Orangeville Academy.
Orangeville, July 3 1889.

Orangeville, July 1889.
Mr.. EDIToR.-It was our privilege to
attend the commencement exercises Of the
Orangeville Academy, which began ON
Friday, June 3Oth, and we thought brief
account of them might not be uninteresting
to your readers.
Notwithstanding the blow which the
Academy sustained when the small pox
plague fell upon the town, and from which
it is just beginning to recover, there were
three members in the graduating class The
final examinations were held on Friday
June Both and were conducted by COM
mittee which is appointed annually We
were not present at the examinations, but
the chairman, MIR. j. Z. Robins, reported
that the committee had examined the grad
uating class and also their papers of pre-
vious examinations, and, while they found
n few errors, none Of them were serious,
and that in the opinion of the committee
the members of the class could be gradual
ed with credit to the institution.
On Friday evening Prof, w. b. Owen,
College, delivered the commencement ad-
dress in the Union Church. His theme was
''Thc Practical results Of Liberal Educa.
ton" Any extract or synopsis that we
could give of it, or any comments that we
might make on it would not do it justice.
To be appreciated it must be heard, and
we are sure that all who heard it were
highly gratified. The Trustees of the Acad-
emy have requested copy of it for publi-
cation.
The graduating exercises took place on
Saturday morning, July 1st, at 10 o'clock.
They were prefaced by Anniversary Ex-
ercises" consisting of Music Recitations,
and Declarations by the members Of the
lower classes, all of which were of very
high order of merit, and gave evidence of
the fact that these branches are receiving
their proper attention at this institution.
The first Grafton from the graduating class
was by Mr.. Steward +. Custard of Strouds-
burg, Pa. His subject was "Our Great
Men. "Eiis Grafton showed maturity OF
thought, and was delivered with earnest.
ness and force.
Mr., Frank 1. Smith of Alba, Pa, follow.
ed with an Grafton on Bricks" II
abounded in wit and wisdom, and was
enjoyed by all who heard it. The last
orator was Mr.. Dallas G.. Grover, of Wap
wallopen, Pa. The subject OF his oratior
was suckers" With keen satire ant
well chosen words he portrayed those who
go through life leaning upon some ont
else.

Joseph Snyder of Rupert hung himself
on Wednesday afternoon about three
o'clock. The family heard a noise on the
garrett stairs and went up to see the cause,
when they found him upon the stairs dead,
with the rope broken but the moose tightly
drawn about his neck. He had tied the
rope at the top Of the garrett, then pushed
himself off, so as to hang in the stairway.
There was some difficulty in the family
which lesd him to this act. He had made
several attempts at taking his life before
this time, but has always been detected.
He was about 55 years of age.
