Howell & Co’s Newspaper Advertising Bureau (10 Spruce st.)w1wre advertis- ing contacts may be made for ith NEW YORK We learn by the papers that one, Ans ley Gray, who had been advocating the Scott Act in Canada, was lately taken in charge by the Police of Buffalo, for acting in. a manner not very becoming one who believed in the applicability. of temperance principles. When searched, the sum of $1305 was found in his posâ€" session. It must be a bitter reflection t to think that the money paid to advocate the cause of temperance, should be paid to one so little worthy of it, Canada should command sufficient talent within itself to advocate a cause that we are told is both good and pure. it is enOUgh for those who are opposed to the cause of good to pay enormous sums of money to uphold their side of the quesâ€" tion. But it is not the first time, nor yet. will it be the last, when such doings have been done. It has been no uncom- mon thing for temperance lecturers. more especially those who make a living by their ability in showing forth the many evils that predominate in the glass that inebriates, to be able to drink their wine both before and after speaking against the use of it. As we already state, there should be no occasion to pay advocates trom Buffalo or anywhere else to con- demo the custom of society : a custom that is legally licensed by government. If this custom is wrong, it should not have been allowed. The date printed on each paper denotes the time when the subscription expires. We'do not hold ou‘rsclves responsible for the qpiniong of our Correspondents. The question of right or wrong has been put to many constituencies in the past few months, and'invariably the vote has 1stone in favor of those who advocate the Scott Act. We have been told that iii-many places where the Act is in force,- it is no hard matter to get what a man may require in the shape of whiskey or ale, only the articles are not known by the old time names, thereby showing deâ€" ception must be used before the article can be obtained. We are informed by those who take an active part in advoâ€" cating the passing of the Act, that it‘ will carry in this county, but they have their doubts about the city. They hold and argue that business will be just as good after, if not better than it was beâ€" fore ; that men who have been in the habit of submitting to the damnable practice of treating and being treated, are only too anxious ofa way to escape from it, by voting the first opportunity offered them. They tell you the Act will not be carried so much by the votes of temperance incu, as by the votes of those who now can take their social glass either from habit or a desire not to offend those who may ask them to partake. Sclnerthere are, who will not vote one way nor the other, who are perfectly in- different which Way it goes. There are others again who will be only too glad'of’ Prohibition, so that the temptation of drink may be lifted from their reach ; those who,_ whilst acknowledging the great misery brought to themselves and families-by the curse of drink, are at thersame time, powerless to refrain from partaking of the cup that inebriates. Is it then not' worth while, for the sake of such that the cup should be lifted so high that no excuse should be necessary from such, for drinking themselves drunk?

Whether the Scott Act carries in this County or not it matters personally little to us, if the majority of the people beâ€" lieve it is gorng to benefit the community by all means let it be done. Take from the youth of the country the temptation to indulge in that that is no benefit to soul or body; but, if the Act is to carry, let it be carried in its rntircty. We must, however, acknowledge our doubts are strong, as to allowing the nityoto be free from the power of the Act. whilst the same is enforct-d iu the County. A Provincial prohibition no doubt would have been better than to be cut up into so many parts as it. is now. But the uncertainty of the whole l’rovinc‘e adopting the law, had no doubt. something to do wnh the manner and way it has been pm to the people. We shall be willing 10‘ open our columns to those who are desirous_of’ expressing their views upon the subject, but let it be done in maderation. Election of School Trustees. Under the statutes of Ontario, 1885, the Board of Public School Trustees, or the Board of Education in any city, town, incorporated Village or township 'in which a Township Board has been established, may. by resolution, of which notice shall be given to the Clerk of the Municipality on or before the first 'day of October in any year, require the elec- tion' for the School Trustees in such city. town, incorporated village. or town- ship, to be held on the same day, and in the same manner as Municipal Councilâ€" lors, or Aldermen are elected, as the case may be. guilty of high treason, adding a recomâ€" mendation to mercy, which probably means that they think he is not wholly sane, and he has been sentenced to be hanged on September 18th. -’ Ot'his ac~ tual guilt there has never been the shadow of doubt. He openly conducted a rebellion for two months, and surrend- ered only whenhis adherents were disâ€" persed and rendered incapable of further mischief. The question before the jury was not so much the fact of his particiâ€" pation in that supreme offence against. the law as his own moral conception of it. It was urged in his behalf that his magnificent plans could only have been concocted by a lunatic; and experts of prominence in their profession, who had examined him in gun], were called to show that he was subject to hallucinaâ€" tions. The jury, however, has decided ‘that he knew the difference between right and wrong, and was responsible for the actions that resulted in so much bloodshed. Upon that verdict the Crown is bound to act, unless the felon’s insan-- ity is established to its satisfaction. No one would care to see a. madman hanged even for so monstrous a crime as that of' which Riel has been convicted ; but, on the other hand, the public interests deâ€" mand that this twice-guilty rebel shall not escape upon a mere suspicion of in- sanity. His counscl intend to carry the case on appeal to the Superior Court in Manitoba, but the decision in the recent trial of Connors is against the exceptions they take to the constitutionality of the proceedings at Regina; and upon the question of ltiel’s sanity the Manitoba tribunal cannot pronounce. The sen- tenco of the law must be carried out un- less, as we have said, it is distinctly be: lieved that its infliction would amount to murder.â€"-â€" Mail. ' We beg to call the attention of our Board of Education to the provisions of the Act on page 224', section 104, and think It would be as well for the mem- bers to take into consideration the ques- tion of whether it would not bejudicious to adopt the idea of our School Trustees being elected in the same manner as Councillors are elected by ballot. The only fault we find with the Act is that it was not made compulsory instead of op- tional. The Board met on Tuesday last. 4th inst. Present, Messrs. Patterson. Boyle Brown, Nanghton.

The attendance an the services was fairlv grind} The Rev. gentleman de livered an eicellent discourse. and was listened to with marked attention. The organist, Mr. Clarke, handles the inâ€" strnment with a master‘shafi'd. think the singing is impro‘iing, and' the ideal hf bringing in the youngto the choir“ is a good one. The occasional exchange of' pfilpit‘s hetween the ministers_ of the Church is commendable. aan should he more adopted in the Church than it is. - FALL FAIRs.â€"The Fall Fairs this year, as far as we are able to judge at the present time, promise to be very suc- cessful. The North York will be held at Newmarket on October 6th and 7th ; the Frovincial at London, Sept. 7th to 12th ; and the Industrial at Toronto, Sept. 9th to‘ 19th. The attendance at the latter’ last year was 150,000. and al. ready it is’eifpected that that number will be fhr exceeded at the coming Fair. ‘The entries and applications for space‘ are coming in. so fast that the managers are put about" to accommodate all. The directors claimihat the specth attraee tions ibi- this Fair are far afieadiof those‘ for any previous’ ate, and are determined‘ to improve it yearl'y. Cheap‘raten and excursions Will be pr’O’Vided on all the railroads, of which, no doubt advantage will quickly be taken. All entries must be made before the 22nd of August, and all intending exhibitors should make their entries as soon as possible, in order to secure space. ‘ Snmofis Lossâ€"We regret to say that the heavy rainof' Monday has heed the cause of much loss to many farmers in Ihis neighborhooJ . The crops which looked so well all along have in a moâ€" mentheen destroyeér or much injured._ Those who succeeded in getting m all their grain have been very fortunate. Although rain Was much required for some purposes, it being a long time since we had any, it came too heavy and ugly when it did come. A few days more of dry weather was all that was required to have secured one of the best ci'ops that we have been blessed with in this neigh- borhond for a long time past: but now the loss will be heavy. But such is life we know not what a day may bring forth. PRES‘BYTERIAN PARTY.â€"Tbe Lawn Party, held under the auspices of the ladies of the Presbyterian Church, on Friday evening last, was deserving of better patronage. The Grounds of Dr. James Langst’afi, in which it was held, were illuminated by Chinese Fantems, hung in festoons among the trees. which presented a very beautiful appearance, the various lines lzmt’erns blending har- moniously with tlie dark foliage of the surrounding trees. The evening was all that could be desired for the sale of Ice Cream, Raspberries, and other delicacies of which there was an abdndance, and which the Presbyterian ladies throw “90‘ well how to supply. Notwithstanding} this, the attendance was limited, on ac- count of' the farmers being in the midst oft’heir harvesting. Proceeds amounted ‘ to about $30. LOCAL ITEMS. .

Church, of this village, on Monday last, but owing to the inclemency of the weather the crowd was not very large. However those who were present showed a deep interest. in the cause. and seemed very sanguine of the Act passing in this County. CIVIC HOLIDAY.â€"As yet we have heard of no day being set apart as Civic Holiday. While other villages and towns have theirs in the right time, it appears that we are f'ated to have it so late in the season that the weather of a single day can not be depended upon. Why not determine upon the date at once, at this time. when all our villagers are tired out, with the hard work and excessive heat. a holiday would no doubt be very acceptable. SCOTLAND’S SANGS â€"â€"The celebrated and only family of Scotch Vocalists now‘ travelling in America, the Bairnsl’ather Family, will give one of their elegant and refined Scotch Entertainments in the Temperance Hall, in this village, on Wednesday evening. August 12th, entit- led “A Nioht in Auld Scotin.” This fam- ily have been making a tour West. and the opinions of' the press go to show that they have been greeted with crowded houses, and every person delighted with the entertainment.

Informamon On School Matters SIR,â€"-I observe in the HERALD of; last week. that the Public School Board has decided to collect? from thetaxpayers this year, the sum of seventeen hundred dollars for Public Sch001 purposes. As this sum is extremely large, would it not be as well for the Board or‘ its Treasurer to publish the estimates for the current year, stating how much is required for salaries, fuel, onretaking, repairs and other expenses. I would also like to know where copies of the accounts for, the last. two years could be procured 1’ It has been the usual custom to distri-- bute them among the ratepayers, but for the last year or two this custom has not been followed. Hoping that the eflicient Treasurer of the Public School Board will furnish our interested public with all theiuformation possible. TAXPAYER. Riohmond Hill, Aug. 6th, 1885. LOCAL ITEMS".
