that have taken place recently, mono are more
noticeable than the present condition OF the mar
kot. Our Conscript Fathers are effecting a
thorough change. The Market Hall Is being re-
fitted, and will be used in future by the different
fire companies. In the market proper, the white
wash brush has impaired pleasing appearance
OF purity and clranliness The gas fixtures will
soon be replaced-the former ones having been
stolen by soldiers. The sheds are being covered
with patent fire-proof paint. All damages by

seem determined to have clean market. The
present officers are: Chief Clerk, VIM. KIRKwoop,
Esq.; First Assistant and Clerk OF Weights and
Measures, Mr. JACOB F. Sou1RnIIR Second Assis-
tsnt, Mr. VIM. W11HERs. These last named gentle

doris is collected. The Office Of Public Weigher is
filled by Mr. JOHN P. GAILLARD. The scale house
and platform has recently been put in thorough
order. Mr.. GA1LLARD, the present incumbent, by
his promptness and efficiency, has made many

Esq., is Chairman. We understand that it 10 the in
tention of the Commissioners to have the market

prominent places along the whole route, 30 that

occurred are traced as much to ignorance as any
other cause, and it is hoped will be obviated by
this measure.
