In South Minnesota, t.chiy bushels is the average crop; in \Viseon sin, only fourteen; in Pennsylvania and Ohio, fifteen. North of the Canadian line they get a much larger yield than this, Thus in twcutY~sevcn miles along the Assiniboine river, in 1877, over 400,000 bushels were harvested that at'eraged about thirty bushels to the acre. Again, the returns from Prince Albert and other new outposts on the Saskatchewan show a yield of forty bushels of spring wheat to the acre averaging sixty-three pounds to the hush ol. Summing up the reports from thirty four different settlements in 1877, and disregarding the circumstance that a series of heavy rain storms caught the wheat just as it was ripening. we get a general average per acre ($331} bush- els, while the mean yield of barley was 42%: of oats, 51; of potatoes, 229; and of turnips, (562.

By the same rule a low, roughâ€"looking7 { disorderly grog shop argues very badly t, for the morals of the people in its neigh. ‘ borhood. On this hypothesis alone ‘ Richmond Hill has good reason to con“t sider itself equal to, if' not in advance of" many other places of much larger size and greater pretensions. l fintering the Hotel by the front door, we pass into a hall 7 ft wide and 38 ft deep. Opening the first door on the left hand we find a parlor 12x19.3; another parlor the same size 0n the left side, also entered from the hall. 0pâ€" posite this, there is a dining room 14263626, with a dumb Waiter. In front we have a smoking room 12x14; passing through which we light on the bar, 14:41:24. The bar is now a hollow mockery, and the only thing we could find to take was a drink of water and oatmeal. We passed through to the back of the bar where we found a private room 14 4211414. The stair case in the hall is open up to the third ceiling, and will be both elegant and airy. On the second floor we have nine bed- rooms, two 12x12, one 12x14; one 9x16; one 10.63116; one 8:62:16; one 8:6x15; and two 9:93:15; with a large hall from the stairs the I'm? k-ngnh of house, and one on the right side to the south end The magnificent hotel erected a lew years ago by Mr John Palmer, at a cost of some $5,000 certainly has not inâ€" jured the village, but largely added to its appearance, and is in every particular a great improvement upon the old build- mg. Remember the place next dom- to Mr Dewsburry’s,for the cheapest School Books, for Stationary and other School requisites. 0n the third floor, we notice a hall 10 ft wide openngr out. to a balcony. There are five bed rooms,onc 12x12; one 19:91:14," one 19;‘3x12; one llxlS; and another 10x18; Wltll a store room 10.4312; and a lodge room 17x18. On the roof we notice an elegant cupola,f'r0n1 which a really fine view of the country can be seen. Charlev assures us that the lake can be seen on a clear day. However, this may be, the eye can sling itself over a large portion of the surâ€" rounding country. An ironâ€"railing,r of artistic design 13 placed along the front of the rool'nnd around the cupola. Ovor the hull and barâ€"door there is a fine arch of stone, and over the door leading out t0 the balcony, there is a beaulif'ul marble vase. There is also an arch of composition stone over each door and Window.

While many may be rather dubiousi as to whether there is traffic and business l enough in this Village to support three hotels, no one can doubt that the new: building now being erected by Mr Chamberlain, will not prove ereditublel t0 the place, and we trust when comâ€" pleted its management will also redound‘ to the credit of those having it in a charge. The Michigan Central,nceordâ€" ing to the plan now before us, will be a brickâ€"clad hotel. three stories highgvith ‘ a Mansard-roof'. It occupies the site of" the old Dominion Ilotel, destroyed byi fire last spring. , It has a fxonfuge on Yonge street of 50 feet and a depth 0f'40 ft, with a height of 39 feet, or 4‘2 feet, to the top of the cupola.

At the south end of the hotel there will be an open shed, 24x46, with a ball room above, the same side. To the South of the shed there is a stable 33x57, with 16 stalls, 2 bins and a feed room, the roof ornamented with a spire.

Skeele’s Store seems to possess great attraction for some disreputable char- acters. On Friday night, an attempt, ‘was made to obtain entrance into the store. by taking out a pane of glass in the front window. 'l he window on the north side was tried first, and it provingr rather diflicult, the parties tried one of the panes on the other side. Mrs Skeele sleeps in the store, and when the thieves started their ~ra'eket, he Was serenly “locked in the arms of Morpheus,” Those arms were instantly unlocked, and Morpheus fled for safety. Mr. Slteele cast his eyes around until they rested on the old shot gun. He then kindly enquired of those fellows who seemed so anxious to see him, “Do you want to die ?" The question was in order, all right enough. It was quite respectful too; but whether it was the tone employed, or the terrible vision con- jured by their imagination, of the pro- prietor takingasteady and sure am) for their heads With the venerable muse ket,-â€"they spoke not, they laughed not, they sighed not, but mysteriously took to theirheels, and we firmly believe they looked back not.

IV- North York, at Newmarket’ on Tues- day and Wednesday, October 7th and 8th. Oh Saturday morning Mr Skeele thought he would just fire off the gun to see how the thing would shoot anyway, in case it was desirable or necessary to use it. After several caps had been sacrificed the murderous looking weapon came to time with a thunderng explosion The wouldâ€"be burglars may consider themselves very lucky. Had they re ceived that charge, Coroner McConnel or Rupert would have hunted in vain for even a small portion of their body, on which to hold an inquest.

It may be that the next time you will not he asked whether “you want to die, or not?" ’ At the conclusion of the inquest held at.

'l‘o- wards its clgse he stated that from the evidence he could see no reason to be» heve that Mrs. Stowe had been guilty of attempting to procure an abortion on the person of the deceased. He said further;-;“I will not insult your intelli- gence in asking you not to consider, much less be influenced by, an nnnony’ mous communication, either to the con- stable in charge, the jury, or myself.

To the Editor of ihe Herald. Exâ€"Premier McKenzie, in his address at. Gult,remarked,“IIuw vain and absurd a thing it was to put twat in political men who were not statesmen, but who were merely tricky politicians. and who did not hesitate, to make false promises iii order to gain a temporary giliuAmph.” At the close ofthe address the friends present were regaled at a peach festival, whieh, however, was really an excellent tea. The tables were set in the old church lot, just opposite. After tea an hour’s recess was taken prior to a lecâ€" ture whlch it was announced would be delivered by Mr Handford. A sudden and furious storm of rain, wind, thunder and lightning set in, which had the efi’éet of driving many people to their homes avn‘d‘detai'ninsr them there for a. time; but it subsided soon and a full house assembled to hear the lecture, The subject was “Martain Luther,” and for two hours Mr Handford kept. his hearers enehained and enchanted. At the close Rev E D Silleox, in lieu of a formal vote of? thanks. presented the grateful acknowledgements of the Union ville Church and Congregation to Messrs Fraser, Clarke, IIandf-‘ord. and all who had aided in making the proceedings of the day so successful. Special mention was also made of the friendly spirit shown by members of the Bond street Church, Toronto, who to the number of twenty had made an excursion with a four horse team to U’niouville on thls occasion. The fesuval,it may be stated, realized $82.â€"â€"Ecanmnist It is amusing.r to find Mi‘ McKenzie talking so gliblyv of tricky politicians, and broken pledges, who has himself openly violated so many solemn pledges. When in Opposition, how often did he bitterly condemn the Conservatives, for expending public monies before first get- ting the sanction of Parliament, and pledging himself that if ever he got into power, he would expend no public money without first getting.r the consent of Par. hament. Can Mr Mekenzie have forâ€" gotten the Timber Limits Scandal. that awful Big Push that he and Mr Blake made, without first getting the consent oi'Parliament, even before meeting their first Local Parliament, deliberately vio- lating a solemn pledge, when they sold the Timber Limits on 1-“ Townâ€" ships, nearly nine millions of acres, for a mere trifle. 'l‘hus wantonly sacrific‘ ing the poor man’s birth right, doing irreparable injury to tens of thousands of settlers, and paving the way for wide spread ruinous conflagrations, and all this wholesale ruinous destruction of our public domain, was apparently made for the purpose of mesmerising a head for the Crown Lands Department. There was not a shadow of necessity for this reckless waste as there was a sur- plus in the treasury at the time. An address was then delivered by the Rev W F Clarke. of Guelph, He set out by saying that it was not the foun- dation stone of the Unionvizlk Congreâ€" gational Church that. was being raid to~- day. That was laid ages ago, not in Unionville, but in Zion, not by human, butby Divine hands. The Congregaâ€" tional and‘ every other Christian Church were built on the foundation of the apostles anti prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the cornerâ€"stone. Can he have forgotten his wanton exâ€" penditure of hundreds of thousands of dollars, without first getting the consent of Parliament, in violation of his solemn pledge, in his stecl rail purchase? Can he have forgotten the wasteful, extrava- gant expenditure he made in connection with his magnificent water stretches on the Fort Francis Locks, Fosters jobs on the Georgian Bay Branch, etc., in open violation of many solemn pledges. Mr McKenzie may by his mesmeric influence render many of his deluded followers oblivious of his many worse than blunâ€" dering stutesmanship. But the above facts, and many others that can be ad duced, satisfy the great majority of the electors, that Mr Alex McKenzie can. not in any way be compared with Sir John A Macdonald as a Leader, who in spite of all the calumny and abuse that has been persistently heaped on his character. is still by them esteemed the leading statesman of the Dominion of Canada. After appropriate. introfluctory serâ€" vices, in which Revs E D Srlcox, J Allâ€" worth, and T W Handl’ord took part, copies of the leading newspapers, and the principal coins in circulation in Canada were placed in. a cavity in the stone, which was then duly laid by Mr Fraser with the usual ceremonies. To the Editor of the Herald. On Friday ‘2‘..nd inst, the ceremony oflaying the foundation stone of a new Congregational Church at Unionvrlle; was performed by Mr James Fraser, of Toronto. Among those present on the occasion were Revs '1‘ W Handford’ of Toronto: W F Clarke, of Guelph; J Allworth, Paris; A F McFadden, Montreal; E D Silcox, Pastor of the Church, and several ministers resident in the neighborhood.
