WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1866
THE WEATHER—RAINFALL.—After several days of stormy weather, the sun came out bright
and clear yesterday morning, and the indications are that the storm is at an end. The rainfall from Friday
night up to yesterday morning was 2.32 inches. Thus far, however, we have had less than the average
quantity of rain up to this time. We learn from Mr. Whartenby that the rain fall this season to the first
of January was 18,87 inches; last year, up to the same time, it amounted to 35.25 inches—a difference
of nearly one-half. Additional rain is needed for the benefit of hydraulic and placer miners and for the
farmers in the valley.
ALLISON RANCH CIRCLE.—tThe Fenian Circle at Allison Ranch, now number about one
hundred and thirty members, and is in a flourishing condition. The following officers have been
unanimously re-elected: Maurice Hartnett, Center; P. J. Cullen,Secretary; Phil Gallway, Treasurer.
Committee of Safety, James Butler, Thomas Sullivan, John Feeney, Charles Brady and David Fitzgerald.
SNOW.—A gentleman who came down from Skillman’s mill on Monday, reports that there was a
foot and a half of snow at that place, at ten o’clock that day. Yesterday morning, the hills around Nevada
were covered with snow, but the most of it melted off during the day. As the weather was quite cool
during the late storm, the snow must have fallen to a considerable depth on the ridges above.
ANOTHER ACCIDENT.—A young man named Richards was severely injured the other day, while
working in the Rocky Bar mine, at Grass Valley. While working in a drift, a mass of rock suddenly fell
from the roof immediately above where he stood, a large piece striking him on the foot, tearing the flesh
from the bone in a shocking manner, and otherwise bruising him.
DISTRICT COURT.—In the case of Joseph Martin against M. Zellerback [sic] and others,
yesterday, the Court ordered judgment to be entered for defendants, and on motion of plaintiff’s counsel
granted a stay of proceeding for twenty days. The Court adjourned until ten o’clock this morning.
BOILERS UPSET.—The boilers intended for Captain Lee’s mill, at Grass Valley, were upset on
Crandall’s road, last Saturday, near Bear river. One of them rolled down a canon about a hundred yards,
and the other is still lying in the road. It will require machinery to get them upon wheels again.
PROBATE COURT.—On Monday, the will of S. Abrahams was admitted to probate, and letters
testamentary issued to Anna Abrahams and Bernard Gad. The will of James H. Warren filed for probate,
and application to be heard January 20th.
