A GLANCE AT THE PAST.

A GLANCE AT THE PAST.
Not for many years, can Burling-
tonian's recall improvements equal to
those which have been successfully
carried out in our beautiful city dur.
ing the past twelve months. Aside
from the erection of q number of
neat aud attractive dwellings, now all
occupied, and more Of the same char
acler In demand, the large and sub
stantiaI buildings erected for manu-
featuring interests, and leased i'm
mediately upon completion, apparent
y verifes the axiom, ''there is a
turn In the tide, &C." and just such
"turn," so to speak, has unqusstiop-
ably developed 10 Burlington. Some
Of these improvements from their
prominent position, will prove cap
ital card for the city; what town the
size of our own, presents at it's en-
trance, more thriving and busy out
look, than Is seen from the railroad
cars skirting the eastern section of the
city and embracing Mr.. A. McNeaps
extensive foundry, Packers coal
depot, aad the industries on tho As
siscunk creek Only . few months
since, the ground now partly occupied
by Messrs. Smiths shoe factory, and
Mr.. Chss. P. Farmers foundry, was
bat bare aud unattractive common.
/ this unimproved condition it has
remained since 1748, when John
Tatham's 'spalace aud elegant and
numerous out-buildings" as the musty
records read, and which stood 10 close
proximity to the industri mentioned,
were burned to the ground. The
former quiet, aye, almost death-like
stll.uess which hung like pail over
that portion of the town and only
broken by the shrill scream Of the
"pon horse" has given place to
the eDi'vening aud busy hun of
factory industry With these enter
prIses come also an increase of pop
uiatiou, and every merchant and
mechanic is largely interested direct
ly or Indirectly 10 their welfare.
Then glance at Mr.. Birch's improve
meuts, which, though intended prin-
cipally fer bis own daily increasing
carriage business, must strike those
prospecting for industrial sites very
favorsbly as proving beyond cavil,
that Burlington offers exceptional
advantages and facilities for manu-
facturers in every line, or the pro-
prietors of those already established,
SO far as their trade is concerned,
wculd not invest their capital in more
extensive buildings if necessary

we're not wanting.

"The Two Orphans" was fairly pre-
sented and to good business at the
Opera House on Tuesday evening.
The company, however was rather
small to properly present the play,
several Of the faces being familiar in
second and even third characters.
The intelligent portion of the audience
seemed TO appreciate the performance
of the drama. "Louise" the blind
girl was piece of realism which does
credit to the actress 10 the part.
Those who acted the part Of little

ably in disgusting the audinnce. Some

ness Of things. They would laugh
