NEVADA GAZETTE DECEMBER 28, 29, 30, 1865 605
on the 17th January, and we hope that measures will be taken in Nevada, as one of the leading mining
counties in the State, to be properly represented in that body... .
ORPHAN ASYLUM FAIR.—The Fair at Grass Valley, for the benefit of the Orphan Asylum, opens
to-day at the Asylum building. We understand the hall has been handsomely decorated for the occasion,
and a large and brilliant display of articles will be made. The Fair will continue three days, and we hope
that all our citizens who go to Grass Valley during the time will make it a point to attend. .. .
SUPERVISOR.—Full returns of the election held on the 18th instant, for Supervisor of the Third
District, give J. B. Johnson a majority of fifty-one votes over A. L. Woodruff, the nominee of the Union
Committee of the district. Johnson was a member of the first Board of Supervisors elected in Nevada
county, is a man of good judgment, well posted on the affairs of the county, and will make an excellent
officer.
DANGEROUSLY INJURED.—A man named Northee, while walking along Mill street, Grass
Valley, about a week ago, fell violently upon the sidewalk, where the planks had been taken up, and was
seriously injured. He has suffered much from his injury and is now in danger of losing his life.
FIRE.—A house occupied by a colored woman, on Washington street, Grass Valley, caught fire on
Monday morning last, but it was extinguised [sic] without damage. It was occasioned by the stove pipe
coming apart at one of the joints and fireing [sic] the ceiling.
PERSONAL.—Among the passengers on the last steamer from the East was I. N. Dawley, an old
resident of Nevada, but who has been absent in New York for the past year of more.
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1865
MARRIED. At Moore’s Flat, December 27th, by J. W. Coleman, J.P., Mr. JOHN PATTISON and Miss
J. J. IKLER.
ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE.—John Grimes and Watkins have been detected in a second attempt to
escape from the jail at Austin [Nevada]. Additional precautions have been taken by the Sheriff to prevent
their escape.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1865
BROKEN UP.—We are informed that the Fenian Circle, organized in Nevada some months ago, has
recently been broken up—the Circle having adjourned sine die on Saturday last. We have not been able to
learn the cause of the disbanding of the Circle; in fact, the members themselves profess ignorance on the
subject. A number of the members have sent money to Colonel O’Mahony, to be invested in the bonds of
the Irish Republic, and it is probable the difficulties in the Order at the East have extended to the branch
circle here.
NEW YEAR’S PRESENTS.—E. F. Spence, druggist, Broad street, gives notice in to-day’s paper,
that he will present every one, irrespective of color, who will take the trouble to call, with a beautifully
illustrated almanac. It may be well for those who call on Mr. Spence for this really useful article to
