Proceedings Of the Rutland Comfy
Court Relative tO the Death Of
Hon. James IA. Hyde.


The following are the proceedings il
the Rutland County Court, now in session
here, which took place yesterday after,
noon, in reference to .the death of Hon
James K. Hyde
Hon. E. N. Briggs of Brandon rose and
said
Nay 1t Please the Court: I am requested
BY number Of the members of the Bar to
publicly announce the death in this court
of Hon James K. Hyde, one of its judges.
The event occurred at his residence in
Sudbury at two p IN. yesterday. He
came here to attend the>present term OF
the Court, which he did do for a time,
when he became prostrated By illness,
and sunk 80 rapidly that in day or two
it was deemed advisable TO remove him to
lis home, which was done 1t is proper
that something should be said in respect
to the memory Of such a man on this oo-
casion. / havo known him as an active
and capable business msn, and for a long
period he hss been respected as an affable
and courteous gentleman and citizen. He
has had the confdence of the people of
his own town to such an extent as to be
honored with all the Offices of that town,
and more recently he has represented his
town in the lower House of the Legisla-
turc, and his county ia the State Senate,
in all OF which he acquitted himself of his
duties with honor and distinction. One
year ago he was elected as Assistant
Judge Of the County Court, ana in his ab-
sence, SO Satisfied were the people With his
career on the bench, he was re-chosen
to that responsible position for two years
more. He returned home from an extend
ed tour through Europe only the Satur-
day before the comm nencement of this
court, and, in the enjoyment of his usual
good health, he hoped and believed he
he would be able to preside in the per-
formance of his duties at the present
term, the last of his f r,s official year, but
alas he has been called away. And here,
may 1t please the Court, allow me to say
that the members of this Bar held him in
high respect, and they have desired nae to
ask the Court to adj9urn, as mark of re-
spect to the memory of Hon James K.
Hyde. eN9 @ Il 30

Tho final adjournment was expected to

The attendance upon all the sessions of
the Convention was large. The best of
feeling prevailed among the delegates
from different parts of ths State; the dis
cussions were spirited, interesting, and
profitable, and calculated to advance the
cause of Methodism in Vermont. Doubt
less meetings of like character will not
be unfrequent in the future.

| Castleton. We had occasion a few
months since to chronicle the death OF
another brother, Hon. Oliver NJ. Hyde OF
Detroit, Michigan.
1t has been our privilege to have known
Judge Hyde from our early boyhood, and
have felt it due that this record of his life
and services should be made, as a loving
tribute to one whose friendship it was our
fortune to enjoy.
In 1868 Mr.. Hyde was one of the party
who sailed in the "Quaker City," on an
expedition to the Holy Land, which has
been so aptly and humerously ohronicled
by Mark Twain in his book entitled
"The Innocents Abroad" He went partly
had become somewhat impaired, and for
recreation. He returned greatly improved,
and was so interested in the sights of the
old world, and his tour having been limit
present year. In June last, accompanied
by his wife, he went abroad, making
tour of England, Ireland, Scotland,
France and Germany, and returned few
weeks since. Having had frequent inter
views with him relative to his former
travels he took occasion about the time OF
the threatening of the present war, while
in Italy, to write us a genial, descriptive,
private letter, which evince fine descrip-
tive powers. We will hereafter publish
this letter as close to this last tribute to
our departed friend.

THE SITUATION. - Dispatches from
Florence announce that on Tuesday night
the italian troops forced the gates of Rome
and entered the city. But little resist
ance was opposed by the garrison, who
had been ordered by the Pope to refrain
from firing upon the beseigers,
King William reports that Paris is COM
pletely invested by the Prussian troops.
A number of skirmishes have occurred in
the environs, in which both sides claim
to have been victorious.
It,is reported that large bodies of volun-
teers are now concentrating in various
portions of the Republic, and will soon be
ready to take the field.
No further reports have baen received
concerning the result of N. Jules Favre's
mission to the Prussian headquarters.

THE CENSUS OF VERMONT. - The
Free Press in speaking of the census OF
Vermont remarks that the Mar=hal and
his assistants are now rapidly closing up
the work of taking the census, and we
shall soon be able to give the figures for
the State at large. 1t IS already plain
that the State has made a gain of 10000
to $4,000 in population in the ten years.
A large portion of this is in Cnittenden
County, which shows the handsome net
gain of 1921.

cession is made to the claim of location
there are reasons why Gen. Grout is like

dignity and ability. 1t is TO be hoped,
however, that the silly claim of location
may not be seriously taken into consider

LUDLow.-Black River Academy hal

The Universalist Sabbath School had

Driving Park, last Saturday.
The Fair at the Driving Park will

tuIe.
The sham Hutchinson Family, who
gaae q concert in this place last Wednes-
day, will not feel anxious 70 repeat it very
soon. a raid was made on the door keep
er, as som as it was known that it was a
humbug, and ne paid over as long as he
could and then run. We are friends to
the Hutchinsons but not to imposters.
Is it not remarkable coincidence
that the Pope of Rome proclaimed the
dogma of infallibility, and the Emperor
Napoleon declared war against Prussia on
the same day. From that hour Pope and
Emperor have beer going down with
rapid strides. For years the Papal pow
er has been supported by French bayonets,
the Pope in his arrogance puts himself in
the place of God and quick as lightning
falls the bolt on Priest and King.
To-day Napoleon is a prisoner and
Paris beseiged. To-Day the Pope is a
prisoner within the walls of Rome, and
itself surrounded by hostile forces. Surely
there is a striking, if not startling coin
oidence in these two facts. Does il not
look as if these events were transpiring |
to accomplish Gods own purposes, that
the actors are mere instruments in his
bands.
