North York Statiscics Nine births and nine deaths were recorded at the North York township offices in Willowdale during January No Marriages were registered. Streets Very Icy The soft spell this week transform- ed Yonge Street into an icy speedway on Tuesday and motorists experienced grave difficulties. Thornhill hill and lHogg-S Hollow hills presented great 'difficulties and many found themselv- es either across the radial tracks or in the ditch. No serious accidents were reported, but many suffered broken fenders and wheels. The radial cars ‘at one time were delayed for a half- hour owing to motors unable to run off the tracks. An attempt to place Cinders on the hill to meet the situa- tion did not prove any too successful. Sidewalks were glare ice and even the most sophisticated of pedestrians de- serted them and took the broad high- way. Some energetic youths from Newtonbrook skated up Yonge Street to Richmond Hill. . Sutton Won In a Cup Challenge game at Sutton 'on Monday night, Richmond Hill Hoc- key team was defeated by a score of 6-3. Sutton started off with a brilli- ant dash and scored four goals in the first period; Richmond Hill came on the ice in the second determined to overcome this formidable lead and were successful in scoring three goals. Kenny Blanchard was responsible for :two and Lyle Grant registered one counter. In the final period Sutton scored two making the final score 6-3. A special car was run from Richmond Hill to accommodate the fans but it was poorly patronized. It cost the Hockey Club $55. and there were seventeen paid fares which made the net loss to the club about $35. The return game will be played here to- night (Thursday).

Bailey of Maple, this week showed The Libera\1 a copy of an old day book dating back in the eight- ies and it is evident that if the same prices prevailed to-day it would be an easier task to pay the coal-man, the grocer and the butcher. The old book however contains a copy of an agree- ment between Mr. Bailey and Mr. J. P. Rupert by which Henry Bailey a- greed to work for the said Mr. Rupert for the fabulous salary of fifty dollars per year, “to sleep at home and board With me six days in the week.” That was in the year 1889.

Pearin purchased a pound bf cheese for fifteen cents and John Brown sold eight dozen eggs at fifteen cents per dozen in the month of Febr- uary. Butter sold at 24 cents per pound and Thos. Matheson paid all of $1.20 for a pair of bdots. It is also {recalled that fifteen cents would buy a whole chicken in those days, but three {nickels wouldn’t hardly get you the fineck” to-day. W. Johnson bought tobacco to the value of nine cents and a half pound of tea set you back fif- teen cents. No wonder the old-timer lSays “them was the days”.
