f’f-HURSDAY. AUGUST 5, 1880. “A short time ago a young man, nam- ed Knill ,studying medicine at Stouffville had occasion to take some harmless drug. A few minutes after he felt rather strangely affected inwardly. and on examination saw that he had taken a dose of tincture of belladonna â€"a deadly poison. The position of the two bottleys had been changed, hence the mistake. Young Knillwas very much alarmed, naturally, and immediately hunted out an antidote in a medical work. He took a large dose of this remedy, and rushed for a doctor. ':By_tl_1e united efl'orts of Drs Wilson and Dcherty he was saved but it was a very close call for Knill He was delirious for some time, and the Doctors were doubtful if they could pull him through. He will, heicaf'tcr be veiy careful when taking 'ny little article in the (11113 llfll As will be seen by the telegraphic news in another column there is great Texeitement in England, and troops will be immediately sent out to crush these Afghans. They must be taught a lessâ€" een, although it hardly seems worth the while to waste British blood and treasure l'or such purposes. But it is feared India will be endangered if the Afghans are not thoroughly subdued and punish- ed. The whole business seems to par‘ take somewhatofa blunder, and the sooner Ayoub Khan and his tribes are wiped out of existence or subdued, and the English forces Withdraw, the better, There does not appear to be much to gain by holding the country, and ex- perience has shown that there are many valuable lives to lose. This Afghan warfare has pro-ven very unfortunate, for the British soldiers. In 1841 the- natives treacherously rose, after peace had been agreed to on both sides, and murdered Sir Alex Burns, Sir Wm McNaughton, and many other oflicers. In 1842, a- British force of 26,000 men women and children were treacherously waylaid in the mountain ‘passes, and only one man escaped the slaughter. During the present campaign Cavagnari and many brother oflicers and soldiers were murdered by these treach- erou‘s tribes, who have no respect for traces or treaties. They cringe and cower before the British army, but pro. mises are all forgotten when an oppor- tunity is presented to murder the enemy- _‘ ‘As we announced last week, the Bri- tish army in Afghanistan has 'met with a great reverse. This makes the third great loss which the British encountered in their efl'orts to manage, the afi'airs of the country, to suit their own interests- The attack was no doubt encouraged by the announcement that the troops had been recalled, and were about to leave the- country. Thc Afghans are ‘ a thoroughly treacherous race, and this :reverse was occasioned by their deser- tion. Abdurrahman Khan had been appointed Ameer, and was considered powerful and influential enough to hold his position, and make his authority re- spected. Shere Ali was appointed W'ali of Candahahand both are supposed to be true‘to'the British. Ayoub Khan is a son of the late Shore Ali and a brother onakoob, who was recently dethroned. Ayonb aspired to the Ameership, but .did not have influence enough. He col- dented his forces and advanced tbwards Uandahar. ‘ General Burrow s Brigade, composed of Horse Artillery “I” &‘ B” company of Sappers, 6 companies of 66, ten Squadrons Scinde Horse, one regi- ment of Bombay Cavalry, and 1st and 13th Native Infantry, was ordered to assist Shere Ali. When marching against Ayoub, Shore Ali’s infantry deseited in a bedy General Burrows pursued them ‘and recovered the _ guns and waggons which they had carried ofi‘. He‘ had a force consisting of about 2.700 men, .and Ayoub had over 12,000 men and 36 guns" well served. 'AyOub attacked Burrows and defeated him with great: loss. Ilis forces were dispersed and compelled to fly, being pursued three miles. . ' EIflH'MflND :HILL ‘PBST ‘ DPFIEE Going South, West and East, includ- ing Maple, Thornhill. Toronto.

The weather is very fine, ‘with the exception of a few ‘ showers, which have slightly discolored some of the’barley. There is not much scarcity of hands, and wages are fair. The Oat crop is ripening slowly, and it will be both large and of an excellent quality. At 40c per bushel, this is be- coming one of the most important crops. Our Grit friends, however, say that the N. P. is ruining our farmers, but are they not a little funny, if consistent. ? They say that coal is raised $2 per ton, and yet there is only 500 duty ; sugar .of an inferior quality, 20 per lb ; cotton, 20 per yd. STABBED WITH A Prrcurorzmâ€"In getting down out of a hay mow, Mrs A Mofi’att, of this village, had the misfortune to slide on a pirchfork, which was covered over wirh hay, driving the prong of the fork In the sol e of the foot, and passing upwards, near- ly to the ankle It required all her strength to withdraw the fork, and a very ugly and dangerous wound was the result. Dr Wid- difield was summoned, and dressed the wound. which is progressing as favorably as can be expected. DuowxEn.â€"Mr Frederick W Northcote, a young: man formerly in the store of Messrs Danford Roche & Co, of this village, was drowned while out boatmg with some com- panions near Manitowaning, on Friday last. They were picked up by a passing boat but Nor-theme succumbed to exhaustion.

From the Reformer On Wednesday 28th ult. Mr Wm Cross, residing near the English Church Cemetery was found dead in his house. lt was not necessary to hold an inquest. Decals?! had been drinking hard for sometime bac . The floor oflbe room in which he was, was stained with Paris Green, and a cup CODllllIlng a solution of the poison and water, stood near by, showmg too plainly how the unfortunateman came to hisdeath. Deceased is well connected. and has a brother who holds a high position in a town in England. He was a. brother of Dr Cross, formerly of Newmarket. He was a good aardner, and when not under the in- fluence of liquor, an intelligent, and well- bred man. We lookvfor a visfis from the Agrlculâ€" tural Commission when we may get light on these subjects. Now supposing a farmer to use 200 lbs of' sugar (at very moderate supply,) to say nothing of money for refining ; the same farmer to sell 500 bush of oats, Chicago prices 230, Toronto, 400, and we think that he might risk this kind of min for a little while. Would it have the same efi‘ect to put a. high duty on the pea-bug, or midge . The Voter’s List for the village of Richmond Hill for the year 1880, is ready for distribution. We have seen jobs in printing turned out by amateurs, and What are called “blacksmiths,” but the Voters’ List, this'year, surpasses all the batches we -_ever saw. It is badly~ printed, indistinct, blotted, crooked, with the type onioneâ€"half of a page cutting through the paper, and on the next page hardly enough impression to make the print legible. No person with the faintest conception of good printing, would be guilty ofiturning out such a disgraceful job. The paper on which it is printed is of the very poorest quality. . There is a. margin on some pages of about a sixteenth part of an inch, while others have an; inch anda quarter, and some have none, whatever. A number of names are also incorrectly spelled, and there are numerous typographical errors not specified. The job is one, which we hesitate not to say, neither of our druggists,’ who do their own printing, would turn out. One of them, with :1 Gordon press, has frequently displayed far better workmanship. The whole job is simply a disgrace to the otfice where printed,and to the village for which it is printed. It is the worst piece of work that the corporation ever paid for yet, and theCouncil would only be acting right 1n throwing it back on the printer’s hands, to be done over in a workmanlike manner, if such is possible. We have no hesitation in saying that a two-year apprentice in this office could turn out a better job, and that any hand who did such miserable work in this office would be sacked before the ink was dry on the paper. Prof Amos is foreman (‘2) in the office where the Voters’ List was printed. LONDON, Aug 1.-â€"~Mr Puleston gave a dinner on Friday at the Conservative Club to Sir John A Macdonald. There were thirty guestsjncluding Lord Elchn, Mr. Smith, late First Lord of the Ad- miralty, Slr Charles Tupper. Sir James Hogg, President of the Metropolitan Board of Works, Dr Lyon Playfair, Mr Rylands, Mr Courtney, and many other members of Parliament and distinguish- ed Canadian and Colonial officials. Speeches were made by Mr Puleston, Lord Elcho, SirJohn Macdonald, Messrs Cameron and Dickey. Sir John Macâ€" donald aflirmed in the strongest terms Canadian loyalty and determination to maintain connection with Great Britain, testifying to- the uniform support receiv- ed from the British Government ir» respective of the party in power, and asserting‘the popularity of the Marquis of Lorne and Princess Louiise among all classes of Canadians. Mr Caron, a French Canadian member of the House, confirmed on .behalf' of the French Canadians their devotion to the Crown. Mr Smith and Dr Playfair responded heartily to the Canadians.

For the past two months farmers residing in East and West York, have been sys- tematically plundered by sheep stealers, who almost openly defied capture. The depredations became so extensive that the farmers at last formed a vigilance com- mittee, and the members each took their turns in patrolling the roads, armed with guns and clubs. About three weeks ago several members ofthe committee caught eioht of the thieves 1n the vety act of mesh inv sheep from a. f’armer s vard. ’lhe thieves had th1own thtee sheep into their covered waggon, when they saw the farmers. and an exciting chase ensued which terminated by the th1eves escaping with the sheep. Two weeks ago, the Toronto authorities \vete notified of the acts of these desperâ€" adoes, aud Detective Newhall himself, set to work to ferrit out the thieves By pay- ing a couple of vis1ts to the neighborhood he “spotted" his men, and on Thursday evening last, be. accompanied by Detectives Brown and IIodgins, proceeded westward. They esconscd themselves in the bush near the corner ot‘lJloor and Dufferin streets, and after remaining hidden about an hour, they saw thelr men driving up in a green painted, covered wagon, to the door of a rough-cast house near the corner. The de- tectives waited until the men had seated themselves at supper, and then while New- hall entered by the front door, Brown and Hodgms rushed in at the baclr, and before the alleged sheep stealers could make a movement, they found the hand-cuffs en- circling their wrists. They were brought into the city, lodged in the police station, and the detectives again visited the scene ofthe arrest. Wh1le they were proceed~ ing up Niagara street, at about eleven 0 ’cloclt, they noticed two men dtiving fu1iously past them; by a dexterous move- ment Newhall grasped the horse’s head, while Hodgins leaped into the wagon and secured Alfred Reeve; who was also susâ€" pected. The names of the other palties arrested are George Wilson, Kenyson, Sp1ing, Thomas Foster and John Spring. Weights and Measures Inâ€" spectors, and Exalsemen. - While the detectives were watching the house, they saw a man gallop away on horseback, and return half an hour later, appearing to be very much excited, It turned out afterwards that; had the detec- tives delayed action for about ten minutes. the alleged thieves would have disappeared, as it, is stated that a city butcher on whom the detectives had called for information had given them a “tip.” They were brought before the Magistrates on Friday morning, charged with stealing sheep from Matthew Allen, Unionville, but no evidence was taken they being remanded till W’ed- nesday, and bail being refused.

Goodyear made a great imprOVement on Mill and adjoining streets. The job is well worth the money. Several persons left here on Wednes« day morning to witness the amakeur Boat Races at Toronto. WANTS FIXING.â€"â€"The Inspectors at- tention is directed to a culvert- at the foot of' Boyle’s hill on Vaughan Street. The ditch requires cleaning out, as the water is backed on to Mr Powell’s land, and damages his crops to a considerable extent. FISHING MATCH.â€"The fishing match announced in our last issue, to take place on Bond’s Lake, on Tuesday last, was contested by Messrs Duncunqb and Bell. Mr Duncumb caught four pounds of fine-looking bass, and Mr Bell caught One-half a pound. The match was then adjourned until “Wednesday, 18th inst. The hum of the Threshing Machine is heard in the land, and the newspaper men have sharpened their pencils in order to jot down everything from “an arm torn or hand mangled, to a whole body drawn through the machine.” Lackic is kept busy filling his orders.

HIESE & LET 6N LUEAZ STREET, RICHMOND HIEL. FOR SALE, CHEAP I DEAR Sin.â€"â€"The present location of the County Buildings, for the County of York, in Toronto, is admirably situated. con! venient to all the railway stations, markets, and t'armers' inns. where they get their“ meals, and stable their teams. Then why select a srte for new buildings in some disd tant part of the city, on the puerile imagim ary plea’ of economy. It is strange'that the citizens of the County of York, d0' not anticipate the serious loss of time, trouble and inconvenience they will sustain' by thus changing the site. If the many thousands of jurymen,witnesses and suitors,» who are daily for days and Weeks together, obliged to attend the different courts, and also the many others, havrng business to transact with the various County officials,- could only realize the intolerable nuisance‘ of daily travelling from a distant Court House, to their meals at their regular lodging Houses where they put up their teams, they would‘at once protest against so pennywise and poundfoolrsh a proâ€"' ceeding, inflicting so grievous a wrong upon so many thousands of citizens annuath.‘ ly, during the residue oft’heir lives. I feel: confident that when our County Councillors give the matter full consideration they will’ see the propriety of retaining the present! site for our County Buildings.
