Richmond Hill and vicinity as responded to our appeal year afteryear with a generous liherulity which seems almost incredible when we consider the many calls for help madeundnr people during the winter months. But suffering childhood appeals to each heart with a peculiar tenderness which has heretofore hieught a. hearty res onse. Donu- tions of fruit. eggs, boo s, to s, &c., &c., will be thankfully receive by the committee at THE LIBERAL Olfice on Good Friday morning. Offerings will be. packed and sentto the Hospital on Saturday in order that the little ones may have their Easter morning glad- dened by a, my of loving sunshine fronnour village. “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the, least of these. ye have done it unto me.” SPELLING MATCH.

Two or three years ago the Toronto News was considered only as a bright, nowsy. enterprising paper that might, or might not make headway in the over crowded field of journalism. but by some miracle. for such it must he. The Toronto News has sprung into renter prominence than any Cana- (ian paper. So great a circulation it has attained. that the one dollar a year daily is now no longer striving for increased circulation, but is lying, asit were, upon its {ours and tnkin in the subscript-ions of one dollar pai in advance for a year. as the fruitsof past labors. A daily paper for one dollar a year is indeed a great boon to the country, and the success of The Toronto News is another proof of thenld adage, “Nothing succeeds like success." (a) Dvlvgute‘s tn C.
