\Ve trust we will not be considers ed in the light of a hraggarts or be accused of assuming too much importance, when we say that Rich- ‘ mond Hill, in many respects. and for various reasons, is one of the handsomest villages in our fair prov- ince. Situated, as it is, on a rising Diece of ground. sloping gradually in all directions, with its elegant buildings erected in the most mod- ern styles, and surrounded on all sides by a rich soil which cannot be beaten for agricultural purposes, is it at all to be wondered at. that strangers passing through. and people visiting us, should pronounce it one of the most favored spots on earth, To persons of limited means, who are desirous of securing for their children a good education, Richmond Hill furnishes the best of advantages in its High and: Public Schools, the former being unden the management of three Md" the latter under four efficient teachers. In re- gard to its churchesuthree are hand- some structuresh and one espec1ally, cannot be equalled by any north of the city of Toronto. Not the less can we say oftheir Sabbath Schools, which are under the supervision of earnest superintendents. who are doing a noble work ; and it isa no- ticeable fact that its moral tone com- pares more than favorably with the surrounding v.illages._ u-‘ RICHMOND HILL.

Taking into considerationiits high location, its good drainage” and its abundant supply ol‘water, it is need- less to say thatgasa rnchit is free from epidemics. Itsyfire protection is such. that insurance companies are enabled to. accept lower. rates from their. policy-holders than in many othenplaces. It is true, its situation is not. immediately on a line of railway, but it possesses the advantage of two first-class stage lines, one of, which connects with the Northern Railway, meeting all trainsLand‘the other runs daily di- xect to Tiorontm But with all its advantages spok- en of above,. and numerous others that might be mentioned. our village is notmaking strides as rapidly as might be desired. To say that the village has not greatly im- proved in appearance, and that real estate has not increased in value during the last few years, would bevaltogether untrue, but the improvements, to a. great extent, have been confined to business places and houses occupi- ed by their real owners. We think a, little more enterprise might be shown in another direction,‘ which wouldbe a source of profit to those who embarked in it. and a boon to our village generally. We refer to the buildingxofsommodious houses, either to,rent.or; to sell. This want has longbeen felt-,and. we wonder some ofour business men who have means._do.noh take the matter under consideration.

Ereqpently do we hear. such people making inquiries for: a comâ€" fortable residence, but to no eflect, and it isno uncommon thing for me- chanics to give up their. situations. not being. able to obtain fitting ac- commodationsfor their wives and families. There are goodisites on some of the main streets where nice dwell- ings could be built,_and we have no doubt that houses which would‘rant for seven, eight. or nine dollars“ per month would pay good interestx for the money invested. This isa mat» ter worthy olconsideration. and we earnesily hope for the good of the village, and‘for; those who wish to make their homes among us, our suggestion will be acted upon. Homes for Saleâ€"W. J. Manson Noticeâ€"Jacob Baker. Ghanaâ€"Wm. Atkinson. In all communities of men,_it has eVer been a custom to publicly testi- ty their approbation of any extra- ordinary services rendered to the state by one of their number. It may be generally accepted that the custom is good, in so far as it- serves as an incitement both to legitimate personal ambition and to arduous labor for the common weal. At times, it is true, the cxpicssimz of approval is marred, and beepincs THE MOWAT DEMONSTRATION NEW ADVERTISEMENTS RICHMOND HILL. on the sacrifices made by those who enter the public arena. Men are not forced to compete in the loud» roaring lists of life. The course, indeed, may be dusty even to suffo- cation, but they are. in the very outset, as fully cognizant of the dis- agreable as of the pleasant. lf. then, the plaudits ofthe people, and the excitement of the race. with all the attendant glory and reward, be no snffictent compensation. consola- and satisfaction must be sought for in the pure. disinterested commen- dation of Duty, ‘stern daughter of the voice of God.‘ And. after all, hers is the only praise worth striving for, although we seldom think so, until the great ocean of Eternity begins to boom on our ears. dangerous to political honesty and morality, from the choice of means made to manifest it. Thus, in spite of exceptions, more apparent than real, no man should be encouraged by a gift of house, land or money. It the cares of office be great, so also are its honors and emoluments. Far too much rubbish has been talked In the manner selected to recog- nize the masterly ability, and the indefatigable zeal and industry, dis- played by the Hon. Oliver Mowat in the now celebrated Boundary Award dispute, crowned, as they were, by victory. a public demon- stration, provincial in its compre- hensiveness. was unexceptionable in itsell, and the very best that could have been adopted. Its success was in proportion to the merits of its subject. And, indeed, it stands unique in its kind, from its numeri- cal strength, from its enthusiasm, ‘from the purity of its purpose, and from the completeness with which it represented the provmce special- ly concernedâ€"Ontario. At the sight ofthat splendid, far-stretching processron, the voice, which has so long been.vomiting torth the vilest garbage and. ribaldriym received a check soviolentrthat‘, already it has begun to whine out apologies.

Oliver Mowaton the ungrecedented testi- mony which he has received of On- tario'sappreciation of his services in fightinga battle which but for the sinister scheming of the Ottawa Government would never have tak- en place. We congratulate our Province that the exigencies of mad partizanship have not yet rotted out all probity and all patriotism. And if the spirit in which this struggle has been carried on, if the spirit in which our triumph has been ac- knowledged, be an earnest of future political life in Canada, we foresee the speed“ ayproach of the day when a blow struck at our country's honor will be rum to the striker, and an attempt to rob it of its rights will be regarded as the act of a scoundrelwand a, traitor.
