"V" In questions of this kind it is not always wise to press what are considered harsh, sumptuary, or prohibitory laws upon the people, before public opinion thoroughly endorses such While ' one will deny that many thousands of persons would be benefittcd if there was no such a thing as ,intoxicatinlg liquor 1n the count1y, it does not follow that a prohibitory law would bring about snchastate‘ofafl’airs. The friends of temperance must be content to hasten slowly. They have made a wonderful change for the better in public opinion and habits 1n the last twentyâ€" five years. It may be that the same or even a larger quantity of liquor 1s d1unk now, but the use ofit 18 not abused to nearly the same extent as it was even a few years ago. A proper license system, regulated and controlled in the interests of respectable and orderly houses and against those of a rough or disordei'aly character, seems to be a much better aider and abettor of the temperance cause, than harsh and hasti- ly prepared prohibrtory laws; Intempente indulgence in intoxicat- ing liquors, is undoubtedly a great evil, but it is an evil which is on the ane. Every’intelligent observer can vouch for this from the scenes presented before eren his limited View. This question came up at the Panâ€"Presbyterian Coun- eiI,"hE:1d at Philadelphia, and the Hon. W C Dodge read a paper urging the Presbyterian Church, as a body, to so endeavor to'afl‘ect public opinion that granting of liquor licenses would eventu- ally be considered as licenses fot gamblâ€" ing houses the sale of lottery tickets and disreputable houses If this ever takes place, i it will indeed denote a radical change in popular Opinion and Mr Dodge 15 confident that the power to‘do it is in the hands of the church. He cluims that the license system is the greet obstacle in the way of the friends of temperance, as it gives a legal reâ€" spectsbility to the tra-fiic, making open a temptation, which but for license would “ hidden out of sight :1. :11 illegal busâ€"« inoss.

MARKHAM, Oct. 9.--The East Rid- ing of York and Markham Agricultural Society’s Fall Fair was held at Markâ€" ham Village, on Thursday and Friday, Oct. 7th and 8th. The weather was beautiful,and an immense number of people, about 7,000, were on the grounds. The receipts from the turnstiles on Fri- day were $1,880. The show of horses was the greatest in number and best ever seen in the riding. The cattle were very good, but not up gto former years. Sheep, pigs and poultry were largely represented, and considered by the judges t0 be excellent in their respective classes.‘ Richmond Hill Prize Takers, Theâ€" Council now have this question to consIder, “Whether it is for the best interest of the village to sink water tanks and allow them to remain without any water.” If they answer that it is not, the next question is. "Whether they would serve the interests of the ratepay- ers better by luring a man and team at about $3 a day, to fill the tanks, or come to some arrangement with the cap- tain of the Fire Brigade, and get the work done much cheaper.” There are two water tanks in the vil- lage that require filling with water, as they cannot be filled in the ordinary way, from the eves of houses, or by surâ€" face water. They are situated on high [ground, and there are no houses adjoin- ing them. The tanks are of no use un- less filled with water. In fact the Coun- cil have only thrown the money away, unless they provide some means of havâ€" , i112: them filled. At the meeting of the lcouncil on Tuesday evening, Conn Red ditt called the attention of the Councilâ€" lors to this, and the Reeve agreed with him that some action should be taken in the matter. Nothing however was done and there was no reason given for this. The duty ‘of the Council is plain in this matter, and it will be just as clear, and ‘no clearer, at the next meeting on the 25th inst. What purpose the tanks are 1 serving in their present condition would be very difficult to ascertain. It would , be just as well for the Council to decide about filling tanks before any more are i sunk, or at least instruct the Committee ‘to only sink them where they will fill ‘without assistance. The two tanks re- ferred to are well placed in case of fire occurring in the nearest houses, but it would be better to have them some-- where else, if they cannot be filled where they are. The Fire Brigade partly fill- ed one a few evenings since, but they consider filling tanks outside of their regular duties. Seeing that their ser- vices arc voluntarily and without charge, we are inclined to accept their view of the matter. These tanks hold considerable water, and it is no easy work to fill one, especially when the old engine has to be used to fill the new one as was the case a few nights ago, there not being sufficient hose to fill with the new engine alone. The men have gener- ally turned out well to practice, and the hose men have been out several times in the last month. They do not ask for any remuneration for this, and are willing to give time and labor for the benefita of the corporation for nothing. Terrible ’ State of Ireland. AT THE BRADFORD FALL FAIR.

The LIBERAL ought to know that there are some members of our club who have heretofore patronized him occasronally, and he should not be so eager to publish untrue and disparaging remarks about them. He was in no hurry to print the Patterson score, but in this instance he rashly tries to force the officers ofthe club to give him the score. or he will censure them in his paper. To put the thing mildly, he has acted very unwisely, and will not do his business any good by such locals. In fact 1 lmppeh to know thatit would have paid him much better to have kept his ideas on scores, etc., in his mind. Yours &c., Sunâ€"The Editor ofthe LIBERAL in re- ferring: to the Cricket Match recently play- ed at Victoria Square. makes some unjust insinuations against the club in this village, and his assumptions are entirely incorrect. There is no cause or reason why he should think that he was refused the score, because the person having it differed w1th him on political questions It is not true that. there was any favor shown 10 the HERALD, neither paper having been supplied with a copy ofthe score. The reporters for the HERALD did not get anv more information from the officers of the club about the match than would have been given to the LIBERAL, if such had been solicited. The report given in the HERALD only showed greater enterprise in securing news than the LIBERAL. Mr R Bell, of Bond’s Lake, was inâ€" sured in the Manufacturers’ and Merâ€" chants Mutual Insurance Co. of Hamil- ton, and was, since the failure of the concern, sued for the amount of a preâ€" mium note. He paid the claim rather than go to the expense of disputing _ it. Some time afterwards, acting on the ad- vice of Mr C. C. Robinson, of Aurora, his solicitor, he moved for a new trial. The application was successful, and last Monday he received a notice that the suit had been withdrawn-by the Comâ€" pany, and that he would 'be refunded his money by the Clerk of the Court. At the Law Student’s games in Torâ€" onto, Thom Eek won a gold medal Clarence Smith of Walkerton, wants to match him for $25, for a five mile heel and toe walking match, and Tom is willing.

Mr. Hugh McLean, a brother of Duncan, of this village, left Mr A Marsh’s, where he is employed. to come up to the village. The night was dark, windy and the rain wus falling. Mr McLean had an umbrella in front of him, and therefore could not. see ahead. When opposite Mr T Palmer’s a passingr vehicle came rather too close, and ihe was knocked down by the shaft of the bugg . The shaft struck lnm in the ribs, seriously bruising them. He was unable to rise for a few minutes, and when he got on his feet, found it. very painful to walk. The man riding in the buggy was requested to turn around and give him a ride to the village, but he refused, although Mr Mc-y Leah’s request was eagerly seconded by a. young Indy who accompanied the stranger with the rig. He drove off south furiously, and the injured man was forced to wall; to his brother’s house on Centre street, east. Dr Langstafi' was called in, and the injuries attended to. McLean was obliged to keep his bed for some days, but on Wednesday ‘ last was able to walk down to Mr Marsh’s. It will be some time'yet before be thorough- ly recovers from the effects of the injury. 'The Doctor was of the Opinion that had the shaft struck him an inch or two either side of where it did, the blow would have resulted fatally. Mr McLean is an elderly man, a widower, with two children. The mean and cowardly conduct of the man who drove the horse, cannot be too strong- ly condemned. Knocked Down by a Home. BAND Cowmanâ€"The Richmond Hill Band intend giving a grand conâ€" cert in the Masonic Hall,on the evenâ€""- ing of Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 3rd. They intend having a number of excell- ent singers, a lady from Hamilton, and one or two noted vocalists from Toronto The intention is to have a concert which ‘will take the lead of any held in the vil- lage heretofore. The Band committee expect a very large audience, and they have good reason to, aside from the merit of the programme. There is no organization in the village, more deserv- ing of' encouragement and assistance,and which receives less, except it be the Fire Company. All will admit that our Band is now a credit to the village, and that band music sounds very pleasant during the summer evenings. In order then to show that the Band is appreciat- ed, if no other reason, they deserve a good hall. But we expect the proâ€"- gramme will be sufficiently attractive to draw a large audience. Bills with par- ticulars will be issued in a few days. APPLES FOR EN'GLAND.â€"Mr O Dun- cumb is going into the appleshippiug business.

There is a great many thousand banels of apples shipped from Canada to England yearly, and good profits are realized by shrewd and careful dealers. Mr Dun- eumb intends to ship the apples in a few weeks. This will be the third year he has handled this kind of fruit, and he has been very successful. r LEGALâ€"In ourmdvertising columns will be found the card ol" Mr Wm Best, Barrister, etc., Toronto.

When the boy did not return home, it was thought he had run away, and no further attention was paid to him. The following Friday, Mr Thos Banting had occasion to pass through the field into which the lad had been sent, and found him lying in a couched up position, with one hand unâ€" der his head, totally unable to move. In this position he had rcmained since Tuesday, without food or water. He was suflering from a cut in the head, from which the blood had flown profusi- vely. On the opposite side of the head, and immediately encircling the bloodâ€" stained portions of the face, were masses of insects. The boy wan immediately removed to the house and medical aid summoned. He is now progressing favorably. There was some dlscussion as to how two water tanks should be filled. On motion the Council adjourned.
