They are rcquestod to bring their bible and note books with them, that they may profit to the greatest extent by those services. Changed to 8 o‘clock. By request of several persons outside of the village, the store-keepers of Richmond Hill have consented to keep their places of business open each evening till 8 o‘clock, in- l stead of 7.30 as formerly. This change has been thought advisable in order to accom- modate the farming community. Conse- quently the shutters need not be closed till 8 o'clock, when the bell will ring as a signal. Itis to ho hoped this extra half hour will give all the time necessary for business, and that places will close promptly at the ringing of the bell. Dangerous Accident. As Mr. John Clubiuo, father of Mr. Ezra J. Clubine, who resides about two miles north of this village, was driving a spirited horse to Newmnrkot on Saturday last, it be- came unmanageable and threw him out on the stone road, breaking his leg near the thigh. Several doctors were immediately sent for, but had great difficulty in setting the shattered limb. As Mr. Clubine has not a strong constitution, and being seventy- four years of age, it is feared he will not sur- vive the injuries. First Practice. The fire brigade were out last Friday evening for their first practice of the season. They made a. fine display, and attracted much attention by tLeir appearance and manner in Working the apparatus. On the word ilt'lug given, they Were soon at the tank opposite the parsonage. at the corner of Church and Centre streets, and in a few sec- onds afterwards were dashing water on the Methodist Church, and the buildings of Sanderson Bros. at the same time. Few villages the size of Richmond Hill can boast of an engine that will throw water such a. to the Corners, and will prove a great 0011- distance- ' venience to the farming community.â€" "om.

In response to a petition of rate-payers. the Reeve has set apart to-morrow (Friday) as Arbor Day in Richmond Hill. As this is the day appointed by the Minister of Educa- tion for the planting of trees in school sect- ions, there will doubtless be a grand rally from all quarters.

Starr, pastor of the Berk- Iev szreet Methodist church, gave his congre- gation a little surprise party at the evening service on Sunday. While they were stand- ing waiting for the benediction to be pro- nounced, he made a Sign to the sexton to hand him his overcoat. When it. was given to him he put it on, turning the collar up all around. Shrugging up his shoulders till his ears were bid from view, he inquired if he wasn’t a nice-looking object. While his auditors stood gazing in open-mouthed au- touishment, and wondering whether their . pastor had suddenly taken leave of his sen- ses, the latter proceeded to explain. He said that every Sunday night during the winter be had observed certain male members of his congregation make a grab for their overcoats and drag them on while the benediction was being pronounced. He thought he would show these persons what they looked like as viewed from the pulpit. Doubtless the past- or's rebuke will have the desired effect, if the remembrance of it does not wear Off be- fore the time for overcoats gets round again. â€"Ncws. Performers for Methodist Concert.

He was in excellent voice last evening and was compelled to repeat his solo, “ Usjus Animum,”i in response to What might be called an ovation." The M‘ail of Dec. 12th, 1882, says :â€"“ A verv agreeable surprise was occasioned by the singing of Miss Berryman in the aria, “ Heart the Seat of Soft Delight,” which was received with wurm expressions of approval that were well deserved.” The Strnthroy Western Despaich snys :â€"“ Mr. Fred Warriugton, of Toronto, achieved a splendid success in his first apâ€" pearance before a Strutliruy audience, and in voice, appearance and style showed himself a vocalist of rare accomplishment and merit."

Fire-Brigade Meeting. The Richmond Hill Fire-brigudo met in the Council Chamber on Friday evening last for tho transucti in of business, the Cup- tuin iu the chair. After the minutes of the last meeting, April 10th, were read und con- firmed, tho vurious clauses of the By-Luws which had been revised, were taken up sei‘i. atini, and several important changes were made. It was decided that the membership of the Brigade should not exceed fifty, ex- elusive of officers. It was also decided that members not answering to their names at roll call for three consecutive regular moot- ings should have their names struck from the list, except in case of sickness, or {or reasons satisfactory to the brigade. Accord- ing to the new By-laws, nine members will be required to form a quorum, instead of seven as formerly. The By-luws were after- wards adopted as revised. Firemen McMa- hon and Nicholls reported that, according to instructions they had asked the village Coun- cil to pay for refreshments furnished to firemen after being on duty at fires. The request was granted. Mr. A. Moodie lender- eu’ his resignation. On motion of Fireman Linklaler, seconded by Fireman Storethe resignation was accepted and Mr. Moodic was enrolled as an Honorary member. Messrs. Alex. McKenzie and John Kenners- ley were proposed by Firemen Trench and C. Storey respectively. and accepted as fire- men.

The following noted talent has been secured at great espouse :â€"l\lrs. Caldwell, Toronto. leading soprano of Canada ; Mrs. Adiiinson, violinist, graduate of Leipsic Con=ervutury. Germany ; Mr. Suns Richards. universally acknowledged the best tenor in Toronto; Mr. Kelly, UOllillg‘VUJd, baritone, will once more delight, 9. Richmond liill audience with his sweet singing and guitur accompaniments. Mr. J. D. Kerrison, from School of Art and Musrc, Toronto, accompanist for the evening. This will undoubtedly be the treat of the season, as neither trouble nor expense will be spared to make it. a success. The New York Mercury speaks of Mrs. Caldwell a.- folluws :-â€"" The Dow Concert of the 10th was a great success. The singing of Mrs. Caldwell, Hamilton, Canada. was the crown- ing part of the entertainment. She has a magnificent voice of great compass, and as sweet as a nightingale." The Toronto Globe says :â€"“ The singing of ‘ Qui lu. Vocc ’ by Mrs. Caldwell, of Hamilton, was one of the best efforts ever heard in Toronto this sea- son, and was loudly encored.” Lockport Daily Union says :â€"" Mrs. Caldwell has one of the finest. and best. cultivated soprano voices we have ever board. She was ex- tremely pleasing in her selections, but when it came to the “ Cuckoo Song ” the audience was completely euruptured.” The Amphoin, Detroit, says :â€"“ Mrs. Caldwell mude her Dori-mt debut at. this time. Her voice is a. peculiar one, being, even in its entire oom- pass, very sweet, pure, sympathetic, flexible in the highest degree and of ti ue intonation. It. reminds us of Di Mursku‘s more than any we’ve yet heard. She sings without any effort whatever, a pleasing attribute, which some of our noted prima dounas lack. She took'high F apparenth with great ease, not just touching it staccato like, nor running up the scale to it, but jumped a fourth from C up to F and dwelt there. There is a for- tune in her voice and we would advise good first-cluss managers to invostigute and see." The Guelph Mercury in speaking of Mr. Kelly, says :â€"“ Mr. Charles Kelly surprised everyone with the depth and richness of his powerful basso voice. In ‘ Hybrids the Cretan ' he was afforded an excellent oppor- tunity to show his great range. He received the most spontaneous and enthusiastic en- core of the evening, and responded with an- other soug." The Lindsay Post says :â€" “ The attraction of the evening was undoubt- edly Mr. Chus. Kelly, of Brampton. Mr. Kelly is well known in Lindsay. With his magnificent voice and compass he possesses a. fine stage appearance. His songs, ‘ King and Miller’ and encore, ‘ Sailing,‘ and in the second part, ‘ Sunlight of our Home,‘ were warmly applauded, and the audience would not be sailsficd until Mr. Kelly had respond- ed. Mr. Kelly’s nruno will he as a towar of strength on any Lindsay programme of the future,” Brampton Conservator :â€"“ A duet ‘ 'l‘lie Fisherman,’ by Mrs. Caldwell and Mr. 0. Kelly, was rendered in magnificent style, the sweet clear and warbling notes of the so» prauo blending in unison with the deep, rich and full notes of the bass. They received a hearty encore. Mr. Kelly has improved very much since he lust sang in Brampton and may now be regarded as one of the very best basso singers in the Dominion. Mr. Kelly has ever been a lavorite with audiences in Brampton, and in fact is such wherever he goes.” - Fast Color Prints, at 4%c. 5c. In order to get the - AT PR £ . 6c. 7C.
