GRASS VALLEY UNION JUNE 15, 16, 19, 1866 189
telegraph to San Francisco papers. There is no such work as fail. All are determined to sacrifice
their lives till the work of Ireland’s redemption is accomplished. . EDWARD L. CAREY.
SATURDAY, JUNE 16, 1866
A YEAR OLD.—The San Francisco Examiner announces that it has completed its first year’s
existence, and is now a fixed institution of the State.
ONE of the largest refracting telescopes in the world is one just received at the Chicago University.
The length of the instrument is twenty-three feet, and the weight three tons; the diameter [of] the circles
are twenty-four and three inches, and the object glass is eighteen and a-half inches in diameter and
weighs one hundred pounds.
YESTERDAY’S DISPATCHES.
The Easter dispatches are meagre, and up to June 13th,
The Fenian invasion is not spoke of at all except that they continue to denounce the Administration,
the leaders charging that they had received every encouragement to proceed in their enterprise. General
Meade reports that forty thousand stand of arms, belonging to the Fenians, have been seized. These arms
were purchased of the Government. A strong demonstration of sympathy with the Irish cause was made
by men of all parties in the House of Representatives on the 11th.. .
BALLOON ASCENSION.—Justin Buislay, the celebrated aeronaut, will make two ascensions in
his balloon “Great Republic,” at Glenbrook Park on Tuesday and Wednesday next. These ascensions have
been attended with great success at San Francisco, thousands of people having witnessed them, Buislay
will also perform some wonderful gymnastic feats, suspended from a trapeze, while in mid air. The price
of admission has been fixed at fifty cents for adults and twenty-five cents for children. A large crowd will
doubtless be attracted to the Park.
THE FENIANS.—The disheartening effects of the news sent over the wires a day or two ago, are
passing off, and our Fenian friends are beginning to take courage again, owing to the fact that the heads
of the order have telegraphed to California that everything is going on as they intended. President Roberts
warns the Fenians here not to believe the newspaper reports, and we think his head is pretty clear on that
point. In order to carry a point against the President many of these papers will not hesitate to lie.
RENOVATING.—Ed. McSorley is busily engaged in thoroughly renovating and refitting his saloon
on Mill street, opposite our office. When completed it will be the handsomest place of its kind in town.
McSorley keeps nothing but the best qualities of liquors, hence his establishment enjoys a well-merited
prosperity. The probabilities are that the saloon, in its new glory, will be thrown open to the public this
evening.
A CARD.
THE UNDERSIGNED, lately attached to the U.S. Steamer “Lancaster,” having resigned his appointment
in the Navy, solicits employment in any honorable capacity. He is well acquainted with the Spanish and French
languages. Good references. Addressed M. J. Kelly, Exchange Hotel, Grass Valley.

KAOLIN.—A fine deposit of kaolin was recently discovered within about three miles of Virginia
City, State of Nevada. The deposit was about seven feet in thickness, and is said to be of superior quality.
Kaolin is the material from which porcelain and all the fine China wares are manufactured. It derives its
