the object to be accomplished By this contest,
Is sach % commends i topubc favor and APP
proval, the proceeds are to be devoted 70 the
procurement Of a library, or 10 other objects
Of the Young Menls Christian Association.
The champions, on either side, sre not I'M.
known TO fame. Mr.. B. 4. Fleagle will lead
the Amphions. His reputation is already es-
tahlished as one ofthe best orthogTaphisls in
the county w. L. w. SeabFook, Esq. will
marshal the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation. As an editor he has acquired great
familiarity with our vernacular, and Is ex-
pected TO sustain not only the reputation Of
the Association Of which he is the President,
but also Of the press, and the profession OF
which he has so long been a member. Now,
when two such well-drilled forces come into
contact, when Greek meets Greek, we may
expect the s'tug Of war; Rev j. A. Ernest,
Pastor Of the Lutheran Church, will preside
over the exercises; Rev. j. T. Ward, ID. D.,
President Western Maryland College, will act
as Pedagogoe Referees, PROT. Daniel Hes-
ing for the Amphions, and Rev. George v.
Leech, Pastor Of the NJ. 4. Church, for the
Young Mems Christian Association.
The BdltimoreaH says:--"As matters Of
recreation and diversion these spelling matches
are not without their good effects. We have
been frequently asked, why they are called
"Beesl" We believe the term originated
with the New England States. For the reas.
on, among our Puritanical brethren and sis.
ters, we presume, because the bee is the most
diligent Of insects, aud has from time imme.
mortal been regarded rs the truest type OF
symbol Of industry. Wehsters Unabridged
Dictionary, edition Of 1874, gives among other
definitions of 9 Bee, the following;
An assemblage of persons who meet 70
engage in united labor for the benefit Of an
individual or family as quilting bee. q
hiiskiag bee, a raising bee, etc.
Aud why not, argue our Yankee friends, a
"Spelling BeeT' One seems to them as ap.
propriate as the other. In the State of Mary,
land and points further South, the preference
seems to be for another term. .sSpelline
Match Is what oar people seem to admire,
aud by this term, we presume, a majority Of
our people will prefer 70 call il.
Webster and Worcester are both acknowl-
edged IS authorities There has not been
snch thumbing Of lexicons for long time,
as there has been since the announcement Of
this spelling match.

PArAPsco IrENs.-Farmers are busily en-.
gagged at their spring work, hauling lime, OBJ.
tanning their fertilizers, planting potatoes, &C.
but as yet doing very little in the way OF get.
ting ready for corn. The time for planting corn
is now at hand, but there seems TO be a strug-
gle between the seasons Of winter aud sum
mer, so evenly contested that It is often diff.
cult to determine which has the ascendency.
In the morning we are sometimes greeted
with all the beauty Of balmy summer, and
before night are in the midst Of all the par
aphsrnalia of winter.

peeially to the poor, and sraly his demise has
caused void in the community which will
long be felt by his many friends, which will
never be filed
Wheat in our neighborhood looks bad; aud
the grasses of every kind are very backward,
some Of the fields scarcely assuming a green
appearance.
The peach crop, il is feared, has gone up,
or has become so chilled as to fall off before
maturity, bat let us hope for the best, and
not murmur, as He who holds the destinies
of worlds in the hollow of His hand knows
what is best for u.s.
