 A Spindle hill farmer drove into town to-day with load of turnips and announced that no market was complete without bushel of them in the window, all the other kinds being nothing more than cattle food The old fellow was good talker and made converts so fast that he quickly disposed of the whole load at 60 cents a bushel and then drove oil up North Main street stating as he whipped his gray colt that he has over 200 bushels more and will keep bringing them in while there is 8 demand for them. They are the old fashion stone turnip, but the dealer denied this and claimed that this is the first time stock of that kind has been offered for sale in Waterbury.

 Somebody who ought to be whip ped daubed the steps and posts lead- ing to the wooden structure in the rear of St Francis Xaviers church 1 on Washington street last night l with tar, and did the job so nicely one would think the black stuff was applied by skilled artist. A crowd of men were at work laying side- | walks and when quitting time came they left a can of tar and a broom sticking in 1t near the church proper ty. During the night some mis- chievous cuss happened to get his eye on 1t and thought he would see what use he could make of it. Who ever did the job ought to be thank full that Father Curtin didn't come around while he was welding the broom. It must have been done by some thoughtless youth, because it does not seem that any grown per- son would be guilty of such mean trick.
