The Franklin Republican, the first paper established in Fort Covington in 1826, J. Ketchum Averill, publisher. He remained but a few months, the paper passing into the hands of James Long, a practical printer, with whom Samuel Hoard, up to that time a merchant, became joint proprietor and editor. After a few years Long left, leaving Hoard sole proprietor, who, in 1832, advanced F. D. Flan- ders to partnership in the office. In 1833, Hoard left to take editorial charge of the St. Lawrence Republican, published at Ogdensburgh, leaving Flanders to run the Franklin Republican alone. The paper was discontinued at the end of the volume in the fall, and the next spring Flanders became a partner in the publication of the Re- publican at Ogdensburgh, and, Hoard being absent during the summer, had entire charge of the paper.

Such is but a brief and poor outline of the busy life and constant labors of the subject of this sketch. Beyond this, over and above it, underlying and pervading it all, is the inner life, the inestimable worth, the too-often unobserved but true glory of an upright, just, and almost perfect man. If there was a trait in the character of Mr. Allen more conspicuous than another, it was an inborn love of justice. With a keen perception of right and wrong, he was rigidly and sternly upright. Plain and straightforward in speech, where it was his duty to speak he was always considerate of the feelings and rights of others.

As a citizen, a neighbor, and a friend he was without re- proaeli and beloved for his good qualities by all who knew him or came in contact with him; and as such, although for many years withdrawn from active duties, he will be missed by all, and truly mourned by those who knew him best. He died May 7, 1878.'

The Franklin Gazette was started at Fort Covington in the fall of 1837, F. D. Flanders editor and proprietor. It was prohibited circulation in the Canada mail by Sir John Colburn for too free exercise of the freedom of speech during the rebellion. In 1847 the office was removed to Malone. In 1861 its circulation in the mails was again prohibited by the postmaster-general of the United States, the order remaining in force sixteen months. In 1870 the office was leased for six years to A. N. Merchant, Flan- ders remaining editor, without restrictions upon his dis- eretion. In 1876 the office was purchased by John Law, its present proprietor, Flanders still holding the position of editor.

The Gazette is now in a prosperous condition, and is one of the best local journals in Northern New York. It is uncompromisingly Democratic, and exerts a strong influence in the Democratic party.

HISTORY OF FRANKLIN COUNTY, NEW YORK.

The Salmon River Messenger was started at Fort Cov- ington in 1853 or 1854, by J. D. Fisk, and was continued two or three years.

The Jeffersonian was begun at Malone in 1853 by J. R. Flanders, and continued about two years.

The Chateaugay Journal was started by I. Van Bus- kirk. He sold the establishment to A. N. Merehant, who changed it to the Star. The Star was printed at Bur- lington, Vt.

The Chateaugay Record was started in 1877 by Meritt & Huntington, and was continued by the firm about one year, when it passed into the hands of Mr. Chas. A. Hunt- ington, who has sinee continued it. Independent, the Record is a good local paper, and well deserves its present popularity.

The North Star was started at Brushton, April 24, 1877, by W. W. W. Belknapp. April 10, 1879, L. S. Gregg purchased a half-interest in the paper, and it is now pub- lished by Belknapp & Gregg. It is a seven-column folio, and neutral in polities.

"' Resolved, That the members of this society will forbear to drink ardent spirits ourselves ; that we will not treat our friends with it, nor give it to our workmen ; nor will we in any case prescribe it for our patients, unless the urgency of the case imperiously demand.'

SIDNEY P. BATES* was born in Derby, Orleans Co., Vt., Feb. 16, 1815. His father died Jan. 7, 1815, and his mother in the following March, thus early leaving him an orphaned child. At the age of three months he was adopted by an uncle, Mr. Joseph Bates, of Randolph, Vt. He removed to Malone in 1821, bringing young Bates with him, and here was passed his boyhood and youth.

He was educated at Franklin Academy ; and having manifested a desire to enter the lists of med- icine, he was encouraged by the celebrated Dr. Ros- well Bates, so long a successful practitioner at Fort Covington, with whom he commenced the study of medicine in 1835.

He subsequently entered the Vermont Medical College at Woodstock (now located at Burlington), where he graduated in 1840. In the autumn of that year he commenced practice in Hartland village, Vt., a short distance north of Windsor, where he remained until 1847, when he removed to Malone, where he has since been engaged with great success in the active practice of his profession.

June 23, 1842, he united in marriage with Miss Maria Briggs, a sister of the wife of Dr. Roswell Bates, mentioned above. They have one child living,-Agnes E., wife of Rev. Herman C. Riggs, a Presbyterian clergyman, and present pastor of St. Peter's Presbyterian Church, at Rochester, N. Y.

Dr. Bates has ever manifested a remarkable in-

terest in the advancement of the science and practice of physics and surgery, and every movement which had for its object the improvement of the profession generally found in him a vigorous advocate. He was a member of the old Franklin County Medical Society, in 1840, as a "licentiate," and subsequently became one of its leading spirits.

He was instrumental in the organization of the present medical society, and was a member of the first board of censors. He was president of the society in 1870, and in 1871 was chosen secretary of the society, and has served in that capacity contin- uously from that time to the present.

Dr. Bates was one of the original members of the Northern New York Medical Association, and has been secretary of the society from its organization, in 1870, to the present time. While he has ever loved his profession with the ardor which those destined to adorn either of the learned professions must feel and cherish, he has also been alive to the prosperity and welfare of the village and county wherein he resides. The educational interests of the county, particularly, have received his earnest and enthusiastic support. He was town superintendent of schools under the old régime, and has since served twelve years as school commissioner of the First District.

Politically he is a Republican, and has been since the organization of that party. He was previously a Whig. In religious matters he is a Congregation- alist, and a member of the Congregational Church at Malone.

* Dr. Bates traces his genealogy back to 1662, on the pater- nal side, and on the maternal side to 1634.

JAMES S. PHILLIPS, M.D., son of John P. and Arritta Melinda Stuart Phillips, was born in Westville, Franklin Co., N. Y., July 12, 1824. His parents died when he was young, thus, carly in life, throwing him upon his own resources. Hc attended the common schools of his native town during the winter season, while in the summer his time was spent working on a farm and in a forge. It is said that he commenced work in the forge before he had sufficient strength to lift a basket of coal.

After attending the common schools for some time, he entered the Franklin Academy, at Malonc. Here he remained until he commenced the study of his chosen profession, with Dr. R. E. Morey, of West- ville. About one year later he entered the office of Dr. Roswell Bates, of Fort Covington, where, for five years, he continued his studies. He took his first course at the medical college in Castleton, Vt., and in 1855 graduated from the Medical University College, in New York City.

. Dr. Phillips, upon leaving college, settled in West- ville, and remained four years, when he removed to Malone, and has since continued in the active prac- tice of his profession withi eminent success. He was an active member of the old medical society, and secretary of the same when its meetings ceased ; was

one of the original members of the present medical society, and also of the Northern New York Medical Association. Politically Dr. Phillips is a Repub- lican, and has been one since the organization of the party. He was previously a Whig. He has never sought official position in any of the walks of life, preferring rather to attend strictly to the duties of his profession.

In 1873, in consequence of impaired health, he made a tour of Europe, visiting the celebrated hos- pitals of the Continent and of Great Britain, spending considerable time in the hospitals of Paris, Vienna, London, Edinburgh, and Dublin. .

Dec. 16, 1862, he united in marriage with Carrie Elizabeth Beman, a native of Malone, and their family consists of one child,-Sarah Beman Phillips. Mrs. Phillips is a granddaughter of Nathan Beman, who has gone down in history as the youth who piloted Ethan Allen into the fort at Ticonderoga, where, on that May morning, in 1775, he politely demanded the surrender of the British garrison " in the name of the Great Jehovali and the Continental Congress."

Dr. Phillips joined the order of Freemasons in an early day, and received the highest honors that the lodges and chapters to which he belonged could confer.

CALVIN SKINNER, M.D., son of Calvin and Sarah Bil- lings Skinner, was born in Royalton, Vt., May 22, 1818. Like many of the representative men of to-day, his boy- hood was passed on a farm, where he worked during the summer, and attended the village school during the winter. He was prepared for college at Royalton Academy, and subsequently entered the University of Vermont, located at Burlington.

Having decided to make the study and practice of med- icine a life-work, in 1837 he commenced the study of his chosen profession in the office of Dr. Joseph A. Denison, at that time a prominent physician residing in Royalton. He entered the Dartmouth Medical College, where he graduated in 1840, and subsequently went to New York and took a course of lectures in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, at the same time officiating as assistant phy- sician in the general hospital.

In 1841 he returned to his native State, and formed a copartnership for the practice of medicine with Dr. Daniel Huntington at Rochester. He remained with him one year, and in 1842 removed to Malone, where he has since resided. Upon his removal to this place, it is but just to say that lie at once took a prominent rank among the phy- sieians and surgeons of Northern New York, a position which he has honorably maintained to the present time.

Sept. 15, 1842, he united in marriage with Jane P. Blodgett, a native of Royalton, and their family consists of six children,-three daughters and three sons,-viz., Eleanor P., Samuel B., Henry C., Alice L., William C., and Bes- sie C.

Dr. Skinner has always manifested an interest in the general advanecment of the profession, and was a member of the old Franklin County Medieal Society ; and upon the organization of the present society was a member of the first board of censors, and has also been president and secretary of the society. He was also one of the original

members of the Northern New York Medical Association, and first treasurer of the same.

In the spring of 1862 the Secretary of War requested the organization, under the authority of Governor Morgan, of an " auxiliary corps of volunteer surgeons," who were to report for duty at onee, and were to serve without com- pensation. Under this call, Dr. Skinner was commissioned, April 19, 1862, as a member of the " special corps of vol- unteer surgeons," being the only surgcon commissioned in the State north of Albany. He served with distinguished eredit in this corps, and in this connection we give the fol- lowing extraet from a letter written him by J. Oakley Van- derpoel, Surgeon-General State of New York, under date of July 17, 1862 :

"I appreciate fully the labors of the corps of volunteer surgeons. They were, with scarcely an exception, a noble and hard-working body of men, and did their duty to the full extent of the opportunity offered. The recollection in after-life will be one of pure, unalloyed satisfaction in so nobly and promptly responding to a gratuitous call.

" Truly yours, J. OAKLEY VANDERPOEL, " Surgeon-General.

" CALVIN SKINNER, M.D."

Dr. Skinner returned to Malonc in the latter part of June, 1862, sick with malarial fever, and before he had fairly recovered was commissioned, Aug. 11, 1862, sur- gcon of the 106th Regiment, then being recruited in St. Lawrence and Franklin Counties. He remained with this gallant regiment, following its varied fortunes, until Jan- uary, 1864. He then returned to Malone, and has since been actively engaged in the practice of physics and sur- gery, making the latter a specialty.

As an illustration of the confidence reposed in Dr. Skinner by the citizens of Malone, he received the appoint- ment of postmaster under President Lincoln, and held the office fourteen years, and during this long period discharged the duties of his office with eredit to himself and the entire satisfaction of his fellow-citizens. He was an original Re- publiean, and has ever remained steadfast to the principles of that party. In religious matters he is an Episcopalian, and an earnest and zealous churchman.

Dr. Skinner has ever manifested a decided interest in educational matters, and in faet every movement tending to advance the general welfare of the citizens of Malone and Franklin County has found in him an able and earnest advocate.

THE carliest agricultural exhibition within the present limits of the State of New York was a cattle-fair held at New Amsterdam, Oct. 15, 1641. The interest manifested by the people in that exhibition stimulated the formation of other societies, and the general benefit derived by the agriculturists from those occasional exhibitions soon became
