Advice Regarding Manitoba. YORK HERALD. H. KEEFLER, RICHMOND HILL ; ONT The following article f:om the Irish Canadian, contains advice which might be advantageouslyfollowed by any of our readers who may have an inclination to go west, regardless of their nationality or religious denominaiion. “The movement (0 Manitoba will we trust, include a full proportion of Irish Catholics. The first comers into that new country will catch its fat things. The lands in most part of' the Province are extraordinarily rich; but are being culled out rapidly by settlers. The Red River valley and the lower parts of the Assiniboine valley include great uncle of what is perhaps the best water-soil on this Continent; and certainly offer in- ducements of fortune which ought not, to be allowed to pass by our people. Breaking up a home on report, no matter how well authenticated, is hardly wise. The Irish Catholic ought to cling to his Ontario homestead; and if he thinks ot'leaving it, to go fi1st to examine the far-off lands for himself. The Surveyor General has supplied a basis of information which every one should inspect in the Land Office at Winnipeg. His maps have divided the Province into parcel of land a niilesquare, each of which can be identified on the ground by “blazes” on the trees, or otherwise. The field-notes in his possession state the growth, if not the soil on each side of that tract; and give sufficient insight into its quality, its wood, its'water, to enable a practical farmer to select in the office a few such lots for his personal examination on the ground. An intelligent choice made in that Way, the intending settler can return to Winnipeg, buy the lot he has selected, and retracing his way homeâ€" all within a monthâ€"take his future course knowingly. Parting with'the old homestead is‘1 in most cases a doubtful policy at first. A man With grown up sons should never i do so; but leaving them behind to keep ‘ things going at home, pioneer the wayl to hislot in Manitoba, himself. A re- versal of this order of proceeding would be the better course under some circum- stances. Bnt in any event it is always wiser when a man can raise otherwise sufficient money to start his new home, to cling to the old. Fencing, draining. housing, all carried to a certain stage of progress on the {arm of the future, the place in Ontario might then be turned into capital; and everything ready to icceive the family, the goods, chattels and little ones could be removed to work out the future in the new venture. But all this apart, we trust earnestly our people will not let the opportunities of fortune open in Manitoba, pass with- out wise and bold effort to turn them to their own account.

The grove swarmed with people, and the road in the immediate vicinity was covered with them, while the running, jumping, etc., was going on. No intoxicating liquors were allowed to be sold, and only one or two persons were observed to be “a little off.” Quite a number from this village went out to see the sport. It was very pleasant in the cool grove, and the large dancing platform was crowded all day. A great deal of interest was evinced in the horse racing, and many persons were anxious to bet almost any amount of money, that their favorite horse could not be beaten, but strange to say there was not any money put up. Taggnit’s “Dominion Girl” cleaned the other horses out on trotting, and Smith’s mare took first money in running. Some good jumping was noticed, and the men ran well in the different races. We think it would be a great improvement ifthejumping, etc., could he arranged to take place in the grove, where the spectators could have the benefit of a little shade. The usual amount of love- making was going on. Below we give a list of the succeSSl'ul competitors in the games, etc., which information was kindly given us by the Secretary, Mr Ma-lloy.

Quite an exciting race took phat-e on Sat- urday evening, the 21st ult., between a Thornhill conveyance and a youngr athlete resident of the village, from the “Golden SunH to 'J‘hornhil. The young man came in ahead by (,VQI‘ a length. From the speed made it was supposed that the contestants thought a whirlwrnd was going at a terrific gait over the hill. After that contest the athlete was challenged by an ambitious farmer who claims himself to be a chant- pion of the lVest to run a two-mile race for ssrnall sum. The deposit was placed in the hands of the stakeholders, and judges appointed so that there should be no dis pute as to the result of the race. It was witnessed by a large concourse ot‘people of all grades. The young.pedestrian was again successl'ul in out-footing.r his opponent. The outsiders sought the hotels, but; were much disappmnted to find that they were closed. They forgot the Crooks Act was again in force. I' may mention that this act is an injustice to the travelling public and hotel lteepms with reference to Satu'dny night.

We hope to see him around again all right in a few days. We were pleased to notice that Catholic picnic held this year in Mr McDougall’s grove, 'l‘hirnhill, was a. decided success. The committee certainly fulfilled their pro- mise announced in the bills “that no pains would be spared to make it. the most pleas- ing entertainment of the season.” The dinner was well gotten up, and heartily relished by the hungry crowds of pleasure- seekers. Swings, croquet, etc., contri- buted to the many facilities afforded those wishing amusement. Foot. Racing, jump- ing, created quite a little excitement. Good prizes Were awarded the successful competi- tors. A gold chain was putup for auction, at a contest between Miss Slany of llieh~ mond Hill. and Miss Collins of Thornhill, was awarded to Miss Slany, $35.70 was the amount raised on behalf of Miss Slany and $3t.70 for Miss Collins.

MORE COUNTERFITS.â€"~Mr Hugh Me- gill of Markham has in his possession a counterfeit $10 bill on the Ontario Bank. The imitation is remarkably good, the only difference to be noticed between it and a genuine one being that the paper is thinner, and the engravings somewhat- blurred. The number is also in a smaller type. A newspaper man would take such a bill in a minute, as he so seldom sees a genuine one.

D Phil- lips and Joseph Leonard had a very nar- row escape on \Vednesday of last- week while digging a drain from Mr Phillip’s cellar, Aurora. It appears the sides of the drain fell in, burying Mr Leonard up to the bre: st, and Mr Phillips, who was under him, up to the neck. Had it not been for a number of men who were at work at a stable belonging to the RM. parsonage at the time there is no doubt but they would l‘ave been hurt much worse. As it; is, Mr Phillips is pretty lame, his leg having been severely bruised; and Mr Leonard received a bruise on the arm.
