Having received an invitation t, attend a spelling bee in Cheater oi last Monday evening, we set out fo our sister city on the afternoon train On our arrival we were taken in charg by Mr. Buchanan, the editor of th< Reporter, and Mr. MLure, the ex editor of that sterling journal. Aftei tea, we repaired to the Court House whore every preparation had beei made to ensure success. The prio, of admission was 25 cents, which wa given to the Episo9pal Church. Messrs.

Atfirat there was consid erable hesitancy on the part of th young folks to prove their skill In th wordy contest, but gradually, thi diffidenoe, aways soeoolient a! thinj except when spelling matches are oi hand, was di%p'lled and about twent champions throw down:their gountlet and entered the arena. It was do clared that owing to the novelty o the thing, each person would be al lowed to -wiss two words before beinj compolled to retire. The first wori given was "any," and brother Buch anon spell it as if he had done noth ing but spelt at matches.all his life Then came "many," and "lady," anm aaay"na when the teacher pro pounded that historic wo.rd "baker,' the ultUitue of a;lt spellers in one syllable in the blue, back, ten, centi elementary spelli-ng 'book, it wa taken .in on the 'fly in auiih a master in. nenr -as to make one's heai swim.
