Cough medicines, Ayer’s Cherry Peo toral is in greater demand than ever. No preparation for Throat and Lung Troubles is so prompt in its effects, so agreeable to the taste, and so widely known, as this. It is the family medi- cine in thousands of households.
“T have suffered for years from & bronchial trouble that, whenever I take cold or am exposed to inclement weath- er, shows itself by a very annoying tickling sensation in the throat and by © difficulty in breathing. I have tried a great many remedies, but none does so well as Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral which always gives prompt relief in returns of my old complaint.’”’— Ernest A. Hepler,

At the closing convocation of Queen’s Uni- versity, Kingston, held on the 23rd and 24th April, two Island students ranked very prominently. P. A. McLeod, of Dundas, who graduated in arts last year, took this year the gold medal in Honor Philosophy. | This is no sma}] attainment in Queen’s Col- ‘lege. Mr. McLeod, throughout his univer- sity course, has been an honor to his native Island,
John McKinnon, of Brown's Creek, com- pleted his course in Theology. Ila the spring of 1886 he took the degree of B. A. At this convocation he was laureated with the degrees of M. A. and B. D. He now holds the three degrees frou: the university, and, besides, a T'estamur in Theology. He has also taken the Scholarships in Hebrew and Chaldee. ment which only the most brilliant stuteut can accomplish within the seven years. It is seldom that a graduate leaves the college with such honors conferred upon him. The little Island Province may well be proud of her sons in Queen’s.
The Rev. Mal. McKinnon, B. A., brother of the above, and a graduate of last year, has been appointed a member of the Uni- versity Council. This is an honor which cught to be appreciated by so recent a graduate. will be glad to hear of their success and welfare. ~ Weare pleased to learn that Mr. R. D.

Salt Beds in
New South Wales.
The Sydney Daily Telegraph says : What may be a discovery of great vaJue has been
16 miles from Allandale station. There a deposit of crystallized salt, 4 feet thick in places, has been found, and it is expected that a body of rock salt will be reached below. Mr. Hilton, an expert, expresses the opinion that a similar deposit will be discovered at Eilalong. Something like 100,000 tons of salt perannum are used there, and the price is £5 103. per ton. Thus, such a discovery would be of great value. A syndicate has secured 400 acres of the land, and the value of the latter will be thoroughly tested.
