WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1865
“HONEST ANCE.”—Robert Watt of Allison Ranch has sold this noted trotting horse to J. L. Eoff
of San Francisco.
SLEIGHING.—The merry jingle of sleigh-bells was heard in our streets yesterday morning, but the
genial rays of the sun made short work of the sport. Before night the planks were bare.
GOOD PAY.—The editor of the Grass Valley Union has seen a gold bar weighing 200 ounces, the
product of five days crushing of quartz from the Potosi mine on Gold Flat, near this city. This company
has cleaned up 500 ounces within the last two weeks.
ANOTHER STRIKE.—Mr. A. G. Pier showed us yesterday a fine specimen of auriferous quartz,
taken from a ledge discovered a day or two since within the corporation limits. We were not informed
of the precise locality of the ledge, as the proprietors desire to keep it secret for the present. They will
commence work upon it in a day or two.
COUNTY COURT.—HON. A. C. NILES PRESIDING—FEBRUARY TERM.—The Court met yesterday
morning when the following business was transacted:
J. F. Drake vs. his creditors—Ordered that plaintiff be discharged from his liabilities.
The People vs. Donahoe—Cause tried and submitted.
INCOME TAX LIST.—The Grass Valley Union declines to publish the Income Tax List of this
county. When it came to be examined its revelations were so startling that our cotemporary wisely
concluded to drop the subject rather than incur the hostility of an almost entire community by exposing
the “mistakes” of some of our prominent citizens in returning their incomes to the Assessor.
PROBABLE DEPARTURE.—Rev. H. Cummings, who has been for some years pastor of the
Congregational Church in this city, and by his untiring zeal and energy has done much toward building
up the Society and advancing its material as well as spiritual prosperity, informs us that he expects to
deliver his valedictory discourse on Sunday, March 4th. His engagement with his congregation will
terminate at that time, and he does not think it probable that it will be renewed. Mr. Cummings has been
a faithful laborer in the moral vineyard here, and we shall be sorry to lose his ministrations.
A SINGULAR SPECTACLE.—Passing by the corner of Broad and Pine streets yesterday, we
witnessed a sight at once curious and comical. An aged and wrinkled digger, accompanied by a squaw
with her head liberally tarred and stooping under a heavy load of garbage and offal from the butchershops and green groceries, passed by. Their appearance excited the mirth of a pair of intensely Mongolian
Chinamen, who laughed, chatted and gesticulated violently about the diggers, while an American citizen
of African descent, leaning against a post, regarded the Chinamen with a look and smile of indescribable
amusement. A group of Germans, Frenchmen, Irishmen and Yankees, gathered in the vicinity, surveyed
this scene with merriment and curiosity.
