 Wadhams post, c. A. R., and the
 Women's Relief corps, so long tenants | at G. A. R. block on East Main street, | will soon remove to Jones, Morgan x | Co.'S building on Bank street. An ad-
 vance in rent is said to have had some thing to do with the change. They were not able to meet the increase and as result they were forced to seek other quarters. In some places the municipalities furnish meeting places for the G. A. R. and there is no reason something should not be done in Wa terbury.
 The merchants are getting things ready for the Christmas trade and a" cording to what the managers say some ! of the show window efforts will be i the best seen here in years. If this i be so the artists will have to do their ! prettiest. for even away back in the i days when Waterbury was q smali 1 town the dealers made up catchy show windows for the Christmas time, so much so that people used to come iE ! for miles around to admire them and usually most of them bought some thing before returning home. 4 man who used to think it the ! gAODtl LAAhE LO AAsA ht tA btAAANA oA NitNA i ill the house for winter has changed his mind and says he wouldn't take I one now as a present. 4 short time ! ago he placed a barrel full of the real ] thing in snug corner of the cellar and cOnsOled himself with the idea i that he would have a nice drink for i himself and his friends as long as it { lasted. But it didn't last long, for
 on the night after he put it in it ex- ! plOded and made such a racket the | folks thought the house was coming i down. He forgot to give it vent and ] it worked so well that the barrel was not able to hold it.
 It is understood that the plumbe. whose men Commissioner Jackson saw i filling in a trench on Pine street the other day will escape punishment by the closest kind of q shave Owing to the difficulty in back filling to good advantage the board does not allow people to open the streets after the frost sets in except by special permit which must be obtained from the board. In this case 1t appears that the ditch was opened before the time limit. but owing to some delay 1t was not closed and the contractor didn't think ! it necessary to ask permission 10 fill 1t in. The plumbers are 'cOrkers. that's what one of the commissioners of public works termed them when the Pine street matter was on.
