- Addison County -

Middlebury is the chief town. The county is bounded on then north by Chittenden County, east by Washington and Orange Counties, and a part of Windsor County, south by Rutland County, and west by Lake Champlain.

Large quantities of white and beautifully variegated marble, which receives a fine polish, are found in this county, and large quantities of it are quarried and transported to various markets. The county is admirably well watered by Otter Creek, which rises near its southern boundary, and extends nearly through its centre; by Mad and White Rivers; and by Lake Champlain, which affords it many navigable privi- leges. The soil is good, particularly in those towns below the mount- ains, and bordering the lake and rivers. The scenery on the western borders of this county, lying, as it does, on Lake Champlain, is ex- ceedingly variegated and beautiful.

COURTS IN ADDISON COUNTY The Supreme Court sits at Middlebury, annually, on the first Tues- day in January, and the County Court on the second Tuesday in June and December.
