Now A B. A, -The following refers
to people well known in the Northerly
part of this township, now of Palmer-
ston . Ex -Warden and Mrs. Duhnage
attended the convocation in Toronto
when 484 students successfully ended
their college career•. The ceremony
was most imposing. The beadle and
his mace headed the procession and
after him the graduates in their
gowns, and the women in trenchers
its well. Behind was a stately but
brilliant looking line of Governors,
professors and distinguished guests,
resplendent in hoods of scarlet, pur-
ple, bine, gold and white. The assem-
bly was most brilliant, and both Mr.
and Mrs, Drainage felt amply repaid
for their visit. Among the graduates
receiving a degree was Miss Agnes
Dulmage, of Palmerton, who is now
a B. A. and a Specialist in Math-
ematics. She is unassuming, but
very clever, and the students of Tor-
onto University have recognized her
ability by electing her President of
the various college societies on differ-
ent occasions. It is seldom indeed
that it lady takes precedence in math-
ematics, for that is a snbjoct which
appeals more to the sterner sex ; but
notwithstanding, Mies Dulmage has
developed exceptional aptitude for
figuses, anion owing to the uniqueness
of her gift has a very promising

LATE DAVID PANABAICax,-The fol-
lowing obituary relates to the father
of Mrs. Simnel Chambers, of Ethel, a
gentleman kuowu to a number of our
readers :-Possibly the very oldest in-
habitant of Hespeler, David Panabak-
er, passed away to his abundant re-
ward in his 84th year, at his late resi-
dence, on Queen street East. The de-
ceased remembered Hespeler, then
known as Borgeytown, and later as
New Hope, when it consisted of but a
solitary house, having been born in a
residence on 'Roos Hill, in the year
1825, our lateR ue
on Victoria being
n
g
but six years of age when he was borer
and when Win. gg

sovereign,
Pis
faathen was the late re-
spected Abram Panabaker, who came
to these parts from Pennsylvania
when about twelve years of age, while
this part of the Province was one vast
primeval forest. A singular eiremn-
stance is the fact that precisely upon
the 29th itlisliverstxx'y of the death of
his Lather the deceased, too, on June
3rd, is called away. His mother was
the late Sarah Clemens. Many are
the true stories that the subject of this
snort sketch has been able to relate to
his children and grandchildren. It
seems but yesterclaysince we heard his
mellow voice balling of bygone years
when shipments of wheat could only
be made via wagon through the woods
to Dunclas, the nearest port on the
Canal or to Hamilton for sailing
vessels, for it was not until the fifties
that the Great Western Railway
reached as fee North as Hespeler and
Guelph, the Tatlerlace being the
terminus of the road ; when every
lonomotivc had its name instead of its
number as today, and whoa ally wood
was the fnel used with which to gen-
erale steam. The deceased had filled
many places of inonot' iu Hespoler and
neighborhood and it is but feebly we
write of so grand and useful a life
which has lust (lased. 5, life filled
with noble deeds and honorable men-
tion by all who knew his sterling
charaacter. Those who knew him best
loved lulu most,. His sound advice
anon good judgment was not alone
sought for upon School Board and
other public offices but by private itt-
terview. His friends were many and
this foes, if any, fete. To the writer's
knowledge, in a practical sense, lir

and the widow and thus fulfilled the
highest type: of Christian fortitude ie

Meet. BLAKE, DxeonoSan.-Last Sun-
day an old and well known resident of
the 14th eon„ in the person of Wm.
Blake, paid Nature's debt, aged 70
years. His health had not been very
robust for the past few years but was
able to be about until a month ago.
Deceased was born in Co. Clare, Ire-
land and came to America when a boy
living first in the state of New York.
In 1852 the family moved to this town-
ship, being among the first settlers
and located on 101 0, ecu. 13 and later
acquired the farux upon which Mr.
Blake lived. He was a faithful mem-
ber of the R. 0. church ; a Liberal in
Politics and was highly esteemed
by a wide circle of friends and was
well worthy of it. In 1470
Mr. Blake was united in marriage to
bliss Bridget Rowland, who with 8
ohildeeu (viz. Dennis, of Walton ;
Patrick, of B. C. ; Dr. Joihn, of De-
troit ; and Wm., Geo., Louis and
Misses Ellie and Edith at home) sur-
vive. All were present at the funeral
Tuesday morning excepting Patrick.
Miss Ella (nurse) was called home
from Detroit a few weeks ago. Rev.
Fr. Cochrane conducted the service
and pallbearers were four sons and
Edward and Jim. Rowland, of McKil-
lop. Heart trouble was the cause of
lbir. Blake's death, The family have
the sympathy of the community.
