 He Goes Again.-"There goes that wag- on agsin," as the little five year old country boy said on his first visit to the city, when be saw one after another of the street cars passing at intervals of five minutes, and their similarity leading him to suppose that one car alone was doing all the business ''There goes that wagon again, papa" said he. and so we might say of Merchant Clark. There goes that Clark again to New York to buy goods. MT. 0. went last Mon day, and this time will bring home with him Barnum's entire hippodrome aud great worlds fair of curiosities for Christmas. 
 Candles vs. Globes.-MR. EDITOR: At a recent school meeting in Cornwall Hol- low, held for the purpose of taking into consideration the building of suitable out houses and furnishing the school with geo graphical globes, one public spirited indi- vidual said he was perfectly willing to vote for and pay tax for building privy, but should oppose the purchase of globes, for the reason that only two school meetings a year were held there, and candles would answer the purpose just as well as globes, thereby saying an unnecessary outlay of funds. OCCASIONAL.
 Time Table Changes.-The Housatonic and Naugatuck railroads change their time tables in THE NEWS this week. The change of Housatonic trains is slight and unimport- ant to the travelling public hereabout- The | second passenger train south on the Naug
 atuck roads runs two hours earlier than by the old table, and makes close and very important and desirable connection in Win sted with Conductor Eggleston's forenoon train east. By this arrangement, passen- gers can leave here on Mir. Eggleston's train and go to Waterbury, or even lower than l that city on the Naugatuck road, and have two or three hours, and return home at | night.

 Reading Rooms.--The people of Lake
 vile are moving to establish reading room
 in that village. The idea is most excel
 lent one, and one We presume they vii
 succeed in putting into tangible form. Tn
 effort in this village last winter was aban doned on account of there being no suits ble room, which could be obtained, an there was no alternative but to erect building for the purpose, which ws thought scarcely advisable. Properly COT ducted reading rooms will do more to prt mote morality, and to lift the rising gel eration" from the level of loaferdom, tha any other one of the established institution of civilization, and we sincerely hope tt e newly developed enterprise in Lakevil s will be such brilliant success, that oth, e towns and villages will be prompted to g t and do likewise. Let everybody encouras e reading rooms, and may they come to = regarded as second only in importance o tue free school system of the country. r.
