90 MARCH 26, 27, 28, 1867 GRASS VALLEY UNION
TEMPORARILY CLOSED.—Rev. C. H. Northup, who has had charge of the Pike’s Point Public
School, of this place, for sometime past, is now lying dangerously ill, in consequence of which the school
is closed for the present. Mr. Spencer, one of the School Trustees, informs us that another teacher from
below has been sent for, that he will arrive during the present week, and that the Pike’s Point School will
re-open on Monday next.
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 1867
THE MARTINETTI TROUPE.—This favorite troupe was announced to appear here on last
Monday, but, as our readers are aware, did not come. Bills had been sent up for pasting and all
arrangements made for their performance on the evening named when a dispatch was received stating
that the troupe could not come. Subsequently Mr. G. Hamilton received a letter explaining the cause. One
of the Martinetti brothers was taken very ill and had to be sent to San Francisco. It was necessary that
another portion of the troupe should go down with the sick man, and this left the company incomplete. In
this condition they did not wish to make the upcountry trip, preferring to come here at some future time
with a full force.
YOUNG MEN’S LIBRARY ASSOCIATION.—This institution, lately organized by a number of
the young men of Grass Valley, has for its object the moral and intellectual improvement of the young.
They propose to establish a Circulating Library, a Reading Room and a Lyceum. The intention is to
extend its benefits as much as possible, and for that reason all who feel an interest in the organization
are invited to its meetings, and if they feel so disposed, to become members. Meetings are held for the
present in the Vestry of the M. E. Church, and until a suitable room can be obtained in a more convenient
part of the town. The meetings are held on Monday evenings, commencing at half-past seven o’clock.
The expenses for next Monday evening will consist of Declamation, an Essay, and a discussion on the
following: “Resolved, That the Works of Nature are more admired than the Works of Art.” The ladies are
also invited to attend.
WITH US ONCE MORE.—Captain J. J. Doty, a former resident of Grass Valley, and at one time
Captain of the Grass Valley Union Guard, made his appearance yesterday among us, and he looked as
bright and as fresh as a newly coined piece from the Mint. Doty left here nearly two years since, taking
his family with him, and during the greater part of his time since has been engaged in business in the
interior of New York. He has a host of friends in Grass Valley, many of whom yesterday greeted him with
a hearty welcome to his old home.
“HOME AGAIN.”—E. F. Bean, of the Nevada Gazette, passed through Grass Valley yesterday en
route for his home. Bean has been in San Francisco for a few weeks past, is looking “healthy,: and says
his Directory of Nevada county is anxiously looked for by the Bay people, and that the San Franciscans
have an exalted opinion of Nevada county, all of which we were pleased to know.
NATURALIZED.—In the District Court, on Monday, the following persons were admitted to
citizenship: Francisco Agostino, Antonio Silva, Manuel G. Fernandez, Antonio J. Freza, Jozeferino
Teixeira, Manuel S. Avilla, Manuel Freitas and Jose Fereira.
