304 OCTOBER 19 & 20, 1867 GRASS VALLEY UNION ABOUT ten miles of the Central Pacific Railroad, in the most exposed places within the snow belt, has been roofed in, and all the cuts will be covered. SUNDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1867 GO TO CHURCH.—Arfter perusing the UNION this morning and congratulating yourself on the fact that you stand financially well with our carrier, take your breakfast—ignoring the [matutinal] cocktail— and then go to church. “Poor people have poor ways,” and tastes are diversified even in the matter of attending church. Some prefer one church, and others prefer another, but as for us, give us the man who will attend any church on Sunday. The election is over... . Lay aside soreheadedness to-day; buckle on your christian armor for one round against the Evil One; sink the shop and business for the occasion, and go to church to-day, and the word of an old church-goer for it, you will be the better for taking our advice. SLIGHT CORRECTION.—... We yesterday said, in substance, that Hamilton, of the Telegraph Stage Co., had put on an evening coach from Colfax to Grass Valley and Nevada, to accommodate up country passengers on the evening train from Sacramento. The arrangement, we are informed, is but a temporary one, the evening coach running for the accommodation of passengers detained at Sacramento by the non-arrival of the San Francisco in the morning. However, the evening coach from Colfax will make its trips until the hog’s back either goes down or the Sacramento river comes up. CHILD HOOKED BY A COW.—Vertner Maslin, son of E. W. Maslin, of this place, was hooked by Mr. M’s cow on last Friday evening, one of the animal’s horns entering the little fellow’s cheek, and making an ugly and painful wound. Vertner was feeding the cow, and standing near her head, when she raised one of her horns, striking the child in the face. The animal is quite MORE ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING.—A boy named George Emmons was yesterday accidentally shot by another boy named Mallie Stone, while both boys were gunning out in the vicinity of Warner’s ranch. An owl flew by, and young Stone fired at it with his shot gun, and a portion of the charge lodged in the body of young Emmons, who was distant from the other boy about sixty yards, and was unseen by Mallie when he discharged his gun. Emmons’ breast and arms and the lower portion of his face were pretty well filled with bird shot, but fortunately the charge did not enter far beyond the skin. Last evening we saw Dr. Tompkins extracting the shot from the boy, who bore his pain with true heroism. The accident was such a one as might have occurred were the parties grown men, and Mallie appears to be blameless in the matter. However, we can not but think that parents ought to be more careful about permitting their children to use firearms. Within the last few months no fewer than four boys have been accidentally shot in the vicinity of Grass Valley, while gunning.
