NEVADA JOURNAL FEBRUARY 6 & 13, 1857 41 promise of winning the highest honors of his profession. It is a pleasure to witness such characters as Romeo, and Claude Melnotte, relieved of the mawkishness that is thrown around them, by the rant and fustian of most actors. .. Mrs. Judah has been a favorite with our citizens from the first. The characters she assumes, could not be better represented, or the satisfaction of the audience more warmly expressed. Messrs. Rand and Dumphries deserve as they have universally received, the highest encomiums for their truthful representations, and correct acting—Dumphries has but few equals in comedy. . . [SHERIFF’S SALE in favor of Herman Amme against Henry Lender for the sum of $711.74. Will sell that certain leasehold interest in the following property of 3 years with the privilege of five years in that parcel of land on Broad st, bounded on the east by the lot of Sydney C. Herbert, on the west by the lot of Joshua A. Cross, the same being 21 3/5 feet—fronting on Broad street, and running back thence 80 feet—together with the House thereon, with the appurtenances thereto; on Feb 21, 1857.] [SHERIFF’S SALE in favor of James Johnston against Wm. H. Endecott for the sum of $910.00. Will sell shares in Poor Man’s Creek Ditch and Union Ditch, and Poor Man’s Ditch Company’s Saw Mill. Also a lot on the north side of Broad st in Nevada City bounded on the east by the lot owned by John Williams, on the west by the lot owned by George Kinney; fronting on said Broad st, twenty feet, more or less, from said William’s lot to said Kinney’s lot, and extending with the lines of said lots; northerly across the ravine eighty feet, more or less, to the line of the lot on which the Metropolis Hotel formerly stood; on Feb 28, 1857.] [SHERIFF’S SALE in favor of Albert Harvell against Chas. H. Bain and John R. Scranton for the sum of $1089.00. Will sell lot on the east side of Broad st, and lying between the Nevada Exchange owned by Foster, Bennett & Co., and land owned by E. E. Hill & Co., and being 23 feet wide, front and rear, and running back from Broad st, towards Main streets, 130 feet more or less, with all and singular etc; on Feb 21, 1857.] FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1857. Report of the Grand Jury. To the Court of Sessions, Nevada County: We.. investigated the circumstances attending the recent escape of prisoners from the County Jail, are constrained to believe that the occurrence was not in consequence of any carelessness on the part of the officers in charge, but is attributable to the inadequate security afforded by the improper fastenings to the cell doors, and to avoid the recurrence of such an accident, would recommend the purchase of a sufficient number of Tab’s Patent Locks, or some equally secure fastenings.. . R. H. FARQUHAR, Foreman. LEE & BENNETT’S CIRCUS.—This circus will soon pay us a visit, with the best company of performers that has ever been in the State. . . Messrs Lee & Bennett inform us that among others, they have secured the services of Mr. Hiram W. Franklin, the renowned general performer; Mr. Fisher, the noted bare-back rider, and slack-rope performer; James Hernandez, single-act equestrian; Geo. Ryland, general performer, and Mr. Worrel, the noted American clown and acrobat. . . . A day or two after the appearance of the last JOURNAL, in which there was a short article about hoops, we received a letter from a curious individual, who wanted to know, whether or not the Nevada ladies used the article. We do not possess the desired information, and it is rather a delicate matter to enquire into. We advise our correspondent to get married, and then he can keep himself posted, in such useful knowledge. Don’t come to bachelors about it.
