At the usual meeting ov the Can- adian Institute, on Saturday evening, W. Houston, M.A., gave a prelection on " Old English spelling and pro- nounciatipn," with a view to the pro- motion ov the fepeling reforin move- ment. .After sketclimg briefly the history ov the language, he gave a number ov ilustrations ov the difer ence between the pronounciation of the Elisabethan period and our own, for the purpose ov showing that pro- nounciation is uotfiied butchaugeable. He argued that as written language is but the dres ov apoken language, spel- ing ought to change as pronouncia- tion changes, and earnestly protested against alowing onrselyes to be for- ever controle^ by the capricious spel- ing fixed by printers and lexicograph- ers in the eighteenth century. He cited Ellis and Skeat as authorities for the statement that m old England speling was intend to be fonetic, and that the variations in speling wore due chiefly to local diferences ov pro nounciation. This statement was ilusirated by numerous specimens ov Hurrah the speling of Milton, Spenser and stil older writers, those selected being men who would even at the present day, but for their speling, be regarded as exceptidualy good scholars, though their indiference to uniforirity in writ- ing words would cause them to fail at an Ontario high school entrance examination. The lecturer closed with a brief statement ov the fonetical importance ov the speling reform movement in relation to common school education, and pointed out that a very large proportion ov the pupil's time is wasted, while his intellectual powers are often injured by the terrible drudgery ov lerning to read and Epel.

From our ovm eorrespondent. The Flesherton monthly cattle fair was largely attended on Monday last- A large number of bovines were on the market. A good number ohanged- hands at good prices, the effect of which seemed to be felt in business. The business places were crowded With customers the moat of the day. Some days ago Mr. John Pedlar, a farmer a short distance from the vill- age, had the misfortune to loose a valuable horse, caused by the playful conduct of its mate by kicking, strik- ing it on the leg and breaking it. The wounded animal had to be shot. Dr. Campbell, Phrenologist, is still kept very busy, large, attentive and appreciatiye audiences attend his very interesting lectures, given in the Town Hall most eyery evening. Dr. Christoe is to-day (Wednesday) prostrated with a severe attack of in- flamation on the lungs. A number of medical men were in the village yesterday attending the nominations. We understand they all paid our re- spected Dr. a friendly visit. How is it going? Who will be elected Hurrah for Cameron ' for McColeman, and such like salutations grated one's ears as they passed to and fro through our village until Tuesday, when the time of the Cameron men suddenly ceasad, Mr. Cameron having withdrawn from the field, much to the dismay of many of his friends and supporters. It now leaves Mr. McColeman and Mr. Myles for the contest. But we think Mr. McColeman will have an easy walk over the course. Not much sympathy appears to be expressed in these quarters for the poor fellow, Robert, who is sitting on the fence trying U) look both ways, and wanting to see which way the wind blows. We tliink Grey will limits he would assign to the reform ov speling. In reply he stated that the subject thus broached was too ex- tensive to go into at that time, but ofered, if the council ov the insti- tute had another Saturday evening to spare, to take it up and discus at length the history and objects ov the speling reform movement, and the relativ feasibility ov the various remedies pro- posed for the admited defects ov our English orthogrofy. tive for East Grey in the Commons, is steadily increasing in influence and ability as a speaker, having made, on Tuesday, nomination day, what was considered, by friend and foe, one of the soundest, most forcible and telling political speeches that has ever been given in East Grey.

Times here are liyely and building operations will be brisk when spring opens. Prof. Mason, phrenologist, visited tbiB place a short time ago. I under- stand Dr. Campbell, phrenologist, will also come this way shortly, so you see we will have ample means of finding what we are good for. Some of us were of opmion that there might be a Wellington, Pitt, or Burns among ur who would only require practice to develop the latent talent. Prof. Mason was unsuccessful in finding one, Dr. Campbell is a man of more extensive experience, perhaps he will succeed. Oar hotel-keepers' habits seem to clash with the Crook's Act. In election matters there is coDsider- able speculation as to who the commg man will be. Some say Myles is not just perfect, yet to take him all around he has, perhaps, as many good points as any in the field. (The aboT« ^as crowded ont last •week. Ed.) From our own corretxtondent. The coming election causes very little excitement here. Possibly alter the vioit of the candidate, which takes place this week, ihere may be more enthusiasm. Th? part Mr. Myles took in ih« late county valuation will pre- vent him from receiving much support from Osprey and Proton. Building operations are likely to be brisk this season, considering the hard times. The band are giving a series of con- certs to raise the needful.
