' 'The inmates of the industrial home are becuming more contented with their position, as they get accustomed to their surroundings. The Home will undoubt- edly be an ifiem of economy in the future management of the financial affairs of the cuunty, when a few years shall have de- veloped the best way of working it. Theie will no doubt be difficulties to face for a. time, but these will vanish be- fore the light of experience, as the. time tells on.â€"Reformcr. Our Little Ones and the Nursery. One of the most important things of the present day is that in its incipient stages of education the young mind mind should have placed before it litera- ture of a pure and high-tuned character. “ The Little Ones and the Nursery,” edited by Oliver Optic, whose name is ample security for its purity, is the journ- al that cumes nearest perfection, if it is not perfection itself in the line of pure literature for the nursery. There is some- thing of importance lacking in the nursery that is without it. Assessment Appeal. Those who intend appealing against their assessment will nut forget the fact that all appeals must be in the hands of the Clerk not later than Tuesday next, the 15th inst. Let every rstepayer see that he is entered correctly upon his slip left him by the Assessor, and if there is anything wrong appeal at once tn the clerk of the municipality, as it is much easier to have any matter rectified now than it will be when the Voters’ List is before the Judge, and much less expensive. Let all take notice. The “ Young Canadian ” Lacmsse Club has rceived a. challenge from the “ Stars” of Markham, to play a match on the grounds nf the latter on Saturday, 19th inst. The “ Young Canadians ” thought this a little to lllll], and respecsfullv de- clined, but offered to accept the challenge to play on their own ground, which was nnlv fan. The rule is that the challeng- ing party meet the challehged on the grounds of the latter. \Ve understand that the “ Stars ”have decided to come to Richmond Hill, so that match will come on Saturdav of next week. The Presbyterians of this place intend giving: their Annual Dinner and Tea on the 24th inst, in the school room of the church. The capabilities of the ladies of the Presbyterian congregation in getting up a. veretable feast needs no word of commrndation from us, as they are pro- verbial for their consummate perfection in the art. of cnokery. There is no doubt as in past years, many of those who visit Richmond Hill on that day will drop in and see our Presbyterian friends, feeling sure they will receive a hearty welcome and a good. round meal.‘ \Vith regard to the challenge of the “ Echo ” Lacrosse Club, of \Vor>dbridge, to play our boys on the 24th at \Vood- bridge. one of the club was in the village on Saturday and explained that it was not intended as a challenge, but that the English Church of that place having games, etc, nu that day, offered the club half the gate money if they would get up a. match, and therefore asked the “Young Canadians to come and play with them. The “ Young Canadians,” feeling under obligation to the “ Ech‘os ” for their assistance in their late cuncert have decid- ed to accept the iuv1tutiou as it is for the benefit of the club. On Saturday evening Hon Mr. Mac- Kenzie was waited upon by a deputation of leading Ottawa.

His sojourn in the Old Coun- try will doubtless be rendered more pleasant by the knowledge that he has in Canada thousands of friends who are never reluctant in giving substantial evidence of their appreciatinn of his great public services. Six months ago Jeremiah Dnggan, of Thornhill, sold it horse to Mr. Irwin Jen- kins, of that place, for $100. Last week a farmer from the Township of York appeared at Thornhill, and claimed the animal belonged to him, as Duggan had purchased it from him on credit. 0n inquiry this was found to be true, and as Mr. Jenkins had to deliver the horse up he felt aggravated and on Saturday visit- ed the city and laid information against Dugguu on a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. Detective Barrows was detailed to execute the warrant, and on Monday visited Thornhill, and after a long search arrested Duggan, and brought him to the city. The Commissioners of the County Property met in the Clerk’s office on Tuesday May lst. Several accounts were passed, some little time was spent. in passing the printing account: a. small re ductiuu was made and ordered paid. The Cnlmty Enginer was authorized to have the bridge at the Markham and Scurbro’ townline rebuilt. Petitions received askmg. that the Macadam be put on the York Roads in tlngfulliof the year. The Commiss'iuuers will again meet. on the 29th of May, and then tu examine the York Roads. Some repairs were orc'cered to the Court House. The Annual Dinner, Tea, and Concert, will be held in the Methodist Church of this village on the 24th inst. Meals at all hours under the supervision of the Ladies’ Aid. As there is considerable debt on the church to be provided for, the ladies hope that the public will liberally patronize them on that occasion, they will give a. first class meal for 25 cents to those who favur them With their presence and serve up the meal promptly,cheerful~ IV and with an air of politeness.

There is nothing surprising in this day of scientific detrelopment, and progress in . art and invention. v‘ We had the pleasure l a few days since of examining the merits of a very ingenious invention. It is an . elevated railway or what might be termed an air line by which the necessity of cash boys in the large retail stores may be done away with, and their place supplied by the use of a minature railway which works on purely scientific principles. The invention is in full operation in Walker (it Son’s. The Golden Lion, To- ronto, and conslsts of two lines of railway each being inclined in opposits directions, and being about four inches in width. There are balls in which are enclosed a. bill of the goods purchased and the cash and this is put on the rail- was at its station and by virtue of the incline it travels to the cashier’s office, who, after making the change, incloses it again in the same ball and puts it on the other line when it traVels back to the station from whence it came. The balls being’ of various sizes, each drops into a basket at its own station. The balls make no noise in travelling along the road. The invention is patented by a company in Philadelphia, who rent the railways out to retail firms at $20 for each station per annum. If you want to view them for yourselves call at the Golden Lion, the first place in Canada to adopt the system. Dr. S. S. Smith. of Buffalo, is visiting her mother in this village. Rev.
