| One of the first acts of our village fathers "was to provide for the building of a market-house and public scales. The market-house was erected at the cast side of the square or ' park' in front of the court-house. It was used for several years, tho stalls, four in number, being annually leased at auction. The seales stood about four rods south of tho market, and here all tho hay sold within one-half of a mile of the court-houso was by ordinance required to be weighed. These scales were an old-fashioned, clumsy affair, provided with beam and chain, pulleys and cog-wheels, usod for the purpose of raising the wagons off the ground. Between the market-house and the hay-scales a turnpike-road was constructod along the south side of the square, while all north of this read was a quagmire, in which innumerable bull-frogs, of monstrous growth, held nightly concerts for the amusoment of our forefathers."-PALMER.
į In 1859 the village charter was amended, and undor tho act an election was held May 31, samo year.

MERRITT SOWLES.
Merritt Sowles was born in Alburgh, Vt., Dec. 24, 1837. He was cdueated at the Swanton Academy, and received his commercial education in the store and banking-house of his father, where was laid the foundation of his subsequent successful business career.
In 1860 he removed to Plattsburgh, and became cashier of the Mercantile Bank, a position which he occupied until July 1, 1865, when he resigned and became associated with Mr. C. E. M. Edwards in the hardware business, having purchased the interest of the late C. D. Blake. This business has since been conducted under the firm- name of Sowles & Edwards. Mr. Sowles is also a partner in the firm of B. D. Clapp & Co., hardware dealers, at Keeseville, N. Y.
In 1872, Mr. Sowles purchased a controlling interest in the First National Bank of Plattsburgh, and was made a director. In January, 1874, he was chosen president of the institution, and is the present incumbent. The bank under its present management is in a highly prosperous condition, and is ranked among the leading banking insti- tutions in the State.
