Postmaster POST OFFICE NOTICE THURSDAY. MAY 6, The Annual Spring Exhibition of the Richmond Hill and Yonge Street Agricultural Society will be held as usual in Mr John Palmer’s Grounds, in this village, on the anniversary of the Queen’s Birthday, 24th inst. Judging ‘ from present indications the Exhibition ‘ will prove a very successful one. The receipts last year amounted to $586.63, and the disbursements to $504.83. This was a more favorable statement than that of the previous year, and we see no reason to doubt a proportional increase in attendance and prizes this year. Very few changes have been made in the prize list, but there has been considerableadded to it, and an unusual number of specials are ofiered. We are pleased to note the earnestnesg of the oflicers and some members in en- deavoring to aid the Society as much as possible, and hope that many others will follow the commendable example. To the perseverance and untiring energy ‘of the President, Secretary,and severalDirectors the complete success of former years is due. Let every per- son in this neighborhood seek to ad- vance the interests of the Society by every means in their power, for the next few weeks, and they may rest as- sured the labor will not be lost, or with- out remuneration. The society always has a good show of horses, and this year we anticipate a decided increase in the number of heavy and light horses. Very few shows can_crowd us aside in fine-looking horses, and the same may be truthfully said of cattle and sheep. We have thoroughbred stock in these classes that are well worthy the atten- tion of farmers all over the country, and have never been beaten in any show. In swine and poultry the exhibition is always of a superior order, and our farm implements manufacturers have a world-wide reputation. The Waggons, Carriages, etc,, would add to the, attrac- tions of: any Provincial Exhibition, and our harness and leather workers, secure prizes from all over the country. In dairy produce and other ladies’ work, we hope there will be a great improve- ment on the exhibition made last year. We feel assured that the ladies have only to exert themselves in order to make this part of the Exhibition equally, if not more attractive than any other. We have every confidence in their abil. ity to do so, and hope that our expecta- tions in this particular will be more than realized. A very pleasant and prominent feature in connection with the show in the ball will be the collec- tion of house plants. We have many fine, rare and choice plants in this vil- lage, and we hope all those in this vil- lage and neighborhood who can bring their plants, will endeavor to do so. There are three prizes offered, but this is not the ‘main reason why the plants should be exhibited. Nothing can add more to the display in the hall, and help to make it a grand suc- cess. it. He they have been the aulhor 'of the first half, but the latter part is copied 'word for word from Mr .Blake’s speech, delivered at Teeswater. Our contempor- ary up. on the bill, should not lay himself open to such bare‘faced plaigarism. He is old enough to know better. to know that such attempts to deceive the public, are not honorable. We don’t find fault with him for publishing an extract from Mr Blake’s speech a; Teeswater. He may .publish all Mr Blake’s speeches” if he wishes ,to, but he should give .Mr Blake credit for them, and not attempt to make his readers believe llmt he or.his amanu‘ensis, is the author. “Honor, (or credxt.) to whom honor is 29:” The gentlemen who are endeavoring to foster and encourage the increase of house plants are deserving of every praise, and we trust there will be an effort made this year to form our Society into an Agricultural and Horticultural Society, as we would thereby be entitled to and receive the Government Grant. in the meantime it is the duty of every one to lend a helping hand to the com- ing exhibition. Those who believe they could sell a few members tickets can get them on applying to the Secretary- The Bills, containing the prize list and other particulars. will be out in a few days.

Our lip-town contemporary had a very spirited article a few weeks or so ago, on “Why are you a Liberal. 1” Half of this article was well enough in its way, if heap- ing all kinds of abuse upon the Conserva- tives, and representing the Refer-mere as saints too good for earth, is supposed to be the correct thing for Liberals. The re- mainder of the article, dealt with politics in a broader sense, and in a more statesman- like manner. The article was signed “A Supporter,” and was calculated to lead readers to believe that some remarkably clover Liberal in this neighborhood had written it. The LIBERAL copied that article from one of our Northern exchanges. It was sent texthis exchange by :1 correspond- em, who passed hirnself off as the author of Until further notiéé, Mails will be closed at the Our Spring Exhlbition. Still Trying to Mislead.

The meeting called by the Reeve in the 001111: Room,fin Wednesday evening last. to consider the advismbility of purchasing the Fire Engine now on Exhibition_here,_was largely atteqdefld. .. In the absence of the Reeve, Dr Langstafi, it' was moved by MrM Tecfy, seconded by Mr C Chumberlin, That Mr Parker Crosby act as Ohuirmun. The -meeting was then called to order, and on motion Mr D T Fairbminl was ap- pointed Secretary. The Secretary read the cir- cular issued by the Reeve, calling the meeting. MR LAWRENCE said ' the Morn‘son engine tried last Friday. was 25 years old, and neml every rutepm‘er he spoke to was dissatisfied with the melllt of the trial. It was for the lutepuyere tosmy whether the Council should pay for the engine, or the mtepnyers.‘ He asked the Clerk whether a By-lmv had been passed authorizing the purchase of the engine. The Clerk replied that he was not aware of ”MY- Mn LAWRENCE contented that according to the Statutes it is illegal for the Council to pur- chase real or personal property Without passing aBy-laW. As a ratepayer he protested against the Council buying the engine, and forbid the Tregsuger to pa): fqr int. The Clerk read the Statutes on the matter, and was of opinion that While it was clear property must be purchased by By-law,it was not clear that such By-law must be submitted. to the ‘. “““V‘Ymm,, ., ~,«nd.ndn_“_ :11._:| MR CHAR CHAMBERLIN moved, seconded by MR S.

It; should be understood that the enginoflwus not purchased yet. ~ MB- REDDITT contended that the steamer al- luded to could not be purchased, and that the hand engine would prove more beneficial to the village. He only wished to do What was right and just. In spending rntepevers’ money, he also spent his own, and he thought it unjust that the Council should be so strongly censured before the engine had been given a. fair trial. In a. speech of considerable length, he upheld the action of the Council, reviewed the Fire Engine question for some few years, explained wherein. he considered a. steamer unsuitable for the vi1~ lage. He wished to buy the cheapest and best engine, and to act according to the wishes of the ratepayers. If a majority ‘of the ratepayers in the village signed their names in favor of a. steamer, he would get them one. He was elected to do his duty, and he intended to do it, notwith- standing the opposition of grumblers who com plained that the head engine was useless because it required forty men to Work it ; and who never helped to work the engine yet. He could throw water in three minutes, and work the engine with eight men. He thought the engine should have a. frgr tram before it was condemned, or the Council a use . , Mn CHAMBERLYN then strongly advocated the purchase of a. steamer, which could be got for $1300.11; would save $30 a year on his property in insmance mtes, and if the town was insured for l50_,_ 000, they could 593:8. $7530 yearly. The discussion was long, and personalities were frequently touched upon by speakers After considerable cross- fireing, abuse, explorin- tions, etc” the meeting adjourned until Monday Evetning next.

" Mifihuncumb and Mr W Pugsley (Councillors) agreed with Redditb and made lenthy speeches in _s_up1)ort of what they had done. MerrElliott was in fzivor of giving the engine a. fair trial before it was condemned. If it proved a. gopjl engine th_e Council ahou1_d buy if“. Mr W Trench, exâ€"Reeve, thought the engine was a good one,and if it came up to the guarantee and could be worked with 12 or 15 men, it was one the village should be proud of.He thought‘the en- gine should be fairly tested, before it was con- damned. Now that spring time has come around again in earnest, and the warm weather is testing the enduring capacity of humanity, it is time for those who have not already-done so to clean up their yards, and remove V, everything in the shape of impurities which ' may have accumulated during the winter. This should be done, for their own sake, as well as that of their neighbors, as disease can hardly ever be produced or propagated to such an alarming ex- tent by any other means, as by allowing rubbish and putrifying matter to remain in close vicinity to dwelling houses dur- ing hot weather. Of‘ course those who do not attend to this timely advice and warning must be made to do so, and we have no doubt our efiicient Inspector; Mr Brieknel], will look sharply after all who neglect to do their duty in this matter: BOGUS AND COUNTeRFeIT.â€"There is no genuine Hop Bitters made or sold in Cana- da, except by Hop Bitters M’f’g Co., of Toronto, Ont, nor can there be, for the sole and exclusive right to use the name Hop Bitters is secured to said Company by the laws of Canada, by two registered trade marks, and it is a heavy penalty for any one to use the name Hop Bitters or make or sell anything pretendi 2 to be like it.

The first number of the Aurora Bore- alis, arrived last week. It is in the eight page form, and presents a neat and attractive appearance, and is a very readable sheet. The Congregational meeting of the C M Church, was held at the parsonage on Monday last. We are pleased to {announce that the condition of the Church is very satisfactory to the offi- cers and members. ' Mr Harrison has cut down the two large shade trees in front of his shot), and greatly improved the appearance of the place. Mr Peter Savage is putting the fin- ishing touches to his residence, by hav- ing a neat and attractive looking iron railing erected around his balcony. The funeral of Mrs M Steve nsou, took place on Wednesday last, and was largely attended. Deceased was buried in the Presbyterian Cemetery. The monthly cattle fair was held in this village on Wednesday last. The attendance was fair. Some fine cattle was noticed, and prices were good. PAINFUL ACCIDENT. -â€"On Thurs afternoon, 29th ult., Miss McLellan (daughter of Dr McLellan, Toronto ,) who Is visiting her friends at Patterson, met with a very painful accldent The young lady was opening,r a bottle of Ammonia, when it exploded and the liquid flew into her eyes, and all over her face. She sufl'ered the most intense agony all afternoon and night, although every thing possible was done to relieve the pain. It was feared that her sight would be entirely destroyed, as she was unable to see on the following morning, but under Dr. Jas. Langstafl’s care, she has partially recovered the use of her eyes, and the Doctor feels assured that her sight will be completely restored in a short time. Miss McLellan has the sincere sympathy of' every one in her great affliction, and her many friends will be pleased to hear that she 1s rapid- ly recovering from the effects of the accident. MECHANICS’ INSTITUTEâ€"The Anâ€" nual meeting of the members of the In- stitute was called on Tuesday evening;r last. The attendance was small, and no business was transacted. The meet- ing adjourned until Tuesday 11th inst, at 7.30 o’clock. The meeting is for the election of officers and other important business, and We hope the members will endeavor to attend. MEDICALâ€"Dr. B. E. McKenzie informs us that he has decided to lo- cate and practice his profession at Rich- mond Hill. He is a graduate in Arts 'of Victoria University, and a Graduate in Medicine and Surgery of McGill University at Montreal. His ofiice and resuience is at. Mrs Walker’s Youge street. NOT TO BE FOUND.-The party or parties who broke into the Patterson School House recently, after school hours, and conducted themselves in the most disgraceful manner have not yet been discovered, notwithstanding that the Trustees have offered a Reward of $50, for their apprehension, and the Vaughan Council offered a reward of $20 for the same purpose. Certain par~ ties are strongly suspected, but there is no positive proof, and in the meantime, the suspectedpersons are being watched. SOME PEOPLEâ€"The ultimatum of meanness is exemplified in the man who takes his local paper for several years Without paying for it, and when he re- ceives a bill for back dues, sneaks up to the post oflice and tells the Postmaster to send word to the publisher to stop sending the paper 10 his-address. A SEVERE FALLâ€"On Mouday' last Miss Wright, (the daughter of Mr Wm \Vright, who lives on Yonge street. near the Oak Ridges toll gate,) was thrown from her horse, while riding through this village. The horse became fright- ened when passing Trench’s shop, and jumping suddenly to one side of the road, threw the young lady very violent- ly. No serious injury was inflicted, although Miss Wright was severely bruised and shaken. LADIES AIDâ€"The weekly meeting ofthis Society was held on Monday evening, at the residence of Mrs Peach. The social was fairly attended, Tea was served in the basement, and over $16 _Was collected. The sewing committee were unusually busy during the after- noon and evening. The next meeting willbe held at the residence of Mrs George Soules, on Monday next, 10th inst. All are requested to attend. HAM AND COFFEEâ€"The Social of this nature, which was held at Victoria Hall, Thornhill, on Friday evening last, under the auspices of the I 0 G T, was well attended. A number of persons were present from this village. The refreshments were good, and were well appreciated. After tea Mr John San- derson, of Richmond Hill,was appointed chairman. The programme consisted of solos, and a dialogue. Amongst the songs worthy particular mention was one excellently rendered by Miss Purkiss, who was accompanied on the piano, by Miss Ada Reid. Johnny Grice also sang a comic song in good style, which proved highly amusing. The Dialogue “A Little More Cider,“ was rendered in character, and caused heaps of fun. The parts were all well taken, but those which created the most laughter, and wh1ch were acted to pe1fection. were taken by Miss Reid and Mr Johnny Grice. In another column will be found an able speech by Mr Boultbee, M P for East York, which was recently delivered in the House of Commons, on the National Currency. Read it. It will repay perusal. LOCAL ITEMS. ‘Boultbee “(m the National w w â€" i-“J‘t WHKVV ._.cau.-1D This subject is one of such importance“ that [think I am warranted in giving exs pi-ession to my very crude ideas for a few moments. It seems to me, sir, that this subject is well worth discussing, and by[ men much more capable than I am, and moreover, the question is of such growmg interest in the country that Ido not care‘to be silent on the subject. It is useless to deny or seek to conceal the unpleasant truth that we have had much trouble in conducting our afi'airs for the last few years, we have suffered and are suffering serious embarrassment, in fact, have been. rather going from one stage to another of evil, the last worse than the first, and very naturally have to cast about for some means whereby we mayhope to extricate ourselves from the trouble into which we have fallen. in inaugurating the National Policy we had in view the purpose of doing our own husniess. manufacturing o‘ur owu commodi- ties and thus creating our own wealth, but in doing this, and so doing it as to give that Policy a’ fair trial, we require larger| means, more capital on which to conduct our business. But, 1 agree fully with the member for South Norfolk, that it is not advisable to seek to increase our present means by borrowing more money in Eng- land, The great evil we have to struggle under now, is our enormous foreign iii- debtedness, overtaxiug the resources of our country and the energies of the people in paying the interest, and causing each year increased difficulty in carrying on the affairs of the country. Iam aware thata certain measure of ridicule attaches to any man who questions for a moment the in- fallibility of a gold basis for all currency or says anything in its disparagement. The reason for this is to be found in two causes, , first those who discuss this question with authority are for the most part men con- nected with the large financial institutions, the wealthy rulers of the world, and as a necessary result when there is any sugges- tion of interference with established cur- rency. these men come at once to the front and strenuously oppose any such disturbing interference. The hard part is, that a small ring of these financial men stand with their hands on the throat of the world, they tax every enterprise and impose a heavy discount on geiiiusmothing can be projected, no scheme can be set afloat without their tithing it heavily. A man of great intellec- tual power may spend the best years of his life in devising something for the benefit of mankind,but before he can reap any reward for the efforts of his genius, for his years of toil, the capitalist must be invoked who sweeps away nine-tenths of she profit in assisting to float the adventure. These men control the financial interests of the world, and make money out of money. It is, therefore, only natural that they should dislike and oppose any change of the estab- lished system, and unfortunately they have 'UHO 'rD-‘IDz-r rvuq I @9301 Err/:1? mmwnanuvâ€"IHH bâ€"‘mmw‘ w (vi-03w: enormous power. But the second reason is of n more solid and reasonable character, and it is this, as stated by the member for North Norfolk, viz. : that gold and silver have been established for centuries as the basis or medium, or measure of value in international exchange. Now, it does seem to me, and it is aquestion so important. that it demands the gravest treatment, that it is quite practicable for the affairs of nations to be based and conducted internal- ly and among their own people upon and with a national currency based on the national resources, and yet leave gold as the basis of value in International Exchange For example, as we are now openingr up our North-West by means of the Pacific Railway, we might it seems t me try the experinient ofa currency 0 our own in connection With this work. Supposing for instance, that the first one hundred miles west of Winnipeg costsa million of dol- lars, Why should not the Government issue a Dominion currency in payment for this work, bearing no interest but re- deemable if its redemption is ever desired, in say ten or fifteen years in ordinary Dominion Stock. the currency meanwhile secured not only by the general credit of the country, but especially by the work constructed and by the. land set apart to assist in building the road, so that the price received therefor should be hypothe- cated to redeem this currency. In my opinion aDominion currency issued thus and secured thus would not depreciate while it would give us an additional mil- lion of circulation, thus largely increasing our general business capacity, while as against borrowing the money in England, it would save us fifty thousand dollars a year in interest going out of‘ the country. thus great advantages would be conferred and no evil if the/currency did not de- preciate, and I hesitate not to nfiirm that subject to these conditions it would not,and in such case the same reasoning would ap- ply to any reasonable amount issued in the way on a like basis, and With similar safe- guards, so that we might in fact within the next few years builda thousand miles of Railway through our fertile lands, and in- crease our available business capital by ten millions. saving ourselves five hundred‘ thousand dollars a year which would other- wise be drained out of the country for in- terest. This currency would thus be based, on our general and also on certain special resources, and I should like to know if instead of doing this, we borrow the money in England, on What credit we shall hor- row it. It will not be on the Credit of ouri gold, because as other nations we have it not. No, the money, ifborrowed, will be loaned to us on the credit of the national resources of, Canada, our lands. timber, public works‘aud the like. And, air, when we come to thbseu'esolutions, what policy do they really initiate. Nothing less than‘that what statesmen have been all along attempting to do, attempting iny deed to preserve the theory of a gold‘ .«w vâ€"V‘V‘. ‘1\vlâ€"-\y- wwwpwfiwvâ€"qt... basis of value while disregarding it practi-t cally. They desire, not to disturb theI currency, but they want more money, and they know that the country requires a larger medium of exchange for business. So they dou’tdisturb existing arrangements, but simply issue a larger proportion of currency and a. smaller proportion of gold. . Andl maintain that this is nothing less, than a practical recognition of the truth that the gold measure of value is only at theoretical measure of value after all, and that the real basesof credit are the national resources of the country. The arguments used by the member for North Norfolk, are the old stock arguments which have been used for centuries,they enunciate noth- ing new, and for the purposes of argument in this debateimight as well have been left unsaid as they were all pointed at large illegitimate issues of irredeemable currency with no source for redemption provided, not at such a scheme as I suggest, which is widely different, indeed, being- merely the issue of a small and reasonable amount in payment for a' public work, that work being its security as well as the lands set apart for its construction, and the general credit of the country. Altho’ able to agree with the mover of thevresolutionâ€"Mr Wal- laceâ€"there were certainly very novel ideas put forward by him, and very well worthy of a careful consideratiou.

Wnoss FUNERAL was IT,-â€"THE STORY or A DEAD Branâ€"One day last week, a young man, about twenty-five years of age, 6 feet in height, with sandy-Whiskers,brown hair and grey suit. drove over from Wood- bridge, so he said, to this village. He was accompanied by a black-haired, five foot eight, dark suited friend. The six-footer wore a very sad look, and seemed “allee snmee brokee up,” as the heathens say.‘ He put up atone of our hotels, and told ‘ the landlord a very pitiful tale. His mother was dead, and the funeral was now on the road from Stoufi'ville,to this village. He not only looked sad but he felt sad, and in order to keep his spirits up. he toek an extraordinarily large amount of " spirits” down, at intervals of half-an-hour or so. He waited long and patiently for that funeral, but it came not. Acting on the landlord’s suggesâ€" tion, he telegraphed to find out what was the matter, and received an answer, so he said, that ‘ the funeral would be along in the morning. Diu- ‘ ner , tea, bed and breakfast was received, and and the spirits still kept going down, but the funeral didn’tconnect. The young man looked unutterable woe, and the sympathiz‘mg landlord was so affected by his grief, that he kept comfort- ing him by remarking “Brace up, old fellow, don’t give way like that.” “The funeral will be along pretty sol'in." “Yes, yes it is sad, but you shouldn’t take it so hard. Just have a. little something, it will do you good." The sad lookâ€" ing young man had “a little something,” and after moving around for a few hours, told the landlord he would “hitch up, and meet the funer- al." The landlord thought it a good idea and as our sad-looking friend was going away, he order- ed the landlord to have a good dinner for about fifteen or twenty persons. who would be sure to accompany the funeral, and would want dinner. Then he left us, and the landlord looks sad yet,-- whenever he ponders over the fact that that young man forgot to pay for his meals. bed, or for his spirits being kept in . It is supposed that he did not meet the funoruf, at least the funeral never got here, and the landlord can’t sleep at night for fancying he sees that sadâ€"looking young man driving all 8.1‘ (flind the country, looking, limiting and telegraphing for that funeral. If he should ever strike the same hotel, in this town, he'll never be troubled about funerals any more. ’l‘hero’ll be a. funeral, but he won’t feel much in- terest in it, and yet the landlord says “he’ll be there, all solid."
