NEVADA GAZETTE MAY 1, 1865 231
SINCE it (Grass Valley Union) came into the hands of the present owners, it has steadily
grown to be a favorite of loyal men.—(Transcript.
Yes; of the “loyal men” of Allison Ranch.
COMPLIMENTS BETWEEN THE COW AND THE HAYSTACK.—The Transcript and the Grass
Valley Union puffing each other.
MARRIED. In Grass Valley, April 29th, by Rev. H. H. Hartwell, Mr. GEORGE W. WEEKS of Nevada
and Miss MELISSA ROUSE of the former place.
In Pescadero, Santa Cruz county, April 16th, Mr. L. W. WILLIAMS and Miss HATTIE S. FROST, late
of New York.
CALICO PARTY.—The calico party for the benefit of Tiger Hook, Ladder and Bucket Company
No. 1, will take place at Hamilton Hall, Grass Valley, to-night. The company being organized for the
benefit of the town, the citizens should liberally patronize the company’s benefit party.
A SECOND TRIAL.—At the last term of the County Court a woman named [Fidelia] Brown,
residing in the rebel precincts of Allison Ranch, got a divorce from her husband on the ground of habitual
drunkenness. This event, or something else, threw [Ira A.] Brown into a sober fit, during which his former
cara sposa again fell in love with and married him. After a honeymoon of a whole week, Brown again
went on a spree, which he has continued ever since; and on Saturday the double Mrs. Brown sent word
to her attorney that she wanted him to procure another divorce for her, on the same ground as before.
He swears, however, that Mrs. Brown must remain in her present condition of connubial unhappiness
for the space of twelve calendar months before he will assist her to get rid of her obnoxious bonds. In
the meantime Mrs. Brown can quarrel and make it up again with her liege lord as often as she pleases,
without the expense attending matrimony and divorce.
THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION—We presume there is not any one man in town who would
have selected just such a ticket as is presented to-day for our suffrages at the municipal election, by a
committee of citizens appointed for the purpose; yet all must confess that the candidates are well chosen,
and the various interests of the city well represented by them. . . . We believe there will be no opposition
to the citizens’ nominees. For the office of City Marshal there are three candidates—all well known and
all doubtless well qualified for the position—the present incumbent, Stephen Venard, Ben. Locklin and
George S. Pierce. . . All the candidates are Union, men of unquestionable record.
MAY DAY.—Our young folks—and old folks, too—will celebrate May Day to-morrow, by a picnic,
arranged under the auspices of the various Sunday Schools, in which all who choose are welcome to
participate. The ground chosen is a pleasant spot on the eminence west of the Sugar Loaf, delightfully
shaded and spread with a pretty natural carpet of green. Swings have been erected and ground prepared
for innocent games for the general amusement and recreation, and as everybody will contribute
something toward the commissariat, there will be an abundant feast of good things. The sale of liquor
will not be permitted on or about the grounds, and we hope no one will be reckless enough to attempt
an infringement of this salutary rule. Sunday school children will meet at the Congregational church a 7
o’clock to-morrow morning, and march to the grounds. Articles designed for the picnic may be sent to
either church, where committees will receive them. In the evening Mrs. Blum will give a pleasant May
Party at Temperance Hall, which will furnish an appropriate mode of ending the day’s festivities.
