The Globe is advocating the establish- ment of'a Court for the granting of divorces in Canada. It contends that if the rich are at liberty to appeal to Parliament for a. divOrce, there should be some means provided whereby people who cannot afford to do this could also secure justice, and the Globe is about rlght, too. It need not follow, as some of our contemporaries fear, that if divorces become cheap the morality of the people will be lowered. Many a marriage tie had much better be legally dissolved, than to continue the mere mockery that it now oftenris, and surely the many women who sufier through the cruelty of the brutes they call husbands, would be greatly bene- fitted if they could secure a divorce. If divorce cannot be procured for such crimes, let the lash be well applied. If men will act worse than brutes, surely they should be punished 1n the only way their feelings can be appealed to, by a severe flogging. The sooner cur laws are amended in this direction the better. Searcely a day goes by, but what the city papers, all over Canada, publish cases where men are tried for brutally beating their wives, and some men are known as "habitual wife- heaters” A fine or few days imprisonment is inflict- ed. and the man is again let loose to want his anger on the Udef'cneeless woman, who rarely has no redress, as the law lznow is. This man is bound to her un- til death intervenes, and life is nothing i but continual misery and wretchedness. In another column will be found a‘ full account of the proceedings in this village and Aurora on Dominion Day. The Presbyterians laid the corner stones of their new church, and with a tea and concert ,realized nearly $300 In Aurora the races were a 'grand sue-l vicess, the attendance each day being very large. Mr John Palmer was successful in bringing home 385 of the purses. . VICTORIA SQUARE. l The chief feature of the day’ s cele- brationjn this quiet and classic village was the corner stone laying of the new 1 C. M. Church. The attendance of people was large. The programme an- nounced in our issue last week was car- ried out. Mrs J F Metcalf,of Eglington, laid one stone in the usual manner, and Mr Ambrose Kent, of Toronto, laid the other. The customary ceremonies were performed, and the local and other papers, coins, etc', placed in the stones.

Dinner was served in exâ€" cellent style in Mr Stoutenburgh’s grove,to a very large number of persons; some estimate the crowd to be over 350. A few short but interesting speeches were made, and tea was afterwards served. A concert in the evening throught the day’s celebration to a close. A number of games and amusements were provided. The Unionville and Victoria Square Cricket Club had a match, and the Vices got decidedly the ;best of it THOI‘NHILL CATHOLIC PIC$NIC. As we anticipated, this was the lead- »‘ing attraction in Thornhill. The at- tendance was even much larger than was expected. as there was two other pieznics going on in the village. The beautiful grove, belonging to Mr Mc- Dougall, presented a very pleasing ap- pearance when festivities were fully unâ€" der weigh. This grove is one of the finest in the County. The amusements .provided in the shape of Croquet, swings, etc, were made good use of. An excellent dinner was prepared. The .competition in foot racing, jumping, etc, was keen. .In the evening over sixty .couple were present at the social enter- »tainment. Prof. Lubar, of Toronto, ,furnishcd music ofa very high order.

EVENING AS FOLLOWS tainments of various kinds, which were announced to take.place in the ne1gl1bor- ing villages, on Dominion Day, 1t was considered rather doubtful that our Presbyterian friends would have a very large attendance at the ceremony of laying the corner stones of their new church. But the members and friends made a grand rally for Richmond Hill, and the result was a very large attendâ€" ance The weather was pleasant, and every arrangement was made for going through with the ceremony without any delay or inconvenience. 'Jhere wasa commodious platform erected at the east end of the church, and a board roof protected the persons thereon from the rays of the sun. According to the pro- gramme, at 3 o’clock p in, sharp, the Rev Mr Campbell and the other persons who were to take part in the ceremony, were on hand, and proceedings were opened by smging Psalm .100.' The Rev. Mr Campbell, pastor of the Con- gregation, read this beautiful song of praise, and it was most pleasingly sung by the Choir and thevlarge audience. The Rev._l\'l'r. Dick followed by reading the 6th chapter of II Chronicles, where- in Solomon phaving blessed the people, blesseth God; and offers up praye1 in, the eonseelation of the temple. The Rev Mr Frazer, of Bond Head then oflcred up prayer. Mr R Marsh, chair- man ofthe Building Committee read the following scroll, which contained a history of the Richmond Hill Presby- teriaurChurch. This scroll, together with a list of the Trustees, Elders, etc, at the present time, and Building Com- mittee, and the Mail, Globe. Presby- terian, Herald. and Liberal, and a few of the current coins of the realm, were placed 1n :1 glass bottle and deposited 1n the stone. The Corner Stone Laying. AT THE NEW PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. HISTORY or THE RICHMOND HILL Pnnsny'mm- AN CHUItCH.-â€"-In attempting to write a. history of this congregation, I find it impossible to do so Without referring very briefly to the history of the Presbyterian Church at large. Presbyterian- ism took its rise in troublous times,~â€"a time when darkness covered the earth, and gross darkness covered the people ; n time when true Christian- ityexisted only in name ; a. time when men heâ€" gun to inquire Whether the teachings of the church were in accordance with the teachings of the Bible. Then the founders of the Presbyteri- an church united together, & by very closely and diligently searching the Scriptures they were enable to form a. system of Church overnment, that has since stood the test of centuries: ; a sys. tem void of pomp and ceremony, and one which does not appeal to the outward senses for its re- ligion, nor allow the traditions of men‘ to take the place of the lows of God, but in all eases has been guided by “Wth 'suith the Soriptures,’: ? From the time when John Knox, fearlessly preached against the prevailing sins of his. time. and caused the walls of error and superstition to crumble unto dust before the sound of a 3 ure Goa pol, until this resent day the Pro yterian Church has never acked men to hold upher bane ner, men who gglve the Gospel Trumpet no un- certain sound ; en who were ever ready and frequently called uyon to seal their testimony with their blood. And Whether the ! suffered persecution and martyrdom by the aggot and stake, or had their blood spilled upon the heath~ er ; or were driven from, home by a ‘felontleSs foe, and perished from cold and hunger,” on the bleak hill side ; or had their minds assailed. by the soul-destroying casuisty of the free 'thinker ; or had the finger of acorn pointed at their simple but Scriptural Ritual of worship by..the . self- rightoous Phariseo,â€"the Presbyterians as a body have ever been ready to give a reason; for the hope that was in them, their only and ever effec- tual appeal being to the Law and Testimony. The ministers of the Presbyterian church have ever been noted for their learning, and also for their piety and zeal, and such names as Knox, Calvin, Dodridge, Henderson, John Welsh, the lrskines, Boston, Gillespie, Phillip and Matthew Henry, Dr John Brown, lrvingflhalmers, Guthrie, Cooke and Hodge, and many others, which want of space compels me to omit hero, form a galaxy of noble-and illustrious men, such as no other Church can boast of. In Missionary work and enterprise, the Presby- terian Church stands forth preeminent as the pioneer of the Gospel to many. very manv of the dark corners of the world, and amongst those of her sons who having taken their lives in their hands, went forth to carry God’s preeiousWord to the henthenLivingston, Moflet, Guthrie ,Weddell, and Anderson, in South Africa. ; Duff, Wilson and Dr Miller in the East Indies , the Gordone & Geddie in the Pacific Islands ; Burne,Milne and Morrison, in China. ; and Black, Neebitt, Bryce and Robertson in the wilds of North America ; are names that shine forth with peculiar lustre in the missionary world. The above references are not made for the purpose of detracting from the noble work performed by other religious bodies, but for the purpose of calling the attenâ€" tion of I’resbyteriuns to the great work already accomplished by the church, and more, particul- arly to the still greater work that is yet before them in ossistingto trenaform the kingdoms of this world into n kingdom for the Lord ; and of the great necessity of being up and doing, and that we watch and pray that our cpndlestiek be not removed. Afterthis short digression,1 now come to the question before us, a question that resolves its- self into a few simple statements Amongst the early settlers of this neighborhood there were qu' e a number of Presbyterians who brought Wit them from their former homes, a. rever- ence for the Ordinances and Privileges of the Church to which they belonged, and as early as the year 1811 some steps 13de been taken to orâ€" ganize a. congregation. Not until the year _, 1817 however, was this object aobomplishej‘d, when the congregation was fully orgbmiz’ed by the ep- pointment and ordination of the late James Myles and Robert Marsh as Elders, 'under the guidance of the able Minister, the Rev William Jenkins, a men suited for the times in‘everywey, and one who called every sin by its proper name, strongly opposing error in every shape, wise in counsel, ever trying to lead his flock in the path of truth and uprightnoss. He dispensed the eucmment of the Lord‘s Supper for the first time to this congregation, in the open, air, in the primitive forest. _ able 9.st place of worship, it is still looked upon with considerable veneration by the elder mem- bers of the congregation. In 1834 the V session of the church was strengthened by the appoint- ment of the lute James Gilmour and James Heaslir as Elders. The church may be said to have enjoyed a fair share of prosperitv up to‘1843 when it sustained its first severe loss in the death of its minister, who had so long and faithfully served the great Master, as formerly mentioned. After the death of the Rev Wm. Jenkins, the con- gregation were without a minister for about two years, when u. call was given to the Rev \anter Scott, and accepted by him. He only retained charge for the space of three years, and the con- gregation in the meantime lost ground for want of cure and oversight. The harmony that had had heretofore existed in the church was also nearly destroyed, and the condition would have been much Worse. but for the entiring energy of the Elders, the late Robert Trench and the late Henry Stewart, of King, and a few others who did all in their power to keep the members to- gethor.‘ I11 the year 1821, the congregation. assisted by their neighbors, but more especially through the energy and libernhty of the above mentioned Elders, were enabled to build their first and only church, the one 111 which the congregation has wo1 shipped for the lest fifty- nine years. At; the time of its erection it Was the only church north of Toronto and amongst the first in the Province. Although it is n0§v old and eomeWhet 11]}00p1f01‘t- In 1849 the congregation gave a call to the Rev James Dick, (our late esteemed pastor,) who [LG- cepted and was inducted to the charge on the 14th (in) of March, 1845). James Jenkins, James Gilmnur and James Heaslip being Elders. To the Writer’s certain knowledge he did not accept the charge degending upon his own strength, but; inf/he strengt of him who is ull~powerfu11 end when about to come here tocommence ls labors if he did not use the words, he did the spirit of that prayer, “Lord, if than go not with me, take me not hence." As a, consequence, brighter days begun at once to dawn for the Church, and through the Pastor's labors, she began to length. en her cords and strengthen her stakes. In a few years he had formed a large and prosperous congregation on the second concession of the Township of King, and another in the village of Luskay, in the some township. The above conâ€" gregation soon became a separate chm-go, sue- teining their own Minister. During the long period of twenty-eight years, in which the Rev. Mr Dick hurl the oversight; of this congregation, he was IL faithful worker in theMastei"s vineyard lie ever had a kind word to the young. and a word of wuminq tn‘thoso in «longer oi strnyimz Owingz to the large number of enter- A Very Successful Event.

Messrs A Marsh and D Boyle, Members of the Building Committee presented Principal Caven and Dr Lang- staff with beautiful silver trowels, tastily engraved with the name of each recipient, and the date and occasion for which they were used. These gentlemen then laid the stones in the order named The Rev Dr Caven followed with pray~ or. The Rev H M Parsons Knox Church, Toronto, late of Bufi'alo; the Rev J Kirkpatrick, Cook’s Church, Toronto, late of New York, and the Rev Dr Caven, of Knox College, Toronto, addressed the audience for a short time. In the course of his reâ€" marks the Rev. Dr. spoke in the high- est terms of the sincere piety and zeal for the church always shown by the Pastor, the Rev Mr Campbell. Reâ€" ferring to his College course, the Rev. Dr. stated that he had displayed great abilities, and that the earnestness and ardour with which he attended to his duties While there, had beyond doubt, novsmall influence in eanbling him to attain the positions he subsequently filled, and to win the esteem and love of his congregations. The Rev. Dr. concluded by saying that he had always taken a particular interest in the career ofhis former pupil, and it was with great pleasure and'pride he had watched his course not only in college, but: after leavinrâ€"r it. .. Codiributions were then laid on the stones-rand collections were taken up. amounting :tp nearly $150. ' The Rev Isaac Campbell, our present minister, received a. un animous call, rmd was inducted to the charge of the congregation on the 30th day of April, 1877, and has now had the oversight for n. little over three years, during which time he has gained the esteem of the congregation! The membership is constantly increasing, and it is mainly through his energy and zeal that we have commenced to build a. new church. He has in every way proved himself thoroughl qualifi- ed for his work: _ Mav he 101131135 snare to gqin After singing Hymn 190, announced by the Rev Mr. Kirkpatrick, the beneâ€" diction was pronounced by the Rev. Principal Caven. Tea was then Served 1n the Masonic Hall, by the ladies of the congregation, and a large number of persons partook of the refreshments pxovided. The short and interesting speeches to which they had listened at the stone laying, seemed touaet as an appetizer, judging by the way in which the excellent spread was relished. The ladies of this church, however, always have a good turn out to an entertainment of thissort, This, no doubt, is owing,r to the neat and tasty manner in which they get up their delicious repasts. A musical and literary entertainment was held in the Hall, after tea. Mr Peter Patterson, M. P. P. occupied the chair. Brilliant addresses were deliver- ed by Revs. Prof .Cavcn, Kirkpatrick, Cook, Dick and Pickering. The adâ€" dresses were interspersed with choice selections of music Miss Brokovski, the talented and popular vocalist, of Toronto sang“ Mary of Dundee” and other selections In a peculiarly charming voice, and was loudly encored. Her responses were also warmly applauded. Many were loud in their praise of’her beautiful and finelyâ€"cultivated voice. Miss Newton read a'eomic selection, very fairly, but not with the ability she has displayed in finer selections, of a dramatic or pathetic nature. Miss 'Nicholls presided at the piano with her accustomed skill and proved a very eflicient accompanist. TRUSTEES. Messrs. F Mchnnghy, James Mc- Connell, Duncan McLean.

The track was in good condiâ€" tlon, and a number of excellent horses were entered. The first race was the COLT RACE, TROTTING This race was easily won by Daisy Dean in three straight heats. Black Prince showed a goba gait, and Plow Boy seemed able to trot nicely, but. did not appear to be urged. SUMMARY. The attendance on this day was verv large, as the most exciting races were billed to come off on Friday. The weather was cool,w_ith a slight sprinkling of rain every half" hour or so during the afternoon, but this did not prevent the races from going ahead. 2.35 CLAss,â€"~TnomNG. This race was easily won by Little Frank, or Old Governor, who took it in three straight heats. Little Frank trotted well, Uand it Was the opinion of every one present that he never made a better show; r'General Beamish made a fine burst of speed on the home stretch one heat, but be was too exhausted to- dojnstice to himself, having been driven from Alliston the night before. This was the finest rude in the two days. The horses were all well met, and hung together pretty closely during the seven heats which were necessary to decide the winner of'the first money. There was no time given. but outsiders caught the let heat in 2. 48 and the 7th heat at 2. 40 and May Dew took this race in three straight heats. Lady May for secdnd place held her pretty close. Kelly’s “ Patterson Boy” was very badly handled. He did good work, but the jockey did not know how to manage the animal. On the first heat he allowed the other horses to leave him standing alone at the line before he started. Tom should put his horse in better hands on the track,as he can strike a good clip. SUMMARY .

At first it was thought that the bay horse, Tom Burke, would have things his own way, but after cautioning the driver against ellowmg him to turn, the judges set him back from gfiret to third place twice, as it was quite apparent that he gained cousideiably in running. Della Wait did not come well to the front at that and the pool was rather in favor of the roan and bay 5'. but the fourth and fifth heats showed clear];1 that Della could make the pace too wmm for the others hefme night. On the sixth heat the black more, Victoria Maid, suddenly slid out from the crowd, and shot ahead to the lead, which she maintamed throughout the heat. :This more had taken fifth place in the previous five heats, and did‘not appear to have any show for first money, but after the exhthition she gave on the sixth heat her chances for first money improved greatly. As one of the horses met with an accident. and it was getting rather dark, the judges decided to postpone the race until 10 o’clock Saturday morning. Mile heat, 2 in 8.

Thé Black bolted on the secbnd quarter of the lst heat, broke down the' gate, and threw the jockey, Young Linton, over its head. No serious injury was done. In the second heat a heavier iockey was put up, and the Black was handicapped considerably. , ‘ _ SUMMARY. The attendance was very fair, but not near as large as on the two former days. All of the horses shor’ved up, most of them in good condition. In' spite of her heavy work on the previous day Della Wait apâ€" peared to be as fresh and keen as over. After considerable scoring they got away. The Black led slightly on the first quarter, and increased it a little when Della broke for a length or two. The bay broke near the quarter pole and passed the roan and Louise, but Della held her back, and kept close on the Black for second place. On the second quarter when nearingr the stand the Black broke badly, and fell back to last. place. Della took the front. having;r been at the Maid’s flank. and maintained this position until the end, in spite of the efforts of the bay and roan to wrest it from her. This closed the race and gave Della first money, the bay taking second, and the roan third. It seemed to be the general opinion that Della did the squarest work on the course, and won the race by her ability ‘in trotting, not as a runner. SUMMARY. THE NAMED RACE. Ned Haulan was fortunate on the start, and held his position right through, taking the race in three straight; heats. Palmer’s, chestnut colt, “Sallie Holman,” formerly called the McKay mare. made it. close work for Ned once or twice, but unfortunately b1oke badly, and fell behind. Sallie gets over the ground at. a very lively rate, and piomises to make a. gond trotter with practice. She took second money. Andrews’ c 5; Ned Hanltm ...... Palmvr s c m Sallie Holman.

Prices were rather low, good milk cows selling for between $25 and 8530, Peter Boynton. of Markham Township, had two fine-- lookingfat cows, and Frank Boynton had also two for sale. Our butchers invested in several animals. Pugsley bought six cows, two from Frank Boynton, one from McKenzie and another from Walker,one weighing 1100 lbs., and all good heef’ animals. There was very little sale for milch cows, only about three sold. Pugsley bought some fine lambs. There was only one city buyer present. NOT So.â€"In a notice last week of the death of Mr Stokes, of’ Newmarket, We mentioned that he was the father of the Warden of the County, and also of the County Engmeer. We are since in- formed that this is incorrect. The de- ceased gentleman was the father of the‘ Warden, but no relation of the County Engineer.‘ A Goon CHANCE.- Qome person sends us an extract from the Toronto Telegram stating that Mr Farr, of Yorkville, is willing to trot Yorkville Maid, against, Mr Palmer’s mare, Della Wait, for any purse up to $1000 a side, on Aurora or any other track. Mr Farr might have had a chance to trot his Maid against Della at the Aurora races. Many per- sons were anx10usly enquiring Why it was not there. The place was a pretty hot one, but. Della took lst money all the same in the 3 minute race, and was a trifle fat. too, for heavy work.
