SECOND EDITION
John Brinten, of Jerusalem.
WHAT INDUCED HIM TO MIGRATE TO THE
CHEF CITY OF THE HOLY LAND.

WHAT INDUCED HIM TO MIGRATE TO THE
CHIEF CITY OF THE HOLY LAND.
A few days ago, the following item,
whichhas probably y"travelled the rounds"
of the newspapers, appeared among some
miscellaneous paragraphs,in the columns
ofthe GAZETTE:
some John Brinton, living somewhere
in Iowa, had fancy some years ago that
Jerusalem would be good point for the
wife called him fool, ami refused to go
with him. He divided his little property
with her and went alone. He has been
successful, and she has now Joined him.
, Foreign visitors are numerous, especially
! Americans and EHglishmen, and Johns
saloon is appreciated.
! When the above item was slipped out
OF some exchange and inserted in the
GAZETTE it was notsupposed for an in
! staDt that it possessed the slightest local
interest. But it now appears that this
John Brinton, of Jerusalem, though
never resident of this city, has relatives
! here, whom he visited just before start
ing for the Holy Land.
John Brinton was born at Dilworth-
:. town, Chester county, Pa, and in early
life removed with his father to Ohio
Later John pitched his tent upon the
ptairles of Iowa and by diligence and in
ocihSohe idooi oooh uoedhiO ouooosscAui
farmer. 30
Though of decided Quaker stock John
several years ago, became imbued with
the Jewish MOTTO that it was very desir'
able to live in Jerusalem, so as to be or
hand at tha second coming of the Lord
Jesus Christ, whose first appearance
would in all probability be at the place Of
His interment. This idea grew and
dwelt upon John Brinton's mind until il
became an actual mania, and finally he
determined to remove to j Jerusalem so as
I'd be on hand when the great day arrived
His family positively refused to accompa
ny him, but John did the square thing by
eduitably dividing his effects, giving his
wife 81 900, keeping like amount him
self, and dividing the farm among his five
sens, which left them about 80 acres
apiece. .
| This was about three years ago, anG
John started on his pilgrimage to Jerusa
lem, stopping on the way in this city, tt
visit his cousins Messrs. Amos. G. Brin
ton, and g. Hill Brnton.
| Though Johns mind was somewha
affected on the Jerusalem idea, it was
perfectly sound in all other respects, anC
his business perceptions were as keen a!
ever. After arriving in Jerusalem b,
started hotel, (and not whisky mill
called the "Brinton House," which sooI
became favorite place of resort Will
American and English tourists. He Il
making money fast, and his family, it il
thought, have some intention of joining

SAVAGE MUSKRATS.
THEY ATTACK AND BITE THE CITIZENS
OF READING, PA.


OF READING, PA.
Up in Reading, Pa, they now have
an unparalleled sensation in the case of a
man named Newmoyer, who while going
home on Sunday night, was furiously
attacked by number OF muskrats, which
jumped upon him aud bit him quite
savageIy. The rats are still roaming
around, aud the EAGLE gives the follows
ing additional particulars Of the strange
affair.
John Homan, residing at 331 South
Tenth street, said to an EAGLE reporter:
l went home at IL o'clock at night and
when l came to my house officer Lsurish
was on my front pavement and said
there was strange kind of animal in
the corner at the front step. He struck
a match 10 look at it, when l gave it a
kick, thinking 1t cat. 1t jumped on
my breast aud / knocked it off with my
hands by giving it some severe blows. l
then ran into the yard to get stick to
kill 1t with, but, by the time l returned
tho policeman together with Henry Seit-
Finger, and another person, whose name
| did not know, had killedit with stones.
l skinned it and buried the body.
Last evening while Mr.. Newmoyer was
pointing out to an EAGLE reporter exac-
tly the place where he saw the first musk
rats on Sunday night, which was 10
Spruce street on the east side of Tenth,
Levi Bender came along and remarked
81 live only four doors below here on
Tenth have passed here at night num-
Der of years and never saw q muskrat
here and don't believe the statement
that person was attacked here.n
! 'Here is Mr.. Newmoyer and he can
speak for himself" said the EAGLE re-
porter. Mr.. Newmoyer said, 81 hardly
would have believed it myself if had
not seen them myself, been attacked aud
killed one and took it home. Here you
can see the scratches on my face. ]
passed this corner every night during the
last three years, and never saw any musk
rats here before they attacked me-"
"Well," replied Mr.. Bender, 81 have
often passed you, but I never knew
your name and so you are the person
that was attacked ?"
| Mr.. Newmoyer showed the reporter
a new pair OF pantaloons that had beer
purchased only last week, the legs o.
which were full of small holes mad {
by the muskrats in scratching and biting
and hanging fast to his clothing. Hi
overcoat was also muddy where they hac
jumped up against and hung on bis
coat. Two of his sisters stated to tbs
reporter that last week one evening
they saw on Tenth street near Spruce, {
number of animals which they thought
were cats, but which they now think
were muskrats.

A Breeze In the Chester City
Council.

CHESTER, November 18.-There was
considerable excitement this evenings
meeting of the Chester City Council.
Major Daniel Brown, South ward men,
ber, having removed to Philadelphia and
opened hotel In that city, was supposed
to have given up his seat. AT caucus
of the Council DIR. Mercer was elected in
his place. Brown came down from Phil
adelphia tonight, took his seat, and told
the members of the body that he was
their peer and not their vassal. He said
that he was a citizen of Chester and
would hold his seat until his constituents
told him to leave. His claim that he still
lives in Chester makes the Council pow
erless to do anything in the matter and
Brown will probably hold his seat until
his term expires.

An Awkward Affair.

When the announcement of the recent
robbery at North East, Cecil county,
Md, was madepn the Wilmington papers
it caused great 'uneasiness to Mr.. William
7 BARLEY, of the Ninth Ward, because
1t was stated that a white man named
Benjamin BARLEY was connected with
the robbery. The uneasiness was occa-
stoned by the fact that Mr.. Bartiey has
a son named Benjamin living in North
East, but as the son had always been 8
decent, honest, upright man, the father
could not believe for an instant that he
was criminal But to relieve his mind
he telegraphed TO his son yesterday
morning, and had the mystery explained
and his fears dispersed by the following
answer

"What fine market you have here,
was the remark this morning ofa gentle
man who is resident of Maine. "I have
travelled considerable during my life ,and
have seen great many markets, but have
never seen one that equals the Whining
ton MARKET" he continued, "why l am
utterly surprised at the great quantity OF
eatables that is offered for sale, and the
fresh appearance that they have"
The gentleman was correct, finer
niar8et cannot be found anywhere, than
the King street market. Everything
that is offered for sale, has that appear
ahce of freshness, which cannot be
found in the large cities. The quality OF
everything that is offered for sale can be
atested by the fact, that grocers of Phila-
delphia come here and make large pur-
chasps

BY reference to our telegraphic dis
patches this morning it will be seen that
the Supreme Court Of Pennsylvania yes
terday delivered an opinion of special
interest to the keepers of hotels and their
patrons. The court holds that an inn
keeper is bound to pay for goods stolen
in his house from guests, unless stolen
by servant or companion of the guest.
With such responsibility thrust upon
them, travellers should not complain if
landlords become exacting regarding the
character of those who seek the privilege
of their hostelries.
