A short time ago, the Mail newspaper was loudly boasting of its circulation, the number of its advertisements and general prosperity. The editor of that journal assured its readers that its bed was made entirely of roses. He laid special stress on the fact (?) that the Mail's good fortune was simply part of the prOSpcrity which blessed the whole country. How changed its language when it proposed to reduce the wages of the printers. Then was heard only a bewailiug of excessive competition, great depression in business. and oi all those ills from which even news- papers are not exempt. The joke was plain to the most obtuse. The Typos not only saw it, but they eu- joyed it heartily. We have not yet learned how it struck the wealthV, prosperous and happy Mail. PO'HI' PEER Y FIRE. The best remedy for carelessness is undoubtedly misfortune, and for continued carelessness continued misfortune. It would be too much to expect that the people of Port Perry are now in a mood lor wise saWS. It is easy to be philosophical in out views of the past and of the future, but the philosophy that can copewith the trOubles of the present isextremely rare. Port Perry must now put up with the bitter the best it may; long enough has it enjoyed the questionable sweetness of an al- most criminal remissness, of a lalse economy, and of a false security. In the face ofdirect losses amount- ing to nearly two hundred thousand dollars, the saving effected by doing without two 0: three good fire-en- gines must now surely appear mean and ruinous. However, 1n these Emahters,each place is a law unto 1t- self; and it is for us to ascertain at once it our law offers sufficient pro- .tectiou fron’l a similar calamity. We ‘haye an engine, pronounced by all utolibe agood one ; We have a fire-bri- gade, not only efficient, but even zealoudy efficient. The weak spot ’istthe water supply. Have we an adequate number of tanks? Do they always contain water enough ? If these questions can be anSWered in the affirmative, there is reasonable ground to believe that a disaster such as lately betel] Port Perry, is notlikely to befall Richmond Hill. It would be superfluous to warn our villagers that a very small fire, ifnot promptly extinguished, speedily be- comes a wild confiagration. It can- not be too strongly impressed on all minds how absolutely necessary to safety is abundance oi‘available wa- ter. No one will deny that econo- my is a great source of income ', let us not, on that account, play the part of men who are a penny wise and a‘pound foolish. lence was resorted to; a rug place. but it has seemingly behind a single trace of m; behind a single trace at mahgnity. \\'e do not propose to argue the question of Trades-Unions. Vol- umes have been written on the much-vexed subject, but unanimity of opinion is as remote as ever. Still it may be said, without fear of serious contradiction, that strikes do not spring from the exercise of fair play in balancing hours of work and amount of wages. Whenever we find that capital and labor are at variance, there is almost sure to be oxergrasping on one Side or the other. "EDGELT I was in hopes of being able to report a complete success for our base ball team in their recent match with \Voodbridge,after seeing the exhibition match which our club played at the pic-mic on Saturday, June 28th. But sad to say our village was doomed t0 disappointment, for with the return of our team came the news that our men were defeatedâ€"bldly deâ€" feated-â€"0nly scuring some seven runs to Woodbridge’s fiftv six. “ All’s~ well that ends well.” The courtship mentioned last week has been aneceeded by a. marriage, The facts are thege, as near as I could glean: A party of emigrants arrived about three weeks agn from Ireland and Were staying with a farmer \vhu lives not many miles imm here, one of them being a young girl.

Acquaintance, courtship, engagement and marriage between parties who had never seen each other before, all done up in less than three weeks. Beat it who can.. ‘ Mr. L.
