The April No. is the ssh Of This moa.hs
y, yet il i the 6rst we have seer The
leading article ID Tho nnnnber before as is
entitled Spelling Matches Weare glad
the editors had sufficient good taste to
discard The term Spelling Bees" which
has most lndierous sound, and no signiR-
eance, and is but another evidence Of the
poverty Of tho American mind in matters
Of nomenclature. We think it would puz-
zle the best etymologist to trace any con
nection between spelling match and
abee, why, then, call contest Of this
character by such name The editors
treat the subject with some levity, chasing
Il with the Juvenile amusements Of tops,
kites aud marbles. They say Sc Congress
has adjourned, politics are asleep, Cesar
ism is dead, the great scandal has become
a great bore, items are scarce; so we are
treated to little lectures on education, of
which the omniscient editors know as
much as they do Of all other things. y
/ After this little bit Of sarcasm levelled at
newspaper editors, the editors Of the Jour-
nal launch out against the spelling match
es, as ''of much less value than commonly
supposed" as The only rational way Of
learning to spell Is by writing, not by oral
exercises, Now, we should hesitate long
while before putting our opinion in com
petition with that Of professional experts on
this subject, but 1t seems to us that the art
Of spelling correctly, whether orally OF in
writing, Is ian act Of the memory, and what
eyerexereises thatfunction gives it s,rengtl
aad power, just as physical exercise de
yelops the strength Of the muscles Ora
exercises Of this character, especially wher
the mind is quickened into unwonted ac
tiyity BY the presence of large audience
or by the hope Of prize or Of praise, i
seems to us, would indelibly impress them
selves upon the memory, and that the par
Elephants in the spelling match woult
hardly ever forget the lesson in spellin:
thus learned. A newspaper editor, how
ever, can hardly claim the right to ute
an opinion against the authority abov'
quoted. Prudence would dictate, there
fore, that we should drop the subject

FREEDOM Irgas.-Chess has been very
popular game with some of our citizens during
the past winter. A few of,hem have become
quite proficient-so much so, in the estima.
ton Of some, that at one time they talked of
challenging Westminster TO play a series of
games for the championship. What success
would have attended them, your correspon.
dent saith not, because one Of our best play.
ers will sometimes, when well matched and
the fight hard one, become irritated and ex.
cited; when this occurs he almost invariably
loses the game. Even with this disadvantage
we think we are able to match the players Of
your city.

was a busy day among our business men. The
Orphans Court, County Commissioners and
school Board were in session, and their rooms
were crowded TO such an extent that il was
with great difficulty that their wants could be
attended to. In the Clerks Office the crowd
was equally as great. Our lawyers were
unusually busy in drawing legal papers, set
Ting estates, &c, and some were kept At
work until late hour in the night. The mer.
chants say that Il Was the busiest day Of the
season, many country people purchasing
their supply Of dry goods, groceries, &c. Our
hotels, were well patronized, one Of which
dined over fifty persons. Pay day, or the lirst
Monday Of April, is looked forward 70 with
great interest BY. all business mea, and all
