10 JANUARY 17 & 18, 1866 NEVADA GAZETTE
be known no more for ever. Not so, however, with the Fenian Exchange, on Pine street, kept by T. H.
Duggen. This institution still lives, and Mr. D. promises a faithful account of all funds deposited with
him for the benefit of the Fenian Exchange.
SLAUGHTERING HOGS.—Cashin & Davis are now engaged in slaughtering a large number of
corn-fed hogs at their slaughter yard on the Grass Valley road. They purpose putting down and curing
from 80,000 to 100,000 of bacon and hams for the supply of the Nevada and Grass Valley markets. They
are also putting up in cans a large quantity of lard.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, 1866
SIERRA ADVOCATE.—We have received the first number of a paper bearing the above title,
published at Downieville, by O. D. Clarke and John W. Dormer. It is published weekly, and is about the
size of the Gazette.
ANNA BISHOP.—Madam Anna Bishop and Charles Lascelles sailed for Honolulu on Saturday
last, on the steamer Ajax. The report that they were about to make another tour through the State is
consequently incorrect.
DIED. In this city, on Tuesday, January 16th, MARY ELLEN, infant daughter of Richard and Mary
Ann Dillon, aged three months and fourteen days.
DISMAL LODGINGS.—Yesterday morning, an individual who has been loafing about town for
some years, without any occupation in particular, was found sleeping in an old hearse belonging to W. C.
Groves, which had been left in Lancaster’s carriage house on Spring street. On several occasions of late,
it had been noticed that cushions and other articles had been taken from the carriages and were found
in the hearse, which was considered a great mystery by the boys about the stables. But the mystery was
cleared up on finding that the hearse had been used as a lodging room. It appears the fellow has been
sleeping in the hearse for several months. There was some talk of arresting him as a vagrant, but he
prudently took his departure from town.
DISTRICT COURT—DECEMBER TERM—HON.T. B. MCFARLAND PRESIDING.—This Court met
yesterday morning, when the following business was transacted:
Odgers et al. vs Hastings, et al—Findings filed and judgment for plaintiffs in accordance therewith.
Sigourney vs Powers & Zellerback [sic]—Demurrer to plaintiff’s complaint sustained, and twenty
days given plaintiff to amend.
J. H. Johnson admitted to practice as an attorney and counsellor at law.
Jones vs Topliff—On trial.
RAIN STORM.—A rain storm set in between twelve and one o’clock yesterday morning, preceded
by a heavy gale of wind. The rain continued to fall steadily all day yesterday. Deer creek was on the rise
last evening, caused partly by the rain and partly by the melting snow. According to the weather records
kept here, it must have been snowing during the day on the ridges above.
ACCIDENT.—F. Holtzman, the painter and artist, met with a painful accident at Grass Valley last
Saturday. He was standing on a small wooden box, in the Washington Market, painting above some meat
hooks, when the box gave way, and in falling he [was] caught by one of the hooks, which passed entirely
through his right hand, making an ugly and severe wound.
