188 JUNE 15, 1866 GRASS VALLEY UNION
a short time, and muster the Company in under the new military organization of the State. The Grass
Valley Union Brass Band was in attendance, and discoursed delicious music during the evening. The
Company intended to have called upon and serenaded the General, but he had accepted an invitation
to accompany Major Bean to Nevada [City], for which place they started immediately after leaving
the armory. . . . Being strictly a business meeting, the boys did not indulge in champagne or other
refreshments.
SAD ACCIDENT. A shocking accident occurred at Moore’s Flat, about one o’clock Tuesday
afternoon, resulting in the death of a little son of Robert McLean. The child was playing
about the reservoir of the St. Lawrence hydraulic claims, and by some accident fell in and
was sucked into the pipe leading to the bottom of the diggings. The pipe, it appears, had a
large aperture at the head and gradually decreases in size as it approaches the bottom, and of
course the child lodged somewhere midway in the pipe which had to be cut open to get him
out. As might be supposed, the body was terribly mangled. The child was a bright little fellow,
between five and six years of age, and his parents are nearly distracted with his sad fate.
FOUNTAIN SODA.—During these very warm days we know of no more healthy or refreshing
drink than a glass of that delicious soda to be obtained at the drug store of Messrs. Smith and Ross, on
Mill street. The firm have gone to considerable expense in fitting up their handsome fountain, and we
consider it a great public convenience. The soda flows from the fountain iced, and when sweetened with
some of the exquisite syrup prepared expressly for that purpose, makes an excellent drink. The price is
merely nominal, being only twelve and a half cents per glass, and it is far ahead of any other temperance
beverage. As you go by the drug store, just step in and try the soda and you will be convinced that what
we Say is strictly so.
DISTRICT COURT.—In the case of Jennings vs. Smart et al., Judge McFarland overruled the
demurrer and gave defendants five days to answer. The Court adjourned until to morrow at ten o’clock.
YOSEMITE.—The Mariposa Gazette of the 9th instant says:
“There seems to be a mania for visiting the Yosemite this year, and already there has
been about as many there as the average of any of the past five seasons. Parties go with beds,
provisions, and even servants, and cooking stoves. The most extensive arrangement, however,
is by a party on their way. Three barrels of liquor have been received here, sent to the care
of a business man of the town, all for a party that evidently intends having a good time, and
calculates on passing the season in the valley. The trails are now in fine condition, the snows
are melted away, and the trip is really one of pleasure. There will be much travel that way this
season, and those who go will have no reason to regret the time consumed in making the trip.”
FENIAN NEWS.—The late Fenian dispatch is looked upon in San Francisco as of very doubtful;
authenticity. The following additional dispatches were received Thursday afternoon:
NEW YORK, June 9th
To John Hamil: We mean fight; now send us every dollar you can. Don’t believe the lying
reports of the newspapers. W. B. ROBERTS, Pres’t F. B.
NEW YORK, June 9th.
To John Hamil: God bless your noble efforts in our glorious cause. Our troops are doing
their work, and notwithstanding a few arrests everything goes well. Give the accompanying
