IRAsBURGH HOTEL CoMPANY.-From
the following record of the clerk it will
be seen that this company has organised
and gone into operation. In conjunction
with others we greet this fact with plea
sure. For months past the subject of
building new hotel has formed the sta
pie of conversation in this vicinity, but
until last Tuesday it was talk and Meth
ing more. On that day however some
thing tangible was seen. A company
was formed in accordance with a special
statute, the necessary stock to build said
hotel taken, and the officers elected for
the year ensuing. Over six thousand
dollars is now subscribed, and it that sum
is not sufficient more can be raised till
the required amount is had. The hotel
is to be built upon the site of the old one,
and is to be four stories high, eighty feet
long and forty-two feet wide, with wing
running back sixty feet When compile
ted il will be as nice hotel as there is in
northern Vermont, house that nobody
need be ashamed OF.
We now confidently expect to see our
village 60 ahead. The people owning
property here will feel like Sticking up
and doing something for themselves, their
ncighbors and the place, when such great
works OF improvement are begun. The
feeling Of insecurity heretofore enter
tanned by many in relation to the perma-
nency of the county buildings has deter
red many from erecting new buildings or
repairing old ones; they have suffered
things to 60 by default from fear that a
change of county seat might some day
be decided upon and thus decrease the
value of their property-hence the decay
of public spirit in Irasburgh.
The erection of new first class hotel
will insure the bringing of water to the
village, the lack of which has heretofore
been great grievance TO our citizens
and just cause Of complaint from those
who have to come here to transact bust
ness.
The getting of the lumber, &c, for the
hotel will be entered upon Immediately,
and at the close of the next session of
our county court in June, the buildings
will be put up. They will be finished
In season for the December term. Hur-
rahi our prayers arc In a fair way to be
answered; when they are we shall try
egain.

Resoired, That in the unparalleled I'M
animity with which the people of the
northern states have rallied to the sup
bort of the government in its conflict
with an armed rebellion, we recognise an
answer TO the prayers OF Christians, which
Gals for devout gratitude to God.
ReSotred, That while we realise and
deplore the horrors of war we do yet
more heartily deplore the horrors of an
unrighteous peace, and will pray without
ceasng that the present war may not end
till rebellion shall be utterly suppressed,
treason be brought to condgn punish
ment, the authority of the government be
re-established throughout the entire land
and our country become in fact, as it is
in theory, land of freedom.
