GRASS VALLEY UNION JANUARY 27 & 31, 1865 51 fire crackers, in honor of the New Year, according to the Celestial reckoning.

AdMiISSION...... eee 50 Children 25 TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1865 SAD AFFAIR.—. .. . We learn from the parties who brought over the cattle of Cassin [John Cashin] & [James] Davis, that they crossed the summit on Friday in the midst of a terrible storm, from Honey Lake via the Donner Lake and Dutch Flat route. The same day they met two men, one named George Nichols, the other unknown, with a small peddling wagon, going eastward, whom they endeavored to dissuade from going on that day, but without success. The drovers learned that on the next day, 28th instant, Nichols and another person who was in the employ of the Pacific Turnpike company, whilst engaged in attempting to clear the road from a “snow slide,” were caught by [an] . . . avalanche, carried over a precipice at least seventy feet in depth, and buried fathoms below, beyond the hope of succor. It is thought the bodies cannot be recovered before the Summer. FORMIDABLE SURGICAL OPERATION.—Dr. E. A. Tompkins, assisted by Drs. Davis and Kibbe, of this place, removed numerous large and hardened glands from the [unreadable] region of the left arm of Mrs. Ferry. The numerous hardened glands extended from the deepest portion of the armpit, down even below the mammary glands and under the large muscles of the breast. The lady was made insensible to pain, from the operation of chloroform, administered by Dr. Harris of this town. The operation is truly a triumph of surgery. The patient is doing well. THE three cells in the Nevada jail are nearly completed, and to-day each will have an occupant. These cells are eight feet square, made entirely of boiler iron three-eighths of an inch in thickness. Speaking ironically, a prisoner would have a happy time in breaking out of one of them.
