In that year this country exnerioncod a freeze-up such as was never known in thij section before or since. The freeze came on the night of May l.'Uh that year, nfter a lovely winter and sprinR. On the 2nd of March of that year the du'it was flying. From the fylc of The Advance of date of May 10 we quote the following item: "Very extraordinary thinns aro oc- curring these (lays. We luul an ex- traordinary winter, an extraordinary warm spring, ami a mo.;t extraordin- ary freeze-up on Saturday and Sun- day. It is said that half an inch of ice formed in some places. The early vegetation has received a severe set back. Tea fields, which were well advanced were blaikoned but whether they are seriously injured or not re- mains to be seen. This severe frost was general throughout Ontario and has doni? an enormous amount of in- jury to fruit and garden crop's." Thi» visitation destroyed all the black ash trees in this country. The freeze was so severe that plowed ^ound would bear up a lumber wagon.

Another cauae for slovenly writing comes from early writing to dictation. The pupil acquires the habit of "dashing off" the exercise as the tescher dic- tates it, and thus there is careless- ness in forming the letterj and Inci- dentally slovenliness. No pupil should be urged to write fast until he can write well. But how comes it that even some good writers) when put to the test, are poor spellers? PLANT MORE TREES. PORTLAW Mra.
