seem that. the lauds on which the town !£

though fie"never 1 had the prjyilegei of
occupying them. 'The Generalwss for,

He was a nati 0 f Eastern Pennsylva
nia, living at least a part of his time in
Lancaster, where Water privileges were
of course highly appreciated. He was
not long |n learning the great advanta*
ges offered at the fails of Beaver, and thd
importance of securing a part of the
lands washed by ti,em. - He at once com
prehended the great commercial import
ance of tbe He saw the unex
celled advantages and power for the
purposes of manufacture, and realized
tbe prospective value of the lands bor
heriug on the riveff that here might be
made one of 'the greatest commercial
marts in the whole of the western coun
try. In this General Brodhead was
wiser than the generations who have fol
lowed him, as they have so far failed in
making what the valley is well fitted
for, a compact and prosperous little city.
TAKING POSSESSION.
The Genera] was. living in Lancaster,
Pa., in the year 1793, and when on the
12th day of March of that year the Penn
sylvania Legislature passed the law open
ing up to sale aod settlement the lands
owned by the State in tbe territory lying
north and west of the Ohio aod Alleghe
ny rivers, the General, immediately upon
its becoming a law, formally applied fox
a land warrant for four hundred acres,
specially embracing the “Black Walnut
Bottom,” the body of lands afterwards
laid out as the town plot. He had this
tract regularly entered, surveyed and
|paid for, but before any settlement or
improvement could be made upon It by
him, the destructive and fearful Indian
wars of the Northwest broke out and
prevented ail settlement The lands
thus lay idle until the close of t]he wax,
which was consummated in treaty
of Greetvllle, in the year 1795. Owing
to these wars and tbe advancing age of
the General, be never was able to settle
on the lands in person.
In the year 1802, he sold his posses
sions on the falls of Beaver to David
Hdopes, of Cheater county, Pennsylva
nia, for the use of the firm of Messrs.
Hoopee, Townsend & Go., who proposed
to make immediate use of the water priv
ileges purchased. In part payment of
this sale, the General received one hun
dred and ten dollars, which was all the
purchase money received by him daring
hie lifetime.
As a carious relic, Mr. J. Webster Wil
son, of New Brighton, showed your cor
respondent a journal entry of this money,
in winch it was stated that it was loaned
by his lather, Isaac Wilson, to David
Hoopee, When Hoopes, t Townsend &
Co., came to lake possession of their
land, they found some very serious ob
stacles in their way, in the persons of
certain squatters, who very strenuously
opposed the attempts of the owners to
get possession of the lands they had pur
chased. To obtain a footing on these
lands, they were obliged to again pur
chase pan of the lands from those who
had adopted the advanced ideas of “squat
ter sovereignty."
THE FIRST MILL;
Immediately on getting possession of
their lands, Messrs. Hoopes, Townsend
& Co., erected a saw mill, on the site of
the flouring mill now standing in Beaver
Falls as the Noble Mill. In a short time
this mill was burned and a new one im
mediately built in its place. Afterward
a flouring mill was added to the saw mill,
being the second null of that kind in the
▼alley. The company soon began ' the
building of a forge on the riveir a abort
distance above the fl During and saw mill,
but before the work was completed, the
whole of the property came into the
possession of Mr. Isaac Wilson, the
transfer being made in the year 1802, In
1806 the forge was completed by Me.
Wilson, and in the same year was first
put in operation. The first lorgemen
who operated in It were Charles Carter
and John Kichards.. then was commenc
ed the real prosperity of the “black wal
nat bottoms.” Mr, Wilson also -erected
a charcoal furnace, but before he got it
in operation the one-half interest of this
Immense property was sold to Messrs,
Baker & Gregg foi #16,000. the sale be
ing consummated on. September 18,
1808, and the, fins becoming Isaac Wilson
& Co. .
Before the dose of this year - the far
nace was pot in blast and was ran Ifor
several years, making pigs, stoves, hol
low ware. etc. In April, 1812,/ Messrs.
Baker <& Gregg purchased the. other hkjf
interest of the property for the Sam Of
$15,000. These improvements were the
\ first made for the porpose of rrtllhrfnc
ah1- A targe mfiMAntile store was opened
and quite an extensive business was done,
to the great beneß^ttf 1 111? "Whole qquc*
try. Employment was given io a large
number of people, making business gen
erally prosperous.
The town of Brigbtqn 'was laid out
some time daring the yearlBo6, under
circumstances of peculiar Interest, by
two brothers who were traveling with
the Burr expedition. As bar already
been mentioned, the lower Beaver Vai*
ley was the scene of a pars of tuc fitting
oat of this expedition. Two gentlemen
by the natneof Constable, formerly from:
Brighton, England! were sojourning in
Canada, their object" of visiting North
America being tbe sketch the scenery of
the new world and visit its more inter*
esting points. Hearing of the proposed
expedition of Barr, they at once deter
mined to join it. Their- object was to
make use, of the qonveyances 'Used, lb
travel through itbe Ohio -and Mississippi:
Valleys, which they very much desired
to see, so that they might examine tbe
country, make tbe sketches of it and take
notes of prominent .or interesting
points they might come across- in *be
course of their travels.
They came to Sharon and joined their,
fortunes with the parties there assembled,
and endeavored to content themselves
amid the wild, romantic scenes Which
surrounded them, until tbe expedition
should be ready to move.
While the parties were at Sharon, the
owners of the “Black “Walnut Bottom”
lands weredlscussing the founding of a
town, which after a while they determ
ined to do, and laid their plans for'the
work. The Constable brothere being
good surveyors, and ’having an abund
ance of leisure on their hands, gratuitous
ly offered their services to lay out tbe
proposed town, which were gratefully
accepted. They immediately went to
work, and in a very short period of time
had on paper one ofthe most beautiful
of towns, all ready for bhr^stentn^i 1 The
proprietors of the new town,- After "coun
seling overthe matter. In view bf the
valuable services rendered by tbe Com
stable brothers, resolved to give them tbe
privilege of naming the hew created
town. This they assumed to do, and gave
it the name of Brighton,. a. namesake of
their native city left far behind them In
their “merry England.” No doubt when
they named the child of the forest they
had in mind sweet memories of boyhood
scenes on the old playground and pleas
ant recollections of their far distant
home.
This good old name tbe town held un
til, in tbe pride of its heart And under
the impulses of its ambition, Jt cast from
it the name so full of precious memories
aud became the modern Beaver Fal Is.
Shortly after tbe year 1812, Mr. Fred
erick Rapp, of the Economy Society , had
endeavored to purchase the property as
improved, for the sum of #33,000, which
was very promptly rejected. After this
offer the property came into the posses
sion of Mr. Oliver Ormsby, of Alleghe
ny county, who kept the iron works
and other business interests under
the superintendence of Colonel John
Dickey, until about the year 1818.
Under the prostration of all business,
which prevailed over the country at the
close of the war of 1812 with Great Brit
tain, they ceased to do much business,
and and place went gradually
down.
It is said, that while these works were
in successful operation, that Brighton
had become the centre of a large trade
and that good markets were afforded for
all kinds of produce aud grain. Liberal
wages were paid to all who labored, aud
a great deal of money was put \n circu
lation among the people. Indeed, it
seemed as if the smiles of fortune were in
a peculiar manner resting upon this peo
ple until the hour of reaction came. Mr.
James Patterson, of Beaver Palls, relates
the amusing incident, that during the
time when ail these workM were in full
blast and were doing the greatest amount
of good to the greatest number of people,
a writ was sued out of court in Beaver to
have the dam that turned the vfcter into
the race, and gave the. power which pro-
pelled the works, torn down,' on the
ground of its being a public nuisance, be
cause, as waaalleged, it stopped the fiSh
from going up the creek r Ho# absurd
and ridiculous such a thing would be in
these days of business activity. There
were plenty of envious people then as
now, whose selfishness will. permit no
prosperity or advancement, either of in
dividual good, or for (he welfare of a com
munity or State. Beaver Valley is not
yet rid of them. Beaver.
Bomb time ago a Danbury man loaned
aa eye doctor one bdbdred doltare to
start ia business. The trade wasn’t very
good, and the eye doctor sank the money.
What do you suppose bis backer did?
Sued the doctor? ‘Not at aIL He just
got an umbrella with a hooked handle,
and carried it under his arm. Three

Silvester Hoggins and tronpehav never !
bin from home before, the cheeze fafctory
haz absorbed their time and’ genius till
now, and they expekt tew cunTbak eddi
kated and hify polished.
Thetwo dauters will hav a French and
Jarman nurse at once, and they are tew
be teached how tewdoand'say things ov
a forrin nator, if it hosts 0 thousand dol
lars tew do it-
Silvester Muggins eed this before he set
sail..
Mrs. Huggins iz a leetle too old and
tuff to shine up mutch, but they will drees
her and not let her talk mutch, so it iz
reported.
Old Muggins himself dont ezpekt to
polish, he iz too cheezy, he will pay the
and sample forrin curds.
Reuben Muggins will enter sum Jer
man ekool, and will be put thru for 3
years, to the tune ov*‘root hog or die,**
for Silvester, biz father sed so, jnst before
he sailed.
Silvester Muggins iz solemly determ
ined that hiz sprout Reuben shal kno
learnin, and be forever abuv the cheeze
business.
The 2 dauters will cum bak ip 3 years
from now, and hay thirteen no silk dreaws
each to sho, also a kammlll’a hare shawl
and fourteen boxes ov gluvs, and torit
sum Jeroxan and French at the table when
they want sum more hash, or want the
pertataze passed. '
Tbolap dorg, 1 ddnf kno what will be
kum ov him; it may not be the phashfon
over thare tew tote lap dorgs; if it ain't*
the dear will be dropt.
Silvester Muggins hazatuk tew cheeze
for 84 years kloss, and don't kno anyth Ing
about biz natiff land.
He han’t tell whltch way the Mississip
pi river rocs, nor don't kno wbilch State
the Falls ov Niagara are situated in.
Ifenny boddy over in old imperial
Rome should ask Silvester Maggidjif
Keokuk wuzlokated on the Tommgbee
river be would hav tew say yes, or admit
he had forgot.
He knoze a grate deal more, about the
uplands in Switzerland than he duz
about the rising ground in Nu Hamah ire
bekauze he and the whole family hav bin
wrapt in forrin gide books for the last six
months, nite and day.
If enny boddy over in Paris should pass
the Mugginses enny cheeze at the table
yu would hear them all say ‘‘horrid !” ex-
cept Silvester, and. he would ask the
lacky on the sli if it waz skim or new
milk.
The family kant bear tbesmel ov cheeze
now.
When the Muggins family cum bak
three years from now, they will pretty
mutch hav forgot their natiff tuug, all
except the old man and the old woman.
The whole family will torgit their na
bors, and won’t be able tew enjoy enny
thing nor talk eeny thing but Yewrupp.
Silvester and the old woman, will prob
ably go at cheeze agin, bnt the rest ov
the tronpe will be too polished, and
epilte, for the skim cheeze bizzoess.
Silvester is not a bad man at all, when
be is around the cheeze faktory, be baint
got mutch brancs it is trew, but the late
rize in cheeze dislokaled him and the
family ketcbed the sudden Yewrupp dis-
order and giv it tew him, and it baz made
the whole ov them ridikilus. *
The 2 dsnters when they cum bak, wiij
simply be silly.
Reubeh wont kno enny thing, hot this
wuz alwuss natral tew him.
The old woman will make hash ov
things artfully, she will tell her nabon all
about the leaning tower of Copenhagen,
and the Pantheon ov Parity and ibe
bridge ov sighs at Dublin, and every,
now and then will risk a french or
jerman phraze, which will he decidedly
cheezy.
The Muggins never ought tew hav
gbne abroad at all, they were industrious
here, and tharefbre komparatively res
pektabel, they are ritch and unkultivated
now, and are in Yewrupp.
They are being laffed at bi the reflibed,
and cheated by the niiskrapalijs. c
. >• ,
There are thousands or the Muggins
Amerikans now on the opposite side oV
the Allan tikoebno, and thousands more 1
will go, for it is generally jßnderstotjd s bl
