GRAIN To COME FoRwARD.-Now that the
contest over freight charges has become
general with the leading lines of railroad.
the result of the struggle is awaited with
extreme interest both by the roads and
shippers. There are estimated to be sixty.
five millions of bushels of wheat in the
hands of the Western farmers to-day. which
will begin 10 move towards the scahoar,
under the stimulus of this reduction in
frright@. The roads to the various railway
stations are yet obStructcd 10y snow and
mud. and time must be allowed for that :;
the railroads themselves have been fire.
quently blocked up during the past season:
only let the spring suns exert their Gus
tomary influence upon these obstacles and
the grain Will como forth within the next
three months at an astonishing rate. The
advance i'll prices in the foreign market
has quickencd the action of the railroads.
and this lively internecinc freight war is
the first result. The next one will be the
clearing OF the farmers granaries of the
immense stores they contain, and as il is
expected this will be accomplished within
term of ninety davs. the process may conf
IDENTIFY be expected to develop am activity
IN general transportation such as the West
has not witnessed in at least two wears.

Is much overworked, and would like to see il

attached to correct spelling is far beyond
IT. real value, and that we should learn to
spell correctly only those words that are
in common use, leaving the uncommon
words to he acquired by observation and
habit. lntcrentially, therefore. the spelling
matches are of little value, because they
cultivate the wrong department of spelling.
being confined to wrestling with words not
IN common use and not Il necessary acoI1i

confined to oral spelling, whereas the only
use for spelling is for writing. 1t is we'll
known that many persons who spell we'll
orally do not write words correctly. and that
persons who write words with invariablc.
and unconscious accuracy are easily puzzled
