2 JANUARY 3, 4. 5, 1866 NEVADA GAZETTE
yards distant, and breaking a hole through the roof lodged upon the ceiling. The gun was purchased by
Davis several years ago, and had been used considerably before he bought it. It was used here all through
the war to fire salutes, Davis having fired it himself about two thousand times. That amount of use is
sufficient to condemn a gun in the regular service. It is fortunate that it burst without injuring anyone.
DUTCH FLAT.—We learn from J. S. Tam, expressman, that numerous thieves are now prowling
about Dutch Flat. On Sunday night last, several rooms in the Dutch Flat Hotel which had been left
unlocked, were entered and robbed of clothing and other articles belonging to the lodgers. On New
Year’s Day, the saloon of Frank Powson, on Main street, took fire from a defective stove pipe, and was
considerably damaged before the fire could be extinguished.
THE BALL AT TEMPERANCE HALL.—The ball given by Mrs. Blum, at Temperance Hall,
on New Year’s evening, was largely attended, and was a decided success in every particular. We learn
that an even hundred tickets were sold, and two hundred and eight persons sat down to an excellent
supper provided by the hostess. Many of those present did not dance, but all enjoyed themselves, and the
festivities were kept up until a late hour.
COLORED FESTIVAL.—The colored people of Nevada held a festival at the Theater, on New
Years evening, in commemoration of the third anniversary of the emancipation proclamation; also, to
raise funds to pay the debts on their church. The festival was quite largely attended both by whites and
blacks, and we learn that $213 20 was realized over the expenses. This will about clear their church of
debt.

MAIL STEAMER ARRIVED.—The mail steamer Golden City arrived at San Francisco Tuesday
evening, from Panama. She brought two hundred and thirty-six passengers and one hundred and thirtyone packages of mail. She brings intelligence from Acapulco that the Saginaw and one French steamer
were at that port. The French were dying rapidly of fever, and were so closely besieged by Alvarez’s men
that they dared not carry lanterns at night in the streets for fear of being shot by them. They expect orders
to evacuate immediately.
THE Eastern Slope is the name of a new weekly paper, published in Washoe City, Nevada—J. C.
Lewis, editor. It is independent in politics.
PERSONAL.—Mr. John Emory, a former resident of this place, but now of Austin, Nevada State,
arrive in town yesterday, direct from the latter place. He reports the times as quite lively at Austin.
ENLARGING.— Saxby & Lancaster have commenced building an addition to their livery stable, on
Broad street. The addition will be erected on the upper side of the present stable, have an office in front,
with a row of stalls in the rear.

GOOD TEMPLAR.—Mr. Upton, an officer of the Grand Lodge of Good Templars is in town,
and some of our temperance citizens are endeavoring to establish a branch lodge in Nevada. A paper,
containing signatures for charter members, was circulated yesterday. At the present time we believe there
is no temperance society in town.
