from time "to" time, in regard to the “ Russian pestilence,” has had only a tendency to confuse the minds of the inedical profession and others. Some liave‘stated that it was “Asiatic cho- lera.’.’; others have styled it “Oriental Plague,” with earbuneles and pestilen- tiul bnboes" ; others have called it “ epi- denlieal inflmlmation of the spleen or “ pustula maligna,” and the more timid have named it “Black Death.” But the general impresSion in England, until within the last few weeks, was, that a new disease, the “ Siberian plague,” more malignant {indiutal than any disease hitherto known had appeared in the world, and that it was surely working its way, westward, and that in time it might be expéeted to arrive in their own coun- try, and by ships he conveyed to finicrien. ' It shows that the free and independent inhabitants of York are alive to their oWn interestsâ€"that they feel that it is to their disadvantage, in many ways, to .to have the county seat where it is, and :that it should be removed as speedily as possible. The arguments and facts brought forward at the meeting seemed to be sufficiently strong to convince those present, that Toronto and not York was the gainer hythe supinenessâ€"to use no worse wordâ€"70f our County Council. 'The meeting was attended by our wealthâ€" iest and most influential men.

All agreed that this was an after consideration, and that the decision to remove from Toronto, should first be arâ€"r rivI at. In this we think the meeting were right. \Vhile we would like to see our own locality chosen, we are ready to submit to, the majority, and yield to any other place which can present better claims. As things are, the rich and popuâ€" lar County of York, which ranks first in population and wealth, is only a sort of an appendage to the city of .Toronto. This we think hardly comports with the interest and dignity of independent men. This the people must see, if they do not now see it. It would be a good idea if the committee could make arrangements to} canvass the country, and ascertain more fully the views of other localities. At the same time much information might be imparted, which would have a very beneficial effect. “’0 have no doubt that other localities are ready to follow, and will follow the example of Richmond Hill. \Vc say thenâ€"keep the ball rolling, and notwithstanding the Newâ€" mfarliotnlyira. and 'Markham Economist, the removal will soon become a fixed fact.

One-third of the people live on black-bread, composed principally of spurred-rye; in badly ventilated buildâ€" ings and towns, and villages improperly drained. This should be a hint to the people of this place to take proper steps to have lliehmond Ilill incorporated and proper sanitary measures adopted to preâ€" vent the fearful epidemic of typhoid fever, which we have had in a more or less degree, during the last several au- tumns.

Their course is often interrupted by remissions and exacerbations. Fcebleness and wasting make frightful progress. A hectic state superveues, and the patient sinks; or if more fortunate, the symptoms diminish slowly and a long and perilous period of convalescenee preceede the establishment of health. The prognosis of this disease is dreadfulwfrom one~half to four-fifths die.

The official information re- ceived by the Government from the above physicians) have set aside the alarm ex- cited by the former reports. ‘ Dr. Whiter telegraphed that “noth- in g resembling plague has been observed," and Dr. Sanderson has written to the Government from Dantzie that he finds “no reason for regarding the disease asl personally communicable,” and that he} has “met met no single instance in which more than one member of the same family had been attacked ; nor has there been any diffusion of the disease in any of the hospitals. According to those commissioners report, this epidemic is composed of two diseases already known in this country, and has been well known in Britain and Ireland, for nearly two centuries, namely :â€"relapsing fever and typhus, and is in all particulars the same as the Irish epidemic of 1847 and 1848, and not unlike the disease which proved so fatal amongst the French troops in the Crimea in 1856. During the last four years it has been raging almost at our very doors, under the name of “ spotâ€" ‘ted fever,” in the American Army, and land it is estimated that the oneâ€"tenth of itheir new levies died of this disease. This disease in its most marked form acâ€" cording to the most reliable authority is characterized at the commencement by an intense headache, accompanied by ivcrtigo, nausea, and vomiting. The pain rapidly extends from the head to the neck and spine, and subsequently at- tacks the extremities, delirium sets in, followed sooner or later by unconsciousâ€" ness. The patient is agitated convul- sively; the head is drawn spasmodieally backwards and the jaws are often locked ; the face, flushed or pale, has an expres- sion of pain; the temperature of the skin is normal or diminished; the pulse, natural or sluggish. About the third day herpatic eruption appears on the lips; or petechize or purpureal spots on ;the body; or a few rose spots similar to those observed in typhoid fever, may be noted. Occasionally epistaxes supevenes ; the urine is copious and full of sediment, and there is obstinate constipation. If the case does not end rapidly in death, consciousness presently returns, and with it the accute sense of pain. A slight amelioration follows, giving rise to hopes rarely realized. Quickly the nervous symptoms recur in all their severit'. A .fariammoafi Bro. James Murison Dunn, In Marknam and Vaughan the pros- pect of having good crops are reported exceedingly promising, and judging from samples of wheat and barley shown us by Dr. IIostetter, we can confidentially say that a return of good times are near at hand. The Wheat shown was of Med- iterranian variety, and free from midge and weavel; and the grain being far ad- vanced it is impossible for the insects to in} are it. The beards of this kind of wheat are very close to the head, and it is doubtful} if the fly can deposit her eggs near the grain. : -' It was a noticeable feature of this Festival, that the W.

The J. \Varden then gave his toast, “Happy to meet, sorry to part, happy to meet again.” After which the breth- ren adjourned highly pleased with their anniversary. Bro. Bridgeford said in acknowledgâ€" ing the toast which had been received so heartily by his brethren, he hardly knew how to thank them sufficiently. He was proud to be a mason, for some of the best men in all ages had- been connected with our time honored institution. For upwards of forty years he had been asâ€" sociated with the Masonic Fraternity, During that time he had hold some of the highest honors in the power of the brethren to bestow upon him. He trustâ€" ed to remain amongst them until his death, and sincerely hoped that his re- mains would be deposited in their last earthly resting place by his masonie ‘ brethren. He did not desire any greater eulogium to be pronounced over him than this, “He died a good and true mason.” V. W.

Spry for his valu- able assistance in reviving their lodge, and for the time he had given to their interest.” V. W. Bro. Spry, in acknowledging the toast, said it had afi‘orded him much pleasure to do what he had done for the 1Lodge, and their present healthy condi- tion fully repaid him for all his time and trouble. He regretted that their esteemed D. D. Grand Master, R. \V. Bro. Hon. R. Spence was not with them on that occasion, as that officer had given him every information and encourage: ment in recussitating the lodge. Like Bro. Bi‘idgeford,'he was proud to be a Freemason; he admired its principles, and urged upon the brethren the im- portance of giving some time to the study of its precepts. Masonry taught us to be good men and worthy citizens, and above all to keep in mind the grand principle upon wnich the order was founded; charity; not charity only in administering to the relief of the unfor- tunate and distressedâ€"that was a duty 1 never to be neglectedâ€"but charity also in all our words and acts in dealing with others, but more especially with brother masons.

After the installation, the brethren adjourned to the Hotel of Mr. Thomas Cook, Where amexcellent dinner was provided, SCIVRUP in the very best style. The chair was filled by \V. Bro. Conger, and the Vice Chairs by Bros. Dr. Hostettcr and McBeath. Ample justice having been done to the good things, and the inner man being satisfied, the chairman requested the brethren to join him in the first toast given at all Masonic Assemblies, namely; “The Queen and the Craf ,” which was re- ceived with great applause, and drank ‘with Masonic honors. “The M. \V. ‘Grand Master, District Deputy Grand ‘Mastcr, and Grand Lodge of Ancient Free and Accepted Masons of Canada,” was next given and duly honored. W. Bro. Conger, in rising to give the next toast said “ that it was well known to the Craft that Masonry placed all men upon a level, and all who entered our sacred portals laid aside the rank and station of the outer world and met the brethren upon the most perfect equality, but while such was the ease, Masonry required, and we cheerfully complied with her demands, that age and Masonic rank should be honored and respected. “"0 have with us toâ€"day an aged and esteemed brother, who has grown grey in the service of the Craft, and it aiforded him much pleasure in proposing “ the health of V. \V. Bro. Col. Bridgeford, and the founders of Richmond Lodge.” THE CROPS. Therefore, would it not be a benefit if such would meet once or twice a month? and discuss everything connected with the profession, from the growing of a turnip to that of a field of wheat. Dis- cuss the rotation of crops; the easiest and cheapest method of gathering them in; how to make a good fence, or the most profitable manner of feeding stock, &c. It may be said “ we have agricultural papers that discuss all these things.”â€" True ; but an agricultural paper can never supply the place of such an insti- Some of our friends grow certain crops with profitâ€"While others are always unâ€" successful, and We believe unsuccessful through ignorance of the proper way in which it should be done. There is not system enough, and the idea which we have to suggest is this :â€" let there be unity. Farmers Clubs have long been established in some places, and we think such in this locality would be a benefit to all connected. The Farmers, by social discourse, might become ae- quainted with each others workings, and learn how it is that one is successful, makes money and increases his property, while another is met by failures in every undertaking, and are everlastingly creakâ€" ing “ hard times.” Since it has been our lot to reside with the Farmer and to become acquainted, ‘to some extent, with his oeeupation, we have often been surprised at the lack of system, by which his affairs are carried on. We are not of that class who think there is but one way of doing a thing.â€" but we believe there is a right and a wrong way of doing everything, and when we look at the diversity of agriculâ€" tural notions and the manner in which those notions terminate, We are led to suppose that the difference is merely, by some being right and others wrong. 336ng. if 355.3513556’ or wu c‘omp Stfawheirries: ‘M'ay' ' ’h‘e ‘ long; live t6 énjiiy'ana be able to give such pre- sents to his less fortunate neighbors.

MISS OATEs’ DEPARTMENT. The School Examinations are now going on in our village. Miss Oates’ department got through on Wednesday afternoon. The young chidren under her charge answered remarkably well. The spelling and reading especially, were very good. Miss Oates has proved herself an efficient teacher, and has endeared herself to her pupils by her pleas- i139: and amiable manners. GRAMMAR SCHOOL DDPAMMEM‘. This Grammar School closed, after a three days examination, yestorday afternoon. The first two days, the pupils were engaged in written examinations. The Examiners and those present Speak in the highest terms of the manner in which the pupils ac. quitted themselves. In Classics, Mathema- tics, and the higher English branches, both oral and written examinations were nnusual- ly severe. The three higher classes prov“ ed themselves competent for then. The papers in Lucian and Cicero were especially good ; showing a very minute and thoroug acquaintance with the principles of the lan- guages. We were especially struck with :one paper in Lucian which, though the same as given for honors at the late Uni- versity Examinatiox s â€"cnly made much harder, was answered correctly throughout not only as regards translation and parsing, but even in reference and accent. Some ‘ pupils only studying Latin from three .to six months read and rendered correctly, and gave rules for every word ;â€"-the pieces read being selectedflpromiscuously. Much attention had evidently been paid to “Quan. tity” and Grammar. The idea of scholars working out long problems in Quadratic Equations, and the higher parts of Arithmetic, menial! , was certainly a novel one, and caused not alittle astonishment to those who were present. It evinces thoroughness and must be most excellent dicsipline to the mind. If uni- versally introduced, we are sure we would have more correct thinkers and reasoners than we have. We think we are only giving expression to the general opinion when we say that this Instit‘ni n was never 1n 9. more prosperous c0ndition,â€"-the scholars more thoroughly drilled and greater progress made than since it has been under the able and efficient management of the present teacher, Mr. Dunn, whose heart seems to be in his work, and who appears to know not only how to work hinself', but how to make those under him work as well. We congr; t ultt3 Mr. Dunn upon the succes which has crowned his efforts for the past six_ grog asall‘who were present at this, as well as former examinations could not fail to per ceive the great progress made by the pupils who have attended this department. We will give the particulars at more length in our next issue. ,Mn Pbrmi§de£utm¢hf ii: tobe examined tq day’gy‘ ' ‘ u. - . :2" F g A ‘.:., q School Examinations. A Word to Farmers- Mr. Dunn said he certainly did not expect to be called upon, but as he was present st the preliminary meeting7 when it was decid- ed by several gentlemen that a public meet- ing should be calledmâ€"he would be happy, on behalf of these gentlemen, to give all the information in his power. The object of the meeting was the removal of the County seat from Toronto to a more central places-- There were gentlemen present to move re- solutions, which he believed would meet with the cordial approbation and support of all. The fact of this large turn out showed most conclusively the strong convictio there was that it would be be better for th interests of the County of York, that a more central place than Toronto was the County seat. The way things were, the City of To- ronto got the benefit, and the people of York had to pay the “piper.” He showed by a detailed statement of facts and figures, the great advantages that would result to the County by the removal of the County seat, The Chairman, after thanking those pre- sent for the honor done him, stated that he was not exactly “posted” on the objects of the meeting, and would therefore out upon the Secretary, who, he believed, was prepared to explain them. Esq., Dr. Hostetter, H. G. Bennard, Esq., Col. Bi-idgford, \V. S. Warren, Esq., Ed. She'phard, Esq., Jas. Freak, Esq., and many others. It far exceeded the most sanguine expectations of its promoters. It did honor to the peeple onork. About eight o’clock the meeting organized by electing R. Marsh, 13301., to the chair, and J. M. Dunn, Esq, as Secretary. The Meeting on Tuesday evening last wasasplendid affair. It was numerously attended by many of our leading men and ratepayers, both from the Village and the Country; around for miles. Indeed, Van Nostrand’s large hall was filled to the door. Among,r those present we observed J. R. Arnold, Esq., David Boyle, Esq., A. C. Lawrence, Esq., R. Marsh, Esq, C. E. Lawrence, Esq; J. Burr, Esq., A. Law, tution as we have hinted at.

REMOVAL MEETI NG. SPLENDID GATHERING ! Magistrates’ Court at Aurora- David McLeod, innkeeper, was brought up to-day charged with having sold intoxicating liquors on the 24th ult. contrary to the form of: the Statute in such cases made and provided. Defen- dant pleaded guilty to the charge, and was fined $10 and costs. It appears that, with the exception of Mr. Robert Arnold, all the tavern- keepers, licensed and unlicensed, and other parties not in the business, had Tents erected on the Cricket ground, at all of which Spirituous Liquors were sold, more or less. The legitimate con- sequence of which was a very large amount of drunkenness, quarrelling fighting, and all the concomitant evils which so disgraced the celebration of the birth-day of our noble Queen, at Aurora. Two Indians, who were found drunk on the streets and whose nocturnal orgies had frightened some of the good ladies of the village, were taken in charge by Constable Hunt, and detained till suffiâ€" ciently sober to give an account of them- selves, who, when questioned as to where they obtained the liquor, one of them stated he had got it at Daniel McLeod’s; 21‘ public house just outside the corporaâ€" tion limits, where he had been in the habit of getting it. The other stated that he had obtained his liquor, quart of whiskey,) at King Station, at the store on the west side of the railway ; that he had left there on Thursday evening, and had :come an:fo "hs' Ehinlhi’s ‘Cfihers’; On the 24th instant, “Tilliam Graham was brought up charged also with having violated the law by selling spirituous liâ€" quors without having a license so to do, and contrary to the form of the Statutes in such case made and provided. Two or three witnesses were examined, and the case was adjourned till \Vednesday next, for further hearing. A Great SlacCGSSa (Communicated.) JUNE 23, 1865. The Quebec Chronicle of Monday has the following :â€"â€"“ A man named James Steven- son, charged with commiting forgery and embezzlement in Edinburgh, left on Satur- day morning, by the ocean mail steamer in the custoday of Mr. McDonal, city officer of Edinburgh. Stevenson had made his escape from Scotland, but was arrested at Elmira. C. W. and is now being brought home for trial. A young man was shot, at Bowmarville no the 27th inst,by Miss Munson, Owen Sound, who, in the company of an other young woman, invited Mr James Kerr to take a drive, and while enjoying themselves, she (Miss Manson) drewa revolver and shot him in the side, the ball lodged in the stomach. She tried to fire a second shot but he caught her in the act. The one who fired the shot was arresed, but the other, in the confusion, escaped. At the lag ,“eeting of the college of Physiâ€" cians and Slll‘gu_,"k8 of Lower Canada, 29 fol- lows were present. Fifteen gentlemen re- cived licenses to practice as M. D., or as Lieentiates of the College, 30 Lieentiates in Pharmacy, and 27 as students for the study of Medicine Pharmacy. After some futher remarks from other gentlemen,â€"all in fever of early action in the selection of a more central place fox the County seat, the meeting broke up;hy mov- ing Dr. Hostetter into the chair and passihg a vote of thanks to Mr. Marsh for his ser- vices during the evening. All departed to their homes highly pleased with the pro- ceedings, and determined to do their best to further the object for Whioh the had age semhled, and which they had so heartily en- dorsed. There is to be a grand billiard tourna- ment open to all Canaa,d at Montreal on the 10th of C “1y. Mr. Dunn thought that the gentleman from the city should be heard. His re- marks did not amount to anything. He had told us who did not get the benefit of the prisoners lakour; but he forgot 10 tell us who did. As for the other remarks Mr. D. thought that the country people were quite ca‘pable to manage their own afi'airs.~(Ap_ plause.) â€"not only, in actual -seving of money, but in the beneficial influence exerted upon the best interests of the people generally in their difi‘erent relations. The Speaker‘s facts and figures seemed to “ tell,” judging from the manner in which they were recei- ved. At this juncture of the proceedings, a gentleman from Toronto, who had been listening_ to the remarks which .he did not consider very complimentary to the city of which he is a. denizen, got up and said that he was a city man, and did not like it tra- duced. He thought the Secretary was al- together mistaken in supposing the city people looked down on the people form the country; denied that‘the city received one ccnt's’benefit from the prisoners, and made some other remarks which the audience did not seem to think very pcrtincnt,â€"â€"judging from the manner in which Lthey were recei- ved. Dr. Hostetter then moved the following resolution: “That taking into consideration the con- tinued increased of unnecessary expense and inconvenience the inhabitants of this County are compelled to submit to, on ac- count of havingiheir Court House and Gaol in the City of Toronto, this meeting is of a unanimous opinion it is expedient to make every exertion to have the publie building moved within and near the centre of the County, as it would be a great saving to the ratepayers both in time and money to have them so situated.” Dr. Hostetter, in support of his resolu tion, stated that it was evident that there was a great loss to the County to have the County seat in Toronto. He showed that the County was taxed to pay charges alto- gether unnecessary, and then the County would be benefitted by managing their own affairs. He instaneed the profit that might be derived from the labor of the prisoners. It now went into the pocket of the Toronto jailer. It might be profitably employed in breaking stone for our own roads, and what was now a Charge might be converted into direct advantage. He demonstrated the loss entailed upon many of the inhabitants, by beintor liept at the busiest season of the year, so long at Toronto, on matters altogether for- eign to the interests of the County. He mentioned many other reasons why the people should look at home, and prefer their own interests to the interests of a community, who found the connection ad- vantageous to them, and wish therefore to keep it up. The learned gentleman then took his seat amid great applause. *: .‘e‘n‘râ€"V‘ -â€"-- -â€"»- "â€"5611? most of the -expet;sâ€"é,f_tl;5§ the most 0ftkle..-1{9I1§fi&:Infielhofiéhtéhatéhfi peqplg of York quld be shgwing a? proper regard for‘th’eir owh interestlo be lup and doing.
