PucrL1sTIc-During the progress of the
festival on Saturday night two young
bloods engaged in hand to-hanl encoun-
ter which resulted in the serious discolor-
ing of the optics Of one of them. AT the
time of the disturbance the room was filled
to overlooking and the shrieks of the ladies
was sorrowful. Whata pity it is that such
scenes should always occur at such times
and at such places.

the principal crop of our mountain farmers

experiments by determining the kind OF
