 "A number of Brooklynites were at the Naugatuck station this morn- ing when the tickets for the excur- sion to New York next Monday by the New York, New Haven 0 Hart ford railroad went on sale.

 A fruit wagon loaded down with produce just taken from a store in Wards flats met with a mishap just as the driver was about to start off to dispose of his ware this morning. All kinds of fruit and vegetables were loaded on, consequently when the rear wheel caved in the contents of the wagon, or poodly portion at least. mingled with the mud on Bank street. The anger of the owner knew no bounds. but there was no one whom he could blame for the ac- cident, consequently he had to make the best of it, and start to repair the vehicle.
 The Bank street pavement between North Leonard and North Riverside streets has very bad hole in 1t due to teamsters allowing heavy barrels to hit the pavement without putting some kind of board on the ground to protect the bricks. Drivers when they are unloading heavy barrels are supposed to lay skids on the paye- ment. but of late they have grown careless and the pavement is suffer- Ing as result. Although the dam- age caused by these barrels is not at first when the practice Is continued the effect is very con- spicuous as the hollow mentioned above If it becomes much worse will prove very treacherous for horses.
