The greatest number obtained •by apy other high school was 132 (139 ?), and our school ranked second. There were 28 -teachers' certificates secured this year, against 25 in 1886. On the whole there is every reason to be proud of this record for the year The. whole work of the school, of course, includes those who passed, those who failed, and those who were preparing for future tests. With regard to those who failed to pass it is only just to add that for steady applica- tion to work, indomitable perseverance in the face of great difficulties, and for obstinate determination to win success at a disadvantage if that were possible, many of them deserve quite 6.8 much credit for their efforts est their more suc- cessful companions We trust that most of them will conquer old giant despair •and go in to win next time, when we shall take pleasure in recording their success in passing through the severe ordeal.

A little after dusk in the evening Mrs. Beckler, the wife of the proprietor of the mills, went to a spring near the house/for a pail of water. Her prolonged absence alarmed the household, and on search being made her lifeless body was found in the mill race. The spring, from which she went to get the water, is situated on the side of a hill rising up from the mill race. In order to get to it she had to go along a narrow path made on the side of the rock and just along the edge of the race in which the water is six or eight feet deep. It is supposed' that while going along this path in the darkness,shealippedior made a false step and fell into the water, striking her head in the fall on the rocky side which so stunned her so that she was unable to help herself. She was about • forty years of age, and was a most estim- able lady, and her sad and sudden death is a severe affliction to her husband and now motherless little ones. 3Kippen. • -- Zurich.
