RICHMOND HILL, FRIDAY, June 1, Careless Driving. t On Monday morning While Brown’s Bread waggon was standing on Yonge St, opposite Mr. McConaghy’s, a. man. with a load of hay drove carelessly against it, and did considerable damage. He drove on and paid no attention, though he knew what he had done. Dr. McCran, representative of the medical firm af Drs K. &, K., at Detroi', 'was at the Palmer House on Wednesday, when a number of the villagers called on him to see what was the matter with them, and we believe a few took a. course of treatment. Presiding Exammership. J. A Sturgeon Stewart has been asked if he will accept the appointment of the Government to the Presiding Examiner- ship far the approaching Intermediate, Second and Third Class examinations. The appomtment will shortly be made. Since the introduction of the warmer weather the foliage on the trees and shrubs is coming out at. very rapid rate. Almost every day the advancement is noticeable. A few more days and trees and field‘s alike will have assumed a thoroughly summer aspect. 179112 (gig/mm. Woodbndge vs. Richmond Hill. ABOUT HUME.

It is Well that this should be widely known, and henceforth let any lady who spends more than $9,- 500 per annum in dress be accused of a failure to “ acrimp.” The “ decayed vegetable matter ” which is scraped ofl' Yonge Street by ord- er of the Overseer every Spring and Fall is capable of baking as hard. almost as brick butts. This is the experience of those who have used it as a. manure for their gardens in this village. as they are willing to testify. This is strong eviden- oe in favor of our contention and incon- tradiction of the theory advanced by the County Engineer in the controversy as to the advisability of scraping Yonge Street. 'I‘heChairman stated that the object of the 111eetinLg was to consider the course taken by Mr “Yntsnn lst Ass t Teacher. There ‘beilw nothilm definite before the Board no lesignation havimr been tender- ed, the matter was informally discussed. From the discussion it appears that Mr. YVatson called on several members of the Board and informed each that he had the consent of all others, and stated that the school cnnlgl vex __y well spare him, as the law, first for disturbing and breaking up a congregatinn at worship, and likewise for an assault on a young lady.” adgrpced; The large number ofi ladies who daily visit the stores of Petley & Petley are not only pleased and delighted with the handsome new premises and fine light, but they are more than surprised at the very low prices at which they are selling their large stock of rich and fashionable silks, dress goods, hosiery, gloves, laces. ribbons, corsets, embroideries, fancy goods, etc.,-and with the magnificent dis- play of elegant and fashionable millinery now in stock at that well-known and popular establishment; Small Pox. This terrible disease has broken out at Claremont, a village lying about fifteen miles almost directly east of Richmond Hill, or in a. due easterly line with Elgin Mills. The Village is a. principal point on the Ontario and Quebec Railway, and as it is the head qmuters for many of she navies, it is probable that it is owing to the fact that the disease has broken out. A large number of foreigners are quarter- ed there. Nurses and other necessaries have been despatched from Toronto by the Secretary of the Provincial Board of Health. Some forty years ago, in the Township of Markhm'n, Jake. went one Sunday night to see Susie. They were sitting one on each side of the old fashioned fire place, fully six or eight feet apart. Jake’s heart “ent pitty-pat. He couldn’t muster courage to get an inch nearer Susie. At last Susie startled Jake by saying: “ Quit pinching me ! ” Jake alarmed, replied: “ I ain’t pinching yon ! ” “ Well, don’t you intend to ! ” “ No. I don’t.” “Then, Jakeoyou had betotr take your hat and start for home.” â€"and he started. But the affair got out someway and Jake never heard the last of that Sunday night’s courtship. ' \ ' A Scene in Church. It is not often in these days of en- lightenment and religious liberty, and in this land of civilization, such scenes as the following occur in the place of wor- ship. The Bradford papers relate the following incident: “At Clnist’ 3 Church, Middleton, on Sunday morning, 13th ult. during the service, the Rev. Mr. Beli said that one of the Church-wardens had requested him to forbid the singing of the responses to the Commandments in the Ante-Communion service ; but that as they had been sung ever since he had become incumbent of the Parish, and as he knew that many of the congregation desired it, they would sing them that day, and before the next Holy Communion Day. he (Mr. Bell) would ascertain the mind of each member and act according to the wish of the majority. Mr. Bell then proceeded with the service, but as soon as the first response was be- ing sling, Mr. Davis Stoddart jumped out of his seat, rushed -at the organist, Miss Curler, pushed her off her seat and shut down the organ. Miss Carter open» ed the organ again, when Mr. Stoddart a'rain pushed her aside and closed the organ with \iolence, took his seat on the closed orrrztn. The Rev. Mr. Bell asked if there was a. magistrate present, but finding there was not, dismissed the con- gregation. The uproar and confusion during all this affair may be better im- Mined than described Mr, Stoddart has undoubtedly laid himself open to the The School Board met on above date, Mr. Marsh in the chair.

The Head Master stated that he had told Mr. Watson that it was a most inopportune time to leave. and it simply meant the plucking of three or fqur candidates. VRev.[ Campbell, 'seconded by Mr. Duncan, moved that Mrs. McBride be engaged for the remainder of the term as First Assistant. Teacher, and that the sum of $75 be paid her for her services. â€"-Carried. ' Mr. Crosby, seconded by Mr. Teefy, moved that Mr. Watson’s engagement be cancelled and the Secretary be instructed to inform him to that effect and ask him by what authority he left. This motion was withdrawn by the mover with the consent of the seconder. Mr. Duncan, seconded by Mr. moved that the verbal resignation given to several members of the Board be ac- cep ted. As no member acknonledged having received a verbal resionation no action was taken 1n the matter, and it was thought better to give Mr. Watson a. severe letting alone Mr. McBride made a statement of the expenses connected with the Local Ex- amination for Women, in Richmond Hill High School, which would amount to $30.00. and having raised a. portion of the amount by subscription, asked the 1503111 for an appropriation of $18.00.
