During the midsummer holidays, a stalk of" corn has grown very rapidly in the school grounds here. The roots reached down through the gravel walk in front of the ngh School steps for nutriment, find it had grown to a height of 8 feet 4 inches, until Wednesday last, when the schools re-opened, and before nine o’clock it succumbed to the devas- zating scourge which follows the school 0y. ' Nothing can be fairer than Mr. Daniel F. Beatty’s mode of doing business, and which evinces his confidence in the super- iority of his instruments over all others. He warrants his pianos and organs for six years, gives a five day’s test trial, and re- funds money if purchaser is not satisfied. By this means his instuments are brought into competition with others, and invari- ably come out victorious. Address all communications to Daniel F. Berttv, Washington, Warren County, N. J; U. S. A. See his advertisement. The fire, noticed in last issue, in Mr. Rumble’s clearing, near Patterson, did not stay put out, but~0n the 10th he- came more dangerous that when at first noticed, but was got under that day without much damage. On; Tuesday last it again broke, and threatened cross- mg a field of dry peas, and extending to Messrs. Patterson Bros. wood, which is piled on the side line, and owing to the high wind prevailing at the time might also have extended to the works. As everything is very dry nowJ such :1 fire is very dangerous. RICHMOND HILL, AUG. 18, 1876. OFFICE, RICHMOND HILL. THE HERALD. LOCAL... HERALD,” On Saturday afternoon last, a most exciting Lacrosse Match was played on the fair ground, in this village, between the Vilellington Club, of Toronto, and the Young Canadian Club, of this place, before a large assemblage. The games were well contested, both clubs being evenly matched, and the playing on both sides being excellent. The first game lasted 1 hour and forty minutes, and re snlted in favor of the Young Canadian Club, the ball being put through the flags by J: Wiley. The second game, although not so long, was as well played, and resulted again in favor of the Young l Canadians, the ball being thrown through the goal by D. Pugsley. Time, 20 minâ€" utes; The third game was also won by the Young Canadians, A. Teefy send- ing the ball through the flags. Time, 25 minutes. Three cheers being given for each club,=they repaired to the Robin Hood Hotel, where refreshments had been previously ordered by our club; after which the Secretary of the Welling- tons presented the Captain of the victor- ious team with the following address: “ To the President and Members of the Young Canadian Lacrosse Club, of Richmond Hill. “ GENTLEMRN,â€"It is not often that so young :1 club as ourselves is so honored by an acceptance of a challenge by such an esteemed club as that with which we have played our National Game : but knowing that the urbanity of the mem- bers of that club to be such, it gave us more confidence in challenging them than we should otherwise have had. And then, when our challenge was so gra- ciously accepted, and now, when we have been so hospitably' entertained by the members of that club, our high opinion of them has been greatly strengthened. Lacrosse is a game of which all we Canadians should be proud; a game which dates back almost farther than any game of any country of the world ; and although, but now lately revived, is the same noble game as was played by the inhabitants of this vast territory when our Pilgrim Fathers first landed on the shores of our ancient capitalâ€" Quebec. And although a vast space of time has intervened, novabatement of the sports and friendly propensities of the game has been created. V In the' present instance, when we, the members of the Wellington Lacrosse Club, of Toronto, have been so highly honored by the acceptance of our chal- lenge, we sincerely hope the friendly propensities of the game may be fully developed, and will last between us for many seasons to come.” Signed on behalf of the Wellington Lacrosse Club, of the City of Toronto. HARRY P. DAVIES, President. W. J. FULLERTON, Captain. A. S. IIALLOWELL,’ Secretary. HERBERT 0. 000011, First. Committee. Dated 12th Aug., 1876. - The Toronto boys then left for home, highly pleased with the manner in which they had been entertained during the day} On Thursday of last week, a party of excursionisls, comprising the merchants of our village, and citizens in general, including the Fire Brigade Band, be- sides others from the neighborhood, num- bering in all about 200, left for a trip around Lake Simcoc to Orillia. ’J‘he party left, here by Proctor’s stage line at 7 a.m., taking the cars at the Richmond Hill Station at 8:10 and arriving at Bell Ewart at 10. Where pretty steamer Lady of the Lakes took the party on board. The beautiful scenery along the shores, combined with fair weather and music by the band, made the trip across the lake at very pleasant one. On landing at Orillia, at 1 p.m., part of the company proceeded to the Russell House for din- ner, which was not altogether of the best. At 2:30 the steamer started on her homeward trip, arriving at Barrie at 5, where an hour‘was afforded to “do” this sturing town. A 6 the party took the train, arriving; home at 9,30 highly delighted with the enjoyment: provided on theoceaaion of our first Civic Holiday. As Mr. Badgerow, barister, of Tor- onto, was out. driying on Thursday of last week, he met with an accident. His horse becoming frightened, made a sudden dash, overthrowing the carriage and breaking one of Mr. Badgerow’s limbs. On thursday of last week a man named James Robinson, who resides at Eglington, was knocked down and run over by a cab near the Queen st. Avenue. Bobinson, who was evidently‘under the influence of liquer, was picked up and conveyed to the General Hospital, when it was ascertained that he was not ser- iously injured. Mr. John Macklem and daughter, of Whitchurch; had a narrow escape from being killed on Friday last, while cross- ing the railroad track on their way home from Stouflvflle, a gravel train which had just started from the water tank, ran against them,.smashing the b‘fi’ggy and injuring the horse so much that he had to be shot. Mr. Maeklem escaped with a few bruises and Scratches, and Miss Maeklem remained unhurt. It is a mystery how they escaped as the buggy was thrown against a post and building at the side of the'road, and the Father and daughter thrown undei‘ the buggy. The buggy was a covered one and prevented its occupants from noticing the approach of the train, hence the accident. LACROSSE. EXCURSION. City Items. Stoufiville. We paid a visit to the above Court, on Tuesday morning, and it certainly belies not its name. Many a time and oft would parties gain, not only in poc~ ket but in temper, by submitting to loss rather than have cases of a petty nature brought into Court,-â€"but then there is principle at stake. The first case was a suit for the value of a second-hand reaping'machine, valued at about twenty dollars. The defence was :1ny conducted by Chas. Durand, qu., from Toronto, who made the most of every technical objection. Judgment for ten dollars and costs for the plaintiff. The second case was for the value of a like sum. The same gentleman de- fended this case sufliciently well as to have it put off until next Court; This, with two or three other cases, completed the business of the Court, which was presided over by Mr. Delamere, of To- ronto. A series of burglaries was committed in this village on Saturday morning, which were boldly carried out, but forâ€" tunately the depredators were captured. Arehd. Barker’s residence was first en- tered. The burglars got into his bed- room and abstracted $50 from his pants. They afterwards entered the Wellington Hotel, and Jas Barker’s and Miss Cooksâ€" ley’s residences, but were frightened oif without obtaining anything. They then entered the house of David Armit- age. Getting into his bedroom they took acash box containing about”$20‘ out of a bureau drawer, and also a cigar box, which was under the bed, contain- ing several dollars in coppers. The en- trances into the various houses were eff- ected through windows. Mr. Armitage jgot up early in the morning, and saw ‘ what had happened. Shortly afterwards Mr. Barker discovered the loss he had sustained. A rain had fallen‘duing the night, and Mr. Armitage, from the prints of the burglars’ footsteps, was able to track them to the track of the Nipissingl Railway. Constable M arshall was in-} structed to proceed iu the direction of} Toronto to intercept any men that had a suspicious appearance. He was afterâ€" wards joined. by Constable Meek. When near Agincourt station they ar- rested two men on searching them found the missing money. While searching them one of the prisoners struck Mar- shall. and would have escaped had it not been for Simon Kennedy, who had heard of the burglary and had'started in pursuit. All the money taken was found in the prisoners’ possession. They were brought to Markham and examined be- fore Jas. Robinson add Jas. Speight, J. Ps., who committed them to Toronto gaol to stand their trial at the next court of competent jurisdiction. The names of the prisoners are John OiDon- nell and Wm. Lapier, who are supposed to be old ofienders.-â€" Globe. EXERCISING THE PARDONING POWER WITH A CEDAR POST. On Wednesday oflast week an orphan boy named McDonald. residing With his grandmother; was arrraigned before Mr. Nelson Gorham, J. 1)., for striking at (in return for a blow received) a. wo- man, a next door neighbour, but having in her arms a child which unfortunately received the blow. The lad was found guilty and sentenced to. fifteen days in the lockup. Several of the residents and leading merchants treated with Mr. Gorham with a view of having the boy’s sentence cemmuted, or failing that, that he should be sent to Toronto gaol, as they considered the lockup was not a proper place for any person to be con- fined from a sanitary point of view. All appeals were fruitless, as according to law Mr_.Gorham could not infringe upon his decision. The sympathy for the boy became so intense from his sobbings and shriekings night and day, that fore- bodings of trouble caused a sentry to be placed in charge of the lockup. On Saturday the excitement did not abate any, but grew stronger, and about ten p. m. a crowd of about one hundred and fifty congregated at the front of the lockup, who hissed Constable Bogart and and the sentry. The oificers disappeared in quick order, when almost immediat- ely after the crowd made use of a large cedar post as a battering ram 'to burst the door open, which was done in a few minutes, and out came the prisoner amidst the hurrahs of the crowd. No arrests. ' On Wednesday evening of last week a very sad affair happened, resulting in the sudden death of a little boy, asen of John Ford, builder, residing on Clin- ton avenue, in Mount Pleasant, York- ville. There were some men engaged in cleaning the well. which is 68 feet deep, and the little fellow was standing beside them. Suddenly, without any warning, he stumbled and fell into the well, from which the men had removed the pump, leaving the descentwithout obstruction. He was found at the bot- tom quite dead. He appeared to have struck his head against a projecting stone in the passage. There is no blame attached to any of the workmen on the ground. His fall is explained by his father saying that the boy had the whooping cough," and a paroxysm having seized him he had staggered and fallen as he did, as he was an intellingent little fellow of five years, and not likely to have ventured rashly too near the mouth of the Well. There will be no inquest.‘ HUCKLEBERRY COURT. Markham Village. North York. Yorkville. Roarâ€"Spring Wheat. . . . . . u Fall Wheat oxlra' ' ' ' . Wheatâ€"Spring. per bush. . . . 'FEII......-.. .
