DANCING SCHOOL.—We are requested to announce, that Mrs. Clark’s dancing school will open
at Flurshutz Hall, Main street, this evening, if it don’t rain. Should the weather be unfavorable, the
opening will be postponed until Saturday evening. All who are desirous of perfecting themselves in the
elegant accomplishment of dancing, should avail themselves of the present opportunity.
SERIOUS BLASTING ACCIDENT.—Robert Brash and Thomas Morton, Scotchmen, were
seriously injured last Saturday night, by the premature explosion of a blast, at Montezuma Hill. They
were at work in the Montezuma Tunnel, and about twelve o’clock at night had got a hole drilled in the
rock; the powder was poured in, and as they commenced tamping it down, it exploded. The tamping-iron
struck Mr. Brash on the knee, passed up, and shattered the thigh bone from the knee to near the hip. Mr.
Morton was considerably injured in the face and eyes. Dr. Clebourne, of this place, was sent for to attend
the wounded men. Mr. Morton is not seriously injured, but it is feared Mr. Brash will not survive. His leg,
it is said, will have to be amputated.
DIED. In this City, at the residence of his brother, Mr. Geo. Wood, January 23d, of consumption,
Mr. CHARLES WOOD, aged 27 years.
DOWNIEVILLE.—The Sierra Democrat comes to us printed upon a three column sheet. This will
continue for a week or two, and then the proprietors promise a well regulated paper. As we have already
said, the material for a full and complete office is on the way up. The Democrat says:
The condition of the inhabitants of Downieville is yet far from being comfortable. It is true,
a few structures are being erected; but the difficulties attendant upon procuring lumber, and
more than all the want of necessary means to pay for it, is acting materially against the
interests of the place. We are in hopes that the present fair weather will continue, so that our
people can procure such shelters as will protect them against the time when it will cease to be
So.
