County Council an d Exemp- tion. To the Editor of True LIBERAL: Sis,â€"My attention has been directed to an editorial in your issueof Dec 11th, in which it. is stated that the County Coun- cil iuude a mistake in recommending the exeiiiptu-u of schools and churches from taxation ; and an exlilniiation is asked, of the motives which prompted said uciioli Here it is : It will be granted that schools are indispensable in our social fabric : that they benefit all, rind therefore should be maintained by all. Now, suppose a. rutepuyer in Richmond Hill pay;. a tax of twenty dollars fur all purposes ; would he be relieved in any measure by dividing the tax thus :â€"- Nineteen dollars on real Hnd personal property, and one dollar on the school P The Council answered, No, and, I think, correctly. We can imagine one keeping an uccount current between his tw0 pockets, which might. satisfy his whim, but never could [finite the ilidivid. usl richer or poorer. Regarding a tax on churches the ques- tion is not quite so clear, because the util- ity of churches is not universally conced- ed. Perhaps one in a hundred is an infi- del, and argues glibly enough that it is unfair to tax him for Christian institu- tions of which be disapproves, and from which he derives no benefit. But is be taxed for churches ‘l Certainly he is not. The Methodists lately built a very expen- sive church in Richmond Hill Ull which they puv no tax. Did the building of that church raise the rate of tiiitz-itlon in the village l Not a cent. It may, indeed. be argued that the site on which the church stands being exempt from taxation the general rate is thereby raised. Bear in mind, however, that the County Coun- cil did not recoiiimoiid the exemption of church sites. but churches. If it be urged that the church. having added so many thousands to the real estate of the corporation, the general lax ought there~ fore to be lowered, the answer is :‘Unly u. mean selfiin person Would take advan- tage of the liberalin of others to snvo his own purse ,ztiid Bering that those who built the church derive no pecuniary belie- tit from their outlay, neither should those who refuse to contribute derive :1 pecuni- airy benefit from [but which costs them nothing.

I have thus stated some of the reasons which prompted the County Council to recommend the exemption of schools and churches from taxation ;and I now sell you most respectfully to publish them, as an ant nfjnstice to the Council, and that the public may have an opportunity of judging. Ronznr BRUCE. Gormley, Dec. 19th, 1884. o The cheapest medicine in use is Dr. Thomas' Eclectric Oil, because so very little of it is required to efl'ect a. cure. For croup. diphtheria, and diseases of the lungs and throat. whether used for bathing the chest or throat. for taking in- ternnlly or inhaling, it is a matchless com- pound. BILLIARDS, To the Editor of the Lmsnun Sir,â€"-Aa one snterested in the welfare of our young people, allow me to express my approval of the noble stand you have taken in the LIBERAL against the propos- ed Bllllfll’d Parlor. As a village we have none without such a questionnble institu- tion for more than fifty years, and there are many of our citizens who are interest- ed in the present and future of our youth who think that it is quite possible for us to do without it for many years to come. The Billiard Table in admitted by all thoughtful and intelligent men to have a demoralizing tendency, that it is an ad- junct of hotels, and column, where pro- prietors use it as an advertising agent to allure the young and unwary who thus attracted are induced to take their first steps toward immorality and vice. as its comcoinitauts are betting, gambling and drinking. In nil our large cities, Hilliard tables have lowered the tone of society until almost every Public House is not considered furnished, unless one is pro- vided with such, to attract custom. Apart from its aseociation,perhapa it may be allowed that there is little harm in a game of billiards, but excitement is. natu- ral to man; but few are content. to play for the suite of pastime, and stakes of some kind, either money or drinks, are ventured. the passion for winning by chance grows, larger stakes are put up and the excitement becomes more in- tense. To gratifv this passion for gain, Billiard tn.th have increased to hundr- eds in Toronto, there are 6000 in New York, 4000 in Philadelphia, and 1000 in Ciiicniiiutti and in every city they are on the increase. The establishment of one paves the way for the introduction of another and loss of character and degra- dation has been the terrible experience of l thousands of young men who have un- thinkineg placed themselves under their baneful influences. I thoroughly believe in every one of us having his iullshare of fun, merriment and laughter, and making good use of all ahe faculties, mental and physical, God has given us to live happy and enjoy life, but prudence, as well as wisdom, sug- gests the selection of pleasures which leave no sting behind, and recreations that do not mar our capacity for future enjoymentjor however harmless in them- selves come of these places of recreation may be, there are associations formed and habits contracted by frequenting them, whose influence sways a lifetime niid iitiperils an immortal soul. Surely there are facilities enough in our midst for placing temptations to evil in the wny of the young, enough to make many a mother's heart tremble for her boy, enough to counteract the good iii- flueiices of our churches and Sabbath Schools, without adding a billiard table to increase tho iinxiety of parents, who are desirous of (ruining up their children in the habits of friigulitv and honesty. or another source of evil for the friends of religion and morality to contend against. If ways of plucuig temptation iii the way of young people are multiplied it must militate against the best interests of our village. for parents at a distance will hesitate to semi their boys for lll- l structioii where educutioiinl institutions um l'lll‘l'olllitlt‘il by pitfalls of danger, and the well Known difficulty of sliutaiutng ulll‘ associations for mental and moral training Will be greiilly iiicmzised.

About this bird of evil omen who lice swooped down on our Village, I have nothing to say, he is a stranger to me, but if any man has Rbility enough to make a respectable umbrella huwlrcr, or brain slifliicient for a skillful scissor-I grinder, or even muscle to shoulder a street organ. either would be a much more legitimate Calling for any man to follow, and in- finitely more honest than running any kind of apparatus for the purpose of fleec- ing a few young men out of their mom, time and characterr. Wit. Hartman. Richmond Hill, Dec. 30m, 1384. No time like the present for seeking medicinal aid, when what are foolishly called ‘miiior ailments’ manifest them- selves. There are no ‘minor’ ailments. Every symptom is the herald of a disease, every lapse from a state of health should be remedied at once, or disastrous con- sequences are likely to follow. Incipient dyspepsia, slight costiveness, a tendency to biliousiiess, should be promptly counv terncted with Northrop Jr. Lynisn’a Vege- table Dilcovery and great Blond Purifier, and the system thus shielded from worm consequences.
