2 JANUARY 4, 1856 NEVADA JOURNAL
THE RAVEL’S.—This celebrated troupe will appear before the people of Nevada City for the first
time, on Monday evening next, in the new Theatre. It is the largest and best organized company in the
States, consisting of twenty-three persons, ladies and gentlemen. They have been performing below with
great success. We predict for them an excellent run in Nevada.
A HINT.—The experiment of graveling the streets of Sacramento has been tried on a small scale, the
[Sacramento] Union says, with success. There is an abundance of excellent gravel in the vicinity of
Nevada. Broad street and Main street need improvement badly. Would it not be well to try it here?
SWORD PRESENTATION.—A sword was presented by the friends of Mr. Warwick to that
gentleman on Wednesday evening in the theatre. A neat address was made by Col. Taylor, of Downieville,
on the presentation, which was happily responded to by Mr. Warwick.
HOTEL CHANGE.—[David] W. Aldrich, the popular landlord of Metropolis Hotel, retired on the
lst instant, to give place to Mrs. Brooks of Sacramento. The Hotel will lose nothing by the change. A
party was given on New Years’ Eve by the Proprietress, on assuming charge of the establishment which
was finely attended, and highly enjoyed by all present.
THE FRIENDS OF MR. WIGGINS.—One of those touching little incidents which go so far toward
rendering life tolerable came off a few days since in this place. We refer to the presentation of a pair of
boots to Mr. Wiggins by his admirers and friends. The boots were procured from one of the parties to the
presentation, by whom they were originally purchased for his own use, but proving a little tight across the
toes, were furnished at a slightly reduced price for this interesting occasion. In order that the whole affair
should pass off with the greatest possible eclat, Mr. Dumpy of Donkeyville, a modest city located upon
the head waters of Little Deer Creek, was selected to make the presentation, which important part he
performed in his usual happy manner. The whole party then adjourned to one of the open bars, and
partook of a collation of boiled ham and whisky toddy. Toasts and speeches followed, which we regret the
want of space in our columns to insert. Another of our acquaintances has a boot-jack which does not
answer the purpose for which it was purchased and we look for a recurrence of this interesting ceremony.
BILLIARD SALOON.—MESssRS. [VICTOR] BOLEY & [JOHN] BROULETTE entertained their friends
last evening at their new Billiard saloon on Commercial Street preparatory to its opening, which will be in
a few days? The rooms are well adapted to the purpose and the persons connected with the Saloon are
gentlemanly and courteous. We bespeak for them a liberal patronage.
BALL.—An anniversary Ball is to take place on the 8th inst. at the house of Messrs. Job & Johnson,
Gold Hill. Extensive preparations have been made, a grand turn out and a pleasant time may be
confidently expected. We know some of the getters up of the affair and better fellows are scarce.
MARRIED. At Omega, on 27th ult., by G. W. Tallman, Esq., Mr. FRANKLIN W. HUDSON, to Miss
ELIZA JANE SHORT, both of the former place.
In this city on New Year’s evening, Mr. ALBERT MAU to Miss OTILLEGE [OTTILIE] BETHIN, all of
this place.
At Sebastopol, in this county, by Rev. L. S. Ely on the 22d December, Mr. L. W. CHASE and Miss
MARTHA NELSON, all of Sebastopol.
