 During the past few weeks several valuable articles lost and advertised in the Democrat have been picked up on the streets and returned to the owners. There is nothing very unusual about this. though to be sure large number of articles lost in places where one would expect to have them fall into the hands of honest people never are heard from. After all it is nice thing 10 be honest and go through life with a determination to observe the golden rule in all things. One feels so when he sees a person call at the office and hand in watch or something which he or she. as the case may be. found and noticed it advertised in the paper. The other day Mrs McHugh of A Cooke street called at the Democrat office and left an expensive watch to be turned over to the owner. and a trifie later Mary Mansfield of Stone street reported with beautiful fob and charm which she picked up in trolley car. Both articles belonged to well known Waterbury people, and it goes without saying that they were very much pleased to come into pos session of the lost property.
