East York'Liberal Conservative Asso- wciation meets at Man’s Hotel, Mar-k- ..ham Village, on \Vcdnesday, the 16th day of‘June, for the election of' oflicers, and other matter of very great import- ance, in the interest of the association. .Alfred Boultbee, Esq, M. 1)., for East York, will be present and address the meeting. Other gentlemen have been limited, and are expected to be present. That this statement is manifestly untrue, is well known to all in the village, but the “few and select” readers *in the country are greatly deceived re- garding the character and actions of tour Councillors,-â€"if they believe what the LIBERAL states. With the excepâ€" tion of one or two persons, who, through personal enemity, Wish to annoy and harass the Council, we can unhesita- tingly state that the ratepayers approve of the actions of our Councillors, and are especially pleased with the good serâ€" vice they rendered the village, in purâ€" chasing such an efficient and inexpensive :fire engine. The LIBERAL censured, abused and almost libelled the Councillors because they dared to even enter into a negotiaw "tion for this engine without its approâ€" bation. But the LIBERAL soon disâ€" covered that the Councillors were not to be led around or turned aside from their purpose at the nod of ignorance, or the bark of malignity. The LIBERAL finding that it was most efiectually "' sat ~0n "in that matter, and that it was only arousing the laughter cf the ratepayers by the amusing and somewhat amazing ugnorance displizyedJet the matter drop. Now it is willing to admit that the engine is perfectly satisfactory. That :must be quite a relief to the; Councilâ€" lors, they were so very much afraid that 'the engine would not please the 'Li-BERAL But, while admitting this, the LIBERAL does not approve of' the manner in which ithe Council paid for this engine. at some member or members of ~the “Council, and was trying to (ventxit. But for good reasoning there is none. He ~:says the fund should not be touched at all ; let it accumulate. Then imâ€" mediately after he says a new school is «necessary; let it be used for that. Now What sense does he show by such language. First, condemning the pur~ :chase of the engine; then approving of Athe purchase, but condemning the manâ€" ner of payment; next, advismg that the money used to pay for the engine be mot. spent, and then immediately after advocating that it be invested in buildâ€" ing a school. What does the man moan ? 01' does he mean anything? , THURSDAY. JUNE~10, 1880. According to the Financial statement issued by the Treasurer last December, there is a surplus in his hands of over "$3,800. Part of this surplus is called the Municipalities Fund or Clergy Ric-â€" serves, and was invested in' Toronto Debentures, at :six per cent The Councillors, at their last meeting, apâ€" propriated $750 of this surplus to pay for the Fire Engine, and $350 for the “reel, hose, etc.. making a total of-$1100. For this reason they are held up to the ratepayers, by the LIBERAL, as “ lackâ€" ‘ing good sense and sound judgment,” and this act és'censured as “ injudicious and unwise ” if the LIBERAL believes such to be the case. why» does it not .give its reasons for such belief. Surely (it does not mean the article- ofilast week to explain the reason. ‘There is none in it. The article clearly shows that the writer or inspirer was actuated by some every mean motives,~â€"that.he had a spite Going South. West and Enst, includ- ing Maple, Thornhill. Toronto‘ Markham, &c., Going North Going South, E nst and West (as above) at 7:00 N. B.â€"Registered Letters must be handed in at least Fifteen Minutes earlier than the above In - Itioned hours 101' closing. 11 I Richmond Post Office, M. TEEFY May 19m 880. Postmaster RIBHMIIND HILL PEST BI‘I‘IUE If the LIBERAL writer is satisfied that the money would be judiciously .inâ€" vested in building a school, is it not ireasonab'e to assume that it would be as ‘well invested in a fire engine, especially ‘when he believes the engine to be necessary and efficient. This villnge is not going back, property is notrdeereasâ€" ing in value, and the ratepayers will be more able to pay the rate on this $1100. in two or three years time, if it Is reâ€" quired, then they are now. Besides a number of' these- debentures have lapsed, and the money is now banked at a low rate of interest and any business man knows that the rate he pays on the dollar is worth more than that to him. So we fail to see how the Council have shown such terrible depravity; such lack of comâ€" mon sense; such injudicious and un~ wise actions. But we do think the LIBERAL man, well,perhaps every one knows ; but, really,some kind friend ought to advise him not to make such an exhibition of himself. The LIBERAL is determined to find fault with the village :Council. Hav- ing this object solely in View, it loses no oppmtunity of abusing the Councillors and of misrepresenting their actions to its few and select readers. We do not rebuke the LIBERAL for ventilating what it imagines to be opinions, but :we do protest against such a public‘ dis- play oi' ignorance, prejudice, and dis- honesty as is presented in the editorial in that sheet last week, under the head- 'ing “another mistake.” The writer endeavors to lead the public to believe that the Whole village is "boiling with indignation” at the manner in which the public ail-airs have been conducted 3by the Councillors.

AGREAT Successâ€"The Montreal Star is a wonderful newspaper success. Its circulation has gone on increasing year atter year, until it has hastreached the f10nt rank in Canadian journalism. The circulation of its daily and weekly edition now aggregates fifty- seven thous- and copies, entitling the proprietors to clalm the largest circulation in the Dom- inion, a claim whichlis not disputed by any other publisher. It consumes two tons of paper a day, being one half the product of a largepaper mill. The Star circulates throughout the length and breadth of the Dominion,and is recogniz ed asa great advertising medium. It wellrdeserves its success.

The Concert given in the Grand Cen- tral Hall on Monday evening, by this troupe, was decidely good. Miss Sallie Holman is undoubtedly a singer of great merit, and one who is always assured of a good reception by cultured and criti- cal audiences. The programme was well selected, and equally well rendered, a gentleman present remarking that he never heard better music on the Hill, and he has resided her'e for many years, Mr Redstone, tenor, sang “The Death of Nelson” and showed a voice of great power and excellent trainmg,‘ Mr Marley, Violinist, is a master of his in- strument, and it is doubtful if he has a superior in Canada. Mr Dalton,bari- tone, Miss Christie, contralto, and Mr Pierce, pianist, all displaped unusual ability, and were warmly applauded. El‘he selections from "‘Pinaf‘ore,” were very pleasing, but might be rend ered more so, by a little more animation’ in accordance with the design of this comic opera. The hall was not al well-filled, .as the programme deserved, and those who were not present missed an excellent musical entertainment. The ladies and gentlemen who were present are indebted to the enterprise of Mr Chas Chamber- 'lin. proprietor of the‘Graud Central, for the pleasure afforded. The followingzevening the troupe gzwe a concert; in Aurora, and the large hall Was well filled. Aurora people must either have a better appreciation ,of good music, than our villagers, or less reluctance in severing their connection with the indispensable “quarters.” williamson.seconded by Forster, moved tha't the sum of $125 be granted for the- improvement of the townline between whil- church and Markham in the Ist conr, also the Sum of $50 to be expended east of the‘ 3rdâ€"con.. providing that the commissioners deem it necessary to do so ; said commis- sioners to be the Reeve.

The Company did good work with it, throwing consider- ably over Moodie’s flag pole. which is some 60 feet in height, With only eight men on the brakes. There can be no doubt but that the Council made a good investment in the engine, and every per- son seems to be satisfied with it, except one or two who are subject to “chronic biliousness,” and cannot avoid making themselves ridiculous.

They took six first prizes for the following articles : Reaping: Machine, mowing machine, wrought beam plough, horse rake, gang plow, and vanety of ag. im- plements. The also took five second prizes, competing: against the leading manufactures of Canada. We are pleas- ed‘to see our home men able to make such a good exhibit, and to show that they need not fear competition, the ex- cellence of their workmanship being undoubted. TORONTO UNIVERSITY.â€"~The recent examination at this University was con- sidered an unusually hard one, and many were “plucked” worse than the average spring chicken, previous to its introduc- tion to the “serving up” process. It is pleasing to see, however, that the stu- dents from this village have been suc- cessful, and that one of them, Mr T H Redditt, a brother of Mr B Redditt, is admitted to the degree “Bachelor of Arts." Mr Redditt took first class hon- ors in Modern Languages. We hope this example will be followed by the young men who are attending the uni- versity and also those who are new study- ing for the entrance examination. Among the names of the students successful in passing the examination in Arts, in the second year, we noticed A F Teefy, son of Mr M Teefy ; and in the third year F Lawrence, son of Mr James Lawrence, all of this Village. “More power te yecs byes."
