Or. Cobb's Eulogy Puts n. j. Irwin In
RemlniacAnt M00d

Or. Cobb's EulOgy Puts n. J. Irwin In
Reminiscent Mood
The publication of Dr. Cobb's "Eulogy
Of Burlington" awakens in the mind Of
Richard J. Irwin. the veteran express
messenger. a pretty accurate picture OF
what Burlington was three-Quarters OF
century ago. Mr.. Irwin came to this
city when a small child In 1874 and can
remember all of the old places mentioned
In the verses.
At that time the postoffice was located
on Main street. half way between the
American House and Church street. in an
old white building. 1t was afterwards
moved to the corner Of College and st.
Paul streets. where the Burlington Steam
Laundry now stands.
In those days there were many tav-
ems. 1t was before the advent OF the
railroads in this section and business was
good. Large teams, patterned after the
prairie schooners and drawn by four and
six horses. made trips from points a.
far as st. Johnsbury to Burlington, laden
with big loads Of pelts. wheat, and other
farm products. and these were exchanged
here for cargoes of teas, spices. rum and
other merchandise which were unloaded
at the local wharves from the boats
which brought in all of the goods from
the outside world. 1t was not an unusual
sight to see Is or % Of these wagons
parked around one Of the taverns.
| This was before the advent OF prohibi-
ton and the bars were the meeting
places for most of the men Of the town.
as we'll as the travellers. The Pearl
Street House stood at the southwest
corner of Prospect and Pearl streets, and
here the stage coaches from the north
and east were accustomed to stop. The
coaches from the south stopped at the
American and other hotels situated IN
the more southern part of the town.
The Howard House. owned by the
father of John p. Howard. was one OF
the larger taverns Of the place and that
stood on College street where Turks
store is now. 1t occupied large build
ing. which was afterwards destroyed by
fire. Another large hotel. besides the
American and Howard. was the Elk
change. afterwards known as the Lake
House. This stood south of King street
on the west side of Battery street. II
was the scone of much gaiety In the wa,
OF social functions. This also was after
wards destroyed by fire.
On the southeast corner Of Battery anc
South streets. now Maple street. stood
the Irish Tavern, operated by John Sor
rigan. This was about the time Of thu
famine In Ireland and this tavern made
a speciality OF taking care of the Irish
who were then coming to this countr!
In large numbers. On large woodel

THE GREATER OF TWO DANGERS

THE GAEATIch OF TWO DANGERS
The series of war conferences in DIFF
ferent States Of which that at Montpelier
portant link. is evidently based upon two
fundamental ideas. One Of these is that
the people of the United States are in
danger of failing to do their part in the
var. The other idea is that we and the
allies and the world are in greater dan
ger from German peace at this time
than from a German war.
These dangers were manifestly what
the various speakers chiefly sought to
emphasize. and against which they aimed
to help guard US. The two great enthusi-
lstic audiences in Montpelier's fine city
hall In the afternoon and evening. were
moved. as we have seldom seen men and
women moved. II the war conferences
