 BETHEL.
 GOOD PLACE TO LIVE AND DC BUSINESS. A citizens meeting was held in the Town hall on Monday evening, and organized new Board of Trade. Efforts will be made to start business 1 in one or two vacant hat factories in town, and also to encourage other firms to locate in Bethel, where an abundance of water, public gas and every other facility for doing a suc- cesSful business may be found. The present factories are working on full time, and all have a full compile | ment of good steady class of working men and women. Intemperance in the town is an evil of the past. Our pub- lie schools are the best in the state, and our highways are as good as any in the state.
