GRASS VALLEY UNION JUNE 28, 1866 201
and all the other modern inventions for protection against fire, such an officer is surely much needed.
There is more danger of Grass Valley being laid in ashes from somebody’s defective stove-pipe than any
other cause we know of. Let a Fire Marshal be appointed and liberally paid, whose duty it shall be that
people take proper precautions to guard against fire.
FINE CATTLE.—A large drove of very handsome cattle, comprising milch cows and calves, passed
through Mill street, yesterday afternoon from Penn Valley. Their destination is Meadow Lake, or Summit
City, and they are doubtless the property of some humanitarian who is going to entertain the good people
of the Summit with unadulterated milk and good veal. While passing through the streets, the bellowings
of the calves and the responses from the old cows reminded one forcibly of the opera of Lucretia Borgia,
and had we not seen the animals we should have been led into the belief that some itinerant opera troupe
had actually condescended to visit Grass Valley. We have no ear for music.
LECTURE TO-NIGHT.—Hon. John Swett will deliver a lecture in the Methodist Church, at
Nevada, this evening, on “The Duty of Parents and Citizens generally in relation to Public Schools
[sic].’ Nobody knows better how to handle this subject than Mr. Swett. A teacher of many years practical
experience, he will lay matters so plain to the parents in this vicinity, that they cannot but understand and
appreciate the duty they owe to our educational institutions. We should like to have some of the parents
of Grass Valley go up to Nevada and hear the lecture; feeling assured that if they do they will hereafter
devote a little more of their time in occasional visits to the school room. The lecture will be free to all.
A. S. BARLOW.—Mr. Barlow was rather unfortunate yesterday, meeting with a serious accident.
While riding in the vicinity of Rough and Ready, he was thrown from his horse and received a severe
gash on the left side of the head. He was found lying on the side of the road in an insensible condition and
brought to town by a teamster. Dr. T. R. Kibbe dressed the wound, and Mr. Barlow is doing as well as can
be expected. It is not known whether he was going to or returning from Rough and Ready.
HANDSOME SHADES.—Johnston and Co. have just received some very handsome paper shades
for parlor lamps. These are the prettiest things of the kind that have ever been brought to this section of
country. They are embellished with very handsome scenes, embracing domestic, religious and ludicrous.
Every one who uses a lamp in the parlor should purchase one of these shades.
Cosmopolitan Circus
Lee & Ryland.......... cece eee eeeeeeeeeee ese Managers.
John R. Marshal... eee eeeeeeeeeees Preasurer.
This mammouth [sic] Establishment will give a Grand Performance in GRASS VALLEY, on
Monday & Tuesday, July 2 & 3,
Messrs. LEE & RYLAND have much pleasure in announcing that they have secured
(by permission of T. Maguire, Esq.) the services of
HARRY JACKSON,
The celebrated Comedian and Mimic, who will appear as
Shakespearean Jester & Clown,
And give his Wonderful Imitations; also, his impersonations of the Dwarf French Lady, Trumpet Solos, etc.
The press have pronounced him a fellow of Infinite Jest and Excellency. A hit; a palpable hit.
“Harry Jackson makes an excellent Clown, being witty without vulgarity, and clever in the general
acceptance of the term.—Sac. Bee.
“A new feature of the entertainment was the appearance of Harry Jackson, the Comedian, as Clown. We
award Jackson the credit of being an unusually fresh jester, with a good stock of stories, witticisms, apt quotations
and practical jokes. His imitations of Kean, Headman, and Forest, were close and amusing; acknowledged by the
