376 JULY 7 & 8, 1865 GRASS VALLEY UNION
about the arms and breast. We are informed that had it not been for the prompt advance of Richmond the
little boy would most certainly have received mortal injuries. Boys should be careful how they fool with
dangerous missiles.
SCHUYLER COLFAX.—We have been shown a dispatch which says that Schuyler Colfax will be
in Grass Valley on Wednesday or Thursday evening next. It is not definitely understood whether or nor he
will address the people of Grass Valley on this occasion, but the general supposition is that he will.
JOHN K. SALE IN LUCK.—The Chinese inhabitants of Virginia city have an officer of whom they
are very fond, and to whom they are constantly showing substantial tokens of their affection. In Grass
Valley the Celestials have an officer whom they venerate only next to their Josh [sic]. John Sale is kind
to them, and while around suffers no advantage to be taken of them, and is very justly entitled to their
gratitude. In order to testify their appreciation of his services to them the Ah Sin Tun Company have
purchased a [fine] silver watch and an elegant bullion chain for presentation to Mr. Sale. The watch bears
the following inscription: “Presented to J. K. Sale by Ah Sin Tun Company, Grass Valley, July 4th, 1865.”
The cost of this handsome souvenir is about one hundred dollars, and it is certainly a fiting [sic] present to
an efficient officer. The articles may be seen at the jewelry establishment of Mr. S. Glass, on Main street.
ACCIDENT.—While returning from Grass Valley to Nevada, on the evening of the Fourth, a wagon
containing a Mrs. Green and several young ladies collided with another vehible in which a number of
soldiers were riding, and threw two of the ladies out, injuring Mrs. Green and a young lady, and doing
some injury to two of the soldiers who hail from You Bet, and were named respectively Brown and Hill.
Beyond this nothing in the shape of accidents has been brought to our notice.
BALL TO-NIGHT.—In view of the fact that a number were too much fatigued to attend the ball of
the A.O.O. of H. on Tuesday evening, Grass Valley Council have determined to give a Grand Soiree at
Hamilton Hall to-night. The tickets have been placed at the nominal price of two dollars including supper,
and a gay and festive time is on hand for all who desire to take one more “hop” before the Fourth of July
is entirely out of sight.
THE FIREWORKS .—In our report of the Fourth of July celebration, we omitted unintentionally
to make mention of the display of fireworks which took place from Bennett’s Hill at eight o’clock on
the evening of the 4th. We have heard but one opinion expressed in regard to the fireworks, and that
was that the selection was good, and the setting off excellent. Mr. Chas. Girard and Mr. Ed. McSorley
superintended the setting off, and deserve credit for the successful manner in which that portion of the
celebration was conducted.

Francisco on the Sth inst.
DIED. In this city, July 6th, Emile, son of A. and Teresa Ruck, aged 1 year and . day.
POISONED. A child of James Condon, who resides near Washington, Nevada county, died on the
Fourth of July from the effects of eating rhubarb tops that had been boiled with bacon.

following items in relation to the Excelsior Mining District, in the upper end of Nevada county:
