Short Course Classes.—Friday, Jan. 28th, saw the conclusicm of the an- nual Short Course in Agriculture and 'Horne Economics oonducted by the local Department of Agriculture, Clinton. Thi 5 course wa.,5 attended to the number of 25 boys and 40 girls daily. Besides these, a ttarge num- ber of Visitors came to the Course particularly in 'the afternoons to take advantage of the different leetttres and demonstrations. Courses such as these have become decidedly popu- lar in the majority of rural com- munities and while their purpose is the dissernination of agricultural and household information, yet the social activities carried an by the organized classes in after years are highly im- portant results. It is to be hoped that successful Courses of this nature will be held ie other parts of the county durittg the coming winters.

Beer -and gin was brought in. Little children of one of the women ran Screaming out on the street and it big crowd soon gathered, which filled Queen street °for a block. Some one turned in a fire alarm and phoned for the police. Police from the Mot- tles west station soon arrived, as well as a Bre brigade. They found men and women fighting all over the house and in the baek yard one Russian amazon hadeknocked do -4n three men with her bare .fists. The screaming of the women and shocking profanity of the men was something terrible. Two stoves had been upset in the melee and a fire was just starting but the fieemen had little to do.
