And if the people wish to recall (tO‘them) the golden days of their village they must lay aside all those petty diflercnces and jealousies that, more or less, characterise small places, and finite and work har- moniously together. If this were only done we are convinced that the village would have a bright and prosperous fu- ture before it. It might be made the seat of many manufacturing and-other establishments. Its eligible position gives it facilities that a very few possess. It should follow the example of other places that, with as few or less advanta- ges, have, during the last few years, sprung :from small hamlets into large and flourishing towns. Oshawa, for in- stance, was for; a long time competitor with Whitby for the honor of being the County seat of Ontario. As we all know, it 'was unsuccessful. “’hitby carried of the prize, and Oshawa, hOWâ€"‘ ever, immediately set to work and by‘ its energetic management and liberal in- ducements of its inhabitants, manufac- turers and other business men from a distance were induced to come and settle down in their midst, and the consequence has been that the career of Oshawa has been progressive ever since, and is likely to keep on so. So with other villages. ‘Richmond Hill should follow the good example set them in this respect. Some- thing must be doneâ€"~some steps takenâ€" to consider the welfare of the village- Each year is a witness to its decadence. other places are taking its ancient busiâ€" ness from it. The merchants and me- chanics complain of hard times, and justly; and the doleful faces that some of them wear are anything but pleasant harbingers of the future. \Ve feel inâ€" terested in the village, else we would not have been so plain in our talk. But plain talk we believe is the best. It can do no harm to talk about what we in our hearts know to be only too true, and wounds must be probed before they can be cured. \Ve feel convinced that the inhabitants have only to takevthe proper steps, and the village will, ere long, pre- sent the smiling and busy aspect it once did, and that not long ago. More enter- prize and energy however must be shown. The inhabitants must be up and doing. They must not stand with folded arms or with their hands ‘in their pockets and wait for others to do what they ought to do andmust do themselves. If they do they will rue their supineness and the disregard to their best interests. Let therefore a public meeting be called to discuss the best interest of the place and to concert and adopt such measures as may be deemed best to promote these in- terests. Let this be done and afair, honest discussion upon the capabilities, resources and prospects of the village characterise the meeting, and let all feel themselves bound and pledged to carry out the resolves that may be come to, and we feel sure that a very short time will witness a change in things here, that will gladden the hearts and help to make heavy the pockets of those interested. Above all, let the tomahawk of dissenâ€" sion be burried, and the calumet of peace and unity be smoked. The pupils of School Section No. 5, Vaughan, gave a concert you the evening of Friday, the 30th ult., under the lead- ership of their able and accomplished teacher, Mr. John Woods. They sang a number of pieces, some of which were rather difficult. The excellent time they kept and the spirited manner in which they sang, gave evidence of their efficient training. Mr. Rowe, of Spring Hill, as- sisted by Mr. Carley, accompanied on the melodeon. He also sang several solos, which were loudly and deservedly applauded. That beautiful song, “ Just before the Battle Mot-her,” was sung by Mr. Rowe, Mr. Woods and Mr. Dun- can Wilkie, a young and very accom- plished amateur tenor singer of Maple. The main feature of the evening was a brief and very eloquent lecture on the respective duties of ' Trustees, Teachers and Parents, by the Rev. Mr. Milligan, of King. At the eloce of the perform- ance the audience presented a vote of thanks to and confidence in their teacher, which Mr. Woods very feelingly replied to. They also presented a vote of thanks to Messrs. Rowe and Carley. The meeting then broke up, every one well pleased with the entertainment. _ In fact the whole affair was a decided success, and too much credit cannot be given to Mr. ‘Voods for favoring us with such a.“ pleasant and instructive evening’s enterâ€" tainment. May other teachers follow his example. A despatch from St- Hyécinthéffinnoun'ccs the murder ofa woman, by her son, at St. Damare, on Friday night. School Concert.

The examination of Mr. Porter’s depart- ment of the Common School here, took place on Faiday-last. The different classes exhibitcdefair knowledge of the subjects in‘which thcywere questionedâ€"indeed some of the children answered exceedingly well. It must be remembered that, this year, we are experimenting on the “Free School,” the result of_which is that many of the pupils attend very irregularly, many come to school and stay at home almost every alternate week or so, and of course they cannot be expected to make equal pro- gress with those who attend regularlyâ€" t'or this the teacher cannot be held re- sponsible. But taking every thing into consideration, we pronounce the result of the day’s examination as satisfactory to those who witnessed it, and creditable to the teacher.- We were suppriscd to see such a very small attendance of parents of child- jren, this shows an unaccountable indiffen ‘ence on their part.

As Mr. Hood is. a first class artist, [we Would ad- vise all2 who wish to secure the shadow ere the substance fails, to give him a call. A very pleasant and successful Pic-nic, in connection with the Richmond Hill Union Grammar and Common Schools, took place on Mr. Patterson’s grounds, on Saturday last. Conveyances having been provided, the whole party, numbering some two or three hundred, left Richmond Hill about one o’clock, P. M. The weather was delightful ; and judging from the joyous faces, and merry chatter of the Pic-nie- ians generally, there were abundant an- ticipations of a pleasant evening, to which the sight of so many well filled hampers, and suggestive looking “black bottles,” had, perhaps, not a little contributed. Once on the ground there was no lack of amusement. Their numbers were soon largely augmented by fresh arrivals; till the ‘ elders’ almost outnumbered ‘ juveniles.’ Swinging, tetering, boating, quoit pitching and promenading through the shady grove, were at once the order of the day. Everybody seemed to enjoy themselves, and to be willing to coutri- bute to the enjoyment of others. Towards five o’clock the tables were loaded with 'various delicacies, liquid and solid, good for the body and refreshing to the palate. In demohshing theSe, considerable manual and dental dexterity was exhibited; and in thiqfipdymfidai credit is perhaps due to all parties, though we could not help noticing, that our young friends seemed, here at least, fully determined to do their duty. Our Monthly Fair for July passed ofi‘ with more than usual spirit for this time of the year. The show of miloh cows was unusally good. Beef cattleâ€"«fit for the butcherâ€"scarce and commanded high prices. Lambs were in great de- mand, and fetched high prices. We had one buyer for W001, but none bei“ g offered he went away disappointed. . We think the farmers in the neighborhood of Richmondhill are much to blame in not trying to encourage the fair more than they do, as it always brings more or less trade to the town, and would also bring us into repute as a go ahead place‘ of business. Finally, Amos \Vright, Esq., M .P.P., having been voted to the chair, the thanks of the meeting were tendered to Mr. Pat- terson for the use of the grounds, and for his courtesy and kindness, in sending assistance to the committee, to complete their arrangements.

At a late meeting of our city Council, the Finance Committee, of which Alder- man James E. Smith is 'chairman, re- commended the suspension of the sink- ing fund-for the present year. This looks so much like repudiation, that I trust the Council will never sanction so gross a breach of public faith with our creditors. It does surprise me that the chairman, who is an able man, would leiid himself to such a proceeding.

The stockholders of this institution; held their first meeting on Monday last, in the Banking house, (late American Express Oflice,) Toronto street. I am informed that residents of your County hold a large amount of the stock, the wealthy farmers of the Townships of of York, Vaughan and Markham having subscribed liberally.

Some allowance must be made for Colganâ€"-he draws largely on his imagination for facts sometimes, and I yogld not like to con- viét‘Mchwell on his evidence alone. "The Hamilton robbeiiidsh'mnchéd an unexpected climax on ’Erriday,‘ last, by the siiflden disappearance of err-Alderman Paterson. A warrant was issued'for his arrest by Police Magistrate Cahill, on the charge of picking , a man’s pocket, some few years ago, so this worthy ex- city father decided to “emigrate,” with- out notifying the authorities. The Spec- tator of Tuesday adds to the painful feeling which exists in Hamilton and Toronto, in reference to the complicity of the police of these cities with robbers, by publishing a letter from the prisoner Jefl'rey, who lies in jail charged with: burglary, charging Mr. James Cahill, the Police Magistrate, with receiving money from criminals, and gives names, day and date for some of these disrepu- table transactions. Mr. Cahill replies through the Evening Times of the same date, to the effect that after he had granted a postponement of J efi'rey’s case, he went to his oflice, where he found J effrcy awaiting him. Jeffrey thanked him for granting the delay and ofl'ered him $10. : He immediately ordered J elfrey out of his oflice. In reference to:the charge that he had taken a less amount than the fine imposed in some cases, he replies that when he found that the full amount of a fine could not be had, he took ‘a smaller amount rather than send the persons accused to jail, and that he believes that such has been the custom in other cities. We must make due allowance for a certain feeling of revenge in Jeffrey. Mr. Cahill has always enjoyed a good reputation in Hamilton, and it would be unfair to pro- nounce him guilty on J effrey’s statement alone, but I am bound to say that I think his defence in the Times a very lame one. Of course I do not believe that he accepted $10 from J efi‘rey, but I do think that if it is not dishonest to fine a. prisoner $100 and then take $10, it is at least'a disgraceful practice, and no amount of special pleading can make it appear otherwise. If it is a custom in other cities, as well as Hamilton, the sooner the government remove those men, who have made it a custom, and place honester ones in their places, the betteryfor the administration of justice.

And after all, what better can be expected? Look at the persons who compose our city Coun- cils. Who would employ these men In their private capaeity ? I venture to say that more than one half of them would not be admitted into any respect- able place of business, and just so long as respectable people will consent to be represented by such men, just so long will we be liable to the disgrace of such exposures as havetaken place within the last few weeks. y Our American neighbors celebrated the fourth ofJuly with great eclat.

(Communicated) We are coastantly assailed on all sides by the word “ givei” ‘ Some' gentleman comes along with a. subScription list in his hand and says : “ \Vont you subscribe for our new Church ?” The little Sun- day School Scholar comes up with a sunny face : “ please give me ten cents for the Missionaries ?” and ere we have our purse fairly deposited again, we meet the half-naked, shivering child begging amidst her tears, “ Blease give me a pennyâ€"mother’s at home sick, and we have nothing to eat" ; and, although we denounce against street beggers every- where else, we drop the argument as use- less When we meet them, and pour con- solation into their hearts by sliding a. few platry pence into their hands. It will be seen, by referring to, the advertisement of Mr. W. S. Pollock, late G. A. Barnard, that he has got a complete“ stock of harvest implements, groceries, &c.,'0n" hand, suitable for the summer seaSon. And, if in our short scraps for the Herald we make any blunders, let there be plenty of real, true, genuine kindheart- edness and clearâ€"headed friends, whose pen is their sword to defend truth in the midst of error,‘ and to clear the precious gem from the dross of prejudice with which it is sometimes enshrouded.â€"â€" Don’t be afraid to try. “ Faint heart never won fair lady,” and if you cannot excel in writing, you can at least show a. disposition to render our community in- telligent, active, literary and enterpris- Now when we have done all this we imagine we are real models of charity.â€" That we give of all we possess; but is money all we can give? Ah! here is a mistake. We have minds, and can we not give something in the shape of a paragraph for the Herald :9 Assuredly we can. We don’t like to hear people say that we possess no worldly goods; or, if we do, we are misers;â€"-â€"but we will good-naturedlyfillwwhem to make the same remarks concerning our minds. I often think it “is with knowledge as with fireâ€"fits presence must be seen and felt. “ Murder'will out,” and While the world remains, talent must be known and appreciated; it is never inaetive, and, though its efl'orts may be given silently, yet they Will have a due effect on the world of mind. Look at Homer, who, while he lived, was looked upon almost as a. mendicant ; “ Seven great towns in Greece ’tis said, Claimed Homer’s birth when he was dead, Through which alive he bogged his bread.” Let us be willing to give as much knowledge as we can, and endeavor to prove to the world the superiority of mind over matter. What is the wealth of the body compared to that of the mind ? and yet how careless people are about increasing or diffusing that wealth. “There is that scattereth and yet inâ€" creaseth," and “there is that with-hold- eth more than his meat and it tendeth to poverty.” This is assuredly the case with knowledge, if we impart our little stock to everyone we don't know anything less than before we began; in fact we add to our own stock by so doing. In- terchange of thought necessarily expands our mindsvand enriches our intelleets, and again, every time we repeat any communication whatever we stamp it more forcibly on our own minds. What can be so pleasing to us as the fact that We are adding a mite to the general store of knowledge, while we verify the words that “ there is that scattereth and yet in- creascth. Give ! DODO. The Council met at the Town Hall, on Monday, July 3, 1865, at noon. All the Members present. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The Reeve laid before the Council a communication he had received from the Deputy BeceiVer-Geneml, intimating that ‘the sum of $514 80, was the amount due to this Township,‘ for the year 1864, from the “Upper Canada. yMunicipal Fund.” By-Law No. 173, making the annual appropriations for expenditure on Roads, was then passed. ‘ Notices from Michael Peterman and James Grey were received, notifying the Council of their intention of placing their fence on the proper line, and calling upon the Council to compel others to do 30, between the 5th and 6th concessions, from lots 25 to 30. ‘ A petition from Wm.

After an anniversary held during the pre- ceeding week in his parish he 'showed, great, signs of religious excitement. ' Two days‘ before the murder he received the'sacranlen andin the course of the sameaiday. ‘ himself lost beyond salvation, and expressed a wish to kill the cure of the parish", ‘Itwgs deemed adviseable to have him confined idol-J ing the night. On the following day.“ his father came tozseehim and take him home," where he spent Thursday. 0n the-Festival of St. Peter on Friday morning he appeared to have rccoverd his ordinary calmnessand; wished to kiss his mother, who was an old lady, aged (52. Towards noon he felt indisâ€" posed. His father tried to persuade to take food, but he said he only wanted milk. He then went to the diary a few yards from the house, where his mother followed him a few minutes afterwards. As she entered her husband saw her fall on the sill‘ of the door._ Hastcning to her he beheld the son holding a hatchet, which he let fall on hisrfather’n approach, and his wife’s head bleeding she having received three mortal blows, from the etfects of which she expired in the course of a few hours. The son evinced the greatest indifference and did not try to escape, but, confessed all. Before the inquest whichw held on the same atd the following day, â€"‘ B declared himself unable to recognize the 'corps of his mother, and showed evident signs of insanity. After his arrest he con- fessed to the murder, and being questioned for the reasons of'hi's act, said. “ I had a good mother, but experienced a feeling urg- ing me to kill her. 1 first intended to murder father, but gave the preference to mother.

The steamship Teutonia, from New York, arrived out on the 22nd. The steam- ships Persia and Helvetia, arrived out o the 23rd. ' The general political news is meagre and nnimportant. The whole twenty- three hundred milefl, of the Atlantic telegraph cable was on 1 board the Great Eastern, and as soon as the balance of the paying out machinery us put up, the telegraph fleet would sail from Valentin, and its‘ was hoped that before their departure from Valentin that a United States government steamer would join them. The vessels will probably leave Valentin on the 10th of July and arrive at Heart’s Con. tent, Trinity Bay, about the 24th of July. The directors of the company have decided on the following uniform tariff between all points of the United States and British North America to Great Britian, £20 ster‘ ling for 20 words or less, and £1 for each additional word- to the continent of Euro e,‘ £21 for 20 words, and £1 is for each di. tional word; to Asia and Africa, £25 for 20 words, and £1 5s for each additional word. The address, date and signature are all to be counted and charged for in the i" messages. Messages for Asia and Africa, to which the telegraph does not extend, will be forwarded by first mail, posta'e paid. Messages in cipher will be charge double these rates. The directors are convinced that unless they charge high prices at first there will be such an accumulation of busi- ness that great delay will arise ,in the trans- mission ot’ messages, but they intend to put down new cables as fast as possible, and then reduce the prices, The cable will be opened for business as soon after it is laid as possible, and all messages will be for- warded in the order in which they are re. ceived at Heart’s Content and Trinity Bay. The new stock of the Atlantic Telegraph company sells in London at a premium, and old £1,000 shares at £560. On the let ot'June the shareholders in the Tele- graph Construction Company visited the 7 Great Eastern by invitation from the di. rectors of the Atlantic Company, and on the following day Mr. Adams, the American Minister, the Duke and Duchess of Suther' land, the Duke and Duchess of Somerse and a large number of other distinguish» people visited the ship.
