The Spelling Bee held at Appleton public
school, on Wednesday night. March 22ud,
was quite success, in spite of the unfavor-
able condition of the weather. At about 8
o'clock the spoilers were called to their
places by Miss Arrie Duhamell, principal OF
the school, and the contest lasted for more
than an hour. Mrs. Franklin Pratt. Of KEN
bleville, recently a popular Cecil county
teacher, pronounced the words from "West-
lakes 5000 Practice Words,'' and it is but fair
to admit that all the spoilers did well. The

his many rivals.
Wh''St he was thinking over the situa-
tion and hurting homeward he was hailed
with busness.lke "Ho, FAIR; l want to

Turning about, he faced the speaker, a
friend of his junior partner; and in a few
minutes they were deeply engaged in a
discussion of some abstruse question, con-
oerniug case which was then interesting

a request that he would give it to SOmeT-
