Some recent: evidence adduced by the ,. Boston Courier indicates that. the Maine Liquor Law, after years of trial, is not all that: fancy painted it.. in most of the cities and towns liquors are sold. freely in drug stores instead of taverns, and the Only difference appears to be that. en inferior quality of liquor is sold, as the sale is contraband and without the inspection of the law officers.

Some months ago the Record printed an account of the labors of the female iron-workers in "The Black Country,” near Birmingham, England, based on the observntions of Mr. Samuel S. Bald- win.

The Star, after republishing the article from the Record, adds the following comment: “We may state that representatives of this journal have recently made diligent inquiries, have visrted the “homes” of the people and converscd with them about their work and their earnings, and have recorded their experiences, which are practically the same as those of Mr. Baldwin.

Law The following, taken from the Mail on the butter question, may not come amiss to some of our readers :â€"- The butter trade is one of which we very seldom hear a good word spoken in Toron- to. If we may judge by the opinions ex“ pressed by parties who from fime to time have gone into the business on a large scale, the profits have not been sufficient to line their pockets very richly. 1 A new season is now about to open. lnl one point it opens well ; there are no over- lying stocks ofinferior goods which must be sold for grease on hand ; all offered in the prawns season has been got off, and we are done with it. By the experience which it has brought. back, and the resolves‘ which that experience has infused into the‘ minds of dealers, should be laid to heart by l country merchants. We do not mean to i, say that the trade is going to be turned upside down and placed upon an entirely new footing. But we have no hesitation in saying that, for the present at least, shippers will not act upon the policy :â€" “Touch not, taste not, handle not,” unless they can buy at prices much below those which have previously been ruling ; and that they will buy none other than good butter at any price, unless to sell as grease. Now there is nothing which the country merchant is more apt to buy lieedlesslv than butter ; to refuse to take it, and at the highest price too, is, we believe, a deadly insult to the ladies who make it, and one which is sure to be punished bv the loss of their custom for the many articles of dry goods which they. in their mistaken modesty foolishly believe are needed to set 03‘ their own charms and those of their sweet little darlings also. The storekeepcr thinks that he had better lose cents on butter than dol-- lars on dry goods. Very well ; but let. him not rely on a profit on his butter to meet a forthcoming account ; but let him charge himself with the loss on it as an addition to his accounts. ‘And let him not mix good and btid qualities, for by so doing he will destroy the good or bring them down to the level of the bad. Nor let him make up his mind that “It will pay to hold.” Butter is a piece of goods worse fitted to hold than almost anything ho can lay his hands on, and it is very improbable that he will this year find people buying it in hopes that. prices will have advanced by the time the goods shall have reached their consumer. Outside markets are now being watched, and it is known that in butter as in other goods we must sell as'cheaply as our com-- vtitors if we are to find buyers. New Y Ork now quotes fair to good creamery at 15 to 16c., and choice to fancy at. 18 to 21¢, western dairy at 14 to l60., and western Factory at 9 to 14¢. All know that. New York can ship cheaper than Toronto, and that their creamery beats us in English markets. But even these prices seem to be there thought too high for shipment, And that they really are so would appear from the fact that late Liverpool advices quote “fine to good"â€"â€"which is all our shipments reachâ€"at 603 to 705. per cwt., which latter figure is just equal to 15c. per 1b,. Under these Circumstances the 15 to Note. which have been paid here for city use cannot be paid for shipment. which is the only means whereby We can find a sale for all we have to offer, and this year it is generally thought that we shall have much more than usualto spare. May it not then be Well ‘ to face even the offended. matron rather than pay Him 170. for butter, hold it until Christmas, and then sell it for grease at 100. per ib 7 The Butter Question.

Mr Cuemdy intends, as soon as possible, to re" move the large machine shop (part of which is occupied by Mr Robt.

The lazy‘ mind will not. take the trouble of going tol the bottom offanything ; but, discouraged by the first difficulties (and everything worth knowing or hnying is attended with some). stops short. contents itself with easy, and consequently superficial knowledge, and prefers it great degree of ignorance to a small degree of trouble. These people either think or represent most things as im- possible, whereas few thiugs are so. by way of excuse for their laziness. An hour’s at" tention to the same object is too laborious for them ; they take everything in the light in which it first presents itself. never con-- sider it in nlltts different views, and in short, never think it: through. The consequence is that when they come to speak on these subyects before people who have considered llle with attention, they only discover their own ignorance and laziness, and lay themselves open to anewers that put them in confusion.-â€"Farm and Fireside.

The morning turned out. fine and worm, with a sort, of inclination to rain, but only a few drops fell. About 7 a. m.. the village was till astir, all bent. on having a general good time. The morn~ ing trains from Toronto brought in large crowds of ,vrsitors, also the train from the north brought a great many. We had two pic-nics. The Foresters, which was held in the Agricultural grounds. and the Bolt Works, from Toronto, combined with the Good Templurs, which was held in Pluyter’s grove, a little west of the Station. Both parties opposed one another for all they were worth, and each had a good share of pntron- age ; more. I believe, than they should have had, by the way the programmes were carried out. It. is always the way in n small place, when two parties wont to run the whole show, one ts sure to be out of pocket. So I believe the Good Templnrs are con-- siderably out, whilst. the Foresters are $127 ahead, but neither of the parties need try to get up another celebration in Woodhndge for some time to come. The Lacrosse Match in the Agricultural Grounds, between the Richmond Hill and Woodbridge teams, was the most exciting part of the program. but did not. last lonz enough. The game was to have started nt 11 a m., but it. was 1.15 before the ball was faced Somepretty rough play was witnessed for about. half an hour. when time was called, as the Forest.- ets wanted the grounds for other games, much to the dissatisfaction of the large crowd that was present, who only went to see the match. The Woodbridge boys fought the game well, and the Hill boys knew before it. was long going, that they were not playing: on their own grounds We would like to have seen the match ended on that dabeut probably will some other time, or as the Woodbridge boys say. let them meet. us half way. The remainder of the day was spent in various ways, Horse racing Running, Jumping, and other amusements. There were two concerts in the evening. one in the Orange Hall, by the Foresters, and the ocher in the Agricultural Hall by the Boll. Works Band. Both were well patromzed, and everything passed off quiet-- ly.‘_ About 400 people visited our village that day.

The thief secured an entrance through a window in the room behind the bar, and ransacked the till in the hepes of securing a large “pile,” but for- tunately Mr POWell had taken charge of nearly all the money before he retired, and the would be burglar only got about $1.50 in small silver.

DOMINION DAY AT WocDBRIDGE.â€"â€" The Foresters of Woodbridge celebrated Dominion Day in a very becoming man- ner. The most excitement seemed to be about the Lacrosse Match between the “Young Canadians” of Richmond Hill, and the “Echos” of that place. At 10.45 a m., the Richmond Hill Band and Lacrosse Club arrived, and shortly after both Clubs were marched to the grounds, to commence the match. A long delay took place, however, and the game was not started until nearly 1 o’clock. When the Referee called time the Clubs took their places on the field, and after playing for about 15 minutes the game was stopped by the Foresters, who announced that they wished the ground for the other games and amuse-- ments. This was very unsatisfactory to the Hill boys, as, after having gone so far, they thought they might be permitâ€" ted to finish the game. The “Young Canadians” claim that they were not treated squarely by either the Foresters or the “Echos,” and would like to play the match on neutral grounds. V. Our Band carried ad the 1st prize, and we believe the general opinion is that it was the best Band that has visited Wood - bridge for some time. The games and amusements were comprised of running, jumping, horse racing. dancing, etc., which were entered into in a hearty manner. The Concert held in the evening was a grand success.

Your: UNIFORM Pnoxo'rros EXAMS.-In future, promotions in the Public Schools in North York will be uniform, and will take place twice a Year. One exam will be held during the first week in March, and one in the first week of November. The inspector assisted by two competent. persons, not engaged in Public School work, shall be constituted a Central Board, for the purpose of preparing exam papers for the pupils, and conducting these exams. This will take a great. responsibility ofl’ teachers, and prevent- pupils being pro-- ‘moted from one class to another before ‘they are competent to take up the work ‘ of the class. The County Council, at its June session, unanimously agreed to furnish 850 towards the cost of the next exam, and expressed a desire for the in-- troduction of this uniform test. of eflici- ency in all the schools of the county. In consequence of this change, there will he no promotions in the Public 'Schools in Richmond Hill till November, when written exams will be held from Second class to Junior Third ; from Junior to Senior Third, and from Senior Third to Fourth class. ROYAL Rupeesâ€"We have been favoured by specimens of “the Royal Readers,” published by James Campâ€" bell & Son. "Of making many books there is no end," is an old saying that is especially true at the present time. It is frequently urged that the changes in our school books are too frequent, and that the slight changes in the matter which they contain do not justify the rapid succession with which the books follow each other. We think, however, that an examination of the advance sheets of the Royal Series will convince any one that the change is not contem- plated simply for the sake of change. A great deal of educational skill is disâ€" played, both in the order and contents of the books. There is an easy gradual ascent from the simpler to the mere diflieult parts of the books,as well as good literary taste displayed in the selection of the reading material which they conâ€" tain. The notes and questions appendâ€" ed to the more advanced parts of the books will be of great assistance in enâ€" abling the pupil to thoroughly master what he reads. We wish the enterpris- ing publishers every success in their undertaking to suppiy our schools with such a series of books. MEssns. Palliser, Palliser & Co, of Bridgeport, Ct., the well known archiâ€" tects and Publishers of standard works on architecture, have lately issued a sheet containing plans and specifications of a very tasteful modern eight-room cottage with tower and also with the necessary modifications for building it without the tower, and with but six rooms if desired. In its most costly form, the outlay is estimated at $3,000 ; without the tower it has been built for- 82.500 ; and if only six rooms are inâ€" cluded , the cost may be reduced to $1,700 of $2,000. Details are given of mantels, stairs, doors and earrings, corâ€" nices, etc. The publishers have found it the most popular plan they have ever issued, and state that it has been adoptâ€" ed in more than five hundred instances in their knowledge. The same firm issue Specifications in blank, adapted for frame or brick buildings of any cost ; also forms of building contract, and sevâ€" eral books on modern inexpensive, artist- ic Cottage plans which are of' great prac- tical value and convenience to everyone interested. - Barley Outs, Peas Rye T Davy 8L Clark.
