50 JANUARY 24, 25, 26, 27, 1865 GRASS VALLEY UNION
TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1865
RICH STRIKE.—Our friend, Wm. Litchfield, says the Gazette, yesterday struck a ledge about four
miles below this city, specimens from which are literally studded with gold. Mr. Litchfield reports that the
ledge is a big one, and contains plenty more of the same kind of rock.
MARRIED. At Indian Springs, January 23d, by Rev. H. Cummings, at the residence of the bride’s
father, Mr. A. B. DRIESBACH, of Carson City, to Miss Lucy E. daughter of H. L. Hatch, Esq.
DANCING SCHOOL.—Mr. Dickinson’s joint class of ladies and gentlemen meets this evening
at Hamilton Hall. We learn that his classes are very popular at Nevada, where he has been engaged in
teaching for considerable time.
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 25, 1865
TO THE PROPERTY HOLDERS OF GRASS VALLEY.—Your attention is called to the Ordinance
of the City Fathers calling for a meeting and election in relation to the construction of waterworks for the
streets. The intention, we believe, is to construct a main reservoir North of the town, and another West,
with iron pipes running through all the streets. The water is expected to be pure and of good quality, and
in sufficient abundance for both fire purposes, and the irrigation of gardens. Diagrams of the proposed
waterworks may be seen at the store of Smith & Ross, Mill Street.
THE NEW COURT HOUSE.—Yesterday the iron shutters were being put up at the court house at
Nevada, and the cells of the prisoners were being fitted up, more, we believe, with a view to their security
than comfort. Five Celestials were brought down from San Juan, for sundry larcenies. This institution is
well patronized, there being no less than twenty inmates at present.
REMOVAL.—The Post-master has removed his office to the Exchange building, on Main street,
next door to the UNION office.
EARTHQUAKE.—About seven 0’clock P.M. on Monday, Jan. 9th, a very severe shock of
earthquake was experienced at Santa Rosa. It was the severest shock ever felt there. So declares the
“oldest inhabitant.”
THURSDAY, JANUARY 26, 1865
About 12 M, yesterday the rain began to descend, straight and gentle, in good California style, with
every promise of a copious shower. The change seems to be received without a murmur, as though it were
rather expected and desired.
CONSOLIDATED.—The San Francisco and Marysville Railroad Company and the Sacramento and
Marysville Railroad Company have been consolidated, under the name of the California Pacific Railroad
Company.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 27, 1865
CHINESE NEW YEAR.—Thursday night was made hideous by the incessant rattle of Chinese
