The Ontario Government has done a good work in calling the attention of the people to the necessity of preserving the forests. Mr R. W. Phipps has issued a work upon the subject, being employed by the Government to that end. It will not do, however, to stop right here, for the Whole business will absolutely be- come a dead letter unless the information compiled is practically enforced. In speaking of the amount of forest existing in Ontario counties, the compiler of the work furnishes the followmg ap- proximate estimates for the counties 0‘1 Simcoe and York : “Simcoe :â€"-â€"It is impossible to glean from the returns the total acreage under timber, but probably over one-half of the entire county area is under maple, beech, elm, basswood, tamarack, pine, hemlock, cedar, balsam, birch, ash and oak. Lumbering opera~ tions are very extensively carried on in several of the townships, and there is a large amount of business done in hemâ€" lock bark, (which is largely used within the county. and also exported for tanâ€" ning purposes), and in railway ties, tele graph poles, and shingles. The hardâ€" wood is principally used for fuel, and the soft woods for building and fencing.” 5 THURSDAY, AUGUST 2, 1883. Harvest is Comingâ€"J Brown “York :â€"â€"Aboul; twentyâ€"two and ~a- half per cent of the area of York is still under timber, consisting of beech, maple, elm, basswood, pine, hemlock, cedar, tamarack and birch ; used for building purposes, {@0in gird firewood." Mr D. W. Beadle, of St. Catharines, a gentleman of great practical knowledge. concerning the first steps to be taken by any who may wish to make plantations from seed : “It has occurred to me that there may be farmers who are obliged to go to nurserymen for young tree when they want to plant them, either for useful purposes or for orna- mentation, and if they want to plant largely they may find it impossible to get them in sufficient quantities from nurserymen, who generally confine the planting to fruit trees, and they have not grown, to any great extent, forest trees for the sake of timber. But these parties can form a nursery of these trees themselves, by procuring a small piece of ground, and have it especially preâ€" pared and well manurcd, so that there. will be strength in the soil. for a few years, and then they can raise whatever kind of tree they want. The seeds of elms, maples, ashes, and of the walnut and butternut can be found in almost any part of the Province. The impertant point in planting by seeds is that they should be planted as soon as perfectly ripe. Some of our trees ripen their seeds quite early. The soft maples. the dasycarpum and rubrum, and the elms, ripen their seeds in June. These maples ripen their seeds in J une, and it should be gathered and sown at once. so that you can get a tree of conâ€" siderable growth before the winter season The seeds of the elms should also be sown at once ; they should he sown in drills, not deeply but very lightly. These small seeds require to be covered with only sufiieient earth to keep moist, and they will produce plants in a very shrot time, and gain sufficient strength to ride even the cold season. If, how-â€" ever, you are not in a position to sow the seed at once, and wish to keep them till: the next Spring, they should be mixed with sandy soil and- kept damp, yet not so damp as to cause them to germinate, and not be allowed to get dry. In this way you may preserve them with safety. If kept dry in papers some of them will have vitality in the spring, hut'very many of them will not germiâ€" nate the next season, and the proper way to preserve them is to mix them with moist earth. But it is not true of all the maples that they ripen their seeds so early in the season The sugar maple ripens its seeds late in the autumn, as well as the ashâ€"leaved maple, and unless you wish to sow them in the autumn, you have to preserve them and sew them in the spring. Now [mum to the butternuts, chestâ€" nuts and walnuts ; these all ripen in the late autumn, and. in suitable soils may he planted as soon as gathered, and alâ€" lbwed- to- freeze am} thaw with impunity, as they will not suffer therefrom, but will generate freely in the spring. But in soils which lie ene’ter the effect of alâ€" ternate Freezing and thawing. it Will be Better to mix the seed With earth. in sufficient quantity to keep the seeds moist and prevent them from moulding, and keeprthem until spring before plant- ing ; or they may be spread out very thin upon the ground, and covered with ti sod, in which manner they will keep- fresh. It is not necessary that the nuts will be subjected to frost, that is a matâ€"- be): of perfect indifference; the important thing is not to permit them to become dry. These trees can be» gaowu in nursery fashion until they attain snfiiciâ€" ent Size to be planted where they are to remain, especially the elms, maples, and ashes.” t Given Away.

The World gave a kind of review the other day, of the new school readers. and in the course of its remarks, refers to one of Messrs. nge’s books after this style: “Misleading as are the statements in the book, Were the matter good as literature, it might be tolerated. But this is 't'ar from being the case, and the series can hardly be expected to shine as lamps of style. Many of the lessons, indeed, suggest the idea that they were setter designed to serve nay intellectual pur- pose. In the natural history lessons we feel this specially to be the ease. Let the following extract from page 40 ofthe Fourth Book bear witness. The subject is “Jumbo”: “If the elephant’s nose were like our noses, or like the noses of ordinary animals, he could not, of corse, use it for taking hold ofanything ; but it is very different. His nose ts drawn out to such a length that it reaches from his head to the ground when he stands upright, and everybody knows (sic) it under the name of the trunk.” Now what- ordinary or extraordinary ani- mal of the genius literary is responsible l for this imbecile joke ?" The World is opposed to Drs. K. & K. It calls them doubly-dyed medical quacks. It severely bemoans how gullâ€" able people are to be taken in by such frauds and quacks as Drs. Kill and Kure It gives an account of a poor fellow named Maloney, of Ottawa, who writes that under promise of cure or certain relief from a painful chronic disease he was induced to pay them ten dollars. Poor fellow, the money he could so ill afl'ord only went to swell the bank acâ€" count of this brace of beauties. It is about time such sharpers were shown up by the whole press of the country, in» stead of that some of the leading news- papers take from them a few hundred dollars and advertise them and their wares, to the detriment and loss of those who can illy afford to lose the money they pay Drs. Kill & Kure for, it may be, aggravating the complaint instead of alleviating it. Another election petition has been dismissed. Mr Hagar, Liberal elect for Prescott, got off the other day, and now Mr A P Ross. Conservative elect for Cornwall, has had the petition against him withdrawn without going to trial. It would appear that Ontario constit~ uencies are scarcely so corrupt as parties would have them, and what was the sense of having so many protests entered; it is certainly hard to understand. It appears to us to be only a waste of time and money for no good purpose. If can- didates gain their seats through bribery and corruption, by all means give them what they deserve. Do not contest a seat after the election without being sure, or, at all events, reasonably certain that you have good grounds for so doing. it not only reflects roughly upon the candidate making the appeal, but all those connected with him. Of course it gives work and costs money, and we suppose those who derive benefits of this nature have no objections ; however much it may cast odium upon constituâ€" encies to have it said that any one could be bribed by whisky or otherwise, to vote contrary to his conscience if such he has. What we have said here applies as much to one side as to the other. The World further goes to say that it is impossible to teach English of any respectability out of these Readers, and it is somewhat astonished at. the Central Committee passing, even provisionally, the books for to be in our public schools. Arrangements have been made for lay- ing and operating a new cable across the Atlantic. The name of the company that has undertaken the work is The American, British and Continental Cable Company. The capital stock is £1,500,000, and has been all subscribed by Engligh capitalists. One cable, a New York despatch says, will be conâ€" nected with Canadian lines, and another ’w111 be landed at the eastern end of Long Island and will be connected with New York. The absence of a majority of Minis- ters from the Capital is disturbing the equanimity of Oppositon organs. When the members of Mr Mackenzie’s Govern- ment used to rove around the country, their absence did not gun: the same jour- nals any concern, and when at intervals the affalrs of Ontario are left in the hands of Mr Frazer, Mr Hardy, or Mr Pardee. as the case may be, they fail to manifest the tenst: anxiety.

Severe Criticism. Kill and Kara. Sta,â€"In your last issue I notice a letterl from T. F. McMahon, in which, as he isl wont to do, he endeavors to mislead the public by making false assertions. First, he states that. since the publication of the names in your issue of July 19th Messrs. ' Folheringham and Dixon have reexamined t the papers. Mr McMahon knows that this statement is a falsehood, inasmuch as he called on Mr Fotlteringham after he and Mri Dixon had re-examined the papers and in--} insisted upon seeing them before they were‘ forwarded to the Department. Mr F., how- ever, refused to comply with his request“ It was some days after this before the re» sults were published. Allow me to give the following dates, which speak for them-- selves. I finished reading the papers on the thh. MesSrs. Fotheringham and Dixon received them on the l3th, and prepared their report on the 16th, after 'Rthey had carefully re-examined the papers. They were returned on the 17th. and on the [filth I met Mr Fotheringltam in Toronto and i personally submitted our reports to the Education Department and ascertained who i were to be reperted as “having passed in all subjects, and in addition busting obtained the mtnimum number of marks required for passing.” The results were not published ‘ until the 19th, not only after Messrs Father- ingham and Dixon had read the papers, but even after the reports ofthe three of as had passed through the hands of the officials at i the Department. Further on I shall quote from Mr Fotheringham’s report, dated the 16th, three days before the results were pub- lished, and, as Mr F. is not. a man who wouldfirst prepare his report and after» wards read the papers he has reported on, you will see how false Mr McMahon’s first istatement is. To the Editor of the Herald. in your last inane Ialluded to the fact that the report from the Education Depart-- men! had been presented to the Secretary of our School Board He and the chairman of our Board can attest to the fact that the published report is correct. Since then I have seen Mr Fotheringhum, and he gave me permission to state that not one more would be able to enter the High School in consequence of their reading the papers. and that substantial justice had been given. I shall now give a few quotations from Mr. Fothertngharn’s report, already alluded lo, and which he sent to me. MY Dem SIR.â€"Mr DIXON was unable lo examine all the papers from lilchmond Hill Iill m-dny. Slmll enclose the notes he at" tached to the different. subjects. which, 1 think, you will be glad to see. "I find your valuations and mine cones-- pond almost exactly,” 550. “You will notice that lhe valuations vary slightly by almost any two persons, and [ think where we have so nearly reached the same result there is evidence that substantial justice has been done.” Further on he states that. Mr Dixon's marking and his own, when aggregated, difl'er from mine by only a very small fine-- hon, viz. 28-1000,000. Mr Dixon, in his re art of the same date, which he sent to Mr FPolheringham (not to me) and in which he compares my marking with his own, states. “I find surprisingly little difference in our valuations. 1 consid- er all the papers valued by Mr McBride in accordance with justice, and see ' no room for complaint}: Now,'anent his third statement. in which he conveys the idea that Messrs. Fathering- ham and Dixon recommend six, whilst I did not recommend any, allow me to assert that this, too, is absolutely untrue. Being aware of the fact that Mr McM’sl pupils are not by any means stupid. but, on 1 the contrary, that most of them have good‘ native ability, and that. if properly taught. they would reflect credit on themselves and their teacher, my sympathy for those who had failed so many times induced me to exert myseil on their behall. After the Xmas exams I suggested to Mr Fathering-- ham that I would like to provisionally ad-- mit two of Mr McM’s pupils, as I knew they had ability though poorly taught, and though they were about 40 marks behind. Mr F. obiected, and stated that their standing was too low. and in doing so he acted rightly and consCtentiously. This time. since the questions were so exceedingly simple the chairman and I concluded that no person who failed in any subject, or on the aggre- gate should he admitted to the High School. However, when [ read the papers and found that only two from the village School ob-- tained the required number of marks. my anxiety to increase the attendance in our High School induced me to again approach Mr Fotherinuham, and though he did not recommend a single one from Newmarket who Failed to get the percentage. yet, he consented to my admitting some from the village School who failed to get it, it'[ could ‘get permission from the Department. I went twice to Toronto, stated that the pupils had failed several times, that they had good ability, and that with special asâ€" isistance they would soon be able to keep lup with the classes. I n . . HoLLown's Piusâ€"Epidemic. Diseases ~The alarming increase of death from cholera and diarrhoea should be a warning to every one to subdue at. once any irreguâ€" larity tending towards disease. Belloway’s Pills should now be in every household to rectify all impure states of the blood, to remedy weakness, and to overcome impaired general health. Nothing can be simpler than the instructions for taking this correct- ive medicine, nothing more efficient. than its cleansing powers, nothing more harmless than its vegetable ingredients. Hollowny's is the best physio during the summer season when decaying fruits and nnwholesome veg- etables are frequently deranging the bowels, and daily exposing thousands, through their negligenag in permitting disordered action, to the danners of diarrhoea, dysentery and Q cholera. A As I ascertained the results of my special and personal recommendation too late for publication in your last issue. I now give in order of merit the names of those who may be admitted to the High School :-â€"George Peach, Eva Wiley, Mary Trench, Lizzie Powell, Wm. Collard, and Alice Hopper. This shOWs conclusively it is I who exerted myself in behalf of these candidates. The fact that Mr McMahon's pupils, though several fail on the aggregate, and also on important. subjects. are the only ones thus recommended by me should incontrovertiny prove that. I am more anxious to pass pupils from the village than from other schools. The reason is obvious, because I know they will swell the attendance of the High School. I am thoroughly discouraged in knowing that while other High Schools in the country have good village Public Schools which pass several candidates at every exam ination, I have never yet. received a single pupil fully prepared in our village School.

If so, it is about time something was being done. At a recent meeting of the Fire Company a Committee was appoint- ed to take the matter in hand, and arâ€" range for having a grand time, but as yet, nothing definite has been decided upon. Nearly all our sister villages have had their Civic Holidays, and we do not see why an enterprising village like Richmond Hill should be behind the times. Ifthe committee would set to work in n businessdike manner there is no doubt but what we might. have one of the most successful affairs that has taken place in our village for along time. PATTERSON vs. AURORA.â€"-The La- crosse Match on Saturday afternoon last, between the Patterson and Aurora clubs, on the grounds of the latter, was witâ€" nessed by a large crowd of spectators. As both clubs Were young at the game, and this being the first match either have played, very little science was noticeable. The Aurora boys seemed to have the advantage in weight, and secured the two first games in very short order. The third game was somewhat longer, and both sides played hard to win, but luck seemed to favor the Auror- aites. and they sent the ball again beâ€" tween the flags, after 26 minutes’ play, thus winning the match by 3 straight games. If the Patterson club strength- en their “home,” and practice for a few more weeks, they will be able to give, no doubt, a better account of themselves in their next contest. REVOLVER ACCIDENT.â€"A young man named Charles MoVenn, at Vivian, came very near being instantly killed lately. He had been working very in- dustriously in the hay field and had got leave of absence to enjoy the day as be pleased. He started to go to a neigh- bor’s but seeing a. ground-hog he ran back to the house and got a revolver. He aimed at his game, but the fire-arm would not go off, nor revolve. He turn- ed it towards him. and was looking down the barrel to see when the bull would be opposite the chamber. The moment it was in position the trigger fell, and the ball entered into his forehead. He walked home alone, and threw the reâ€" volver away before he got to the house. Drs. Frett and Freel were at once sent for, and when they arrived they found him in a very precarious condition. He was put under the influence of chloroform and, with great difficulty, the ball was extracted. onnss'r IN run PROVINCEâ€"The resulls of the University Exams are just known, and we are happy to say that Richmond Hill has, in Scholarship, Hon- ors and Number Passed, outstripped every High School in the Province. We have obtained the Proficiency Scholar-- ship, worth $120, and seven Honors, viz : 1 in Mathematics, 1 in French, I in Classics, 1 in English, and 3 in His- tory. Out of seven candidates, six have passed. and the one who failed did so in consequence of an inudvertant mistake at the examinations. Jeremiah A. Palmer, obtained Honors in Classics, French, Mathematics, English, History and Geography, and secured the General Proficienv Scholarship, worth $120. Lilian Gladdish and Helen Miller obtain- ed Honors in History and Geography.

F.; Gladdish. Lilian ; Glover, Mary ; Miller, Helen, and Walkington, Janet. Does this not speak for the standing of our High School 7 We can- gratulate Mr McBride upon the success which has crowned his efforts, and are sure the village is proud of the standard of the school, under his careful and superior tuition. This is the best record that has ever been shown by our school, and the public can safety depend upon this being the best High School in the Province: LOCAL ITEMS.

ENTRANCE EXAM--At the recent En- trance Examinations to the High Schools Newmarket School passed 10 with 2 recommended, out of 18 ; Markham, 8 out of 13 ; Richmond Hill, 2 out of 14. The Ringwood school sent 4 pupils to Markham, all of whom were successful, taking an average of 422 marks. One, Homer Eckardt. from llnionville school, passed with the creditable number of 495 marks. According to Mr McMahon's (Public School Teacher), letter in our last issue, the Richmond Hill school passed 4 and 6 were recommended. Mr McBride, in this issue, gives the names of 6 recommended, which, with 2 passed makes 8. There seems to be some mis- understanding somewhere, and it is now in order for us to hear from Mr Fothcrâ€" ingham on the subject matters in dispute. Richmond Hill schools, school matters, and school teachers are getting somewhat noted of late for taking up a good deal of public attention.
