 Five persons heavily laden with baggage arrived at the Naugatuck sta ton about the noon hour yesterday. They were strangers and could not speak word of English. At first they all had a bewildered look on their faces, but after a few minutes wait an express wagon drove up to the sta ton and a man alighted from the seat and spoke few words to them in their native tongue, which they seemed to understand in second, for very soon all were on their way to this section in the express wagon.
 How clever the youngsters are getting and what they will do to avoid Il whipping is illustrated in the follow ing manner, which happened in this district Monday morning before school opened. A small boy, probably years old, appeared at one of the notion stores and called for 5-cent watch. The proprietor gave the boy the watch and in return the boy gave him a $1O bill. The proprietor, who is an ex. official and who has had dealings ill this kind of business before, at once asked the child where he got the bill. The answer was that his mamma gave it to him. The merchant asked hin, where he lived but there was no an swer to this question, and the child started to leave the store, and the merchant followed and wanted the youngster to lead him to his home. The child insisted that it was time for school and that he did not want to be late, So the only thing for the ex- official to do was to go to the teachel at the Bank street school and explain the matter. The little fellow halted in front Of q house on Riverside park and said that was where he lived, but it was not the place. Then he said he lived in the country, and again that he lived on North Riverside street, where the boy entered house with the storekeeper who accompanied him, but the man after being brought face to face with a woman who was sup posed to be the child's mother found that 1t was not true. Finally be de cided to hand the boy over to the DO lice and was about to do so when he met a girl who recognized the boy and led them to his home. He went along willingly till he reached the corner of South Leonard street, then he Iain down on the walk and started to cry and it was necessary to carry him to his home. The mother of the child was interviewed and it was found that he had taken the billl from trunk in one of the rooms. She did not miss the money till she was asked about it. The woman considers herself lucky in getting her money back, for had some one else got hold of the bill it is very likely that she would never have heard of it.
