Press Sympathy for Hyde Park

The ST. Adams Messenger of Monday
last extends to Hyde Park sympathy in
the following kindly words -
"The sympathy of ST. Adams people
will go out to their fellow citizens of
Hyde Park in the great loss by fire that
has fallen to that busy village. Most
ambitious Vermont communities have
in the way of natural limitations to
struggle against under the most favor
able circumstances, but when such a
blow as that which has fallen to our
neighbors intervenes, it takes well.nigh
all the best of Green Mountain pluck to
see the silver lining in the cloud. But
there are plucky men and women in
Hyde Park and it will never be wiped
off the map"
The Barre Times speaks in this phil
osophical manner about the fire.
"Severe as was the blow to Hyde
Park through yesterdays disastrous
fire, the burden is nevertheless Eghtenened
by the scattering of the loss through
public ownership of much of the burned
property. Included in the property de-
stroyed were the county courthouse and
the county Jail. which the entire taxpay-
ing population OF Lamoille county will
be called on to replace. Another build
ing was the town hall, which the tax
payers of the town will be called upon to
rebuild. Then, again, another item of
heavy loss was the Congregational
church structure, and the loss of this
falls not upon individuals, but upon a
collection of individuals. Of course,
there were many private losses, and in
part of these the burden will be heavy.
But probably quarter, at least, of the
loss was sustained by collections of in
dividuals, and the diffusion of the burden
will thus reduce its force. 1t will mean
an added county tax to rebuild the
courthouse and the Jail; slight increase
in the town tax to replace the town hall,
and cooperation of members and
friends to put UP church building.
Therefore, large as the fire was and
distressing to many, it was far less Sc
we're than might have been, had the same
loss fallen more upon individuals. More
over, Hyde Park is an energetic, hustling
community, and should be able to re-
cover from the shock of the catastrophe
much better than many another YER
mont town. Amidst the gloom which
pervades the place, there will come
shortly the light of hope and expectancy
for complete rebuilding and assumption
of the regular activities.

CONCERNING THE COURT, THE COURT

CONCERNING THE COURT, THE COURT
HOUSE AND THE GROUNDS
The vaults are all right, but will not be
opened until Saturday next, giving them
ample time to cool off.
The Assistant Judges were in the place
Monday and arranged to lave the June
term of County Court held in the ball
room at the hotel.
AS the law specifies, when Jail is de-
froyed by fire, prisoners shall be taken
p the Jail Of neighbrring county, so it
7lil be seen, that in spite of the fire, no
guilty man can escape.
The Court House was erected in 1885
and has been remodelled and enlarged
several times. Never before has there
been any fire there. although fire has
broken out in the Jail number of times.
The Probate Office and the County
Clerks office are now located in the large
room on the southeast corner of the
Hotel Phoenix, where all business per-
tanning to these offices may be transacted.
The grounds on which the county
buildings stood were given to the county
for that purpose by the late Nathaniel P.
Sawyer. The cemetery in this village,
where he is buried, was also given by
him, as well as the cemetery at the Cen
ter and that on HYDE Park Plains.

late sixties and the Bradley Barlow con.
ventlon in 1878. We believe every county
