YORK HERALD. bn the whole, the prospects for al more than average crop in Canada are excellent. In some places the fall wheat winter killed, and in others the lateness of the spring delayed sowmg; but the favourable weather of the past few weeks has worked wonders. Our despatches indicate that the crops are looking ‘ better in the eastern than in the western ‘ section of Ontario, but the harvest the country over will be a bountiful one.The hay crop will be an unprecedented one Wheat,oats and barley are above the average. Root crops of all kinds are thriving well, and fruit will at least be an average yield. The potato crop has iso far escaped the ravages of the potato bug,which appears to have lost its terrors The cable reports,and the reports appear- ing in late English papers, show that the crops in Great Britain, and indeed throughout Eur®e generally, will be light. The winter’was an almost un~ unprecedentcdly severe one, and it was followed by cold, wet and unseasonable weather which delayed sowing operations and retarded growth. Under the cir- cumstances, the farmers of Canada have every reason to feel hopeful.â€"Mail. M. H. KEEFLER, June 23, 1879. Pursuant to adjournment, the Coun- cil met in the court room.

On Saturday evening last7 during the progress of the Tunkers’ feast, an acci- dent occurred,which,but for the presence of mind of a. few individuals,W0uld in all probability, have been most; disastrous. It appears that, Mr John Horner Was lighting the fluid lamps, and one of them being slightly overflowed, caught tire on the outside, and the contents began to drop upon the floor, where it continqu to burn , most fiercely. A panic seized the audience, some of whom ran to the doors. others getting.)' out of the windows, and others fainting in tlze arms of their more stable friends. Women cried and shouted, children screamed, and for a time it was feared that much damage would be done'to the weaker part of the audience; many of whom were trampled upon the floor, but not seriously injured. Hats, shawls, parasols, mantles, for a time claimed kindred with the floor, and many a fine lady was seen passing around with no other covering for her head than her pocket handkerchief. Those who escap- ‘ed through the doors had great difficul- ty in getting upon the ground safely, as a high platform is built across the ex- treme front of the Church, and having a railing around it, except at the ends, many men and women were thrown violently over, though fortunately none were seriously injured. Inside, in the meantime, the lighted lamp gave evidence of danger. and Mr. Horner heroically tried to carry it out.- srde, but his hands being covered with burning flame,his sufferings forced him to throw it over the head ofthe people, some of' whom received part of the burn- ing fluid on their hats and coats. Just as the lamp reached the platform a young man from Cashel, named Ilouck, crossed its path, and received the whole contents on his face. Blind, crazy, mad with pain, he ran hither and thither among the crowd,and it was not until at least two minutes had elapsed, that Mr. Wm.Trann, of Victoria Square, pulled off his coat and threw it over him, completely quenching the flame. The injured man was taken to the residence of B McDonald, Esq where he received most careful attention. His wounds being dressed, be was taken home, and subsequent report say he is out of danger. A reliable eye-witness says the scene[ for the space of five or six minutes was most exciting,and one which told heavâ€" ily upon the nerves of' many of the weak er women. One young woman jumped 1 through the sash of a window, receiving ‘ several cuts from the broken glass. A good many narrow escapes occurred, and it will be a good while ere the people will forget the occurrence The church, a new one, is not intended to allow a rush from the inside, and our sober, calm friends scarcely thought when building a house capable of holding 600 people, that the two small doors, which open inside, might not always be used by persons in a hurry to get out. The windows are small, and high from the ground, and no provision has been made for a rush, so that at any time should an excitement prevail, it is not diflicult to see that agood dealofharm will result from crowding. Of course no one is forced to go to their feast but some provision should be made for posmble accidents, and it will be wcl» come news to many to hear that already the members purpose making some changes. THE HIGH Sermonâ€"Last Friday after- noon the most successful picnic ever held in this part of the country took place in connection with the Western High School. The occasion was a gathering of the pupils and friends. prior to the departure of Miss Jennie Lalor, the assistant teacher. who, after the close of the term, goes to lulu: a position in the Ottawa Ladies’ College. The sports consisted ofa Lacrosse match races jumping, and croquet. ALamp Explodes In A Church. After a'number of prizes were distributed by the Principal, Mr Geo Wallace, to the succeSit'ul competitors in the Sports of the afternoon, an address was then read my Mr. Wilson, and a handsome gold chain and locket presented by Miss Jllztggie Hill, on behalf of the pupils to Miss Lulor. Adâ€" dresses were then delivered by Mull/al- lace and others. The school stood remark- ably well at the late Uuniversity examin- ation, and it sends a representaitve for matticulation at. the next examination thereof. About a dozen of the pupils will write at the next intermediate examination, with good prospects of success for all. A number will also try the third-class teachâ€" ers’ examination next month. There are thirty applications for admission to the school next term. A NUISANCE.-â€"A slaughter-house and an offal pit near the cenire of the village cause greaL discomfort and loud complaint among the residents ol'the locality. As the warm weather advances the stench from this place increases, and unless it, be done away in some manner the health of the villagers must. suffer. BURGULAtuEs.â€"â€"Among those who lost by recent burglaries was Dr Aikens, the night before his departure to join his com rades of the Wimbledon team. lie had- been out collecting during the day,and had quite a sum of money; but the thieves only got about $25 from his pants pockets. quite overlooking a heavy sum in the pocket, of a coat close by. Reports have been rife of a visit to another house, but nothing was lost. It is held as certain that some resi- dent has planned, if not really executed, these operations. Most of the villagers have now prepared a. warm reception for any night prowlers. DOMINION Day.â€"â€"Newmarket,Aurora Stoutfville and Markham Village, have grand celebrations on Dominion Day. 'l‘hornliill has two picnics, and a grand aflair with lots of fun, will come off on the 7th of King. The Presbyterian Sunday School is about to buy a new library,and send its old one to some school in the Muskoka d15- trict.

WHERE Is lieâ€"Mr W Horn. the young man, who appeared before Messrs J M Lawrence and A Law, J P’s last week charged by Mr R F Deer, with stealing aduck, was set at liberty un- til the magistrates could decide whether he was guilty or not. They decided that he should be committed, but it seems he don’t take to committing, and although awarrant has been out for him since Thursday last the constables cannot find their man.

A Cricket match between the above clubs, was played in this} village on Saturday last. Game commenced about 2 o’clock, Richmond Hill being sent; .. u WW“, ................ a ‘ to the bat. Newton and M Wilson did l not gauge the ball correctly with their eye, and the result was that it gauged their wickets all serene, pensioning them off with O. for the first innings. Bob ‘Vilson amused himself with the bowl- ing until he scored 8, when an unfor- tunate hit to the south east corner was neatly caught by Reid, and Bob passed in his checks. The home club were not accustomed to underhand bowling, and this became more noticeable when Lawrence allowed his wicket to drop and dropped down to rest himself with O to his credit. Storey worked in a score of 3, and then the ball mixed up the pins, causing him to retire. McCallum scored 2, and seemed to‘ be good for a few more, when owing to ‘ an erroneous calculation as to the where- abouts of the ball, he failed to get in before the wickets came into a partic nlarly close connection with the ball. Clubine picked up the bat with a de- termination to do something, and, after scoring 2, he did it by Sending the ball between the fingers of P Querry, who fastened to it like a barnacle. Mc~ M ahon scored 6 before the Umpire decided that he couldn’t hit the wickets . with his bat7 arficontinue to play. On this information being imparted he pasâ€" sed away to mingle with the heroes who had gone before. Bryden tackled the ball, but after he scored 1, it proved too many for him. Tcefy came up smiling, his wickets tumbled, and he followed suit, by tumbling back to his seat. Richmond Hill went out with a score . of 27 for first innings The Vics fielded Vvery well. P Query being particularly active. Forester and Fierhiller bowled with good eficcf, and Robinson sent in a few good balls. Only fivebyes were made, and no wides were given . Victoria Square came forward, and made a total of 47, with 5 byes, and 5 wides. McKenzie scored 9, but at. last Bob planted a ball just behind his bat,‘ and in front of the wickets, He sought a change of' scene. Robinson ran up to 8 and then got his leg mixed up between the bat, ball, and wickets. 'l‘thmpire thought he shouldn’t do that, and "he departed, leaving behind him, footprints on the crease of time.” 1’ Query counted 7, but he imitated Robinson too closely, and the Umpire stopped him short,never to go again, until the next: innings. Frisby laid down the but with 5,bccause Wilson made the wickets lay down. Fierhiller thought he wouldn’t score any more than 5 that innings. after a skilful “catch” by Cluhine. Forester com- menced well, but Mark Wilson cut his little game brief, by taking “a fly” beâ€" fore he took in any runs. Claffy inâ€" tended to give his side a good lift, but happened to lift the ball into McCalâ€" Inm's hands, after scoring 1. Reid counted 2 a d was “not out." The Richmond . ll club did not show to as good advantage as their opponents in the ‘ field, having never practised together before. Mark Wilson led off the 2nd innings, but got tired holding the bat on the ground,and raised it just in time to miss the ball, and miss scoring any, but the ball did not miss the wickets. Robt. Wilson made 1, and then failed to con- nect with the. opposite wickets in time. He got over the ground pretty fast, but the ball got over it faster. Newton made Land gave P Query a neat ‘catch.’ Story made 2 and followed his predeces- sor's example,by playing into G Query’s hands. Lawrence wanted to give the visitors a show, he didn’t think it would be kind to beat them too bad. and as Ficrhiller was fooling around doing nothing in particular, tried to wake him up with a catch, before scoring any, He woke up, and caught the ball. Fred made for the fence. McMahon thought this work would: never do. He squared himself, and made a score 05 22, send- iug no less than four balls over the fence. Then he wanted a rest, and Reid happened to collar :1 ball in time. McMahon thought it was about his turn to drink. McCallum came up like a wolf on the fold, and hit the first ball that was bowledâ€"clean over the fence. When he got 6 to his name Fierhiller got one in on the wickets, and Mac reâ€" treated towards the reserve, binding up his wounds. Clubine shaped himself for 2, then he shaped the hall towards Prune, who immediately shaped his fingers around it. Clublne thought it was much pleasanter to sit down in the shade, and get some one to fan him. Brydeu made a wicked strike at the ball, but it wasn’t there. No, sirce ; it was lying as calm and cool as a clam, right where the middle wicket ought to be. Tecfy “came forth with stately stride" to nobly fill the breach. ‘ “Quoth he, the other batters have sadly gone away, but if you dare to bowl, I’ll show you how to play.” He scored two, and Fierhiller having measured his man, gave the ball a backâ€"handed, spirial-spring sort of twist, and twisted it among the wickets. The batsman went away to ruminate over the vicissiâ€" tudes ofplaying cricket. McLeod did well,carrying his bat out in both inâ€" nings and scoring 2. Richmond Hill scored 68 in the two innings. Victoria Square took the bat, and made 16 runs, 6 widen, making a majority of 1 and 8 3 wickets to go down. SCIENCE on EXHIBITION The Hill club should practice together frequently, or they cannot expect to win many matches. Some of their men were absent, and their places had to be filled by inexperienced players. Bob Wilson bowled to good advantage durâ€" ing the first Innings. but his arm played out. in the second. McCallum, put in some good balls, and Clnbine did good service as back stop. All things conâ€"- sidered the club did very well.

SIR,â€"-â€"While the York County Coun- cil are now in session I wish to say a few wonds in your valuable journal on the proposed change in the management of the York Roads. The following letter on the York Roads, appeared in the Globe of Satur- day, and may prove interesting to many of our readers. I look upon the putting on of stone in the fall as the height of folly, unless for filling rutsfor the following reasons (L) The road is harder then than at any other time of year; the road bed having been thoroughly baked during the heat of‘ summer and showers having little or no effect upon it; in fact the the broken stone might about as well be laid upon a rock as upon the York Roads in the fall of the year. ’ (2) The teaming is far the heaviest at this season of the year. Many of the Waggons will weigh sixty hundred, with narrow tires; :what could be expected but the crushing of the newly scattered stones, seldom amounting to one layer, and after they have been travelled on for a short lime only here and there is a whole stone left. The sandstone are crushed on the first touch, those a shade harder forming the main bulk are first cracked into two or more pieces, and the smaller they get the more easily they are crushed still smaller, until they become sand. A few hard pieces are left scattered about; these, with the debris, are scraped off the spring follow-â€" ing, the hard stone thrown back on to the hard pan to roll about, and after a time pitched up again and generally wasted. This process is repeated year after year. The sufl'ering of the poor ‘horses is to be considered, wear of bags, lof waggons, loss of time, and necessarily light loads, and tolls the same. The following is the score:-â€"â€" “gnu )uuuc, uuu mvuu unlv cull-v- (3.) The third reason I give is, that, under this mode of management the road is constantly getting thinner. There is no use in any one denying this. Many places on the road were absolutely bare this spring. 1 have seen them my- self, and other parties have seen them. Any who deny this will he like the lawyer who undertook to prove the pri- soner innocentâ€"only two witnesses had seen steal, but the lawyer could bring thirty to prove that they did not see him steal. It is an undeniable fact that while we are paying $300 a mile every year for repairs the road is constantly getting worse. It is a serious matter to us who have to travel the road. It is a serious matter to every ratepayer in the county that a road which should pay all the county tax is so badly managed. Scraping the made is another poiiit 1 wish to refer to. It- makes the road look nice at first, but ultimately does it agreat injury. A coating; is scraped off which would act as a carpet to a floor. What is it that is scraped ofi"? Sand. fine gravel, some mud, and a few whole stones. Now, all these, if let alone a few days longer, would dry and set; pro tect the body of the road; help to keep it smooth, prevent ruts forming, and keep showers from reaching the bottom of the road. But after the road is scraped ruts form, water stands in the rats, softens the bottom of ruts, and wheels constantly pass in the same rats and sink them deeper and deeper, with no loose gravel to fill them as fast. as they form. The new pl-m is to do away with scraping entirely,un]ess wherr mud is carried upon the road from a sideline; to fill the ruts with stone early in the spring, as soon as they form, and in summer fine gravel to smoothen the road. 13b Innings Thickpenny the Markham murderer, has been selflenced to be hanged on the 12th of September.

Tuesday June 17th,1879 The annual report of the Public aud Separate School Inspector for the southern part of York County was read. It stated that there had been a marked improvement in the schools since he lost reported. 1 Much advance had been made in the method 1 of instruction,especially in that of reading, arithmetic,English grammar and geography l IIe was looking forward to even greater improvement in this respect,on account of "the preparatory training teachers received tin the High, Model. and Normal Schools. Last year all the schools in the countyl ranked among the first class.save the one‘ at York Mills, and School Section No. 1, Scarboro’. In the latter school no blame could be attached to the teacher,he having had too many pupils under his management. The Inspector trusted that the tmstees would appoint an assistant teacher at that school. During the past year. School Section No.253York, Nos.6 and 12. Mark- ham,and N0‘7,Scarboro’,had risen into the first class. An increased amount of school accommodation had been provided at York- ville.Woodbridge,Don Mount,and Pnrkdale. rl‘he Model School at Yorkville had nine departments. The erection ot'anew School- house at Markham Village was in con- templation. The total amount of receipts for SOllOUl purposes in 1877 was $68,763 24; in 1878 the total amount was 365.772 66. this amount being a decrease of $2,990 58 on that of the preceding year. In 1877 the disbursements amounted to $59,672 80 and in 1878 to $56.l47,the decrease in one year’s expenditure being $3,525. The balance left in the hands of trustees for 1878 was $8,843 43.

Rimer the Toronto forger, was arrest- ed at \Vinnipeg, about two weeks ago, and escaped from the constable while on the journey to Toronto. On Monday night or early Tuesday morning of last week. burglars entered several places on Weston village. Money was evidently what they wanted, as no instance were goods taken. Two stores, those of Mr White and Mr Morâ€" row, were amongst the places visited. At the former the thieves got absolutely nothing, being unable to get through the shop. At Morrow’s they obtained twelve cents from the pant’s pockets of the master of' the house. They fortuâ€" nately missed his watch and the key of the shop which were in another part of the room. The cash-box, containing abouta hundred dollars, also escaped their notice. The third place entered was that of Mr Shuttleworth, who, as far is known, lost nothing. This is not the first time of late that houses in the village have been entered at night, and on each occasion distinctive marks have been left, which go to show that the same person has been engaged in all the burglancs.-â€"Globc.
