Mayor Harrington then delivered the following: address which gives a prophetic picture of the activities, hopes, condition of the people and plans for Buffalo's future growth. He said: "Gentlemen of the Common Council: "In tho year 1830, the village of Buffalo contained something less than C.0Q0 persons. Four steamboats and i tout 20 other vessels were then adequate to the whole commerce of Lake Krie.

and the canal tolls reerived at Duffalo were less than $50,000. -In 1840 the city of Buffalo numbered a population of more than IS, 000 the canal tolls at Buffalo and Black Rock "spxeeedint; the sum of $470,000. and Erie numbered nearly f0 steamboats, and a fleet of more than 30,000 tons unfolded their wings to the commerce of these western lakes. "If, gentlemen, I was making these, statements to an audience of strangers, should feel in great hazard of meeting their incredulity. But to men who have been everyday witnesses of our rapid improvement, I shall require no apology for asserting that within the last 10 years the city of Buffalo has trebled her population and more than tenfold Increased the extent and importance of her business.

"Sometimes a community may arise suddenly from unsound and fictitious causes, or the power of a whole nation re exerted to improve a single point-But no such potent influence has fallen to our for the last five year we In Taking Office Numerous Improvements AYere Talked of But Rattier Than Embarrass Citizens and Taxpayers, New Executive Retained From Moving Propositions Which Would Necessitate Rig Expenditures Pointed Out Necessity of Strong and Effective Police System.

The Buffalo Courier gave Harrington a editorial notice opon his death. It says, in part: "His administration was marked by firmness and consistency. Although a Whig of the Btraightest sect, yet he was ever a courteous and dignified opponent, "In private life Mr, Harrington was kind and indulgent father a charitable man and firm friend, and his loss will be felt by a 'arge circle of acquaintances. "While occupying1 his office as postmaster he has conducted his duties with promptness and satisfaction to the public, though the ravages of the disease which finally terminated his life, prevented him at times from giving his personal attention to the onerous duties of the situation. His manners were courteous and obliging, and he never forgot the character of a gentleman, which in life he had ever borne "He leaves a large family, attached to him by the strongest ties of affection." Such eulogies as the above to a man who had lived before the public shows that Mayor I.

R. Harrington must have been not only a builder of Buffalo, but one of its best citisens, whose life it is worth while to review for 1919 readers. Of Mayor Harrington Mr. Thomas Farnum wrote: "He was a stirring business man, and built the block of dwellings on the South Side of Court Street from the alley to Pearl Street towards Eagle Street in the rear of the old American Hotel. He was a popular proprietor of the famous Eagle Tavern, succeeding Benjamin Rathbun, regarded as one of the best hotels in Western New York.

As host of this hostelry, Hon. I. Harrington was known far and wide, and lived to see Buffalo grow as he predicted it would." Mrs. Amanda Harrington, relict of the late Hon. Isaac R.

Harrington, and mother of Edmund R. Harrington and Mrs. Juliet E. Pease, died on January 1, 1874, aged 83 years. As was said of this well beloved woman: "The death of Mrs.

Amanda Harrington at an advanced age will attract the attention of the older residents of this city, and remind old friends, of the many virtues of this estimable lady. vMrs. Harrington was the widow of the late Hon. I. R.

The third son was Donald TJ. Harrington, who died in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, on November 7, 1851, aged 31 years and was buried in Buffalo. The death of Miss Marion Harrington, second daughter of Capt. I.

R. Harrington, which occurred in Detroit on the 6th of November, 1842, was commented on in the Commercial as follows: "She wa aged about 20 years. To her numerous friends, this will be a mournful announcement. To those who knew the deceased, her many accomplishments and her patience under great afflictions, now that she is removed from their sight until the day when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God and live again. Cut off in the mysterious but wise providence of God in the morning of her life, her afflicted family have no other consolation than the remembrance of her many virtues, the blessed hope that she haa passed from death unto life through faith in the Redeemer, and the promise that th afflictions of this state of trial, though for the present grievous, shall afterwards yield, the peacable fruit of righteousness to them who are exercised thereby.

Mayor whose name appears first in the 1832 city directory, purchased the tract of land bounded on the north by Court street, on the west by Pearl street.

At this time he was proprietor of the Eagle Tavern which stood on Main street southwest corner of Court street, its roomy post yard extending towards Pearl street. The Harrington blocks on Court and Pearl streets, contained the type of city residences copied from New York blocks, built of the best material, and had they remained in the Harrington family today would be worth a king's ransom; As it is the transfers of deeds are voluminous.
