150 JULY 3 & 10, 1857 NEVADA JOURNAL
house was crowded from pit to gallery. It was an audience such as Jacobs alone can draw. The wizard is
indeed a wonderful performer. He performs the most astonishing feats and defies detection. Just think of a
man treating two hundred to whatever they call for out of one and the same bottle! Not less inexplicable
are the other tricks of the wizard. As an improvisatore he beats the world, singing an extemporaneous
song on any or all subjects given him without a moment’s hesitation. Jacobs appears again tonight and
tomorrow night at the same place. It is useless to bespeak a house—it cannot fail to be crowded.

FRIDAY, JULY 10, 1857.
That Bell.—Our court house was day before yesterday rigged with a bell which ever and anon rings
its dulcet notes over the city. It is a welcome messenger of events and a decided advantage to all within
the sound of its voice.
Corner Stone Ceremonies.
The corner stone of the Congregational Church of this city was laid on the 4th of July, accompanied
with appropriate ceremonies and exercises. An introductory anthem was sung by the choir of the Church,
after which Rev. Martin Kellogg, of Grass Valley, read select portions of scripture, which as a whole
formed a collection, so particularly appropriate, that it seemed to be written almost expressly for the
occasion. A prayer was then offered by the same clergyman. Another anthem was again sung by the choir,
which by its appropriateness and execution, added greatly to the interest and dignity of the occasion. Rev.
Mr. Warren then proceeded to deposit the following articles, a full list of which we have taken pains to
secure.
1. A copy of the Bible, presented for the occasion by Mrs. J. S. Harrison.
2. The confession of Faith and Covenant of the church.
3. The history of the church with a list of its officers, &c.
