THE New HAWESVILLE COURT
HoUsE.-The new court house at
Hawesvfile, Ky, was dedicated to
Justice, Liberty and Law, on the eve
ming of the 18th inst. BY the ladies
of that city, assisted BY the gentle
men. of course, in a series Of splendid
tableaux. One lady represented JUS
tice, with her scales and sword, blind
folded; q little Miss of ten years rep.
resented Spring; one of thirteen years
represented Summer; a young lady
represented Autumn; and a mar rep
resented Winter, each clothed in ap-
propriate costume. The representa-
tives of the seasons welcomed Justice
to her new temple, 50 admirably de-
signed and so successfully executed
by our own architect and fellow citi-
zen, Mr.. Robert Boyd.
The editor Of the Cannelton Re
porter, who is a gentleman of fine
taste, pronouncess this building a mag
nificent success work OF which Mr..
Boyd may we'll be proud of as display
ing not only his architectural skill,
but also his honesty and unsurpassed
taste. The Court reo is IL by 43
feet In area and q feet high, Furnish
ed with chestnut and black walnut,
with some fine paintings and scenic
exhibitions. The structure is on the
Doric style, and is said to be one of
Mr.. Boyd's happiest efforts. The peo-
pie of Hancock County, the Reporter
says, are justly proud Of their new
building. and as a Hoosier, the editor
Of the Reported considers that he has
a right to feel a degree of pride from
the fact that the brain that originated
the plan and the skill that executed
it, halls from Indiana. The ceremo
MES Of inauguration are said to have
been very beautiful and impressive.
The seasons invoked Themis, the
Goddess of Justice, to preside in this
beautiful temple, which she in fitting
grace consented to do, but said. Yet
e'er 1 listen from one pleading from
human lips within my temple, whose
and whose beauty, whose har-
mony and whose grace shall hold me
a willing visitor, l must deliver this
message: A need of cordial thanks
every lip and every, heart to the
mortal who has so well performed his
architect of this my earth
ly palace-Robert Boyd"
