We understand that it is the intention of the LO. G.T. in this village to build a Temperance Hall. Dr. Langstafl‘ is about to move the building, now occupied by the Temple, and convert it into a couple of dwelling houses, so that a Hall suitable for lodge purposes will be re- quired. The Masonic Hall, indispensible as it is for all our village gatherings, is too roomy for small societies, the mem- bers of which meet frequently. Each lodge has more or less furniture, and fre- quent removals of the same for the ac- comodation of the public would prove a great inconvenicence to the officers. To obviate this, a Committee has been formed, and steps have already been taken toward the purchase of a site and the erection of a building thereon. We hope that the efforts made by the Com- mittee to make this welcome addition to the public buildings of our village, will meet with the substantial consideration and hearty co operation of all our citizens. Mr. Falconbridge, in addition to his large stock of dry-goods, comprising ladies’ dress goods, gentlemens" coatings and trouserings, together with staple and fancy goods in great variety, announces to farmers and gardeners that he is in receipt of spades, shovels, 2‘ and 3prong forks, barley ferl‘rs, fiat-prong forks, hoes, rakes, nails. These goods were bought direct from the manufacturers, princi- pally from the celebrated makers, Jones, of Gananoque. Intending buyers will dorwell to call and see the goods. Mr. Atkinson will show this week a large assortment of harvest tools, of Can- adian and American manufacture,spades, shovels, ditching and stumping spades. Will also show fresh lines in felt and straw hats, ordered and ready-made clothing. 0111‘ Mr. Ball is preparedfto suit the taste of the most. fastidious in ordered clothing. The usual monthly cattle fair was held in this village last Wednesday. For this time of the year there was a goodly number of animals offered for sale. Quite a number of milch cows changed hands at good prices. To use the ex- pression of one of our butchers, “beef was a little easier.” A licensed hawker, who was starting out on his usual rounds on Monday morning last, had his horses feeling pretty good, and when in front of this ofiice one of them put his feet on the wrong side of the waggon tongue. The consequence was the ground rose up and placed him in wrong position for travelâ€" ling. No damage done. The Episcopal church annual social held in Mr. Powell’s grove yesterday, passed off successfully. The day was fine, and the attendance, though not quite so large as last year, was sufficient to meet the requiremenis of the occasion and leave a balance in favor of the com- mitteee. It took about a dozen men to stop a dog-fight on the street, last. Saturday. The entertainment of the Headford Temple, No. 427, 1.0. G.T., on the 1st inst. , was quite a success in every respect. The occasional showers of rain that have been falling in this section have made the fall wheat and other crops in this neighborhood grow very fast, and, notwithstanding the late spring, _there is promise of a bountiful harvest. The Young Canadian Lacrosse Club, of this village, have been challenged by the Wellington Club, of Toronto, to play a match in the city, on the first of July. A meeting Will be held in the court room tomorrow evening, at seven o’clock, to consider the matter PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY At its Book and Job Printing Offices, Yonge St, Richmond Hill, Ontario.

There was appar- ently not much public business to do, excepting some little discussion upon the making of a drain on William Street.

Further notice in our next. is now somewhere about five months since our public accounts should: have been audited, (and only within these last two months that they were) but aftcra good deal of talk the auditors finally succeeded in procuring the books and madea sort of statement to the Council, and so the matter was left until about two weeks. ago Our Council authorized the Treasurer to publish the same, but up to the present he has not done so. It is really too bad if we pay a man to look after our finances that he does'not attend to his duties better. We would like to know if there is any balance on hand, if so, how much? if not, how much are we in debt? Surely it will not make the matter any better by keeping it back.

'There were quite a number of appeals. The Assessor was rather lax in some parts of his duties. The Court, in looking over the Roll, found that there were very few dogs in this Municipality according] to to the Assessment, so they took upon themselves the duty of calling :ofl each name, and by so doing found that there were some twenty moxe than the Assssor had down. On Monday last, Dom Pedro, Em- peror of Brazil, and party, paid a flying visit: to Toronto. They remained from 4:35 p in until 7:07 pm. The funeral of the late Canon Bald. win took place on Saturday.

Canon of St. “ Iames’ Cathedral, died May 31$t, “aged 50 years.” After the funeral left St. James’ Cathedral, where most of the service was held, it proceeded to St. James' Cemetery, where the casket, after being placed in a shell, was slowly low- ered into the grave in the family plot.

BRIGHT'S PHOSPHODVNW ,--an‘rn‘vnnnwa For some time past there has been an improvement in the European grain market, which has had a tendency to make Canadian prices firmer on the whole. At the farmer’s market in Toronto, on Wednesday last, there were sold 2,500 bushels of wheat at $1.10 to $1.13 for white, $1.10 to $1.11 for Treadwell, and $1.08 to $1.09 for spring. A slight decline in oats was noticeable, as also in butter and eggs. Hay was abun- dant, ranging in price from $12 to $17.50. Straw sold at from $10 to $12.50.

Last Tuesday the members of Rising Star Temple had a time of festivity in l the grove of James Stoutenburgh, Esq. l The attendance was not as large as it should have beenâ€"the day a beautil’ull oneâ€"â€"but quite a number assembled tol do honor to the occasion. The march through the village was enlivened with music by the Richmond Hill Fire Bri- gade Band, which headed the proces- sion. After the disposal of an excellent tea provided by the ladies, the chair was taken by John Lane, Esq., M.P.P., who, after some very intelligent and appro- priate remarks in reference to the spread of temperance principles in the course of the last thirty years, and the influ- ence brought to bear upon Members of Parliament by temperance organizations, called upon the Rev. J. H. Starr, who, in a well prepared address, characterized by thoughtful study, replete with argu- ment, perspicuous in style and eloquent in appeal, dwelt on the terrible evils of intemperance and, in a word, Prohibi- toni, pointh out the remedy. The Rev. Mr. Goodman followed, arguing that the responsibility of the advocacy of tem- perance principles rested not only on the statesmen of our Dominion, but upon every oflicial of every religious denomi- nation, and the head of every family. The last on the programme was Mr. Ely. who seemed to be a. very personifi- cation of‘ temperance, avowing boldly his pride in having his name enrolled in the ranks of pledged abstainers from all that will intoxicate, and his being identified with the thousands who are to-day endeavoring to advance the great temperance reformation. The band did good service between the speeches, and after the usual votes of thanks, wound up the proceedings of the day by play- ing the national anthem. The tendency of trade appears to be un- doubtedly gravitating toward Toronto, Dur- ing the past year a number of Montreal houses have opened branch establishments in this city, assigning as their reasons for so doing that western men do not visit Montreal as frequently as in former years. We notice that Messrs. T. Christie & 00., wholesale hat and fur dealers, in order to share a portion of the trade north and east of Toronto, will remoye from Hamilton and unite with Messrs. Galbraith, Briggs & Co , under the style of Galbraith, Christie & Co. As a large portion of the trade in this line of business is unfortunately done by travellem the new firm expect to retain most of their western friends. -â€" Moneiauy ‘imes. There has been a. slight decline in market prices in this place, which of course must be expected this time of the year. Hay, peas, potatoes and butter are the only arti- cles in which there is any decline in price. Corrected by Mr Isaac Crosby, Grocel, and Dry Goods Merchant. Fire Proof Store. RICHMOND HILL MARKETS.
