A great many persons are dissatisfied with the present state of Yonge street, but from conversation with a number, we find that there are very few who agree on a remedy for the bad read they new complain of. There is no doubt some of the back roads in Mark- ham and Vaughan are much better to drive, on in this fine, dry weather, then the small lumps of stone on Yonge street but it .Seems. to be generally admitted that Yonge street‘ taken all the year round‘is about as good a leading thor- oughfare as we have in Ontario. ()f cOurs‘e, if good reasons can be given in favorof some other plan for repairing the road‘ that plan is entitled to a fair trial. An indignation meeting: was held at Cook’s Hotel, Langstafi, on Wednesday evening of last week, at which Messrs Marsh, Duncan and others condemned the present state of the road very strongly. and resolutions were unanimously adopted to take steps to have the road placed in proper repair. Publicmeetings‘Were held on Tuesday and-*Wednesday‘nights of this week, at Thorhhilland Eglington for the purpose of considering the matter and petitions in fa‘yor 9fa.change were signed for ‘ presentation to the County Council. A ; meeting is to'hé held in' this village, at l Palmer’s Hotel. this' evening‘ and we may fipeet-to hear in what manner it is proposed to remedy the bad condition now condemned?” Meetings will also be heldppt Oak Ridges and Lansing" on held. 3 03k Ridges ”and Lansing" Frid‘ {high}; and the matter will 1'”ou nlgnlu anu me matter WIN no doubt be thoroughly ventilated, The J '7 ""0“' Aurora clnims that"it. would be almost as well to go to Toronto as to Newmarket.” Well, Aurora is only some four or five miles from Newmarket, and if the latter is so very undesirable, why Aurora cannot present much better claim. We have as fineasection of the County around this little Hill, as is to be met with, and the Reeves and Deputies could very easily trnvel from all parts of the County to the Hill, without any danger of getting lost in Gum Swamp, and such uneivilized sections of backwoods as are to be met with not far from Newmarket, Aurora and otherplaces to the north. We don’t. think the new Qourt House will be built this fall, or some little time yet, but our leading men, our Doupcil and orhers of influence and weight, "interested in the prosperity and advance- ment of the village, should not allow any other village to gain a lap on us in the racetor County honors. We will watch the agitation, and keep our readers in formed of the pros and cons. 1f the ques- tion is ever presented, ofa County seat, we should be ready to rise and explain, and push our claims promptly and energetically, We have not much hope that the present agitation about erecting a new Court House in Toronto. will result in the selection of either Newmarket or Aurora as County Town. The papers in those villages are already advocating their respective claims, and the only claim Newmarket is able to bring forward is that of population. That in itself is a very poor reason. and accord- ing to precedent, has never, or very seldom been efl‘ective in accomplishing the desired object. Montreal should have been the Dominion Capital by the same rule, yet we see that its claims, as also Toronto, Hamilton, etc., were setaside for a much small-"r and less pretentious place, but one that claims a more central position. if on thetother hand sufficiently good reasons canvbe given against choosing the town solely for its central locality, we do not see why these claims should be set made for that oflocality alone, But Newmarket cannot show in any particular, save that of V present population, why it should be pre ferred to Richmond Hill. We are in favor of having the County Town separated from Toronto, if the position chosen can be proven more desirable, but we decidedly object to making Sutton. Mount Albert, or "some other village at the extreme northern and ofthe County, the Countv seal. We would much rather prefer building a new Court House in Toronto. There is no reason, however, why it should be so. Richmond Hill ofi'ers everything desirable do a County Town. Property is not un- Iusually dear, and beautiful sites for County buildings could be procured with little trouble,'at reasonable prices. The village is Iingulurly healthy at all seasons. No fever and ague, miasma, swamps, marshes, etc" are here to render life a burden. As al‘central position there is no other place which can compare with it. There are wary good roads leading to it from all parts ofithe County, just as good roads we be- lieve as can be found V in other section of York. Certain portions of them might be improved, and of course would. ifthis were made the County Town. Richmond Hill stands far ahead ofNewmarket or Aurora as a desirable Site for the County Buildings.

The team from the Yorkville com- pany was awarded third place in the com- petition for the company prizes. Aurora company won the first prize. and King company second. The Yorkvillc team put in a protest that neither of these companies fired according to the rules ofthe Ontario Rifle Association, inasmuch as they (l) did not assume the correct. position in firing; (2) had communication with the markers; and (3) had no duly appointed register- keepers. Private Johnston took the prize for the highest individual score in the comâ€" pany match, and Corporal Breaton followed closely after him. In the competition among non-commissioned officers Corporal Breaton was first and Corporal Sewell second. both their scores being very good. Private Johnston took second prize in the privates‘ match.

The shed was burnt to the ground, but. the fire: men saved the adjojmng buildings. although they were at one time ignited. The loss is not heavy.

A. _ Our Grit fricnds are quietly reaping the benefit of the Mackenzre five years’ rule, and a kind Providence,â€"thankf‘ul the country has not gone to the dogs already, under John A. Here,the great fear is that on account of the high price of land in the Northâ€"west territory, all emigrants will make for Texas. but we think the Government price of land along the Pacific Railway is nothing more than just to the Ontario farmer. who with his land at $100 an acre, has to compete with cheap land and pay a tax to build the railway, and thanks to the powers that be, such is their opinion too. In the midst of our quiet dreamâ€" ing, we have been aroused by a war cry from Mr Bradford that the farmers put on their armour and fight,-â€"â€"not the lnâ€" dians, but the Grain Merchants of Toronto. All interested should hear Mr Bradford. There in a large breadth of fall wheat sown this year, that on fallow, and early sown, has made a large growth.

Mr. McCarthy represented that the father had committed suicide by poison- ing while temporarily insane, and it was well known among medical authorities that insanity was hereditary.
