NEVADA DEMOCRAT JANUARY 21 & 28, 1857 5
Monday evenings. The performances were received with great satisfaction, and the burlesque pieces kept
the audience convulsed in laughter. The “La Perche” and “Infatuated Chinaman,” as played by this
company cannot be beat.
County Financial Troubles.
From the best information we can obtain, it seems that at the time of the death of W. W. Wright, late
Sheriff of Nevada county, there had been collected about nineteen thousand dollars on taxes, which up to
that time he had failed to pay over to the County Treasurer.
At the last session of the Board of Supervisors, the District Attorney was directed to proceed against
the sureties of the late Sheriff for the collection of the taxes unaccounted for, and Henry Meredith was
employed on behalf of the public, with the District Attorney. Proceedings were soon after commenced
against C. K. Houghtaling [Hotaling] to compel him to surrender into the custody of the County Treasurer
three several bags of monies collected by the Sheriff as taxes, and which Houghtaling, as administrator of
Wright, obtained possession of.
An injunction was issued by Judge Searls, and the monies ordered into court. The amount thus
ordered and paid in is about $6000. The defendant means to dissolve the injunction, and this motion will
probably be argued and determined today. It is to be hoped that the monies of the State and County will be
speedily applied to the purposes for which they were collected.
ROBBERY.—Some literary individual entered a cabin near Cayoteville, on Saturday last, and stole
three novels, and a butcher-knife belonging to a former lieutenant of the sixth division of the San
Francisco Vigilance Committee. The thief left untouched half a sack of Tilley’s “self-rising,” [flour] a pair
of blankets, and two Colt’s revolvers—the balance of the effects of the occupant.
NEW PAPER.—We have been informed that Mr. McDonald, formerly of the Downieville Citizen, is
making arrangements to establish a paper at San Juan, in this county. San Juan is a thriving town, and we
should judge that a paper properly conducted might be supported there.
MARRIED. In Marysville, Jan. 13th, at the Merchants’ Hotel, by the Rev. E. B. Walsworth, MR.
JOSEPH LAMBERT, Agent Pacific Express, Nevada, to Mrs. N. M. MARTIN, of San Francisco.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1857]
THEATER.—Mrrs. Julia Dean Hayne made her first appearance at the Nevada Theater on Monday
evening, and was greeted with a crowded house. The celebrated French drama of “Camille” was played,
and the several members of the company acquitted themselves handsomely. The play itself is not
generally admired, and is little adapted to please the popular taste. The sick-chamber scene is really
painful to witness. The reputation of Mrs. Hayne as an accomplished and talented actress is well
established, and in her personation of the character of the Parisian belle she fully came up to the
expectations of the public. ...
Mrs. Hayne is supported by one of the best stock companies in the State, among whom are Mrs.
Judah and Mr. Rand, old favorites with our theater-going citizens, and Mr. Pope, who appears for the first
time on the Nevada boards. To-night the beautiful play of the “Hunchback” will be presented—Mrs.
Hayne as Julia, and Mr. Pope as Master Walter.
