spelled it "abattis' both wrong. This
word was dropped and replaced by abba

spelled is we have given it, and was dc
claIrd the victor.
The Judges, therefore, through \. S.
Frost, Esq, awarded the first prize hand
somcly bound volume Of the Complete
Works of Shakspcarc-tO Master Thomas.

The competition was closer and more cN-
tended than at the former contest. y
LARGER number of words were of course cor
rcctlv disposed of But there is much
space left for further Improvement and
which may I've nlcasurably gained by pro-
tracting She Investigations which these con
tests have had the good effect 10 incitc.
GARDEN SHEDs-Our Old friends. d. s.
Wright & Sons, of F'rcdonia, Chautauqua
County, New York, not content with pat
ronizing us literally with advertising have
capped the climax by presenting us with
a lar4c assorted package of their best ana
choicest seeds for our own use. These
are not the sort of men who go around
squeezing printers down to the last cent
for their valuable space, but of that other
rare sort who lay down ten dollar note
and say give us all you can for the money
and are off Such men deserve to succeed
on their money and muscle, and they do.
AssOYtmcnts similar to ours can he found in
nearly all the stores, and we advise our Mt
mcrous friends to try those marked ID. 5
Wright & Sons.
SPEAKING of the last "Spellin@ Match,'
"Srryivor" in the Homecoming Press among
other matters says:
There was some few changes made in the
list of spoilers rs published in your issue of
last wcck-John c. Wcis, and Mr.. Byrnc
was absent on Capt Grilln's side and 4. A..
Shaw and J. b. Oder on Capt Pcrdcw's
We saw Mr. Oder there, but presume he
Was afraid to face the music.
This is the same correspondent who last
week "kncw' something as a fact be
cause he had heard it.
Now, our reasons for declining to spell
are ample and good enough to justify our
action Yet they are not worth publca
ton for the special satisfaction of "Survi-
vor,' or any one else who is not "atraid to
face" the public through the press with his
presumption and bad grammar
