NEVADA GAZETTE JANUARY 3 & 4, 1865 1
TUESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1865
BORN. At Moore’s Flat, Nevada county, December 30th [1864], to the wife of Philip Abraham, a
son.
BOUND OVER.—Mow Kee, a Chinaman resident at Grass Valley, was on Saturday held to bail in
$800 to answer a charge of grand larceny at the next term of the District Court.
SADDLERY.—Onr friend W. G. Jenkins has purchased the establishment and stock of E. P.
Larrabee, and continues the business at the old stand, near the foot of Main street. Every article in his
shop is of excellent material and superior workmanship.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS.—On Saturday night last Liberty Division No. 17, [Sons of
Temperance], elected the following officers for the ensuing quarter: Wm. J. Beggs, W.P.; L. W. Williams,
W.A.; — Taylor, R.S.; John Belden, A.R.S.; J. F. Drake, F.S.; P. Sutton, Treasurer; Thomas Baldwin,
Chaplain; — Osborne, C.; G. S. S. Getchell, A.C.; Franklin Bates, I.S.; J. B. Gray, O.S. The installation
will take place on Saturday evening next.
LIST OF LETTERS.—The publication of the official list of uncalled-for letters at the Nevada
postoffice has been awarded to this paper for the current year, it appearing that the Gazette has a larger
circulation within the range of delivery of the postoffice in this city than any other paper. The postoffice
advertising is not worth anything, except as showing that the paper receiving it is the most popular and
widely circulated in the community.
OPENING OF THE YEAR.—Since Nevada was a mining camp, we do not think so dull a New
Year has ever been observed here. Several causes combined to produce this effect. The day was Sunday;
the weather was stormy; times were dull and money scarcer than it has been since the time whereof the
memory of man runneth not to the contrary. . .. On Monday, however, the weather was delightful, and
a few persons observed the old custom of making New Year calls. Some of the business houses were
closed. In the evening there were balls at the National Exchange Hotel and at Temperance Hall, both of
which were well attended, and passed off pleasantly.
The opening of the year 1865 finds us generally in impecunious circumstances. The success of
mining operations since the rains has not been so general as yet to have any marked effect upon business.
Indeed, the continuity of the storm is the principle hindrance to prosperous mining. However, our
prospects were never better than now for a favorable season of mining and trade; and should no untoward
calamity occur during the year, its close will probably find our citizens in circumstances of unusual
prosperity.
Notice.
THE UNDERSIGNED WILL APPLY TO the Board of Supervisors of Nevada county, at their next regular
meeting, in February, for a renewal of his license to keep a Toll Bridge on the Middle Yuba River, at a point known
as “Freeman’s Crossing” THOMAS FREEMAN.
