Human Interest and Humor 1877 January A paid local in the Grass Valley Union reads: “Somebody has left a pair of boots at the Saloon of Daws and Gilbert. The owner of them will please call and take them away.” We should think it would have been as easy for Bill Daws to have sent the boots to the Union office as the notice.

February Dr. Hunt was called to the morgue yesterday morning to ascertain the cause of death of a man that had been brought to that place the night before. On viewing the corps, the Dr. pronounced it a genuine case of dead drunk. It proved true, as the fellow was walking around town yesterday afternoon.

They say they had a glorious time. We did not see any of the trout. April Why is September like the transgression of Adam? Because it was the beginning of the Fall.

Getchel, former Marshal of this city, was riding in a sulk on the Grass Valley road. His horse stumbled and fell, capsizing the vehicle. The driver was thrown with such force that one of his legs was broken. the old man righted himself, and not withstanding his wounded member, he got the horse up, righted the sulky and drove into town. He made application to all the physicians here, but found none that could repair the damage, and he will be compelled to send to Philadelphia to have the wounded member properly set. P.S. It was his wooden leg. June John Swett, Superintendent of Public , Schools evidently knows something/~\ which a great many people have n learned: If you want to find out how little you know of any subject try to write a readable article on it.

August Last Saturday was the time fixed for the. end of the world, but so many women had not finished canning fruit that the affair was postponed. September John Hearne gave a dinner to a remarkably polite tramp. This led to the union oftwo brothers who had been separated 18 years.
