COMMUNICATION

7-&-NOTICE is hereby given, in pursuance of the statute in such case made and provid­ed, that the subscribers, inhabitants of the town of Schroon, Elizabethtown A Keene, in the county of Essex intend to apply to the Legislature of this state, at their next ses­sion for an act of incorporation as a banking company, under the name and style of the Great Northern Bank with a capital of Five Hundred Tons of IROX OBE, one hundred thousand dollars in seven per cent. Bloomers' notes, and Fire Dollars m sjiecie—with a power to establish branches in such places as a majority of the Stockholders shall elect The public are informed that the establish­ment of a few Banks is much required to fa­cilitate commercial enterprise in this part of the state; and the intended banks at Pittsburgh, in the north, and Sandy Hill in the south, render it necessary that a like institution should be established here, to pre­serve the present equilibrium of trade. As the public interests can never be endangered by an establishment possessing so solid a capital, opposition to the measure is not ex­pected, unless, indeed, our rivals at P i t t s ­burgh, from jealousy of our commercial im­portance, shall think proper to take that step. The subscribers assure tbe public that they have now in their private vaults the requi­site quantity of ore; and that Bloomers' Notes may be obtained with little sacrifice of either time or property. Some difficulty was indeed anticipated in procuring specie; but they are happy in being able to say that they liave/o«>i</ means of obtaining the promUr of it on loan.

Plattsburgh Town Board. The meeting of the Town Board June 8

was attended by Supervisor Wever anil Jus­tices McLean, Gilliland, McMasters and Fas-sett, and Town Clerk Hayes.

The tirst business brought to the attention of the Board was the proposition to h J U a town hall on Elizabeth Street. Plana TO the building were submitted by M. A. Diaz, and after considerable discussion it was decided to postpone action in the matter for the pres­ent, and decide what stvle and size of build-ius at a ioiut meeting with the Hoard of Trustees, to be neki some time in tae mm future.

The unsafe condition of the Lake Shore road was then considered, and after a care­ful study of the law in regard to such matters, ou motion of Justtce McLean the following resolution was adopted, Supervisor Wever being the only member of the Board voting against it:

The town board of the town of Platteburgh having been informed, and believing that that p o r t i o n o f t h e h i j f h w a v o r r o a d k n o w n a s t h e

Lake Silo-re or HI ml' Point road, between tbe l . r i d i f e o v e r t h e C h a t e a n g a y r a i l r o a d a n d t h e Blntl'Point Hotel property iknown as Hotel Champlain i, has become and is unsafe by reason of the ditches on either side of the same and other causes, hereby consent that the coimuisioner of highways advertise for the fillihir of the ditches on the sides of said piece of road, and the grading of the same, so that there shall be a gradual and even slope from the eastern edge of the traveled road as it now is, to. at or near the east line of said highway, und on the west side of said road a proper grade so as to make the west side of same safe. The bids for each side to be made separately. Said bid to be subject to the approval of said town board and said commissioner, reserving the right to reject any or all bids for said tilling and grading.

It was then moved that the Board proceed to the election of a member of the Board of Alms, to succeed William Reed, whose term has expired. An informal ballot resulted as follows: William Reed 1 E. T. Gilliland 1 W. L. Germain 1 J. IL Booth 1

A formal ballot was then taken with the following result: William Reed I). F. Dobie J. H. Booth, . . • . W. L. Germain, William Chappel,

There being no choice a third ballot was taken as follows: J. n . Booth William Reed, . . . . J. B. White, . . . . y\". L. Germain,

emd a srood dividend for the number of pa­trons and cows. This is the w o n d creamery starfe<l in the courty; the first one af Ness City five \earT as:", and has never shut down but twice, just a few days each time for re­pairs. This factory takes cream only from its palrons. Thonjrh the dividends have been small ill summer time, and not almve fair in winter. \cf it lias proved a great blessing. Mr. o . 11. Ijiraway. of Ness <"ity. conceded the plan of building a creamery, and carried it into execution, much to the satisfaction of farmers throughout the entire county, mho in some way managed to patronize it.

Mr. Laraway is a merchant of first class standing at our Co. neat, has been here since the Co. was first organized, when Ness City contained bnt few families: has seen the town rise to a ]»opulation of fifteen hundred: and noted its decadence to four hundred and for­ty-one according to the last assessor's report. O. H. Laraway came to this place from Iowa, bnt his native home is Albnrgh. V t In child­hood days his eyps rested ni>on the same sand-jrirt shores of Lake Champlain. as our own. and in snch we fail not in finding a kindred spirit.

The cyclones in the north-eastern part of the state"creates a fear that we vet may suffer {"it"1,'"'.',.. ,., ,. „ .. - „ „ , . . „ , , , , , , , through them, but so far there has been little | ^ t a n , • • w l , , l p o n t h o * a> f r o m ' > , , u , , a , 0

cause to fear in the line of cyclones, storms or floods.

This has been a fine spring for everything; no damaging frosts, and crops generally look well. Wheat and ry" well headed. To see the immense acreage one wonders where machinery and workmen are coming from to harvest the grain should it grow on to matur­ity.

The number of rains this year are six; a slight precipitation in January; April eleventh over three inches of rain fell, and four between that and May eighteenth, which makes about six inches of rain in all. The spring showers hare all been accompanied by thunder and lightning, in fact, we seldom have a good rain without i t As we have had the usual amount of showers the rainy aeaaow is consid­ered well over.

Last Sunday Memorial services were held at the Methodist church in Ness City, in hon­or of the country's dead, a very appropriate sermon being preached for tbe occasion. About twenty of the survivors of the war met and marched in a body to the church where tbey occupied seats that had been set apart for their use. The attendance upon this occasion was large. Today memorial exercises are being held in the City, after which the decoration services under the di­rection of Sherman Post, Grand Army of the Republic.

Before closing I wish to send thanks to the writer of "Flattsburgh as I Remember it in 1846 " May he live long, and write more for the grand old "REPUBLICAN."

On motion of Justice Gilliland the further consideration of the matter was then put over until the next meeting of the Board.

A ballot was then taken for the election of an < iverseer of the Poor to succeed R. Merri-hew. as follows:

R. Merrihew 1 O. W. Soper, 1 T. Fassett 1 M. Bourdon, . . . . . 1 W. II. Chappel 1

The clerk then read a petition from the Board of Alms, asking for the re-election of Mr. Merrihew, and one from M. Bourdon, asking for his appointment to the office in compliance with the law giving preference to veterans of the late war for all appointive state, county and town offices.

After the reading of these communications the Board adjourned subject to the call of the chairman.

afternoon last was a very interesting meel The first thing that came up waa the report of Trnstee "Ben" Turner who was appointed by President Guibord of the Village Board to investigate with Justice McLean of the Town Board, the advisability of constructing a joint building in election Dist No. 3, suitable for voting purpose! and the use of the hose Co. in said Dist. It did not occur to Ben that the report should be submitted to a joint meeting of the Town and Village Boards and go he proceeded in his usual gentlemanly style and with the use of his usual forcible

and chmical language to tell what "/" have done in substance as follows:

I have examined all the town and village buildings and I find that they are all old tum­ble down ramshackle concerns, a disgrace to the town and village, and a sample of the business methods of every one that ever had anything to do with town or village matters before "I" came on deck. And I have de­cided to locate a new building on Elizabeth and South Piatt 8L, where I made a stone road last year. And I have had plans made by Mr. Diaz which he will now submit, and which I want tbe town to build. It will be such a building as tbe town can sell if it wants to for store or living purposes (proba­bly having in mind the sale to his Pulp Co., of a $3000 hospital building and lot for $400.)
