NEVADA JOURNAL JANUARY 23, 1857 19
deliver a public lecture on this, (Friday) evening, at the M. E. Church. SUBJECT—Domestic and Moral
condition of Utah. Admittance, free. We know Mr. Hyde to be a gentleman of education and ability—at
one time a sincere and earnest follower of the Mormon faith, and now an equally sincere and earnest
opponent, and exposer of its errors. Our citizens will never have the opportunity to hear facts and
arguments on this interesting subject from a more reliable source.
THE HON. PHILLIP MOORE.—This gentleman is the only democratic representative from Nevada
county, who can show a clean record in relation to the senatorial contest. He did not vote for either
Broderick or Gwin, and therefore occupies a very favorable position. We learn from private sources, and
the newspaper reports, that Mr. Moore has been giving the strictest attention to his legislative duties; and
if he continues to do so to the end of the session, he will make a creditable representative. He possesses
more than the average capacity of California assemblymen.
TAXES.—The tax sale advertised to take place on Tuesday last, has been postponed until
to-morrow. This will allow our friends a little more time to save their property, and will be the last chance.
The performances of the Nevada Minstrels on Friday and Saturday evenings were received with
roars of laughter. The “La Perche” and the “Infatuated Chinaman” were interesting, and were received
with much eclat. The singing of J. M. Langdon, the fancy dances by Maguire, and the banjo solos by
Allen, also brought the house down.
DITCH SUIT.—A heavy suit is now pending in the District Court between Kidd, et al, vs Laird, et
al, to determine the right to the waters of Deer creek. It involves hundreds of thousands of dollars
property. The plaintiffs move for an injunction, which is now under advisement, on the showing of the
pleadings and affidavits. McConnell & Stewart, and A. A. Sargent are the attorneys for plaintiffs;
Buckner & Hill, and Henry Meredith for defendants. It is the most important suit ever brought in this
district.
FIRE CO.—What has become of the fire company which was organized a few months ago? Is it still
alive, or has it fallen back into chaos, because no interest has been taken in it by our citizens? Probably
our property holders will do something about it, after we have been burnt up again.
NOBLE ACT.—The N. Y. Zimes says that Lola Montez, on her way across the Isthmus from
California, saved a boy belonging to Walker’s army, who was sick with the fever, and placed him on her
own mule, while she undertook to walk from Virgin Bay.
WEATHER.—For a few days past we have had glorious sunshine, to compensate for the gloom, rain
and mud of the past month. Our citizens are swarming from under their covers, and seem to enjoy it
amazingly. There is water enough for the present, and we can afford to have sunshine.
To Let.
THE hall at the foot of Main street can be rented on Sundays and other evenings during the week, by
application to Boswell & Hanson. There are all the suitable conveniences for Church.
