Garfield’s career is full of encourage- ment to young men, It is nonsense, however, to suppose that every young man who distinguishes himself at school, “will ever figure prominently in this world's great field of battle. Many ~apromising farmers, mechanics, and good citizens in other walks of life have been spoiled by young men fancvtng that they could make a name in the world,â€"leave their career chalked on the face of a century, &c. This is not the fault of 100 much education, as some say, but rather education in the wrong direction. Tli’ere is no denying the fact that of the thousands of young men whose hearts now beat with the thought of future greatness, and whose heads now swell with the fond predictions of fame beâ€" stowed upon them by proud and Miceâ€" tionnte friends and parents, not half-aâ€" dogen, will ever become known or their influence felt beyond :t small circle, and probably not one will ever rise to such a pinnacle, as to hand down a famous and brilliant name to posterity. The knowâ€" ledge that such is the case should not discourage young men. There are many honored and useful positions which they‘ may fill with better advantage to themâ€"‘ selves and the world. Garfield’s success: should encourage the cultivation of: talents, and the desire to live a goodl and useful life in whatever position al person may be placed by circumstances, ”out not the fond and foolish hope that great and eminent men. as yet unfledged, are lying around by the dozen in the various schools in the country. We can not all be the leading men of the nation. Let us learn that We can fill honorable: stations in life, and do our duty to God and man, it' we never rise to the level of a Carlyle, Emerson, Spencer, Long- fellow. or eveua Garfield. l ACCIDENTâ€"While a number of persons were engaged sawing wood with a horse- power b‘awing Machine, on the farm of Mr. Kitely, 3rd Con. of'East Gwillimâ€" bury, last week, the horses attached to the machine became frightened at the whistle of a passing engine and train of cars, and travelled with such speed as to smash things up generally. The saw was broken in piecesâ€"â€"and one piece thereof, about 18 inches 10m:r flew up and struck MLJ. A. Collins in the stomachfmjuring him so seriously as to compel him to quit work for a day or‘ two. We are glad to learn he . is all‘ riv‘rht noninphui it was a. arrow escapel .u ,‘ur l Mark Hopkins, President ef' Williams Unlversity, took an interest in young Garfield and he graduated from that university with high honors. After occupying the position of Latin and Greek Professor he was. sent to the State Senate. When the war broke out :he enlisted, was appointed Colonel, and soon became a Major-General. After the war he was sent to Congress. Since then he has been one of the leaders of the Republican party. The only stain which his enemies can find on his name Is that of' being interested in the Credit Mobilier and De Golyer contract frauds. 'But many of his associates still believe that. he did not act dishonorably in these matters. President Garfield entered on the 'duties of his office on the 4th inst, and 40,000 mothers of the Great Republic will now Garfield their infant boys, and probably call their little girls Garfielda, although girls, as a general thing, are not so liable to have this kind of a racket sprung on them as their infant relatives of the sterner sex. The posiâ€" tion which Garfield has reached by his talents, and the assistance and encourage mcnt of friends is one reflecting great honor upon the nation he now represents. Garfield commenced life as a. poor boy, he with one brother and two sisters, being left when two years old to the care ofa widowed mother, whose whole possessions consisted of a few acres of 7]andâ€" some eighty-niueâ€"and a log home. After working around amongst his neighbors for some years, he tried \carpentering. By studying at home, working for a while and attending school he got sufiicient educatlon to enter a college, paving his fees by bell-ringing, tending fires and sweeping. Those kind of boys can not be kept down. A boy with ordinary intellectual abilities, possessing very little besides perseverâ€" ance of this kind will outstrip in the race of'life many clever, brilliant young men. who have wealth, influence and position at their back, but lack push aud_do_gged energy.

Whole No. 1186; MORNING GARFIELD. EVENING AS FOLLOWS Volume 23 7:30 Mr,Dun0an inquired if the village had power to act in this matter, without the consent of the outsiders. Mr Marsh thought they had. Mr Tect’y agreed with him. Mr Marsh said this question of school accommodation was one of vital interest to both'scliools and the people of the village and neighborhood. It was not only a question of High School but also of Public Schools. He would like to see both schools prosper. Tearing down the old buildings might be the best means of providing accommodations, but there was another matter of more imâ€" ‘portance that he wished to direct their attention to. The outsiders pay one ’half‘ of the expenses ofrunning the Pub- lic Schools, and they only furnish one- ; sixth of the pupils attending the schools, 1 or in other words they pay for the teach- ing of three pupils in order to get one taught. They had the remedy in their own hands, but they did not wish to withdraw from the union, it' the village would deal fairly with them. Markham had divided her share of the Clergy Re- serve Fund amongst the Schbols, and this school got its share. The money required for Public Schools had been levied on the whole section, and any balance left ever given to the village Treasurer, instead of the School Treas- urer. This should not be, even if the sum was a small one. The balancel should be deducted from the amount necessary to be raised yearly, insteadJ of doing so the village was using this money for private purposes, and the portion outside was deprived of it. If the outsiders separated they could run a school for far less expense. Their share of the property in the village would build a school in the township sufficient for their use. If the village wished to retain the outside portion of the Section, and expected their assistance in building. it must do- the fair thing. They did not wish to leave, but it'the village was not prepared .to meet them in justice they were prepared to leave. He wished this to be distinctly understood, and it the outsiders did leave, the village would still require the same teachers and accommodation that it does now. All ratepayers outside were willing to remain iftrented fairly, but they are not if things remain on the present footing. He did not think increased accommodation for the High School should be considereda burden. Every pupil from entaide brought money to the village, no pupifl bringing less than $200. If only five pupils attended the High School this meant $1000 a year, for the village, from outsiders. This adds to] the circulating: ii'redinm, and " US the; 1‘} prospt‘i' of the plat L Mr R Mhrsh thought the fact of a proper union being formed, made this tb§»joi_nt property of the Board- Mr John Duncan inquired whethel it would not open the way for litigation if the Public School grounds were used for High School Buildings. Mr Teefy thought the legality of' High School possession all right, as there wasa formal union between the two schools, and both were interested. Mr M Teefy said the High School district was confined to the village, and any additional expense must be met by the village alone. But the public School Section includes part of Markham and Vaughan, and if Public School accom- modation is discussed, the genilemen from outside ofvthe village are entitled to speak. He agreed with Mr Brown’s idea, as it was the most economical. The village could not aflord to go into extenswe buildings, and the better way would be to pull down the western build- ings, and erect schools further west. The ratepayers have really nothing to say as to whether the buildings will be erected or not. The trustees have full power to build if they think it necessary to do so. This meeting is only called to get the opinion of the ratepayers as to the best course to pursue, and en-- deavor to act in accordance with the wish of the ratepayers as far as possible. The Chairman said it was quite plain something had to be done. The trustees had been notified time and again that the accommodation was not suflicieut. He would let the High School Building remain, pull down the old wooden and low brick schools, and build public schools further west. This would let a current of‘air through betweenthe differ- ent schools, and make them more healthy and better every way. If it should be necessary to build for the High School there would be suflicient ground west of the present building. If a new site for a High School was purchased it would cost at least $1000. Nothing short of an acre would do. Mr Trench explained that the resolu- tion was so worded in order to induce the ratepayers of the village to take an interest in the matter. The meeting was called for the purpose of hearing the opinion of the rate- payers as to how more school no- commodation should be provided. There has been some talk of the outsiders, (15.6. the ratepayers in Markham Township, outside of the village School Section, who form part of the Union Sectiou,) leaving the Section. and forming them- selves into an independent School Sec-- tion.‘ They thought they were paying more than their share to the support of the schools. Some action must be taken ‘ immediately. The matter will soon come before the Council, and will have to be attended to. New Schools must be built. l Resolved: That the proposition of selling the High School Building to the Public School be laid‘be'fo-re a meeting of the ralepavere, called by the Reeve. The attendance was very fair, the proâ€" perty-holdere in the village and section hemp: well represented. At 8 o’clock, the Reeve, Mr Wm Trench, explained the object of the meeting. "The chairman thought the resolution did not give very large ground for disâ€" cussion. On motion of Mr Trench, seconded by Mr B Redditt Mr John Brown was appgrinted Chairman. In accordance with the following re-- solution passed at the last meeting of the School Board a meeting ofthe rate- payers Wns held in the Lorne Hall on Fiida',’ evening last.â€" MEETING OF RATEPAYERS. WHAT THE PEOPLE THINK. ' NEW SCHOOLS. Mr Duncumb sand he had it from 'good authority 11mm we had the best common schools norlh of'i oronto. He would not advocate building a new High School. but was in favor of‘exlendmg the present build- ings, it necessary. fill-’l‘xhn'slisaid unless more: a<zcommo~ datiog was furnished the High Sc VMr W Pugsle} wished to know if'we were compelled to fumish more High Scool ac» commndzuion Mr Crosby said Markham had cause for complaint. They have paid over all their 1 fund and received no benefit from Vaughan 1and last. year none from the village. They have just cause for complaint. not only against this village. but also against Vaugh- an. The Inspector has been insisting on Richmond Hill having four teachers, but Newmarhet with a school population of 474. has only five teachers, while Aurora with a school poyulation of 395 has only {our teachers. 'l'he’totul school population of Richmond Hill is only 261. This seems a little hardâ€"a little unfair. Holl- and Landing has a school population of 176, and two teachers. The Inspector seems to be a. little stricter with Richmond Hill than any other place. If we require four teachers Aurora should have six. ()ur averageZatteudance is a little larger, but not enough to make us have as many teach- ers as Aurora. If we sold the High School building it would probably bring $3,000. A new site could not be secured for less than $2,000, for an acre of land on Yonge Street. A suitable building would cost at least $5,000, if not more. This would leave a balance of $4,000 to be raised by the ratepayers. It would also be necessary to have another teacher at a. salary of about $400 ayear. The grant would probably be $100, leaving;r with $300 of interest on our debt, about $700 to be raised annually. These matters cannot be too seriously and thoroughly considered, before we launch out into building. Mr Crosby suid Ibe Board received about $4 or$5 from Markham, principal and in~ tel-est. The amounlis getting less every year. Mr Duncumb considered the question a very important one. It would prove n heavy tax to build new schools, and dis-- pose ofihe old one, nnd. he Wus decidedly opposed to increasing the taxes. It would be preferable to build on the old ground. We might hnve to spend eight or nine thousand dollars for a new school. The money invested in the fire engine was well spent. It was as much needed us a new school, and he thought the ratepayers were as willing to havu good fire protection as to erect new School houses. Mr Teefy said $1100 of our Clergy Re» serve Fund had been invested in a fire engine, and [he interest, on the fund would be vely much less in future. He asked Mr Cr oeby, the school Treasurer, how much Markham paid last year of the Clergy Reserve Fund. Mr 'leef'y lead the tax bill snowing that such was the case. Mr Duncan said Markham had paid in its share of the Fund, and was now almost bankrupt. and Vaughan and Richmond Hill were withholding their grants. Mr Mmsh said Markham had paid in full amount of her Clergy Reserve Fund as she received it, and was now left out in the odd. Their cause of compiaint was a just one. ‘I I! n Mr McConaghy sslxid oulsidersdhud {QC-av- ed a fare share in ’79, and produced a villa age tax bill for }h§at year». W Mr Teefy stated that there were 2 funds upon which interest accrued. The Surplus Distribution Fund was received direct from Government. The Municipnlities Fund we received from Vaughan at the time of Int-- corporation. The Council can vote this fund annually. The Distribution Fund must be voted by By-law We applied it, to village purposes because Vaughan applied theirs to their own purposes, and did not put it. into the general fund. For the year ’79 there was a balance of the interest on our Clergy Reserve Fund left of $86.28, which was applied to Schools for 1880. The reason why the sum levied on the vill- age in l880 for schools was reduced so much was because the Council did not apply the balance in ’79, - Mr Marsh said he was quite willing to accept the Treasurer’s statement regnrding the balance But the real question was, does the village want the outside to pay for three pupils in oxderto get one educated The outsiders are willing to pay {or two. but not three. Regarding the Clergy Re» serve Fund, the outside was not fairly dealt with. When the village receives full bene- fit of Markhnm’s share of their fund, it should hand over the interest On its fund for the benefit of the schools. If the out-- elders left the union, they would want a fair and just proportion of the value of the school buildings, to help to build their school house. Mr Teefy explained that the village tax bills stated that so much money was requir- ed for school purposes. from that was de- ducted amount on hand. leaving the balance to be collected. The account this year shows the total nmount. received $110l.87 ; paid to School Treasurer $l100. leaving a. balance to School Board of $1.87. Pro-- vious to last year the balance in his hands always Came to credit of gross amount re- quired. and the Board got the benefit of it. Mr Marsh thougthe only increased ex- penditure would be for a new site for the High School. He did not, advocate selling this building. The ratepayers could do as lhey pleased regarding that, but they must take into serious consideration how they mean to treat outsiders. For the year pre- vious he did not notice any balance being given 10 the School Board. Mr Tcefy wished to make an explanation regarding the levying of the school tax, or the meeting might think that the village had been defrauding the outsiders, which certainly was not the case. Until ’79 it had been his duty to levy for any amount. required, and any balance Went to the credit of the Section. The Legislature made an alteration, and in ’80 each Clerk lened for the amount required. There was $l0,94 to the credit of Union School Section for the year previous. When making known to the Clerks the amount required, he did not strike” olfthe proportion, but they would be given credit for it. Previous to the change they got the full benefit of any balance left over. If the High School Board sold the buildings for two or three thousand dollarsI the village would have to pay onehalf, and we would only be selling to ourselves. It is not necessary to increase the expenditure, if we erect buildings on the oldiground . interested in building up the village, and if the High School was allowed to stand still, the. progress of the place would be hindered. Some twenty-two pupils had been driven away to other schools. in the last two years, for want of accommodation. Arrangements should be made to meet the wants of every one. New Buildings can be as easily erected here as in Markham and Newmarket. lfthe High School was sold to the Public School it. would bring $3000 to commence with, and the balance could be spread overs. number of years. He knew for a fact that the Model School would have been placed here, if better ac- commodation had been provided. Instead of a High School we . would have had a Collegiate Institute. He-earnestly advised the village not. to wait until‘it is too late, and some other place takes sway its oppor~ tunities. It rested with the Council and Trustees whether the union would still exist.

The Concert held at Laskay, in con-- nection with the Teston, B. B ,was fair- ly attended. It Is admitted to have been the best. concert given in Laskay, and onh the price of admission. Mr Trench stated that Mr John Palmer was willing to remove the fence between lhe fair ground and the school ground making it all one piece. e He thounhl this would be much better. ' Mr Murth said-(he would place a proposal in the hands of_the Council similar to that which he made to the meeting, and he Ihoughta majority of the ratepayers inter- ested would agree with him. Mr Teefy said that the pupils did not use th‘f.‘=’“9}md they had M prjesent. There was some discussiori regarding Mr Arnold’s offer. ' Mr Trench wanted to know ier Marsh’s proposition (:0qu be made binding (or five or ten years, or ifthe outsiders would be at liberty to leave whenever they took the notion. He understood that Mr Malsh represented the views of the outsideis. >Mr ’l‘eefy thought. the oulsiders should make a ploposilion in wxitina lo the villa're Council xegarding their c_0mplainll. Moved by Mr Moody,'seconded by Mr McNair, that this meeting recommend the Board of Public School Trustees to provide the necessary Public School accommo- drliou. by building an addition to the west end nfthe Public Schools. and removmg lheold brick building and the old rough cast Grammar School.-â€"~Carried. Mr M McNair thuulghl. the Board had a good opportunity to extend the common schools west, about 60 feet. and move the old GmmmarSchnol away. He c0us1dexed it n vorv dangerous building. which should be 1emmed immediately This would give an opportunity to add to the Hiuh School. About" “1.3 500 would make all the inc1ensed accommodation necessary for High and Public Schools. If mote land was xectui1- ed Mr Amold wns willinu' to give two acres on the rear of the lot for $300, which was a very libernl_ nfi“er ‘0 Mr Moody ngreefl will) Mr Brown’s idea, to pull down the brick and rough cast school houses. which would give a space about 50x80 feet. New buildings could be erected at the west ofthe western buildings and the front, building left as it now is. Mr Boyle did not think the motion just passed would do any good. The village had no right to complain about High Schools. It got some $2000 collected for the buiid- ing before the law was fairly undestood. and got off by paying $l100. The question of sharp practice on the part of the villag- ers was not confined to last your, but had been practiced years ago. Influence had been brought to bear upon the Inspector on Equalization; sotlrnt‘.‘ the villagers were rated at 40 cents on the dollar, while the outsiders were rated M 100 cents on the dollar. The present buildings are too small for High and Puber School purposes. and if increased noco‘rnniod'rition \vns not pro- vided. the Government and County Grants would be wilhdnrwn. ' 'Mr Pugsleyflid not think there was nnv complaint about the way the High School was conducted. Richmond Hill should not provide school nccommodnlion for the “‘holenf Ontario would certainly retrograde. It has furnish- ed young men who hold positions equal to any in the country. Many prominent. legal, clerical and medical man and county officials came hom this school. We have teachers all over the country who re- ceived thei1 education at this school. He felt proud ot‘the school. All should take an interest in the advancement of the rising generation. Building a school would re-- turn good interest on the money. We have a good stuff of tenchersi and be for one felt proud of them 3 j“ ' Mr Marsh saidléo far as he had-been able to ascertain the vieivn of the ratepayers he represenled, they were willing to pay one- Ibird of lhe runnmg expenses ofthe Public School, although one-fourth was all that they ought m pay. Mr Campbell regretted that:T the village appeared rather dllatory in this matter. He hoped they would take hold and take immediate action. The Board had p0wer to build but. wished to be guided by the ratepayers. as far as possible. We are compelled to build for the Public School, but he thought we were not compelled to build for the High School. He looked upon the High School with a gieut degree of pride and hoped the villagers would look on it in the same way, and do all they could for the advancement of the School. Mr Teei'y moved, Mr Moody seconded, that in the opinion ofthis meeting it is not desirable to Sc” tne th School Building, but this meeting approve of providing iii-- creased accommodation in the High and Public Schoo!s, in such economical manner as the Board may consider advisable to meet. the necessary requtrements.-_â€"Carried. Mr Trench said if the outsiders were de- termined to leave us we would not want so much school room. They should submit a proposal of what terms they wanted. He thought they should pay four hundred or four hundred and fifty dollars a year to the. school. They would have to pay a teacher that much if they separated. Sleighing is about gone.

Their use by the fair sex has become so constant for the removal of their ailments that barely a. toilet is without them. iAmongst all classes, from the domestic servant to the peeress, universal favour is accorded to these ienovatmg Pills: their invigorating and purifying properties render them safe and invaluable in all cases; they may be taken by females of all ages for any (lisorgnnization or irregularity of the system, speedily removmg the cause and restoring the sufferer to robust health. As a family medicine they are invaluable for subduing the maladies of young and old. Sermonsâ€"There is cons1dorable agitation just now over the school quesâ€" tion. It is generally admitted that Mr. J. Lawrence’s proposal and plans of building some years ago, were the correct thing, and that the village missed it by not approving of them. However it is now too late, and the next best thing appears to be Mr. Brown’s suggestion at the public meeting last Friday (a report of which appears in another column) to pull down the old rough cast grammar school, and the red brick public school‘ and erect new buildings at the western end. With regard to the Outsiders’ case, Mr Trench’s position is a good one. The outsiders should agree to certain terms for a number of years. If this is done, there will be no difficulty in coming to a suitable and amicable arrangement. The. outsiders certainly appear to have' reason for desiring a change. Their proposition will be submitted to the village Council at the next meeting, on the evening ofthe Blst inst.

It seems he met :1 Rev. gentleman on the street, and invited him in to have a chat, not thinking his good “frow” was busy washing. He rapped at the front door, as it is usually kept locked, and the good woman came and opened the door. Not seeing the Minister, she said ”What in the (1â€"1 are you coming to the front door, when you know I am busy.” Of course she apologized afterwards for being so rash. We can not blame the good woman much. - The Presbyterian Social held last Wednesday was rather a failure, but. I think everything else is humming. HUMMER.

Dr. Potts, of Toronto,delivered an eloquent sermon at 1 o’clock. after which dinner was served in the vestry. The tnbles were prettily decorated. opinions varying as to which was the nicest. There was consider-'- able rivalry amongst the young ladies a: to who-would have the best table, and, of course, they were all “quite too awful- ly lovely." The eatables were ofthe most appetizing and delicious kind, and seem- ed to be thoroughly appreciated. A large sum of money, some $2,700 was subscribed. In the evening a platform meeting was held, Mr T Carscndden oc- cupying the chair in an able manner. The Rev. Dr Potts, Messrs Carson, of Woodstock. and McCallum, of Weston, delivered excellent addresses. Subscriptions were culled for and over $1.300 was signed makingl$4000 subscribed during the afternoon. The attendance both in the afternoon and evening was very large. The Methodists are certainly a wonderful people. and the generous spirit evinced on Wednesday is very creditable to them. Very few churches in the country could show such a. result from an afternoon's ser-- vice. This will make about 333.000 which has been subscribed and partly paid in by the congregation and friends. The total cost of the Church and site is estimat- ed at $16,000 when completed, or about $17,500 if voluntary work is considered. It is supposed the Dedicetory services in June will provide for the small balanceâ€"n “mere trifleâ€"on the church. The edifice is L“); 10 WOODBRIDGE. CHURCH OPENING. EXPENDITURE Thos.
