Notes -G. Hanamill and W. Govenlock
won honors in mathematics at tlee Uni-
versity examiqation. The total number
of Art School certificates was 129. 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.

MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. -A most dis-
tressing and fatal drowning accident oc-
curred at Beckler's mills, in the town-
ship of Colborne, a few miles from Gode-
rich, on Friday evening last. 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.

PAINFUL ACCIDENT. -On Tuesday last
as Mr. J. C. Kalbfleiseh, Deputy Reeve

working at a circular saw, in some way
his hand came in contact with the
rapidly revolving implement and took
one of his fingers clean off. This is the
second accident qf the kind Mr. Kalb-
fleilich has met with.
To THE TOMB. -The wife of Mr.
Henry Willert, of the Blind Line, died
last Sunday and the remains were in-
terred in the Lutheran cemetery on
Tuesday. The cause of death was
dropsy. She was 37 years of age and
leaves a husbend and three small chil-
dren t� mourn the loss of a loving wife
and tender mother. Mr. Willert is sad-
ly afflicted. Only last summer he lost
three children and now the mother has
been taken also. -Mr. Robert Nichol-
son, of the Goshen Line, Stanley, has
also lost his eldest son, a bright and
promising lad of 12 years. Asthama

RETURNED. -Wm. Crearer, formerly
of the township of Grey, but now of
Manitoba, is here on a visit. He is
looking well and speaks in glowing terms
of that country, and especially of the
crops this year. He hopes, he says like
all other true Manitobans, that the Red
River Valley railroadanay be completed
and run as an independent road, then
with good crops they are bound to have
good times. He says that the country
is not peopling very fast, one reason be-
ing the Canadian Pacific Railway's en-
deavor to carry all ,einigrants into the
Territories. -Geo. Forsyth, ex -Reeve of
Morris, has again returned after a trip
to the Pacific slope. He does not think
very much of British Columbia. He
says Victoria is a fine place to stay in
summer.
DEATHS. -On Saturday last Chas. W.
Cormack, second son of the late John
Cormack, died of consumption. He has
been ailing ever since last winter when
he had inflammation of the lungs, from
which he never recovered. In the spring
he went to the Western States, thinking
the change might effect a cure, but with
no good results. He returned in June
and has gradually been getting weaker
ever since. He was a telegraph opera-
tor and worked in most of the large
cities of the United States and Canada,
and was highly respected wherever em-
ployed. His funeral testified to this as
it was very large. -On the same day the
wife of D. McGuire died of diarrhoea.
About a month ago she got word that
her sister was dangerously ill, and she
and her only daughter went to see her and
the little girl contracted the disease and
was brought home a carpse about two
weeks ago. The mother took it shortly
after, and with her it also proved fatal.
Mr. keGuire has the sympathy of the
whole neighborhood in his sad loss.
BRIEFS. -Jas. Ross is having his
