(It is agreed on all hands that our re- cent Exhibition proved an immense success, The next thing to consider is how to ensure its success for the future, as far is possible, and make it increase from year to year, until it becomes the Heading exhibition in the County. The t‘firststep is to get the company incorpor- ntedzus an Horticultural Society, bv ”which means the Society can draw fimoney from the Government yearly, and ”can purchase property, erect buildings, etc., as may be considered advisable. thn the Act giving:r Societies this ,power was before the Local House, some 1:th years ago. our member for West York, having in View the Richmond Hill and Yonge Street Spring Exhibition, \examined the Bill, and finding that "villages (afthis size was not included, bad the Bill so amended as to apply to all incorporated villages. But so far this Society has neglected to avail itself of the privtleges granted. At the annual meeting of the Society, last Spring, Mr. C. Duncumb drew the attention of the members to this matter, and at the suggestion of the Secretary, Mr.Robt. Marsh, a motion was carried, authorizâ€" ing that ofiicer to call a meeting of the members at the proper time, and take the necessary steps to secure Incorpor ution. In view of the fact that public opinion is somewhat favourable agitated by the result of the last Exhibition, it it appears desirable to take action before this favourable influence has died out. There will likely be more general enthu- siasm in promoting any scheme for the advancement of the Society, if the iron is struck when it is yet hot. Coun. Pugsley has made a good move, and the enterprising spirit shown by the Council is creditable to that body. We notice that care will be taken to ascerâ€" tain the standing of the bonus-seekers. ltis just as well to be careful, as a number of places haVe been victimized by straw manufacturers. 1n care the parties referred to by Coun. Pugsley, should not furnish the information de- sired, we hope he will not loose all in- terest in a matter of this sort. We all know the great. advantage Patterson 55 Bros. Works are to our village, and can therefore estimate how much we would be benefitted by others, Any outlay which might be made would be amply irecouped in a short time, if a good, re- iiiuble and enterprising manufacturer is »secured. It 'is generally admitted that the present grounds are somewhat contract- ed, and more accommodation is required for the live stock. Among the schemes suggested for the advanceâ€" ment ot‘the Societv are. The forma- tion of a joint stock company, with shares at $100 each, comprising some twenty or thirty shareholders. The Company to purchase the Davidson pro- perty on Richmond Street, and there erect a suitable hall for ladies work, stalls for horses, and sheds for pigs, sheep, etc. Thls property contains some five acres, and is conveniently situ- ated, level, and not too low. Another proposal is to lease (or purchase) a ten acre field from Mr. John Palmer, at the east side of the village. With Arnold Street continued on the east side of Yonge, and Church Street south to the side road. these grounds would be much preferable for situation. A good driving track could also be made here, and plenty of room is afiorded for an Exhibition of larger proporlions than could he advan- tageously accommodated in the Davidson property. There does not. appear to be any reason why the venture would not succeed. The day may not remain a public holiday for many years, but it could still be utilized for holding the Annual Exhibition. It is also suggested that a two days fair beheld, the last day to be more particularly devoted to exhi- bitions of style and speed on the course. If the grounds were locatcd at the east of the village, as suggested, a splendid driving park ,could also be lziid out on these grounds A number of the Direc- tors are somewhat enthusiastic in the mutterjust now, and it might be as well to have a meeting, and scenic an express- ion of opinion. We are pleased to notice that the Council appears Willing to offer a bonus to manufacturers. At the last meeting, held on Monday evening, Coun. Pugsley drew the attention of the Council to the fact. that a manufacturer was advertisâ€" ing for a bonus from some village or town, in return for which he would establish a manufactory employing some seventy hands. The Councillors pres- ent seemed of the opinion that it was desirable to induce reliable men to loâ€" cate here, by means of a bonus. The Clerk was instructed to write to the parties referredIto, ascertaining parâ€" ticulars, and requesting a meeting with the Council.

The majority of the people went to a. ic-nic in Mr. Wm. McClure's Grove, about 2% 111' vs from here, where they generally celebrate the Queen's Birthday, by games of all descriptions, swingp, &c., The principal game was “a trip on the light fantastic tee,” which was indulged in freely. Professor Luba-r, or as he is generally called. “Yellow George.” was engaged for the occasion, with his Band, to carry out the programme of dances, which was done in his usual style, very creditably. Everything passed ofi quietly, con- sidering the large crowd present, and the com- mittee should be praised for the kind manner in which all were treated In the evening :1. Concert or theatrical play Was given here, in the Orange Hall, in aid of the Widow and children ofthe lute W. A. Gregory. The play was Uncle Tom’s Cabin. The Company was from the Grand Opera.

We wish him luck when ever he goes. Quite an excitement was conned last Thursday evening by a. report of a man being drowned in the River. In a few minuLes n. grca-t mum] of our villagers were on the spot, and strong men went into the water and searched for the drowned man for n. couple of hours, with grappling irons, etc. It turned out to be only n. dog which jump- ed in ofi the bank, and had a. good Wash to him- self and went home, much to the dissapointment of those who were waiting for the body of the drowned 11mm. The report was circulated by two young men who should have known a man from a dog, but as was afterwards learned. they thought it would be a good joke. \Vo think there was more ignorance shown than a, joke. Anew Doctor has arrived who has purchased the good will of tho aoon-to-bo departed one, and the general opinion is that tho small doctor has taken St. Paul’s advice, “when you meet. a stranger take him in.” The Queen’s Birthday passed off very quietely here. There was no celebr ution of any kind going on, nearly all of our villagers going 03 in d fferent directions, to enjoy themselves the best way they could. But it being a very hot day there was not much pleasure in going away or shopping at home. The Theremometer register- ed about 95° in the shade all day. The ("ouncillors went over 1he Assess- ment Roll, and compared Mr Hopkins’ as- sessment with that of mlier property-holders.

Several fireman were on a bidder against the Wall on the south side, playing a. stream upon the inside, when the wall gave indications of falling, and the men were driven buck by the heat, The excitement at this point was inta-nse, but the men reached the ground in safety. As mr us can be ascertained‘the total loss will be $125,000, with an insnmnre of only $16,000."wa5 This building was vestnrdny completed at a. cost of $5,000, and the Window sashes in the upper stories were to have been put in to-vdmy; but Instead, the structure is n heu 1 of ruins. In the small stable at the west end 0 the building was a. horse belonging to J H Killes‘,‘ Whose esâ€" tablishment is to the west of the burned build- ing. Apolicemun broke down the door and got the horse out. Scurcely had fhey got out of the waywhen the top of IL new brink Wall: at the end was obm’rved to bend outwards and fall. Several firemen were working just under the spot andjumpod out of the way, having been warned by the police not a. second before The firemen were busily eng .cd fighting the fire in the main buildingwhiri was now in a blaze from top to bot tom This was the most valuable portion of the estublishment, us itcontuined all the finer machinery med in getting out scales, and the finer class of malleable iron and small hardware. Soon there could be soon streams of molten iron running from the upper storeys of this portion, and a large number of magnificent moves stored in the lmver storey were reduced to‘u shupelossgwmthless Imuss. The crowd hnd at out of the building a. quan- tity of moulds an half finished castings cm the fire reached them in their work. These were Hammered along a. side ram]. and protected by the police. In the large yurd which lies between the establishment and Killny's irmi works, 0. large quantity of stuff stored in a large lorry was bumâ€" iug, and two or three men were attempting to draw it out (.f the fire, when one of them who seemed to be acquainted with the lace, pointed to a. burning heap, and shouted, “ ‘or God sake. boys, keep out of fliei‘eAthvre is 1L barrel of benzine under that pile.” The men, however. stuck to their work, and got the yaggou out. IIAMILTON, May 27.â€"This morning 1L man mu breathlessly up to the central fire stutisn, and g.-spe<l “Big fire at Burrow's shop ,‘hurry up.” In n11 instant the gong sounded, the boys were at their posts, and the nurses out (if doors, and an alarm sent in from box 21,. but all fioo late, for on their arrival, the firemen found the de- vouring element hnd already a firm hold on the western wing of the establishment. and was making rapid headway toward the main portions of the main structure. Since the first opening was made by Mr Drury, some ten duys since, several hundred skulls have been exposed, though a very small extent of the grave-pit appear! to have been disturbed. In the careful ohsrrvations made on Saturday, it was noticed that near the surface the skeletons remained complete as if the bodies had been doubler} up, the knees drawn up to the chin ; and the position of the skulls in several of th em showed that they had been thrown in head downwards. But its the excavation was carried lower down the remains, which included those of women and children as well as men, were no longer complete skeletons ; and st the lowest depth the floor of the pit was evidently overlaid with s dense mass of human bones promiscuousâ€" ly heaped together. All this corresponds with what has been observed in exploring the Huron ossuuries on the Georgian Bay. In the case of the long-scut‘folcd deed nothing but the detached bones would remain to be gnthered and Mid in the common grave of the tribe ; whereas in the case of those recently deceased the body would entire. and hence the complete sktletons at the top. The only respect in which this Markham ossunry appears to differ from ‘those of the Hurons’ is in the absence of uny implements or other relics. So for as we are dwsre none such have been recovered from the graveâ€"pit, though stone fixes or N‘Inahuwks, arrow heads and othrr such relics have been frequently found in the vicinityâ€"Economm'r. $25,000 WORTH OF HAMILTON GONE UP IN SMOKE. As anticipated by Dr Wilson, on Monday, 22nd ult., we learned through Simon Miller, Esq, that there were the Sirungest evidences of an old Indium village on the west bank of the German Mill Creek on Mr \Vm. Grihn‘s property, lot 8, in the 2nd Con. Markham, about three miles north- west, of the ossum‘y. In company with Drs. Arm- strong and Knill, we visited the location, and through the kindness of Mr Goh-n, examined the ruins of ancient potteiies, and collected from them many specimensof pieces of their craft. Mr. Gohn has during the past thirty- years, in )vlmving the seyeral fields ‘on which this ancient VVyrmdnt village was located. turned up num- bers of battle axes. wmnpnm, calurnets. arrow and spearheads, and otherlndian relics. which he has 1 reserved, forming u. very nice cabinet of curiosities. Thmu 1h his generosity we will be enabled to send tn r Wilson, for the University Museum, a fine collection of curiosities. Le Jenna, one of the Jesuit Fathers, has left an interesting account of hue of the great burials of the Hurons which he witnessed. A, grand Feast of the Dead was solemnly convoked. The romaine of the dead which had been exposed on scaffolds or elevated biers, during the interval 01 some seven or eight years since the last general burial of the tribe, were gathered together. A great pit was excavated, carefully lined with fare. and in this the bones were deposited, along with Whatever relics had been placed on the bier, or were anew offered by the mourners. All who had died on the Warpath, or on any distant journey, and been temporarily buried, were now sought out, and their remains brought to the common sepulohre. A practice in many respectfi akin to this appears to have prevailed among the Algonquins, Mundane, Sioux. and other tribes ; and the cemetery recently brought to light appears to be of the same elass. The ancient Indian cemetery recently brought to light on Lot No. 6 inthe 3rd Con. of Mark- ham, was visited on Saturday by D1- Wilson,D of ’Jorouto, in company with Dr Armatron§,D Knii] Capt.
