Let the friends of the desired reform exert themselves to have men returned as councillors, who will be pledged to support the petition to be sent in to the next County Court cil. Almost the whole Wealth and in- telligence ot' the central and southern townships will support such candidates. Unity, energy, and system will secure their return, and secure us a County Council who will correctly represent the true views of the electors. That being accomplished, the way out of our ditfiâ€" culties is short and easy. ' Wm. Atkinsonâ€"Oysters ! Oysters ! ! Dry Gnods -â€"â€"l’riugle 6L Co New Fall nnd Winter Goods.â€"“’. S. Pollock.

If this is the conve- nience which some people say re<ults from our civic connection, we have had enough of‘it. Our own business could to done within the county in less than half the time, and in a far more satisfac- tory manner. As to the nice little item of thousands of' dollars, which our share of the late assize expenses will figure up to, we shall havethe satisfaction of knowing, when the County Council report is publish- ed, that “ that’s the way the money goes.q So large :1 sum for jury expen- ces and all the eteeteras, will help to ex- plain to us how we spend $26,000 a year, and pay 457.1“; cts. per head taxes! Of that sort of consolation we have had enough also. Its a poor lining for empty pockets. Give us smaller items and less of them. Give us the only true remedyâ€"a separation from the city, the privilege of managing; our own affairs, through our own officials, and in some central place within the county, and we m 1y hope to see the present unreasonable inconvenience and expenditure reduced to their proper limits. We have not, as yet, been able to 0b- tzun :1 return of the exact number of cases disposed of, from the County and the City, and the relative amount of time occupied by the aggregate criminal business of each ; but we have learned enough to satisfy us that fully three- fourths of the time our jurymcn are de- taincd from their homes, is occupied with matters with which the County ought not to have the slightest concern.

In truth it is a serious question; and theiimore so: since steps have already been taken to put the mat- ter beyond conjecture, 'It is perhaps no news to many of our readers: that in several places around Richmond Hill, their are, in the opinion of many, whose experience should dua‘lify‘them to. judge, , strong indications that oil exists in pay- l ing quantities, beneath the surface. These indications, we are informed, are ‘ precisely similar tovtho'sl‘e observed in the Pennsylvania and gothwell oil regions. They consist of oil found floating en the surface of the water, of creeks and springs; peculiar kinds of red sand stone, and of Whitsundfgreen-clays found a short distance beneaththe surface ; and the general physxcal features of the 10- calities. Whether th‘é’se indications be suflicient to justify tlié‘b‘elief entertained, that oil exists, awe presume not to say; time and testing wiii tail that; but they have at least been Sufficient to cause the formation of two companies, and the commencement of operations. At Headford, two and a half miles east of Richmond Hill, a 'company has been organized, with a eapitalof' $2,500, in shares of $100 each, thirteen of which have been already taken up; Part of the material for the erection of a derrick and engine house has been brought to the ground; an engine has been pur- chased, and the company purposer‘com‘ mencing to bore in a couple of weeks. A very Eenter-taiiringfand instructive course of lectures Chemistry, Mag- netism, and Electricity, was delivered in the Temperance Hall last week, by Prof. Kent. The first le‘cturh iva’s'devomd to Magnetism and Electricity, the laws and phenomena of which ivere explained and illustrated by a series (if brilliant experi- ments. Mr. Kent's efferts to popularize and utilize his subject by practical’ ap- plication, was, a very vpraiseworthy fea- ture. His remarks? co'ficerning the proâ€" per way of erecting lightning rods, and with respect to the precautions {o be ob served during thunder ‘hformé, were well worth being remembered and'act’egi upon, being soundly baseriitupon both science and experience.

The char- acter of the men who have invested for- bids such a conclusion. A second company, with a proposed capital of $4,000, in eighty shares of fifty dollars each, is about being formed to bore on Mr. Clinlg's farm, one and a quarter miles east of Yonge Street, and about three and a half from this village. Some fifteen or twenty shares have been already spoken for, and there seems every prospect of the resfi'being speedily taken up, as the signs of oil are repre- sented as being fully as abundant ‘as at Headfbrd. That it is possible and even 'psohahle, that these enterprises; may prove highly successful, is :beyond queStion X; and that they should do so, cannot but he desired. A discovery of oil ire abundance would give a mighty im‘pomh to trade in every department, and opening various sources ur “mum and prosperity. ‘ ' Lectures on Chemistry; Oil Companies. trio Machine, which, by the way, we {be lieve will yet be turned in practical pur- pose, his music, and his bnloon, would in' themselves repay afiendnnoe.

In connection with this subject, we are led to enquire why n’nturol science in not more generally taught in our com- mon schools ? With proper nppsntul, and a good teacher, (And every~ compo tent teacher should be nt home here,) ‘ these subjects could be brought within the comprehension of the majority of the pupils, and surely nothing more practical: or useful could be taught. True, prr~~ vision is made for such teaching in our Grammar Schools, but these are few, and likely to be fewer, besides being It- tended by a very sniall proportion of our school population. We hope it will not be long before a change, such I8 we have ‘ indicated, will be eficcted. l The Fenians absorb all our attention at present. For the last few days no other subject can obtain a decent hear- ing in Toronto. No sooner has one ab- surd rumor died out, than we have another more horrible, to alarm the fears of old men and weakâ€"minded ladies,â€" W'liatever truth there may bo'in these stories, there are many persons in the city, who implicitly believe .that the Fenians mean mischief during thewin- ter, and they are loud in their demands for protection. The Leader has gone into the sensation business, on a large scale, and does much to keep up I feel- ing of insecurity, by publishing the most alarming rumors of intended raids upon the banks. A few days ago that journal inserted that they had information, to the effect that the Fenians would attack and rob the banks on a certain night. To such an extent was- this rumor believed, the military authorities considered it ad- visible to double the guards throughout the city. Strange as it may appear, while these“ horrible tales" are being‘ circulated, and to a great extent credited as true, the man who is supposed to be the author and instigator of a'l this pro- mediated villany is permitted to be at. large. If the authorities have any in- formation, to warrant them in taking such a step, it is undoubtedly their duty to place Michael Murphy, President of the Hibernian Society, under arrest.» This man has been stirring up bad blood amongst us for some time. and on his rc- turn from the late Fenian Congress st Philadelphia, where he went as I repre- sentative of Canada, he should have been accommodated with safe , unrters in “ Castle Allan.,”'east of the on.
