The Agricultural Society has secured the services of the Downsview band for their fair. Of course “ they only engag- ed it to encourage the members of it not that they expect to, or will derive any benefit from their services.” Everybody Cackled. A Woman returning from market got into a. stcet car the other day with a basket full of dressed poultry. To her <‘3he driver, speaking sharply, said. ‘4‘Farcl" “No,” S‘tla the woman, “ fowl 2” And every body cackled- VCou'nty Council. A very important session of the York County Council will be held in June, commencing on the t2th. The Court House Question “ill probably be settled then and other matters of importance ”will occupy the attention of the Council. The Opposne Side' “ Beg pardon, sir, but could~hic~~you tell me which is the other side of the street I?” “ Why, that side, sir” (pointing across). “ Mosh oblish.

Charles Iauson, who was arres(ed and ~tried at Aurora, last week for having stolen goods in po. isiou, was convicted and fined 8) 0‘0 and costs and one month in goal. He will be tried at the next court of Quarter Sessions for having an illicit still in his possession. W‘E‘arlier than Usual. Owing: to the Queen’s Birthday falling 1 ionr regular publishing day, we publish a day earlier than usual this week. which will account for the dearth of Local news This also explains our referances to the With as future instead of past, as the date of this issue would indicate. “ They‘s all the feet I’ve got.” ”Willie has a four~year»old sister Mary, who complained to Mainma that her button boots were hurling her. “ Why, hiattie, you’ve put them on the wrong feet.” Puzzled and ready to cry, she made answer : “ What/ll I do, Mamma‘? They’s all the feet l’ve got." Liberal. On Saturday evening the Band sere- naded Mr. John Duncan, who has lately become a citizen of our village, and he presented lhcni with 535, which the boys approriatc as a; token of good will. Mr. Duncan said that whatever others might' .do he would ant'i‘ go back on them. Another Election Case. \Vearc informed that \Vln. Henry Vallear, of Toronto, has sued TrIl'. Jas. C. Stokes. for $20fl penalties under the Statute 27 Vic. (,..ji. 9, and amendments thereto, in connection with the hlnlot‘k and Anderson election last done. A like action has been taken against Mr. its. Anderson, by the same parties.~ b’cuim'r. Royal Celebration. Cookstowi. is going in for a right royal celeb on on the Queen’s; Birthday. It isl vine; lioiso races, foot races, egg i'ac , sat-h runes, wheelbi‘irrmv races, fat man’s races, Lacrosse matches, shooting :na‘.ches,calitliumpian procession, jingling matches and even catching the greased pig, the prize for which is the pig itself. I We did think the days of greased pigs I were passed. Nearly a Fire. On Tuesday afternoon, about 3 o’CIOCR, the chimney of THE LIBERAL oflice took fire, and the heat becoming very great it was thought wise to ring an alarm. The Fire Company, with all appliances were at the place in an incredible short time, and ready for work. The fire had not been communicated to any wood, but the intense heat made it necessary to bring the engine into play. It was soon con- trolled, and no damage was done save a severe flooding with water and chopping of the roof and ceiling. In Durance Vile. The farmer Chas. Ianson, arrested ‘ last week for having an illict whiskey still on his premises near Aurora, is now in the Toronto Goal. This case will be heard at the next Court of Quarter Sess ions, Mr. N. Murphy has been retain- ed as counsel for the Inland Revenue Department. It is understood that Ianson claims that the still is an old one, and was never used by him. The fine imposed by the magistrate in Aurora was beyond their power and was not collect- ed. Indignant. Some of the members and directors of the Agricultural Society hole are indigâ€" nant at the course pursued in getting the posters printed in Toronto and do not hesitate to express their indignation. They say that the Fair is gotten up by Richmond Hill and for Richmond Hill, and as long as the work can be done at home it should not be taken to Toronto, and express surprise that the Secretary should take such a course, and ascribe it to partisan feeling. \Ve would say, how- ever, that the Secretai‘yggives a portion of the woik to this office. A Riddle. Me thought before me lately stood A strange promiscous multitude : Some great~some small, Some shortâ€"~some tall, Some poor. some middling and some good. In all this concouise there appeared, No sign of tumult ; Or was heard One voice in whisper, Yet there were some of all professions there â€"-llivines, Lawyers and Physicians, l'oets, Philosophers and Politicians. Much they knew, or seemed to know, Appeared reserved, but were not so, In short you need but look within theirface To tell their name, birth, parentage. Tell what 1 saw, foi this great wonder still Each day is to be seen at Richmond Hill. A LI~Qan TEA LIBRARY. 300 volumes of the above have been presented to purchasers of Li-Quor Tea by the Coniprny’s Agent, Mrs. Harrison. Music! Musicl Music! Judging from the present indications, it would seem that our village is going to be pertemly resonant with music on the Queens Birthday. Dame rumor says that not less than four bands Will fling to the floating breeze their melodeous strains in wild and blissful harmony on that day. The lticinnoud Hill hand will play at the Grand Cruiral ll otcl, Mr. Palmer of the l’almor llouse has engaged the Aurora Band to discourse the charming for the day, we have not heard what band Mr. Brilliugorofthe lloyal is having, and the A17 icultural Society has engaged the services of the Downsview band. Thus it is to be SUCH that the Hotels are enter- ing into cmnpctiiion willi the Agricul- tural Socioiy and the Churches, as to which will draw the largest crowds. All that is nchsai-y now to Complete the rivalry on that day is for each of the churches is to obtain the services of a hand. Then this town will be supplied with music.

On Saturday last the " Young Cauad~ ian ” Lacrosse Club, of this place met the " Star ” Club, of Markham, on the field of conflictâ€"tho grounds of the former. we really think it was to b.1-(l for our boys to so utterly demolish the ‘ Stars.’ The Victory was simply a walk over for the “ Young Canadians,” they proving their superior skill in taking three straight games, the entire time spent in playing being only about thirteen minutes. There was, however. time for the cxliibibtion of some fine playing an the part of some of our boys and also one or two of their opponents. The captain of the “ Stars ” is a tine player, which is equalled by the captain of the “ Young Canadians,” A. Pugsley. A friendly game was after- ward arranged by the two captains choos- ing sides. A return match Will be play- ed at Markham in about. two or three weeks. A game is being arranved with the “ Eclios ” of \Voodbridge, to take place in a couple of weeks. DIED.

Patterson. ovâ€"h EMERY ,GOsSIP, (From our own Correspondent.) \Ve have a new teacher in our school here now. The former one being attend- ing the examination at Toronto Univer- sity Tile church choir is improving rapidly. The addition of Mr. Speed to its number is a step in the right direction. The bass can be heard along with the other parts, making it more agreeable to the ear. Mr. Lennchan has sold his house and lot in Thistleton to Mr. E. Cave, and moved to \Veston. The inhabitants of the former place being too noisy during the night for his rest and comfort. It is an old saying “ that morning air is good for the health.” If this be true, there are several of our young men who will derive the benefits. They go out on Sunday evening and return on Monday morning just at the peep of day. We would uarn those where they frequent to be prepared, for such acts are not pursu- ed time and again without a deep mean- ing. Some of them travel towards the Aurora Borealis, others towards the west to view the setting of the sun. â€"â€"_~_..9â€"_. WESTON. (From Cur own Correspondent) FIRE â€"A Blaze occured in the \Vollen Mill on Wednesday the 9th inst. caused by the friction of one of the machines. The fire spread with great rapidity, but being in the day time and plenty of help it. was confined to the room in which it originated. The loss will amount to several hundred dollars, which is fully covered by insurance. SUPPER AND PRESENTATION â€"Mr. and Mrs. Shuttleworth, on the eve of their departure to \Vinuipeg, were iiiVited to a supper prepared by the members of Star Lodge, I. 0. G. T.. in theirLodue Room. Justice having been done to the good things, a very handsome Photograph Album was presented to Mrs. Shuttle- worth, as a slight recognition of her un- wearied efforts in the cause of Temper- ance in the village. A pleasant evening was spent. Mr. and Mrs. S. have the good wishes of their many friends, for success in their new home. RE)I()VAL~â€"Messrs. Cruickshauk zt' Sons are busy removing into their new premises, which, when in full working order, will be one of the most extensive Wagon and Carriage shops in the coun- try. The wood shop is 36 by 40 feet, four storeys high. The Iiiachinery which is all new, is driven by a never failing supply of water. The Show room is 75 long by 36 feet. The paint shop is on the second floor. This building stands fronting on Main Street, about 50 feet from the wood shop. The black- smith sliop, is a one storey building, stands along side the show room. The premises are nwarly in the centre of the village, and previously known as the MeDougall Mills, where the proprietors will be glad to attend to the wants of their customers. DISTINGUISHED ARRIVALâ€"Michael Lenv nnahan, said to be the most litigious man in the Township of Etibicoke, has confered on \Veston, the honor of becom- ing one of its citizens. During:r the past fifteen or twenty years Michael has devoi- ed his leisure time to the somewhat dil’li- cult task of straigtening,v the crooked ways of his neighbors with a persistancc no doubt begotten of the belief that he. was performing a labor of love. His efforts, hon ever, as in the case of many patriotic and well meaning men who have gone before, have generally been by infinite trouble and no little expense but he faltered not. nor dreamed of utter defeat until about two weeks ago, he undertook to reform some of the younger members of the community around Thistleton by having them fined and bound over to the peace. Unfortunately for Michael, however, the binding over : had not the desired effect, the result being the formation of a secret organiza- tion on the ()‘Douovan ltossa principle, substitutingr broken boulders for dyna- mite with which they nightly ucar inidâ€" night stormed the Lennahau citidvl. No great damage was done to the fort, but the noise caused by the bombardment was soterritic that the yairison after, a few nights, capitalatcd and were allowed to leave with the honors at war The house and lot belonged to Mr. Lenuahau whichl hear he has sold at a glad to get rid of it at any price. . 7â€". w.» *\anon are rapidly finding placesin the learned prolcssions and the more lucerative occupations from which they were formerly excluded.
