100 APRIL 4, 1866 GRASS VALLEY UNION
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 4, 1866
ANOTHER RAILROAD.—The State bids fair very soon to be interlaced with railroads—a
fortunate thing for the people, if the money can be raised to start them. After lying dormant for many
years, the project for a railroad between Vallejo and Marysville has been revived, and Mr. Haskin, the
managing agent of the concern, who is now in Washington, writes from that city that capitalists view
the scheme with favor. The great depth of water at Vallejo gives that port an advantage which can not be
overlooked when a railroad is in contemplation.
ASSAULT AND BATTERY.—A case was before Judge Byrne on Monday, in which Mary Lewis
complained of Margarita Barbos for assaulting and battering her. It seems that Mary went to Margarita’s
house and got to calling her hard names. The woman with whom Margarita lived ordered Mary away, but
the latter refused to go and insisted upon entering the premises, still continuing her abuse of Margarita.
The senorita stood it as long as she could, but human nature can’t stand everything, and particularly
Spanish human nature, and upon Mary’s attempting to force an entrance into the house, Margarita’s
Spanish got the best of her judgment and she busted Mary in the snout. The law does not recognize any
justification for the commission of an assault, except in self-defense, and while the sympathy of the Court
was with the senorita in consequence of the provocation she had received, stern duty compelled his Honor
to adjudge the defendant guilty and order her to pay a fine of nineteen dollars. Margarita paid the fine,
remarking that she wished she had “thrashed Mary good.”
THEATRICAL.—The grand fairy spectacle entitled the “Naiad Queen,” was produced last night
to an excellent house, Mrs. Sedley Brown sustaining the character of Lurline, Miss Caroline Chapman
as Idex, Mrs. Judah the peculiar role of Bridget, and Mrs. Julia Gould as Flavia, Miss Gass Daphne, and
Miss Kate Archer Arundine. Mrs. Brown combines the accomplishment of an excellent singer with that
of being a fine actress. Mrs. Judah is so well known that no compliment is required at our hands. Mrs.
Julia Gould has lost none of that power of voice and correct knowledge of music that rendered her so
great a favorite among theatre goers in “days lang syne.” Miss Gass is a pains taking and correct actress,
while Miss Chapman is, as ever, good in every character she assumes. If the weather continues fair, the
visit of this troupe to our town cannot but be a great financial success. To-night the “Bronze Horse” will
be presented, with a powerful cast.
FUN FOR THE FOURTH.—Charlie Osborn, the invincible proprietor of the Glenbrook Park Track,
intends getting up a big programme of amusements for the approaching Fourth of July. He is making
arrangements to have a chariot race, hurdle race, and several trotting, pacing and running matches.
Charley says he is going to put in as many good things as can be crowded into one day’s amusement. The
probabilities are that on the coming Fourth we shall have two Irish volunteer military companies, well
uniformed and drilled, including one company from the Allison Ranch. If so, freedom’s next anniversary
will be a day of unusual magnificence in our mountain town.
A CARD.
Having noticed the correspondence between Davis and Johnston, I would simply say that I transacted the
business for them, and divided the money as I received it, between them. Johnston took the books away, fifteen
months ago, without my consent—at which time Davis had received about one hundred dollars more than Johnston,
but since Johnston took the books, I know of accounts which Johnston has collected, which would make him more
than equal with Davis, to the best of my knowledge. L. J. ROLAND.
