very great danger exists from their de-
struction by fire. The Court House is large
wood structure fifty feet square, On the sides
are two small brick buildings, 20 4 40 each,
connected with and entirely overshadowed by
the large wood Court House. One of the
brick buildings contains the Registrg of Deeds
and the Probate office. They are nominally
fire proof, and if not connected with the Court
House might be SO. But let, by any means.
the Court House take fire nothing could save
these brick annexes from destruction. The
intense heat, generated by the combustible
materials OF the Court House, would crumble
into shapeless ruins these small brick buildings
and all their contents We have had expert
ence enough of that kind in our great fire of
1866.
1t cannot but commend itself to all that the
preservation Of these records is a very impor-
tant matter and something should be done to
have them recopied and placed in safe place
or printed.
The portion of records pertaining to estates
situated in Cumberland county, if nothing
different could be effected, could be copied aud
deposited in the Registry of Deeds in this
county, where they could be easily accessible
to those having occasion to refer to them.
/ have made these suggestions for what they
are worth, hoping thas they will stimulate &C.
ton so that the result can be accomplished in
some way.
An agitation was had of this matter twenty
years since but 1t ended in nothing. Let all
who are interested in this subject make known
their views in some proper form to those hav-
ing authority in the matter so that it shall
be no longer neglected. j. L. Ell.

Ancient Records in York county


During visit short time since to Alfred
Court House spent day examining the old
records in the Registry of Deeds. There are
thirty-four volumes of conyeyances from 1647
to 1850, the last being the year that Cumber-
land county was formed. During that term of
113 years York county comprised the whole of
Maine, and those records embrace all the early
land titles interviewer as they are with the
history of our State during that long period.
They are in tolerable state of preservation,
but it appeared to me that considering their
important value, some means should be taken
to reproduce them. We have in Cumberland
county, and especially in this city should have,
great interest in their proper preservation.
Ali our real estate titles rest upon those
records. The conveYances from Sir Fernando
Gorges to George Cleeves; the deeds by
Gorges' heirs to Massachusetts; the grants of
Sir Edmond Andres and of President Dan
forth and various other important titles are
there found. About one third of the deeds re-
corded pertain to property in what is now
Cumberland county. Even if no accident
happens to them the march of time will
in few years entirely obliterate the ear
lier and most important volumes. But a
