SPECTACLES.

Oe TT

Over twenty-five years I have been in the Spectacle bus- inoss and during that time have fitted hundreds and hundreds of persons. Some had put off getting glasses so long that they could not see a large*4 inch letter A without going within 2 or 3 feet of it, and might have gone blind if they had put off getting classes much. longer. Others have been fitted ox rather misfitted, with wrong glasses by travellers, and charg- ed a great deal more than they ought to have teen. This year our traveller, Mr. C. H. White, intends calling on par- ties at their homes in the country, to test eyes and show sam ples of our goods. Should he call on you I bespeak for him your fav orable consideration, and any order you may give him will be filleé as soon as possible and guaranteed by me.

A CLERK’S BLUNDER.

x2) -| Orrington, Me., Got Its Name Through His

Wonderful Speliing.

As often as once a month something happens in Orringtov, Me., which is of enough importance to make it worthy of mention, and whenever the. place is put in print the name is always spelled wrong. Most of the time it is called ‘‘Orvington,’’ though “Ovington’’ and “Ovyington’’ are not uncommon. In fact, the town’s name is spelled every way but the right way. All of this is due to the blunder of a prominent citi- zen who used phonetic methods of spell- ing.

¥; was nearly 125 years ago that some of the leading citizens met and drew up a petition to the general court of Massachusetts, asking that the planta- tion be incorporated as a town. The deople agreed upon the name. It was to be called Orangetown, partly out of compliment to Orangetown, Md., which was then a thriving place, and partly as a mark of respect to the Prince of Orange, who, as William III of Eng- land, bad done valiant work in behalf of the Protestants. Having signed a blank petition, the residents went home, leaving the clerk of the meeting to fill in the spaces, which he did faithfully according to the light which was given him. Of course the members of the Massachusetts general ccurt did not know that ‘‘O-r-r-i-n-g’’ was meant to spell orange, or that ‘‘t-o-n’’ spelled town. Very likely they didn’t stcp to look at the name and wouldn’t have cared if they had seen the bad spelling. They incorporated the town without protest and named it Orrington, as the petition had asked them to do. Though Orrington received its mame because an old clerk didn’t know how to spell and though it.is the only Orrington in the world, it gets little credit for being original, because compositors, proof readers and careful copyists insist upon misspelling a word that owes its birth to bad orthography. —New York Sun.
