ADDISON COUNTY COURT.
Term Opens with Hon. Frank 1
Fish as Presiding Judge.

The June term of the superior court
for Addison county was opened Tues
day forenoon with Hon. Frank l.. Fish
of Vergennes as presiding judge.
Sheriff Olin A. Smith of Addison called
the court to order at 10 o'clock and
after prayer by President John M.
Thomas of Middlebury college, Judge
Fish made some Introductory remarks
as follows:
1t has not been the fortune of this
county to have had so many judges as
most of the other large counties in our
State but it was the lot of this county
to have had one of the earliest of the
judges and it is its fate, it seems, to
have had the latest. Its earliest as wei
as it latest Judge was chosen from the
city of Vergennes. The first judge was
Enoch Woodbridge, who came from
Massachusetts and located in Ver
gennes in 1890. He was the grand
father of the late Hon. F. E. Wood
bridge. Judge Woodbridge was grad
L
luton, was with Montgomery at
Quebec, participated in the battles of
Hubbardton, Bennington and White
Plains and was at the surrender of
Burgoyne. He was the first mayor of
Vergennes, was repeatedly reelected
to the Legislature and in 1894 was
elected Judge of the Supreme court.
In 1898 he was made chief judge, a
position which he held until 1900.
The second judicial honor which came
to this county fell to Joel Doolittle of
Middlebury, who came as the first tutor
in Middlebury college in 1900. He took
up the study of the law, was in active
practice until 1917, when he was elected
an assistant judge of the Supreme
court which position he held until 1924.
He too was graduate of Yale.
The third judge was Samuel S. Phelps
of Middlebury, father of the late Ed
ward j. Phelps, minister to the court
of St. James and distinguished lawyer
and man of letters. Judge Phelps was
a graduate of Yale. He prepared for
law at the Litchfeld Law school. Dur
ing the war of 1912 he was drafted and
ordered to the Canadian frontier. He
served in the ranks at Burlington and
Plattsburg. In 1881 he was elected as
a judge of the Supreme court and con-
tinued to hold that office until 1888
when he was elected U. S. Senator.
The fourth judicial honor to come to
our county was recognized in the ap-
pointment of John Pierpoint as a Su-
preme court judge. Judge Pierpoint
came to Vermont when a lad, from
Litchfield, Conn.,, whittier he returned
to study law at the Litchfeld Law
school. In 1882 he located in Vergennes
and for just 25 years practiced in that
city. In 1857 he was elected as judge
of the Supreme court and in 1865 was
advanced to the position of chief Judge
which place he held until his death in
1882 thus rounding out career on the
bench of just 25 years.
And it comes about that l am the
fifth to receive judicial honors in Addi-
son county and the third from the city
of Vergennes. And it is an interesting
and, as deem it, a fortunate circum-
stance, that am to hold my second
term of court in this court house at
Middlebury where l have tried nearly
all of my cases, and where l have
established whatever reputation l enjoy
as lawyer.
There was large assembly in the
Middlebury register. (Middlebury, Vt.) 1886-1937, 1912-06-07

By ALBERT PIKE.

Everywhere the sad eyes meet us,
In the evenings dusk they greet us,
And to come to them entreat us,
Every year;
you are growing old, 4" they tell us,
Every year.;
You are more alone,v they tell US,
Every year;
You can win no new affection,
You have only recollection,
Deeper sorrow and detection
Every year"
Too true; Lies shores are shifting
Every year;
And we are seward drifting
Every year;
Old places changing, fret us,
The living more forget us,
There are fewer to regret us,
Every year.
But the truer life grows higher,
Every year;
And it's morning star climbs higher
Everyyear;
Earth's hold on US grows slighter,
And the heavy burthen lighter,
And the Dawn Immortal brighter,
Everyyear.
