Good Friday evening Richmond Hill Mnsrrnic Hull will witness the most amusing and refined entertainment that has for years been seen in a villuge of its size.

(a) A Magazine of influence. The enormous circulation of such a mags- zine as The Ladies' Home Journal can, in a dense. be understood when H is said that during the last. six months of 1395 there were printed, sold. and circulated, over four million copies-â€"(iu exact figures 4,058,891). Figures such as these give one some idea of the influence which may be exerted by even a single one of the modern magnziues. Movements of Hiâ€"llites. The Willowdale correspondent of The Lender and Recorder says: â€"“ Mr. Harold H. Gibson, 0. L. 8., C. F... has entered into contract with L.

Appeal Against Assessment. East Gwillimbury bavgiu appealed against the equalized as~easment of that township. representatives of the various municipalities in the county ware called together on Thurs- day last to see what could be done in the mutter. After holding a session an ad- journment wos mode to allow the county judge to collect information from the clerks and from other sources. The representativas will meet ngnin next. Wednesdny in Toronto. It is expcclected that the. assessment of the whole county will have to be taken up. All the assessors for the different municipalities have been summoned to appear. Judge McDougail is presiding, and it is expected that the work will take several days. Unless a municipality has a real grievance it is un- fortunate that an appeal should be made against the assessment of the equalization committees, as naturally the expenses will be heavy.
