380 JULY 12, 1865 GRASS VALLEY UNION
assault upon the Union ticket. Fools are said to rush in where angels fear to tread. The sore heads will find
that two can play at the same game. The Gazette is the organ of the Sheriff, and let that official receive
back some of his own coin. . .
Ifa man’s capacity for office is to be guaged [sic] by his capacity for whiskey, the present Sheriff
of the county is eminently capable of filling all the offices in the State. If blarneying and hugging the
frowsiest specimens of the race about election time, are recommendations, our Sheriff is unexcelled
by any man on the continent; and if promising seven hundred and seventy odd men a deputyship and
upwards of a thousand the position of jailor, is an exhibition of one of the cardinal virtues, the Sheriff
ought to be re-elected as often as he desires, which is as often as the years roll round in couplets. . . .
BORN. DOoRNIN. At North San Juan, July 10th, to the wife of George D. Dornin, a son.
LISLE. At Forest Springs, July 11th, to the wife of Alex. Lisle, a son.
TOPSY TURVY.—This talented lady gave one of her parlor entertainments at Hamilton Hall on
Monday evening. The house was not as well filled as it should have been, but those who were present
went away very much delighted. Mrs. Chamberlain (Topsy) will give another reading in Grass Valley,
and we bespeak for her that patronage which her talent so eminently entitles her to. Apart from her
abilities as a poetic and prose writer, she has claims upon us which have never been urged in vain in other
instances. Mrs. Chamberlain has not selected reading in public as a pastime. It is with her simply a matter
of necessity. Possessing a full share of that modesty which should always characterize the sex, she has
ventured to submit her talent, in public reading, to the criticisms of the masses, for the purpose of earning
a support for herself and family of little ones. Taking, then, into consideration the peculiar circumstances
that have brought this lady in our midst, we again appeal to our citizens to greet her with a well filled
house the next time she essays to read in Grass Valley.
COLFAX AND PARTY.—The Speaker and his party will visit Donner Lake and return to
Illinoistown before starting for Grass Valley, and the probabilities are that they will arrive here at .
o’clock this afternoon. They are to be put through in a special stage, however, and every effort will be
made to get them here as early as possible. In Nevada preparations are being made to give the party a
splendid supper at the National Hotel. Nearly all of the Nevada folks are coming down here to meet them,
and at the entrance of Nevada, the Light Guard will meet the entire party and escort them in style into the
city. We hope Grass Valley will not be behind in her tribute of respect to the distinguished guests who are
about to visit us.
FAREWELL, FOR AWHILE.—We shall leave these gay and festive scenes to-day on a brief trip
to San Francisco. During our absence the UNION will be taken care of by able and competent hands. Our
absence will not number many days, and during our visit to the Bay City we shall carefully jot down
all matters of importance for the benefit of our readers. For the benefit of our bachelor friends, we shall
advise all the handsome girls we meet in San Francisco to emigrate to Grass Valley, and during our stay
below we will say all the good things we know about our pretty mountain town. Until our return we
commend the UNION to the good offices of our friends.
HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—A Chinaman was knocked down and robbed of four hundred and twenty
dollars on the old Grass Valley road at about nine o’clock yesterday morning. The Celestial was bringing
in the money for the purpose of settling up with S. D. Bosworth, here, and when within a mile of town,
aman came up behind him, tripped him, and then robbed him of all the money he had. The foot pads are
becoming rather bold and daring and cannot much longer elude the vigilance of our officers.
