426 AUGUST 8 & 9, 1865 GRASS VALLEY UNION
were elected, amd Messrs. Stone and Clarke felt perfectly satisfied with the result. Had there been no
opposition, perhaps fifty votes would not have been polled. With the opposition ticket in the field, one
hundred and thirty-eight votes were cast. We fail to see where the “contemptible dodge” came in. As
for “Long” or “Short Hair” being brought into the contest, the item in the “National” gave us the first
intimation of such an issue. Better keep such issues out of the school department as much as possible; but
if it is desired to be pushed, we think we can show very clearly where the effort had its start. . . .
GOT SOLD.—Several of our gay Lotharios got pretty badly sold on Monday night. These young
bloods have a fashion of going in late when there happens to be an entertainment that winds up with
a dance. They never take a lady partner with them, but expect to “bum” as many dances as they want.
In a number of instances people who take their wives or sweethearts and pay for their admission, find
themselves ruled out of nearly all the dances by these officious fellows. If there are twelve dances on the
programme, they will have at least half a dozen engagements with every lady in the room, and those who
take the ladies there and pay their expenses have to stand by and look on, while these Jeremy Diddlers of
the ball room enjoy their society and the pleasure of dancing with them. On Monday evening, several of
these came in at the nick of time, as they thought, to dance. But as soon as the exhibition was through, the
ladies and gentlemen who had attended the panorama left the hall, and as a consequence the “extra” gents
couldn’t dance for lack of partners. Remember the old adage, “Those who dance must pay the fiddler.”
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.—A man named John Perrin yesterday received terrible injuries by the
caving of a portion of the Badger mine in which he was at work. His right thigh has been completely
smashed, and other external injuries sustained which, in the event of his surviving must cripple him for
life. Drs. Kibbe and Millar are in attendance upon the unfortunate man, and are as yet unable to determine
whether or not he has sustained any internal injuries.
THE PANORAMA.—It is to be regretted that the proprietors of the Panorama recently on exhibition
here, did not meet with the success which the merits of the painting entitled them to. The Panorama has
gone to Nevada, where we hope it will be fully appreciated and liberally patronized. Mr. Campbell, the
artist, is a very clever gentleman, and it is with regret that we chronicle the fact of his exhibition here not
having been a success. Perhaps another trial will result in a more profitable manner.
CHANGED HANDS.—The well known Empire Saloon has changed hands, our handsome friend
James B. Jeffery having sold out to L. P. Johnson. The present proprietor is the same courteous, affable
gentleman who has been Jim’s assistant in the saloon for sometime past. Under his supervision the
“Empire” will continue to maintain the reputation it has ever enjoyed. Johnson invites his friends to come
and see him now that he has become boss.
DEPREDATIONS.—Mr. Edwards of the Gold Hill Mill, who resides on the corner of Mill and
Chapel streets, had a number of fine, young fruit trees destroyed on Monday night by some of his
neighbors cows. We have been requested to inquire as to the whereabouts of the pound-keeper. This
thing of stray animals breaking into a man’s premises and destroying trees that cost him years of toil and
expenditure to raise, is about played out. We would remind owners of cattle that if they permit them to run
at large to the injury and annoyance of other people, they may expect to have some of them shot.
MISS ANGELINA STARR KING.—This talented young lady will entertain the good people of
Grass Valley with a series of her excellent readings on or about Thursday evening of next week. As all are
aware, Miss King is a comparative stranger both to California and to literary fame. But recently coming
amongst us, unheralded and unsung, she has, nevertheless, commpletely astonished and electrified the
