.€ HISTORY OP THE BEAVER VAIh Correspondence of -the Pittsburgh Gazette. Beater V alley, Dec., 1878. iTaperNo. 6.] BEAVER AS IT tS. Beaver now contains a population of About 1,200 souls, of as indusbious, moral and temperate people as can be found in Western Pennsylvania. The location cannot be surpassed, either in point of picturesque and charming scenery, or in its bealtbfulneas. It is lo cated on an elevated platean, abruptly rising from lbe Obio river and running to the foot; of the hills behind it—while by a gradual slope, it descends to the waters of the Beaver on the cast. The buff fronting the Ohio, places the town high above the water level and relieves it largely from the dense fogs common to river towns, and the miasmatic influences that might form from the ponds beneath its feet. Its elevation gives it a command ing position at the mouth of the Beaver Valley, enabling its denizens to overlook f> a certain extent in front, and to the left a vast expanse of country, covered by tbe beautiful towns which nestle at the base of the hills, or crown their summits, and are partially hidden amid tbe trees and shrubbery, so lavishly bestowed by tbe hand of Nature. The river view from Beaver is as beautiful a picture as man may wish to witness. Its varied land scape ; its gently sloping bills and the per fect combination of tbe picturesque and beautiful, presented, is a scene not soon to be forgotten. Tbe famed and weir her alded charms of the Hudson river scenery, as partially given in our Aldinc and Pic ture&que America , do not often surpass that afforded by au up river VIEW FROM BEAVER. It is really worth immortalizing on can vas and it seems to me that a few dollars spent by the “solid” men of Beaver in such an enterprize, would do more to give their home city a favorable place among the outside people, than any other possible enterprise. Beside the varied scenery of hill and vale, four charming towns are in the view from Beaver. Just across the Ohio, is seen the pretty little town of Phillipsburg, looking so like a fairy city as it is dwindled into compara tive smallness, by the hugh bills that form the background. It is elevated above the river, and forms of itself a de lightful view, as it seems to gradually fade away into, and become a part of the hills on either side. Away beyond up the river, partially hidden by the turn of the river, is Freedom, with its homes and pleasant slopes, supplemented by a busy industry at the boat yards. Below it, lies the thriving town of Rochester, its river bank covered with manufactories, marts of trade and all the implements and arts of a busy life, while gently sloping back from tbe river is the hill, on which is located some of the loveliest homes in tbe valley. Adorning the slopes are tbe churches with their spires pointing heav enward, and tbe ivy-grown buildings which tell us of the peace that reigns within its borders. Lying side by side with Beaver on the east, is the pleasant town of Bridgewater with its pleasant homes and surroundings. These, with the river 'lazily gliding by them, and in Us serpentine course washing the shores by each town, and wearing away the green banks by a ceaseless attrition—floating on its broad bosom the hundreds of boats carrying the wealth of commerce—togeth er with the grand old hills on either side, some rising to a height Where they frown ingly look down upon tbe busy people beneath, and others with just enough as x»nt to give theta the name and place of bills, may all be seen in one view from Beaver, forming a scene of transcendent loveliness that no pen as it presents itself to tbe mini of one who loves tbe beautiful in nature and art. Immediately fronting Beaver across the Ohio, are some very formidable looking hills, that hide'from view the fine country lying behind them. Forming the rear of the town is a suc cession of sloping binds, gradually rising to a respectable height and extending into the country beyond. From the river bank to the base of these bluffs, is probably about one-half or three-fourths of a mile, the intervening grounds being as level as a prairie. The flat extends probably about three miles down the Ohio, every foot of it being adapted for building purposes. reaver's thoroughfares. * The main street of the town runs par allel with, and, about forty rods back from the river. It is a beautiful street, and by a little work, some expenditure of time and money, and proper attention, can be made one of the most beautiful and attractive avenues in the valley. It runs the full length of the town, is of good width and presents a fine natural view. But the most handsome street in the town, is that fronting on the bank of the river. It is wide, extending to the edge of the bluff, and is ornamented with graceful parks of well shaped trees, form* log a delightful retreat'from the beat and dust of the more busy part of town. It is used, especially by the younger people, •as a sort of summer resort, where “sweet communion” may be held, and sweeter stories told, beneath the trees in the cooling shade. Ah, if those trees could only talk, what plots and schemes would be revealed—-what populous cities of air castle would be disclosed to view, that had been formed and brought to life in the day dreams of tin lads and lasses o' staid old Beaver town. At the upper end LEY. of town there is a fine grove of trees, making a rural scene of surpassing in terest. ;On the main street is a well lo cated public ground or Diamond, com prising about ten acres of ground. This is divided into four equal parts, set apart for tbe public buildings of the town. Upon eoe of these squares is located tbe Court House buildings. The Court House proper, is about eighty by sixty feet, built of brick and a very respectable structure. It does not present quite as imposing an architectural appearance as Beaver rightfully deserves, but taken all in all, itwill compare favorably with our sister county seats, and is very well calculated to meet all the requirements of justice. TOE FAIR GROUNDS. In the eastern part of the town fronting a bluff ascending from Bridgewater, are located the grounds set apart for fair pur poses Tbe grounds have an excellent situation, and so far as the natural is con cerned, nothing better could be wished. But not so much can be said of the works of art, after making all liberal allowances. The grounds are well laid out, but as a general statement, tbe buildings do not correspond. They have about served their day. If no funds are available for tbe erection of new ones, certainly some of tbe old ones might be treated to i coat of paint, and others removed from tbe grounds. Beaver is not up to tbe re quirements of tbe age in this regard and should wake up, make it a place of beau ty and attractiveness, gentlemen mana gers. BUSINESS OF BEAVER. In a business point of view, Beaver is, of course, behind tbe other towns of our valley. It has no facilities for mannfac taring, and is consequently so much de prived of a means of greater prosperity. Tnere are 18 stores of various kinds; 2 drug stores; 3 confectioneries; and the usual amount of small business done. So far as the busy bum of industry goes, Beaver is rather quiet and to a great many people, who are accustomed to tbe noise and machinery and tbe ceaseless clatter of hammers, it is a dull place Tbe learned professions, are, however, well represented, and perhaps, may atone for the lack of muscular activity. There are 5 physicians, being 1 for each 240 people ; no more needed. For tbe administration of justice, we have 12 lawyers, ready at all times for clients; of ministers, she can boast tbe goodly number of 15, some, however on tbe retired list. It is for this circumstance, probably, tbat tbe town is sometimes dubbed “Saints’ Rest,” Ijy cer tain ones who are of an irreverent thru of "mind. Be tbat true or not, tbe town would deserve the name for the reason that it is deeply rooted and grounded in morality. Not a grog shop does or could exist id its midst, because qf the strong total abstinence sentiment of tbe people. Id addition to this, it is a MODEL OF MORALITY in every way, and when you add to this its beauty and wealth of intellectual abil ity and activity, what name is too ex pressive of its fitness for the houses of men and women of the purest character. It Has three churches, the United Pres byterian, Old School Presbyterian and Methodist Episcopal. The ministers in charge of them are gentlemen of fine cul ture, and strongly marked religions hab its and thought. Of course they are pros perous, and their evidence of it is in large membership and the general morality of the town. The general character of the residences of the town is not of a peculiarly high one. It is true that there are some fine dwellings in the town. Without intend ing to underrate any others, I must notice those of Col. Quay and J. Weyaud, Esq. The residence of the first is undoubtedly the finest building in Beaver county in every respect. It is a beautiful architec tural work, symmetrical in every part, and at the same time a commodious, com fortable house. It is an excellent model of modern architecture for others, and Beaver ought to imitate it on every large lot. Mr. Weyand’s house does not pre sent so fine an appearance, but yet is a fine looking house, and is a commendable addition to the real attractions of the town. There are others, but space and time forbid their mention. There are a great many neat structures, cosy and comfortable. Occasionally we notice one that seemingly is of modern origin, with its bright appearance and clean front, yet lacking modern conveniences. Some times they look as if they were cramped in their light dress, and an inspection shows us an old weather-beaten fellow, of three score and nearly ten, built of logs and now covered with boards. Cover that old house as you may, paint it and fresco it from top to base, and you cannot hide the good old cheering warmth of the pioneer's house. It is a good deal like brother Jonathan dressed up in court style, or certain Beaver lads who might be mentioned, who try to cover and hide nature with a "tile’* and dapper cane. A true artist loves tumble down buildings and old time structure better than the new, and takes pleasure in blending the new and the old. So it may be, that it is better that the town should have these contrasts in dwellings—a sort of light and shade—forming a variety that would be entirely destroyed, by the harmony and probable monotony of modern styles. But let the result be what it may, we hope to see Beaver, especially Main street, lined with structures that will ornament her natural beauty and be of utility in business uses. THE RADICAL: FRIDAY* FEB# We bare three newspapers In the town. The Radical is the representative of the Republican principles and is /Always po litically right, and consequently enjoys a large patronage. The Argu», represented the late Liberal movement, and Is now independent in politics, bat in the course of time will naturally come back Into the fold, and ardently snpport President Grant. The Contem rtwe was the organ of the “straightont” Democrats In the late campaign. Each of the papers seems prosperous, which we hope may continue from year to year. Beaver is more widely known on ac count of its schools, than any other Inter est centered there. The town boasts an excellent public school building built of brick and about eighty feet square. It is a credit to the good people who have put it up. There is also located, three insti tutions of learning of a higher grade, two of which are not at present in operation. They have each done a good service and ought now to be io running order. Last and largest and greatest on the list, how ever, is the “Beaver College and Musical Institute,” and which is after all the most successful institute in the town. ' Rev. R. T. Taylor, D. D., is now and has been for some years, President of the College. It is hardly necessary for your correspondent to mention the name of this gentleman, who is already known and honored wherever the College is known. Prof. Taylor teaches became helotes it, and hence bis wonderful success. The great success of this institute is no doubt in a large part attributable to the unremitting efforts of Prof. Taylor and lady, and their constant devotion to duty and the inter ests of their pupils. Rev. M. Simpson, one of the Bishops of the M. £. Church and Rev. Dr. D. L. Dempsey, of Beaver, were among the first to call attention to the desirableness of Beaver as the location for an educational institution of a high grade. Among its early founders were such men as Hoo. Daniel Agnew, one of the Supreme Judges of Pennsylvania, Rev. W. G. Taylor, of Pbillipsburg Sol diers’ Orphan School, Rev. J. Monroe and the Hon. Benj. Adums, of Beaver. In 1833 a charter was obtained for the school, under the name of Beaver Female Semi nary, which title was changed in 1860 to Beaver Seminary and Institute, since which a department has been added for the education of young men. Rev. Sheri dan Baker was the first Principal, follow ed at the expiration of three sessions by Samuel Davenport, A. M., who, after a like period was succeeded by the present principal, Rev. R. T. Taylor, D. D., a graduate of one of our New England Colleges, and a member of the Pittsburgh Conference of the M. E. Church. It is in every way, a school that can be recom mended to all who wish a thorough edu cation under competent teachers. The probable FUTURE OF BEATER is a subject that ought to engage the at tention of its citizens. In the town there are over 800 acres of land, exclusive of streets and alleys, every foot of which can be used for building purposes. Mak ing liberal allowance for public buildings, parks, promenades, etc., there is capacity enough for a population of over 20,000 people. The approaches to it are good railroads extending in every direction— easily reached by steamers, and but one hour's ride from Pittsburgh. As Beaver Valley is destined to be eventually a great manufacturing centre, why may not Bea ver become the home of the capitalist, the artisan and the gentleman of means who desires to educate children ? Beaver ought to wake up. Ornament your town. Line those broad and beautiful streets with shade trees, and make it a place of beauty and thrift. Remove your dilapi dated shanties, repair wherever repairing is needed. You men of capital, put Bea ver College on a firm and sound financial basis, with endowments that shall make its term easy, and give the teachers a good living salary, and then put your solid shoulders under the Academy and Female Seminary, and give them new life. If Beaver does her duty, the day is not far distant when she can boast of being at the month of a valley famed all over this land. Beaver. A Des Moines, lowa, reporter, can write up a trifling incident of western life in as good a style as those New York fellows. Hear him: "In Buffalo, Scott county, at a New Year’s party where they had been takin’ sntbin,* a man as serted that he could whip anybody in the room. When be found himself lying on his back, and saw bis antagonist compla cently chewing the end of the nose he had colored with so much care and ex pense, be began to suspect be bad slightly overrated his powers.” The celebrated Henderson, the actor, was seldom known to be in a passion. When at Oxford he was one day debating with a fellow stndent, who, not keeping bis temper, threw a glass of wine in his face. Hr. Henderson took out his hand kerchief, wiped his fape, and coolly said, ‘That, sir, was a digression ; now for the argument.’ The Christian Advocate says: “Com mend os to that Baptist brother who, on going into the water to be baptised, re plied to the suggestion that he had better take his pocket-book out of bis pocket daring the ordinance, ‘No, I want my pocket-book baptised with me.’ ” ffOUBWAUSTIC;.
