NEVADA TRANSCRIPT JANUARY 1 & 3, 1863 5
FUNERAL.—The funeral of David N. Ashmore, will take place from the Hook & Ladder Hall, on
Friday, (to-morrow,) at 12 0’clock P.M.
The Post Office is being moved to the Odd Fellow’s building below and adjoining the National
Exchange. It will be a fine place for the office.
U.S. REVENUE.—The gross amount of revenue collected in Nevada county under the Excise
Laws of the U.S., during the month of December 1862, is $3,541 73, of which $2,755 was on account
of licenses, $705 73 duties on manufactures, lager beer and slaughtered cattle, and $81 duties on billiard
tables, carriages, &c.—all cheerfully paid. Several butchers and manufacturers who have not taken out
licenses for the month of December, are requested to do so as early as possible. The Collector desires us
to say that he will be in Grass Valley, at the Exchange Hotel, on Monday and Tuesday, the 6th and 7th
insts., to issue licenses and receive duties now due. All persons having business with him will save a trip
to Nevada by calling upon there, as it is important that all manufacturers, butchers &c, who are liable to
pay monthly duties be prompt, as the requirements of the law must be complied with.
NEWSPAPERS.—The Chicago Tribune says in relation to the rise of paper, it is producing a
commotion among the publishing fraternity. The paper makers say that the price of rags has advanced and
is still going higher and no telling where it will stop. But the enhancement on white paper is only one of
the several griefs now afflicting the fraternity. Federal taxes on advertisements, paper, job work, income,
telegraph dispatches, and every article of consumption in a printing office, constitute other serious items.
There is but one course left for publishers, and that is to raise their subscription rates.
CHARLES DUNN, Jr.,
Attorney and Counsellor at Law.
OFFICE—In Kidd’s Building, adjoining the office of McConnell & Garber, corner of Broad and Pine streets,
Nevada.
Dec. 17
SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1863

The Union in its list of Judicial Officers of the State, reports Hon. Niles Searls Judge of this District.
Hon. T. B. McFarland is District Judge of the 14th Judicial District, Mr. Union. Searls is practicing law in
this city, and besides being a good lawyer is a splendid man and worthy of any position.

road, in honor of the freedom of their colored friends in the Southern States.
