NEVADA DEMOCRAT DECEMBER 2, 1857 255
GONE HOME.—We learn that Mr. Grove Yale, the blind cripple, for whose benefit a ball was given
at San Juan, on the 3d of November, left on the steamer of the 20th, for his home in Connecticut, where
his parents now reside. An effort was being made to procure for him a free passage on the steamer, but
with what success we have not learned. The net proceeds of the ball amounted to $517, which will be
amply sufficient to defray all his expenses. He left in charge of two acquaintances, who agreed to take
care of him on his journey home.
QUARTZ PROPERTY TO BE SOLD.—The quartz mill, leads, and other property belonging to the
Helvetia and Lafayette Gold Mining Company, at Grass Valley, will be sold by the Sheriff next Tuesday,
to satisfy some sixteen executions against the company. This property was put up about a month ago to
satisfy the executions, and bid off for parties in San Francisco, for the sum of $29,750; but the parties for
whom it was bid off failed to pay for it, and the Sheriff has again advertised the property for sale.
FIRE ALARM.—The startling cry of “fire” was raised about half past nine o’clock, last Saturday
evening, occasioned by the soot taking fire in the chimney of a house situated between Pine and Broad
streets, west of the court house. In a few seconds the streets were filled with people, but the cause of the
alarm becoming known, the thoroughfares were almost as suddenly deserted.
BURGLARIES.—The house of Judge Buckner was broken open on Tuesday night of last week, and
a gold watch, valued at two hundred and fifty dollars, and some sixty dollars in money stolen. Attempts
were made the same night to break into the houses of Wm. Smith and C. F. Wood, but the inmates being
aroused by the noise, the burglars took themselves off.
BANKING HOUSE.—Mr. C. W. Mulford, having recently returned from the Atlantic States, has
again opened a banking house, at his old stand on Main street, lately occupied by Messrs. Hagadorn &
Kellogg. Mr. Mulford is too well known in this community as an honorable business man to require any
recommendation from us.
FAILURE.—Considerable excitement was created at Orleans, Moore’s, and Wolsey’s [sic] Flats
last week, in consequence of the failure of Mr. C. F. Cutler, who has recently erected a saw mill at
Moore’s Flat. His liabilities amount to about $16,000, due in small sums to parties in his own
neighborhood.
ROBBERY.—A merchant of Orleans Flat was stopped on the road near that place, by two
highwaymen, one day last week, and robbed of forty dollars.
ACCIDENT.—On Saturday morning last, Mr. Montgomery Howe, while repairing his
reservoir on the hill in the neighborhood of Freeman’s Crossing, fell from the dam, a distance
of twelve feet, on a pile of cragged rocks, and was severely bruised on various parts of the
body. No bones were broken, but one knee was so badly cut and strained as to be extremely
painful, and will probably lay him up for several weeks.—North San Juan Star [Sat. Dec. 5.]
The contract with Messrs. Butterfield & Co. for the conveyance of the entire letter mail,
semi-weekly, in four-horse coaches for California, has been made. The trip is to be made in 25 days. The
route has two starting points on the Mississippi, one at St. Louis, and one at Memphis, making a junction
