BORN. At Allison Ranch, July Ist, to the wife of William Larkin, a daughter.
In Grass Valley, July Ist, to the wife of Thomas George, a daughter.
In Grass Valley, June 30th, to the wife of — Loughney, a son.
CURRANT WINE.—Last week Mr. Josiah Rogers made between sixty and seventy gallons of wine
from currants raised in his vineyard on American Hill. This is a large quantity of currant wine for a small
producer.
HORSE OPERA.—Messrs. Cooke, Zoyara & Wilson’s Circus was largely attended on Saturday
night, and the performance gave general satisfaction. This and to-morrow evening the troupe will appear
at Grass Valley.
SICKNESS.—Considerable sickness prevails in this vicinity at present, probably owing in some
degree to the extreme hot weather we have had for the last two weeks. We heard the other day that the
scarlet fever had made its appearance here, but are unable to say how much truth there is in the report.
ANOTHER BALL.—As will be seen by an advertisement in another column, a ball will be
given at the theater to-morrow evening, for the benefit of the Nevada Quadrille Band. This band kindly
volunteered their services at the opening ball, and it is no more than just that the dancing community
reciprocate. The price of tickets [$2.50] is certainly low enough to suit the most attenuated purse.
TUESDAY, JULY 4, 1865
NOTICE.—We have secured the services of Mr. H. R. W. SMITH, who will have charge of the business
department of the Gazette office. W. H. SEARS & Co.
PEOPLE’S UNION TICKET.— . . . Noble Martin heads the ticket for State Senator. Dr. Martin has
resided at Red Dog for a number of years, and is highly respected for his noble qualities. He is a man of
ability, sound discretion, and a good speaker. He came down a Sargent man to attend the first Convention;
but after witnessing the conduct of that gentleman in ostracizing every man who would not bow to his
dictates, he went home disgusted, and declared the people ought not to submit. The Doctor, we believe,
has never held an office in this county. ...
Orlando Evans, or General Evans as he is familiarly called by his acquaintances, is one of the
candidates for the Assembly. The General has been engaged in mining for years just below Sweetland. He
is aman of good judgment, large experience, and fully understands the wants of the county. He also has
never held an office in this State, but we think he was elected by the Whigs Adjutant General of Ohio.
B. F. Welch is a school teacher at Grass Valley. He is a gentleman of fine attainments and a good
education, which fits him for an able legislator.
W. S. Head is one of the owners in the Merrimac ledge, near this city. He is a practical miner,
and feels a deep concern in guarding the welfare of mining interests of the State. He made a good
impression before the Convention by his independent manner, and showed that he was well qualified for a
representative.
