The Return of Father Murphy.

The Rev Frederick Murphy has been ap- pointed by Bishop McMahon as curate to the Rev Father Treanor at the parish of the Sacred Heart in this city. Since the opening of the new parish Father Treanor has had no assistant and the arduous duties of the pastorate were rendered more laborious by the erection of the new church and by the frequent fairs and festivals given under parish auspices.
 Father Murphy's coming will be wei comed by the parishionners many whom
 know him since his previous residence here when he was curate at the Immacu- late Conception church. His recent trans fer is from the church of St Augustine at Bridgeport where he was sent from this city to assist the Rev Father Crimmons.

THEY WE'RE LOCKED OUT.
Strange Adventure of a Well Know
 Citizen and NNicN.

Strange Adventure of a Well Known
 Citizen and Wife.
 Here is another funny Waterbury sto- certain well-known business man in Wa terbury. whose family were out of town and the servants at a ball, suggested that he with his wife should go to the thea tre Thursday night. In changing his clothes he failed to take his bunch of keys, among which was a night key to the house door. He was unconscious of the fact until they had nearly reached home at II D. m. By gad.' said he, my keys are in my other trousers pocket, is there any way to get into the house. His wife said 10. They made a tour round the house trying every window but they were as tightly locked as a vault in bank. The next query, Suggestion to go to the Scovill house for the night, wasn't deemed advisable, for the servants would be home later and be in as bad a fix as themselves. It was remembered that the laundry door had only a bolt for 8 lock. They threw their united weight, not less than $50 pounds, against the door, it gave away but with it came the entire side of one of the castings. The crash reused the neighborhood, and 1T less than five minutes 20 people were or the spOt as they were sure that t was the work of burglar. Several boxes oi cigars were distributed in that neighbOr hood yesterday and some of the mer were mean enough to hope that theil friend will lock himself out of his owt home again,

Jack and Joe.

l have to get an OvercOat, Says Jack to his friend Joe, And with but little cash to spend, Where had l better go? This buying clothes just bothers me, The smartest man can't tell From looking at a coat, just if The goods will wear real well. And lots of these ere clothing men Are that keen on a trade, They'll lie like sixty anyhow About how clothes are made. And some they stick the dollars on, And then you have plenty to do Till they take off what they put on, Whispering Just for you. Now don't like that kind of way, And blame me if I know With just the little cash I've got Where it is the best to go. Says Joe to Jack, know your fix For I've been that way too, But you'll get over that right quick If you trade where I do.

Another County Heard From.

While we have nothing to say as yet as to the feasibility of the scheme for the new county, we would offer the sugges- tion that, if the new county is formed, it be called 'Naugatuck county" in stead of ''Waterbury county by which latter name everybody seems to take for granted it will be known. We suggest this not because Naugatuck happens to be the name of our own town, but be- cause it is a name which is known far and wide it is an old historic name and the Naugatuck valley is an historic region. Too much cannot be done to perpetuate these old Indian names, often so beautiful and so richly significant, ,and their use showing the Americanism of those who employ them.-Nalgatuck Review
