Correspondence of th<B
’ '■ * Beaver VaLl|S Dec., 1872.
[Paper 4.]
My last letter carried the history af
Beaver Valley to the year 178$. As yet,
bo material progress had been made In
the valley, though the attention of bnel
ness men la different parts of the country
bad been called to it, and many who de
aired to make investments and possess
some of the finest land in the State, were
being-directed toward it. Some patents
had been granted for a portion of the
lands, but none was yet occupied.
The Indian yet ranged the valley and
built his fires on its plains, jealously
watching the unwelcome though sure ap
proach of the whites. War parties of In
dians were continually passing over the
Talley and skulking in the dense forests
that covered theentire country. About the,
year 1790, another terrible border war was
inaugurated, devastating.the country, and
preventing the settlement of the lands.
It seemed as if the very demon of war was
bent on the entire destruction of the
country. The hilt sides again rang with
the terrible yell of the Indian, and was
answered by the triumphant shout of
the soldiery, when they put to rout the
savages.
MORE ABOUT BRADY.
Of the whiles, none was more feared or
hated by the Indians than Brady. To
them.his approach was as alarming as a
pestilence, and with a good reason, too.
Many a conflict has our valley witnessed
between this bold pioneer and soldier, and
the Indians who were fearless enough to
stand before him.
Another adventure of peculiar interest
occurred in Beaver Valley, of which Bra
dy was the hero. It occurred somewhere
in the neighborhood of the lower part of
Fallston, and the adventure gave name
to a run which, flows between the towns
of Fallston an 4 Bridgewater. This little
nm comes down a.wild glen on the west
of the river, and is to Ibis day a wild
looking spot. In 1790, General Washing
ton wrote to General Brodbead, to select
a suitable officer and dispatch him to San
dusky, "tor the purpose of examining the
place and ascertaining the force of the
British and Indians assembled there.
General Brodbead had no hesitation In
making the selection. He sent for Cap
tain Brady, showed him Washington’s
letter, and a draft or map of the country
he must traverse ; very defective, as Bra
dy afterwards discovered, but the best, no
doubt, that could be obtained at that
time. The appointment was accepted,
and selecting a few soldiers, and four
Chickasaw Indians as guides, he crossed
the Allegheny river and was at once in
the enemy’s country. Brady was versed
in all the wilds of Indian “strategic,” and,
dressed in the fall war dress of an Indian
miimr, sad wen acquainted with their
language, he led bis band in safety near
to the Sandusky towns without seeing a
hostile Indian. But his Chickasaws now
deserted. This was alarming, for it was
probable they had gone over to the ene
my. However, he determined to ! pro
ceed. With a fnll knowledge of the hor
rible death that awaited him if taken
.prisoner, he passed on, until he stood be
tide the town on the bank of the river.
His first care was to provide a secure place
of concealment for his men. When this
was effected, having selected one man as
the companion of his future adventures,
he waded the river to an island partially
covered with driftwood, opposite the
town, where he f concealed himself and
comrade for the night. The next morn
ing a dense fog spread over the hill and
d|}e, town and river, all was hid from
Brady’s eyes, save the. logs and brush
around him. About eleven o’clock it
cleared off, and afforded him a view of
about three thousand Indians engaged in
the amusement of the race ground. They
had just returned from Virginia or Ken.
tucky, with some very fine horses. One
gray horse in particular attracted his no
tice. He won every race until near the
evening, when, as if envious of his speed,
two riders were placed on him and thus
be was beaten. The starting post was
only a few rods above where Brady lay,
and be bad a pretty fair chance of enjoy
ing the amusements, without the risk
of losing anything by betting on the
race.
HOW. BRADY RESCUED A CHILD.
He made such observations through the
4 day as was in his power, waded oat from
I the island at night, collected his men.
went to the Indian camp he had seen as
| he came out; the squaws were still there;
i took them prisoners, and continued bis
march homeward. The map furnished by
General Brodhead was found to be defec
tive. The distance was represented to be
much less than it really was. The provi
sions and ammunition of the men were
exhausted by the time they had reached
the Big Beaver, on their return. Brady
shot an otter, but could not eat it. The
last load was in his rifle. They arrived at
an old encampment, and found plenty of
strawberries which they stopped to ap*
■ pease their hunger, with. Having dis
covered a deer track, Brady followed it,
telling the men he would perhaps get a!
shot at it. He had gone but a tew rods
when he saw the deer standing broadside;
to him. He raised his rifle and attempted
to fire, but it flashed in the pan ; and he
bad not a priming of powder." He sat
down, picked the touch-hole, and then
started on. After going a short distance
the path made a bend, and he saw before
him a large Indian on horseback, with a
white child before and its mother behinc
LKY.
him on the horse, and a *df war?
tiers marching in the rear.
Bis first impulsefwaa to shoot the In
dian on bQrsetxtekii but as he raised the
rifle he observed the child’s head to roll
with the motion of the horse. It was fast
asleep and tied to the Indian. He stepped
behind the root of a tree and waited until
he could shoot the Indian wlthodt danger
of the child or its mother. When he con
sidered the chance certain, he shot the
Indian, who fell from his horse, and the
child and its mother fell with him.
Brady called to his men with a voice
that made the forest ring, to snrronnd the
Indians andgive then a general fire. He
sprung to the fallen Indian’s powder horn,
but could not get it off Being dressed
like an Indian the woman thought he was
one, and said, “Why did yon shoot your
brother?” He caught op the child, saying,
“Jenny Stupes, lam Captain Brady, fol
low me and I will save you and your
child.’* He caught her hand in his, carry
ing the child" under the other arm, and
dashed into the brush.
Many guns were fired at him by this
time, but no ball harmed him, and the
Indians dreading an ambuscade, were
glad to make off. The next day he ar
rived at Fort Mclntosh with the woman
and her child. - His men had got there be
fore him. They had heard his war-whoop,
and knew it was Indians they encounter
ed, but having.no ammunition, they had
taken to their heels and ran off The
squaws he had taken at Sandusky, avail
ing themselves of the panic, had also made
their escape. Tradition furnishes us with
two other of his exploits, this time occur
ring farther up the Beaver river, on the
hills, sometimes called by way of distinc
tion, the “Alum Bocks.” The story runs,
that the Captain with a band of followers,
was out on one of his famous scouting ex
ploits, when they struck a trail, probably
not far from Fort Mclntosh, and soon
came upon a large body of Indians oh the
war path. Brady would gladly have
avoided a fight this time, as the odds were
largely against him, but a fight seemed
unavoidable. The Indians discovered the
whites, sounded their terrific war-whoop,
and a fearful fight was at once begun,
which was kept up with considerable
spirit for some length of time.
A RACE FOB LIFE.
Tbe captain soon found that it was the
sheerest folly sav
ages, thUi “desirable'
Thaj>» of, independence, the re
gion ot which a too inti
s relation with the Comihission
the ieehis to have heretofore made
imi isslble. True, the Argus felt a
anti uncertainty in regard to the
tO rforevrour auwuif' >. y was gOOD
recognized, and every effort was made to
capture him. Each Indian bent himself
to the work at taking Brady’s scalp, and
mc osraucc ui me party were entirely
overlooked and permitted to make good
their escape, in the eager pursuit of Bra
dy. Every nerve was stretched to its ut
most to win the chase. Beaver valley has
never seen, nor probably ever will see, so
hotly contested race as upon this occasion
The taken lay directly toward a
steep and fearful precipice, but the dan
ger was hidden by the bushes and trees
from the sight of the contestants. Brady
came on a full run to the tup of the ledge
of rocks, and at once saw the Tearfulness
of his position and his danger, and also
the difficulties in the way of avoiding it
and saving himself. In either event, to
leap over the precipice, or be taken pris
oner seemed an inevitable, horrible death.
In the first place, it would necessarily, he
thought, be sudden, while on the other
hand, the prospect was a death not only
horrible, but protrapted by the ingenuity
of torture. He quickly decided to trust
his fate to the rocks and cliffs beneath
him, and immediately leaped from the
edge of the rock. The Indians came to
the brink of the precipice, and compre
hending the act of Brady, stepped back
in horror, at the daring of a man who
could perform such an act, even to save
himself from captiyity. They of course
supposed him dashed to pieces on the
rocks below ; but fortunately for Brady,
he fell but a few feet when he partly
lodged in the branches of a small tree,
which broke his fall, and let him to the
ground without injury.
He carefully made bis way down the
side of the hill to Beaver river, and forded
the river in full view ofhis pursuers, who
nqw for the firat time saw him after his
leap. They began firing at him, but their
ammunition was badly spent, and Brady,
without further trouble, reached the
Block House, and was secure from the
danger to which he had been so fearfully
exposed.
A PEABFUL LEAP. )
I ■
The other adventure on the "Alum
Rocks,’! was of a more agreeable^ character
to Bfady. This time he was the leader of
the pursuing party, and, single handed,
drove a warrior over the precipice and
forced him to leap. After leaping, Brady
shot him: and badly wounded him, his
trail being tracked with blood,, and his
body found dead in a grove where Beaver
Palls now stands.
But enough of this. At the close of the
Indian War Jn 1795, the whole region
north and west of the Ohio and Allegheny
rivers was mainly a wilderness, there be
ing only here and there a but in the midst
of the wilds, and occasionally a sparsely
settled community. Of these, Beaver
Valley contained not one, but was as
wild and savage as the most primitive
forests.

‘ Her liMl Apytauniiiee.
The Maid of Aridit y »i' last opera
in which this "wbhderful creature” whs
to delight the English musical public.
On the 10th of September she went down
with her husband, De Beriot, to take part
fn the Manichester Musical Festival; but
it was remarked by all her friends that
she was by no means in her Usual spirits,
and that her efforts were made rather un
der compulsion than by that impulse
which was so constantly apparent in
everything she undertook. On the morn*
log of the 14th (Wednesday) she took
part in a miscellaneous sacred perform
ance, and sang, with Clara Novello, in
the third part, Marcello’s duet, “Qual
Anelante,” with so much lively gayety,
fulness of execution, and a singleness of
purpose, and so delighted the audience
that, at the request of several distinguish
ed individuals, it was, not immediately,
but after one or two portions of Handel’s
“Israel in Egypt” had been given, re
peated; and so great was the excitement
which this repetition induced. that. at its
conclusion, a few persons were so excited
that they could not resist the impulse,
testifying their delight by clapping their
hands. Of the “Israel,”, Malibran gave
the succeeding solo, “Sing ye to the Loi*3,”
with such pathos and finished declama
tion as’*‘to leave nothing to be wished for
but the longer continuation of the strain.”
The concert of the same evening was a
most brilliant affair. The theatre where
it was given was crammed in the several
departments of boxes, pit, and gallery, to
suffocation. Hundreds of individuals
would have been glad, to have ‘ obtained
standing room; but every situation from
which a view could be obtained or a sound
beard was filled up.
From some impulse or other— for
which, she told me, she never could and
I never would be able to account—Madame
[Caradori-Allen was seized with a desire to
® ex *|°y er whether she could equal her
botHpetitbr in the final cadenza of Met*
for ante’s duet upon its repetition. Ac*
as nplished musician as she was, she was
g De po loss for invention, and outdid her-
Malibran, while she was singing,
- Iked at herwlth astonishment; but there

haste; bat, at the time she was to have
reappeared to take her part in the second
act, In the quintet from Mozart’s “Cosi
fan tutte,” an apology was made for her
on the ground that the indisposition un
der, which she bad for some time past, and
especially on the previous morning, been
suffering, but from which it was hoped
she was fast recovering, bad returned
with such violence that copious bleed
ing from the arm had been deemed advis
able, and the utmost quietness ordered.
Although, however, under such circum
stances, it was impossible to appear again
that evening, a hope was expressed
that she would on the morrow be suffi
ciently convalescent to take part in the
business allotted to her ih the “scheme.”
Under the care of the medical men who
had been summoned to her Malibran
seemed for a short time likely to rally ;
but the copious bleeding had done its
worst under the condition in which she
was found to be, which these medical men
seemed to be unaware of. De Beriot, be
ing dissatisfied with their treatment, sent
to London for bis own physician, a homos-
I opathist, Dr. Bellomini, which so offend
ed the regular practioners that they im
mediately refused to meet him, and
retired from the case. Her complaint
was inflammation arising from prema
ture confinement. Up to the time <of
Dr. Bellomlni’s arrival she had gradually
continued to decline ; she, however, ral
lied under his treatment unfit September
22, but, in the coarse of that day, a re
lapse took place, which so greatly alarm
ed him thathe was Induced to call in the
aid of Mr. Lew is, a surgeon. On the fol
lowing morning she had become much
worse, and lay in the state of the greatest
exhaustion, apparently unconscious of
everything around her, an'd but little
hopes were entertained of her recovery.
Every effort that skill could deviSe to re
store her was resorted to ; but the melan
choly event took place precisely at twen
ty minutes to twelve o’clock, up to which
period she had continued to jink without
regaining herfaculties for a moment.—
