to brisk are probable for tonight from Cape
Hatteras to Cape Cod, with cloudy aud threat
ening weather from New Jersey to Massachu-
sets, and few local storms between the coast
and the lower lakes. Brisk westerly winds will
probably prevail for a short time on Lake Erie.

ness is probable for the upper lakes.

The first class in spelling will please stand
up while the following is being read from the
Milford journal: "Most of our American
newspapers spell the name of the place where
the Emperor Napoleon lives 'CbiSeihurst'
This is wrong. The word is ChislehWst,-
probably pronounced Chilehurst. Our atten.
ton was first drawn to this matter, on receipt
of letter from the secretary of the emperor,
dated as follows; 'ChiSlehWSt, Jtne oh, 1871
1t is scarcely possible that the secretary can
have spelled the word wrong"

closed last Thursday, nth inst, at eight

the people of the town.
