James Flynn was on Monday fined So

Pity that q prosperous livery man cannot
procure veal chops enough.
Barnum's Circus is reported now as
about to give Ne England the go-by this
summer. Never mind children, Some
other greatest on earth" will tramp this
way instead.
Last Wednesday night the Road Commits
sioners elected James nj. Colley for street
Inspector, in place of Ralph r. Bronson,
whose time has expired. Our streets will
now be in better condition for Jim is an
experienced roadster himself.
1t is said that coal is to be cheaper soon,
bat it is safe to say it won't drop very low
till after the snow and ice have disappeared,
and common people can get along without
a FIRE only in the kitchen stove with the
drafts closed nearly half the time.
The prospect is very bright for carpen-
ters and masons. If only the contractors
will treat their men Justly, and pay them
what they deserve, there win be many new
buildingt erected, and there need be no
coEfiict between contractor and mechanic.
News papers have their jokes as well as
other folks. The latest among the fra
ternity is the Connecticut State Register
and manual CHASING the Waterbury
American as an Independent Republican
paper" Considering that it has not said q
square word of praise in favor of any
prominent Republican in twelve month,
it puzzles the boys to know what this Hinde-
pendence" means.
A Railroad from Waterbury to New
Haven along the east bank of the Nauga-
tuck and thence through Stratisville,
Bethany, Woodbridge and Westville to

railroad center, and The EXAMINER
carriers distributing genuine indepen-
dent paper among a 100, 900 people.
Two more lawyers are coming to town.

gentlemen say that were it not for lawyers
people would eat each other up; that life
and property are safe and valuable in
Waterbury and unsafe and of little value
in Timbucteo, because the former city has
plenty of lawyers whiletthe other has none.
Our readers may believe this or not as they
choose.
The Sunday Herald has, by its second
number, got itself into a scrape with re-
markable S,cJtness by sample of most
egregious freshness, and will probably gain
experience and receive chastisement in the
shape of an assessment for damages as a
result of its unfounded and shameful attack
on Mr.. David of the fremont House last
Sunday. Claiming to be the workingman's
friend, it did not scruple TO outfageously
libel Woodworking and industrious citl-
gen.
1t is said that the construction of the
Waterbury and Meriden railroad is costing
more than was originally contemplated,
This is owing to the inexperience of the
engineers, and too many walking bosses
The track in the seoville comRany's ditch
was the result of blunder, and filing it
in with cakes of ice and frozen dirt, SO
that it viii probably break out again, was
another. But the young and self sufficient
engineers would have it SO. However it's
consolation that we are to have the road
running soon enough to bring us shad this
spring fresh from the Connecticut river.
PoLoIsTIC RUNNERS.
1t is not to be wondered at that the So
called Waterbury Polo club loses nearly
| every game it plays. Its prolonged racket
| last Sunday night, ending at three o'clock
NEXT morning in mapdlin serenade at one
of our hotels, was good sample Of the
