HYDEvILLE.
Allow me through the columns of your
excellent paper to speak briefly of Hyde
vile and its surroundings, which lies three
miles west of Castleton. The business of
the place has of late suffered considerably,
from conflagration, and yet there is still
much left to boast of. 1t is situated on the
line of the Rensselaer, and Saratoga rail
road, and at the outlet of Lake Bomoseen,
where there is one of the most valuable
water privileges in the state. The waters
of the lake here furnish power to slate
mile, marble mills, grst and saw mills,
etc. There Is an excellent foundry here
also, owned by Messrs. Graves and Lid
dell, where ploughs of the latest pattern,
aud castings of various kinds are manu-
featured, and shipped to all parts of the
country. There are stores, telegraph
office, and post office; and very large
quantities of every variety of slate and
marble are shipped from this section every
year. Billiard beds, nantes of all con-
ceivable styles, and roofing slate of all
sizes and colors are sent from this depot to
every point of the compass.
The attractions of Hydeville. aside from
business, are not few; the streets are
broad and well shaded, and the scenery I'M
usually wild and inviting to the tourist.
Mr.. r. W. Hyde is to remodel and fur
nish the residence of the late A. w. Hyde
for hotel purposes. The grounds are fine
ly shaded with trees and shubbery of var
ious kinds. In the rear Of and adjoining
the hotel, are spacious grounds. Connect
ed with these premises is the wharf from
which the steamboat takes its passengers,
and if one IS fond of piscatorial sports they
have only to embark in one of his excellent
row boats, from which they can fish for
bass, pike, pickerel, trout, and almost
every other kind of fish, which are found
80 abundantly in this lake. 1t matters not
which way one travels from it, beautiful
scenery is everywhere to be seen. There
is, doubtless, no place in Vermont more
attractive to the tourist in search of health
or pleasure, or both, than Lake Bomoseen.
1t lies imbedded in lovely valley, and its
banks are crowned with sloping meadows
and thick groves of stately trees, or when
these do not meet the eye steep sides of
rocky cliffs, with jutting crags, are visible
so that one is astonished and delighted with
the wild and romantic sights that present
themselves everywhere. All who know
the proverbia hospitality of the Hyde
family and the proprietor, are well satisfied
that the new hotel at Hydeville will be q
famous resort for those who wish to enjoy
all the comforts and elegancies of home life
and rural happiness on the shores of the
most beautiful lake in Vermont, and amid
the unriva,ed mountain scenery for which
this state is SO justly celebrated. We pre-
dict fine career for the Russell House.

a former pastor graced the pulpit, and his
voice was again heard in the Methodist

gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God
unto salvation TO every one that believeth
to the Jew first and also to the Greek" He
was listened to by one of the largest con-
gregations of the season, the Baptist friends

BILE portion. This must have been very g, I'll
