NEVADA JOURNAL NOVEMBER 13, 1857 247
DUTCH FLAT.—According to the Placer Press, Dutch Flat is becoming one of the most thrifty and
prosperous towns in that county. Several substantial brick buildings have been lately erected besides
numerous frame stores and dwellings, and the whole town wears the business-like appearance of a young
city. Town lots are held enormously high, ranging from $400, to $800, but for which its growth would be
still more rapid.
Case of Butler—The Supreme Court on the 9th inst. filed its decision in the above case, affirming
the judgment of the Court below, and fixing the day for the execution of the judgment on the 11th of
December next. . . .
SAM. BRANNAN’S BANK.—The advertisement of Brannan’s Bank has been summarily
withdrawn from the newspapers.
The Second School Exhibition.—It was a great pleasure to witness the exercises of the young Misses
and Masters of Lockwood’s School at their Exhibition on Wednesday night. Notwithstanding the extreme
coldness of the evening and the raking wind which swept the roads in all directions hundreds were not to
be cheated of the happiness of being present. The dress circle, as on the former occasion, was full and the
seats below fairly occupied, and we venture little in saying that not a soul was present but went away
pleased with the performances of the children. ... But we must say, however, that the little girls, God
bless them, executed their parts better than the boys. Apart from their tasty dresses, and the graces
characteristic of the sex they made a better appearance before the audience than their brothers. They were
more at home, as they always are, took more interest in the work they had before them, and must
necessarily succeed better. The boys were however, “no sardines.” Some of them disputed the palm with
the girls quite closely.
The stage was painfully cold during the exercises. We could not but pity the little fairies with their
gossamer robes on, whose little fingers were red and their fragile forms could illy repress a shiver though
the effort was apparent. The sweet little creatures made no complaint, only too happy in being allowed to
display their accomplishments at any sacrifice. ... The receipts were $235 which will go to extinguish the
debt created by building the public school house.
We notice that Mrs. E. L. Pearson, formerly of this city, is at present the landlady of the Clarendon,
Sacramento. Mrs. Pearson at the time of the great conflagration here, threw open her doors and made her
house a home for the sufferers to its fullest extent. If Nevadans do not repay Mrs. Pearson, in patronage,
now that they have it in their power, they are wanting in the gratitude and justice every human being
should possess.
METEOR.—We saw a most brilliant meteor in the south east at about 6 o’clock on Saturday
evening last. Its course was northward, and was visible but for a few seconds. The heavens are said by
some astronomers to be most prolific in meteoric phenomena during the month of November. To-night is
the anniversary of the celebrated meteoric shower which Prof. Olmstead thinks of annual occurrence.
MISS EMMA STANLEY.—Otur citizens are disappointed in not having the pleasure of witnessing
the personations of Miss Stanley. She has been seriously indisposed for several days, and it is probable
she may not appear on our boards at all.
