NEVADA GAZETTE MARCH 3 & 4, 1865 119
ARRESTED.—A Chinaman named Ah Yen was arrested at French Corral on Wednesday last by
Deputy Sheriff W. A. Jones, and lodged in jail to await a requisition from the Sheriff of Sierra county.
Some two years ago he was imprisoned in that county on a charge of grand larceny, but succeeded in
effecting his escape. It seems the Sheriff has a Chinese detective in his employ, and he “spotted” Ah Yen.
A NEVADA SCHOOLMA’AM IN A NEW LOCATION.—We are pleased to learn that our old
friend Miss Carrie Smith, who formerly taught the Primary Public School in this city, and afterward
a private school at the head of Broad street, has been employed to teach the public school of Austin,
Nevada, the lady who formerly filled the place having refused to take the oath of loyalty prescribed for
teachers by the Nevada Legislature. The citizens of Austin are fortunate in having secured the services of
so excellent a teacher and so estimable a lady as Miss Smith.
THE BALL.—Remember that the grand ball at the New York Hotel takes place to-night. Very
extensive preparations have been made for this occasion—in fact nothing has been left undone to insure
complete success; and from present indications it promises to be a fine affair. Indeed it could not well be
otherwise when the names of such men as Judge McFarland, Judge Belden, “Uncle Ike,” C. C. Leavitt,
Harv. Helm and Frank Cleveland appear on the committee. Excellent music has been engaged, and a fine
supper will be spread. Give Mrs. Adams a rousing benefit to-night.
THE GRASS VALLEY UNION.—We neglected yesterday to mention that another change has
taken place in the management of this paper. Mr. [Henry] Blumenthal retires from the concern, having
sold his interest to Messrs. [Solomon] Shane & [George] Shearer. Judge [Edmund] Roberts, who has
lately officiated as editor of the paper, also announces that he has vacated the tripod. We have briefly
to say to the Judge’s successor, that if he wants to use any item he may find in our paper, we shall not
quarrel with him about credits, provided he don’t credit our items to another source, as he did yesterday
morning. We don’t like that. We wish the Union prosperity under the new management.
THE San Jose Mercury says: “On Sunday morning last the hills on either side of our valley, as far
as the eye could reach, were covered with snow from their summits to within a few hundred feet of the
plain. It was a grand sight, such as may not be witnessed again in a score of years.”
SATURDAY, MARCH 4, 1865
INAUGURATION DAY.
To-day Abraham Lincoln will resign his authority as President of the United States, immediately
to resume it again in obedience to the request and command of his grateful people, whose gratitude
to and confidence in the ruler whose wisdom, courage and firmness have brought them thus far safely
and with unabated prosperity through perils more imminent than ever a Nation hitherto has survived,
have been manifested by their almost unanimous choice of him as his own successor. To-day he will be
inaugurated as President for another term of four years. . .. Let us celebrate the day, as the beginning
of an Administration which promises to be a most fortunate one for the American people, as well as the
ending of one which has proved most fortunate for mankind.
AT Grass Valley on Thursday morning the thermometer stood at 16°—at least six degrees warmer
than it was here.
A USELESS WRIT.—We mentioned yesterday, that Deputy Sheriff Jones had arrested a Chinaman
at French Corral, on the charge that he was an escaped prisoner from Sierra county, and brought him to
