 The West Main street residents have about reached the limit of their patience with the hoodlums who enter their yards, steal flowers, trample down plants and shrubbery, pull up plants by the roots, open water faucets, etc. Several of these outrages were perpetrated last week and arrests will certainly follow the next act of the sort if the identity of the miscre- ant can be established.
 A. J. Wigglesworth had his troubles in moving his household effects from Naugatuck to Canaan. Part of them arrived here when they should have ar rived and the balance came piecemeal afterward, having gone astray.

 The Reliable Manufacturing Compa- ny slong expected machinery has arrived and large quantities of children's hosiery are now being made. The summer goods are being manufactured at the present time, but the making of winter goods will be commenced in two or three weeks.
