NEVADA GAZETTE JANUARY 25, 26, 27, 1866 17
SADDLE TRAIN.—A saddle train left here yesterday morning for North San Juan, carrying the
mails and passengers. The train will run regularly hereafter, until the road becomes passable for wagons.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 26, 1866
MARRIED. In Grass Valley, January 23d, by Rev. C. H. Northup, C. S. WELLS, of the Grass Valley
National Printing Company, and KATIE H. PERRY, of Grass Valley.
BORN. In this city, January 25th, to the wife of Richard Kelsey—a daughter.
DIED. In this city, January 24th, SOPHIE, daughter of Mrs. Sarah R. Staats, aged 6 years, 9 months
and 21 days.
FUNERAL.—The remains of the little daughter of Mrs. Staats, who died on Tuesday night, were
taken to Grass Valley yesterday, for burial.
WATER BOUND.—Messtrs. Cashin & Davis, who have a ranch on the other side of the Yuba,
where they keep their stock for slaughtering to supply this market, went down a few days ago for cattle
and sheep, They succeeded in getting out about thirty head of cattle, but were not able to get any sheep,
and the consequence is that very little mutton is to be had in the market at the present time. The cattle,
sheep, and other animals are now on an island, surrounded on every side by water.
PLEASANT DAY.—Yesterday being the first pleasant day we have had for some time, people were
prepared to enjoy it. The sun was shining bright and beautiful all day, drying the streets and sidewalks,
and giving the town a cheerful look.
SATURDAY, JANUARY 27, 1866
ANOTHER PARTY.—Mrs. Daugherty, who gave the party at Temperance Hall on last Thursday
evening, was so well pleased at the success of her first effort in this line in Nevada, has concluded
to give another party on Monday evening next, at the same place. In order that all—however limited
their means—may have an opportunity of attending and enjoying a pleasant dance and partaking of an
excellent supper, the price as been reduced to one dollar. Several excellent musicians from Grass Valley
and this place have volunteered their services, and we trust our ball goers will turn out in sufficient
numbers to handsomely remunerate the lady for the trouble and expense she has undergone for their
pleasure.
DIVORCE CASE.—The divorce case of Mrs. Margaret Vanness La Morde against Louis Vanness
La Morde, has been referred to Justice O’Connor to take testimony, and the trial has been in progress
for a day or two past. The National says it is likely that the testimony will be very voluminous. Mrs.
La Morde is a brunette, with a keen black eye and well-shaped mouth, and she is rather a portly dame,
of about thirty-five, or perhaps more. Lewis [sic] is a tall, thick heavy looking fellow, who seems more
soggy than criminal or wicked. His wife seems to be the smarter man of the two, and will probably gain
her case.
STAGING TO NORTH SAN JUAN.—Wnm. H. Davidson, agent of the stage company, dispatched
a light two-horse wagon to North San Juan yesterday, with the mail, the roads having been repaired
sufficiently to admit the passage of such vehicles. There are still some bad places on the grades at the
