598 DECEMBER 19 & 20, 1865 NEVADA GAZETTE
FREIGHT FROM MARYSVILLE.—We notice that a considerable amount of freight, for our
merchants and others, is now being received at Nevada by way of Marysville. This diversion of the course
of trade is occasioned by the withdrawal of the teams from the Sacramento route, and the extra cost of
bringing the freight by way of the railroad. In the season of high water, when navigation to Marysville
is unobstructed, all kinds of freight can be brought some cheaper by Marysville; and then the railroad
company have a way of charging for bulky goods, which frequently makes the difference more than
double. Unless the railroad reduces its charges, the most of the freight to Nevada will hereafter come by
way of Marysville in the Winter and Spring, and by teams from Sacramento in the Summer and Fall.
FRENCH CORRAL.—We learn from Mr. George Fagg, who came over yesterday from French
Corral, that times are quite lively in that part of Bridgeport township. The miners have plenty of water,
are all at work and mostly doing well, while business of all kinds is flourishing. The Empire mill, erected
at Empire Flat, for crushing cement, is nearly completed, and will be started up in two or three days. This
mill is owned entirely by a company of Frenchmen. Eddy & Co. contemplate erecting a sixty stamp mill
near French Corral, also for crushing cement, of which they have a large quantity in their diggings, that is
too hard to be worked in any other manner. . . .
SUPERVISOR.—An election for Supervisor of the Third District, composed of the townships of
Bridgeport, Bloomfield and Eureka, was held yesterday. The members of the Union Central Committee
for those townships nominated A. L. Woodruff, and we learn that H. P. Sweetland was running as a
Democratic candidate and J. B. Johnson as an independent candidate. Very little interest has been taken in
the election, and it is expected that a small vote will be polled.
PERSONAL.—We had the pleasure yesterday of meeting Dr. William J. Knox, an old-time citizen
of Nevada [County], but now a resident of Santa Clara, which county he represents in the State Senate.
The Senatorial question having been disposed of, by the election of the Doctor’s favorite candidate, he got
leave of absence for a day to visit his old home and renew old acquaintances. He leaves this morning for
Sacramento.
HOLIDAY GIFTS.—Mr. G. R. Crawford, corner of Broad and Pine streets, has just received a
choice selection of elegantly bound books, photograph albums, colored photographs, etc., designed for
Holiday gifts. If any of our friends design giving us a Christmas present they will oblige us by leaving an
order with Mr. Crawford, and allow us to make the selection—and we will guarantee satisfaction.
DISTRICT COURT—DECEMBER TERM—HON. T. B. MCFARLAND PRESIDING.— This Court met
yesterday morning, when the following business was transacted:
Whartenby vs Halligan—Decree of foreclosure.
Litchfield vs Hedyer—Judgment for plaintiff.
Aubens vs Aubens—Decree of divorce.
LADIES’ FAIR.—The ladies of Grass Valley have determined to give a Fair for the benefit of
the Catholic Orphan Asylum at that place. It will be held at the Asylum, and kept open three days, viz:
December 28th, 29th and 30th.
WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1865
MARRIED. At the Cosmopolitan Hotel, San Francisco, December 16, 1865, by Rev. Mr. Wyatt,
of the Episcopal Church, WM. H. RODDA and ANNIE, daughter of Edward Northey—both of
Grass Valley.
