HISTORY OF MIDDLEBURY AND OF ADD
son CoUNTY,--Judge SWIFT, at the request
Of the Historical Society of Middlebury,
has been engaged for two or three years
past in writing the L" History Of Middle
bury and the Statistical and Historical
History of Addison County, The man.
uscript is now completed and in the prin-
tiers hands, and the work will be published
early in August. 1t is not necessary for
us to state in detail what the work is to
be, as the Prospectus has been published
in our columns. Judge Swift came to
Middlebury about 1900, and there is only
one person now living in M~iddlebury, who
was living here when he came. The His
torical Society was fortunate in getting
Judge Swift to write these Histories, for
he is peculiarly fitted for it, and there is
no one so well qualified, or so well ac-
quainted with the History of Middlebury
and Addison County as the Judge. The
work will be very interesting, and every
person in the County ought to have a
copy, for his W and his cbildren's
benefit. This work is not like most books,
saleable in all parts of the Union, but the
sale is confined to our own County, and
must therefore have a limited circulation,
and every one who wants a copy should
subscribe at once as but a few copies will be
published, more than are subscribed for.
The price Of the History Of Middlebury
and the County, is only $3.50 to Sub
scriberS. 1t will be well bound in cloth,
and contain 400 octave pages. The work
will be illustrated by the portraits of sew
eral prominent citizens.
I'VE understand that Mrs. Meacham
the Manager of the Mount Vernon Asso-
citation for Addison County, has nearly
completed the organization of the County.
The several towns have responded very
encouragingly and there is excellent reason
to expect that Addison County will do It.
self honor in affording material aid to this
great national enterprise. Miss Mary
Warner is appointed Assistant Manager,
for Middlebury. The other towns Of the
County will be reported next week.
1--WE are told hat a considerable
number of fine young trees of several
years growth in different parts of the vii
lage, are dying for lack of proper support.
The owners should look to this. We I'M
derstand that the neat projections which
have been so numerously erected recently
can be afforded for 20 cts. each.
lit will be seen by a card in anoth-
er column, that our former townsman W.
F. Bascom, Esq, has again located him
self in our village for the practice of law.
We are happy to be able to make this an
nouncement as the professional opening in
this town and County seems to be a good
one. Mr.. Bascom is a gentleman of ac-
knowledged ability, and his success will be
regarded as certain.
.... Calf-stories are in order at this
session and, accordingly, we have one
from David Cutting, Shoreham, who has
a Durham COW, eight years old which on
the I'd of May dropped a heller calf that
weighed one hundred and twenty-five
pounds,
....It will be noticed that this paper
contains the call for the Republican Co.
Convention. A fuller attendance than is
usual is desirable.
The General Congregational Conven-
ton of this State will be held at Vergen-
mes on the third Tuesday of June.
