A St7CCOMMTIL STUDENT. --It affords
us ntiich pleasure to notice that at the
closing exhminations of the Brantford
Soong Ladies' College last week, Miss
Maggie Wilma second daughter of Mr.
D. De Wilson, of this town, signally
clistineuished herself by carrying Off the
leighea honors of the college, She was
sew er cled tb gold Medal for general pro-
ficiency in!alt themubjects of the senior
year. Thie honer, as we notice by the
list, was won ever a class of some twelve
competitors. In addition to this Miss
Wilson Was awarded the following
! prizes : Fdr highest marks obtained in
the Department of Mathematics, the
UniversitY class prize for highest results
in the group of English history- and
geography, rhetoric and -french, also
the second place for the national science
prize. Besides these she received honor-
able mention in several sidejects. Having
thus gradnatecl with honors, we under -
,stand that w-heri she returns to the 'col-
alege Miss Wilson intends taking the
University course. She has proven her-
self a labdrious eud clever student, and
her friends here will have -the greatest -
,pleasure ni heartily congratulating her
on her sheness, and in wishing for her
additional and increased honors in the
future. We also notice that -Misses
1
Hart and Clute, two young ladies well
known to, many of our citizens, else suc-
ceeded in carrying off high honors, while
, the lattet was selected to deliver the
valedictory of the class of 1885, a duty
she performed in the most pleasing and
creditable manner. We may remark- in
conclusioe that those Gf the exaaniners
who assieted in presenting the medals
and prize,
is in referring to the examina-
tions, saidthat the papers were as diffi-
cult as those of any college in the land,
and spokle in the highest terms possible
of the marked ability of the pupils gen-
erally, and of the institution as a seat of
learning.
With oference to the above I intend
always keeping- a Good and Pure Stock of Drugs
Sundries and Toilet articles on hand, and trust
by fair,honest dealing, and close attentiofl with a
thorough knowledge of the business, to merit a
fair share of yoUr patronage. All physicians pref.
scriptions and family receipts will receive per-

Picemo.—The union picnic thok place
in Mr. Ilunkin's grove on Friday, June
26. The chief focus was in the Thames
road day school, but the Lumley day
school and the Thames road Presbyterian
and Methodist Sunday schools united
and made the affair a grand success.
The Winchelsea brass band was present
and gave some well rendered selections
of suitably - chosen music at intervals.
There were siic swings erected on the
grounds, and. ell were in full blast dur-
ing the whole proceedings. A game of
base ball between the Winchelsea and
Farquhar clube was played. and pretty
evenly contested. A table loaded with
luxuries furniehed by the.good ladies in

• gether to partake of the- good things
provided, but just when the majority
were getting their inner capacity satis-

OBITUARY.—It is with feelings of
sorrow and regret that we have to an-
nounce the death of the late Mr. Richard
Young, who departed this life at his
residence here, on the 20th Of June. He
was born in the county of Leeds in the
year 1823. .About 22 years ago he bame
to the township of Howick, and settled
in this village where he has resided ever
Once. • He was a very intelliee'ent and
obliging man, and in .order to avoid a
quarrel with any one would make per-
sonal sacrifices.. He has long, been a
member of the Methodist church, and
has always taken a deep interest ir•
religious matters. His absence no
doubt will be much felt; but. we have
reason to believe that. what is our loss is
his gain. The funeral, which was one of
the largest ever seen in La,kelet, took
place on the 21st ult., at 3 o'clock p.
m. He leaves a family of 6 boys and 2
girls to mourn the departure of a kind
and loving father.
LOCALS. —The district lodge of the
Independent Order of Good Tempters,

teresting time was spent in discussing
