THE NEW READING ROOM.

During the past year much has been said about the proposed reading room over Betts' store. Much of this has been unauthorized and may have given false impression. Long anticipation is now to be realized and the public is invited to attend the opening of the room this (Fri- day) evening. The rooms have been cos fly furnished and nicely stocked with magazines, papers and games, all these through the generosity of friends who are greatly interested in the scheme. It is to be independent of church or society organization, but will be governed by a club organization, open to every man and boy over 10 in the village, the business ,tlairs and regulations to be in the hands of the board of directors, whose election was announced two weeks ago. It is proposed to give series of practical talks and other entertainments during the winter for the benefit of members. The rooms will be warmed and lighted until 10 D. m., every week day. The majority of those who visit the rooms tonight will be greatly surprised to see now nice and inviting they are. Every body is invited to inspect the rooms to- night. An informal program may be ex- prCted.

HE 1he Eagle, it seems, is only the EAGLE Bethel has had, all previous efforts having hee1 failure. The first number of the Eagle, which appeared last week, was very creditable sheet. Will Editor Allen make 1t pay where a dozen good men have failed? Hu can tell better after he has paid his bills for year. If the present depression in Danbury continues, where he must largely look for his advertising, 1t will be even anoth- CT obstacle for his indo mitable spirit to over come. In starting newspaper, promises for future support are en ncouraging, but good sol Id dollars in the treasury are mighty handy in paying printers, paper. etc., with which Ed itor Allen will soon become familiar It is a nice thing 10 work for glory, but it is mighty convenient to have little profit along with 1t. The Danbury News has such remarkable grip on the field, that, at the best, 1t must be hard sledding. The bright correspondent of the News very sensibly sums up the situation in U recent item. He says "since the Eagle made It's appearance the question has been asked, 'wnl Bethel support a paper9' Some nine or lO-we don't exactly remember which, although among the victims ourself-have spent time and money, and burned midnight oil supplying the town with a local newspa- per, and on each occasion it died the death of an unpatronized and unsupported journal. The last one to grapple with this long-felt want was John Rode meyer. He came here bright and cheerful from the land of Canaan, and went away sad and with q number of dol lars less than hc brought there. He didn't know 1t was loaded. He thought 1t perfectly harm less, but on Friday, November 16, 1885, he pub lIshed the following obituary notice We have decided to suspend publication, not be cause the Ledger isn'twanted but because the demand for 1t Is too great among the worthy poor. who are unable to pay for it." Not withstanding all this, here's hoping Editor Aliens most sanguine expectations may be realized.

 What came very near being disas- trous conflagration was promptly over come on Monday night. At 10.l5 John Leahy saw flames coming from hatch way in the rear of the old Wakeley house, now occupied by Druggist Kinsella, and raised an alarm. It took less than five minutes to gather force of helpers but by that time the flames were burning fiercely and the destruction of the house seemed almost inevitable. Energetic work, however, soon conquered them aud surprisingly little damage was done. The whole neighborhood drew a deep breath of relief, for high wind blew the flames directly toward several houses nearby. But for it's prompt discovery and quench- ing, iT might have destroyed several buildings. It was undoubtedly incendi- arV.
