KENcsHA COUNTY has no Coun-
ty Judge. 1t is the duty of the
Governor to appoint a County Judge
to fill the vacancy. The Governor
fails to do his duty. The office re-
mains vacant. and the people having
business in he County Court are
becoming dissatisfied. The unchar-
liable say the Governor is afraid to
make an appointment till after eIec~
ton for fear of losing votes. If the
Governor is afraid to make an APP
pointment now we hope he will
overcome his fears or that the pow
ers that be will hurry up election.
The office of County Judge has
been vacant too long already and
the business of the office is suffering
for want the of officer. How can the
Governors fears be overcome? How
can eleStion be hurried past How
can the business of the Office be pre-
vented from suffering during the
vacancy ? How can the difficulty
be overcome ?

THE Agricultural Fair will be held before an
ether issue of the Telegraph and what we say
must now be said. We have heretofore spoken
of The efforts of the officers of the Agricultural
Society to make the Fair success. They have
done their part up to the present time and intend
to do IL to the close oithe fair. They intend to
secure a band OF music on the Fair grounds and
to have the National Colors flying. Ard they ex-
pect the people to do their part to make the lair
success. And it is for the people to make the
fair what it should be. Every who has any
thing worthy of exhibition should exhibit it. And
every one having any interest il agriculture. hor-
ticalture, or the mechanic or fine arts should
attend the fair. So let the exhibition be worthy
of the County and the attendance worthy Of the
people. But the exhibition is not limited to
Kenosha County nor is the attendance. Exhibitors
are expected from Waworth, Racine and Lake
Counties and delegations are expected from those
counties and other places And the people of
Kenosha County can make success surely pltcing
everything worthy on exhibition ard by every
one attending the fair. Duty done by every one
will assurelsucces.

| receive, and for some years have re-
ceived. many letters daily, written by rep.
resentatiyes of all sorts and conditions OF
men and can safely say that an error IN
spelling is the very rarest that l meet
with. Indeed, an error of this Kind al
most never occurs in any manuscript that
comes under my observation. MISTAKES
Of all other sorts are plentiful, chiefly those
in the construction OF sentences; those 10
the meaning of words are common enough
but the spelling may be said TO be always
correct. A change in spelling seems 10
be NECESSARY to give neither writer nor
reader a complete and easy command OF
the English language, spoken or written.
This ontcry against the difficulties oil Eng
fish spelling has been heard for many
years in certain quarters; but it does not
come from the body of intelligent Eng
disappearing people. Men who devote
themselves to one special study are apt to
become ''hypped'' upon it. to lind some
favorite grievance, and weep. and wall,
and wiring their hands in public over it.
The advocates of decimal system OF
weights and measures are doing the same
thing over tons, pounds and ounces, gal
Ions, quarts and gils. They say, as is
said in recent article upon the subject,
that every schoolboy' knows the diff
Guilty with which a knowledge is acquired
oil the weights and measures now in use,
and that every grown person who has
mastered this important but perpleAiag
part Of the arithmetic" knows how soon it
is forgotten. A man of ordinary sense
and memory ought to be ashamed to en-
ter such plea in favor OF the proposed
change. Any person who finds two glls
one pint, two pints one quart, four quarts
one gallon, sixty-three gallons one hogs
head. &C., perplexing, and who, having
once learned it, Cannot remember it tor
the rest of his life, is not very likely to
master or to remember anything. The
woeful difficulties of spelling are much OF
the sort that every grocer finds in selling
vinegar by the gallon and sugar by the
pound. What is not necessary may. how
ever, be desirable. The desirability of a
reform of English spelling is now urged
on three grounds: it would save much
time now lost in writing silent letters, and
much money now lost in printing them it
would make pronunciation certain; it
would diminish very greatly the time
spent in acquiring the ability to write the
language Richard Grant White, GALAXY.
