Weather Probabilities.

of the Examiner.

To the Editor

Str,—My attention having been drawn, by a gentleman of the city, to the fact that the ‘‘weather probabilities’ for January, ‘issued by the Meteorological Office, Tor- ‘onto, for the Muritime Provinces, were verified almost to the letter, J have com- pared them with the recor’s of my tri-daily observations at Charlottetown, and fiad that in no case was there a total failure.

One inch and a half of snow fell on the 25th which was not predicted.

Yours truly, H. J. Conpatt.

A Literary Critic.

l'o the Editor of the Examiner.

Sir.—In the days of Dr. Johnson and other learned English critics, English prose literature was purified by th-ir keen criti- cism ; batlo! a greater than Juhnson has suddenly appeared like a flaming comet from the literary vanit, and mads a furious attack upon the ‘‘ Mil View secretary,” (=ma!l s.)

Bet surely a ‘* Literary Revolution ” is pending when such a ‘‘ S:udent ” appears to criticise literary productions Now, isit against the Secretary of the Mill View Dis- trict, or of the M. V. L. Institute, he directs the shafts cf criticism? He say the ** Mill View seeretary” (small s) Truly this speaks volumes for ‘* S:ndent.”’

He has attempted to analyze my report, and did not discover one mistake either in | grammar or composition ; but in endeavor- ing to criticise what was far beneath his depth, he has made errors,which any achoo} hoy could easily point out. A proper name always begins with a capital letter, but poor *‘Stndent” was, probably, not aware of that fact.

He informs us that ‘tone of the grand objects of a Debating Society is to improve the hours during which the meeting is assembled.” Now, of a!l absurdities, is not this the chief? He is not content with trying to bring about ‘‘A Literary Revolu tion,” but he wishes to revolutionize time. We know it is possible to improve our intel/ects in a Debating Society ; but how to improve the hours is beyond the limits of our comprehension. What does this literary Hercules propose to do? Does he intend to lenghten the hours to seventy minutes, or what?

In conclusion we would strongly advise ** Student” to seek the retirement of his own chamber, and there learn the tasks p-e- scribed by his teachers, who would, doubt- less, instruct him on the use of capitals, and the improvement of the hours.

1 am Sir,

Yours respectfully, J. W. Youne, Secretary of the Mill View Literary [ustitute.
