502 OCTOBER 20 & 21, 1865 NEVADA GAZETTE DISTRICT COURT—SEPTEMBER TERM—HON. T. B. MCFARLAND PRESIDING.— This Court met yesterday morning, when the following business was transacted: Madden vs Cooper—Motion for new trial overruled, exceptions taken, bond on appeal fixed at $600 and proceedings stayed for ten days. Clay vs Curtis—Ordered that Curtis be allowed to withdraw answer, and that no judgment for costs, or otherwise, be entered against him. Williams vs Patterson—Judgment for the plaintiff; counsel to prepare decree. Patterson vs McHugh—Ordered that the $200 deposited under order of Court be paid to John Timmons. Allen vs Finney—Judgment of restitution according to prayer of complaint, without costs to defendant. THE CONCERT TO-NIGHT.—It has been many years since the citizens of Nevada have had an opportunity of attending so chaste and elegant a musical entertainment as that offered at the theater tonight. Madame Bishop gave a series of entertainments in this place many years ago, and all who heard her then will be sure to hear her again. She is said to have lost none of that elegance of style and sweetness and compass of voice that were wont to delight her hearers in years gone by. Mr. Lascelles, her assistant, is now making his first professional tour in this State; but his performances, both as a vocalist and pianist, have been highly commended at the Bay and other places. We anticipate that the theater will be filled tonight by a fashionable and appreciative audience. .. . SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1865 IN TOWN.—Dwight Crittenden, of Summit City, who was elected one of the Justices for Washington township, was in town yesterday. CHANCE FOR INVESTMENT.—The Union Hotel will be sold at public sale to-day, by Charles Kent, in front of the Courthouse. The hotel is now doing a flourishing business, and a fine opportunity is offered for investment. REV. T. H. B. ANDERSON has been appointed by the Pacific Conference as pastor of the Methodist Church South, in Grass Valley. He will preach his first sermon on Sunday the 29th instant... . GONE IN.—We understand that the town of Fordyce City, in Meadow Lake district, has gone in. Some lots were sold, and three or four very good houses erected; but the dispute in regard to the title, and the dangerous position of the site, was too much for it, and the place is now pretty much desettled. THE CONCERT.—Madame Bishop gave her first concert in Nevada last evening. As was expected, she was greeted with a large and appreciative audience, and was received with rapturous applause. We go to press at too early an hour to give a lengthened account of the entertainment; but up to the time we left everything had passed off in fine style, the audience being highly delighted. JUSTICES IN WASHINGTON.—According to the returns which we have received from Washington township for Justices of the Peace, D. Crittenden and J. Jones are the successful candidates. The vote stands as follows: Crittenden, 173; Jones, 147; Garthe, 142; Cochran, 127; Patterson, 48; Root, 26; McFarland, 24. These returns are not official, and a slight variation in one or two precincts might give Garthe a larger vote than Jones. Crittenden and Jones both reside at Summit City. The understanding was to elect one Justice in the upper and one in the lower portion of the township. But where there are numerous candidates, such an arrangement, however well intended, cannot always be carried out.
