GRASS VALLEY UNION JANUARY 10-12, 1871 5
RAIN.—We have the pleasure to announce that the rain began to fall yesterday afternoon,
and that the ground was wet thereby. At the time of going to press the wind and the clouds were
promising to keep up their lick. The miners began to smile as soon as the first drop fell.
HON. S. T. OATES.—The San Juan North people invited Hon. S. T. Oates to address them on the
subject of education last Friday evening. The address given was the one delivered at Grass Valley a
few months ago, and it was, of course, eloquently good. We hear that Mr. Oates will make a lecturing
tour in Sierra county, and that the people of our neighboring county will have an opportunity to
enjoy a fest of fat things. As a lecturer, Mr. Oates has no superior.

DEATH.—Michael Cahill, a very remarkable and worth [sic] young man, well known at this
place and Nevada City, died at Birchville last Monday. His funeral will take place to-day at San Juan,
and several friends will go from here to show the respect they entertain for the good qualities the
deceased possessed.
LYCEUM.—tThe Grass Valley Lyceum will hold its meeting on Friday evening, the 13th last. Mr.
Wm. George will read an essay, and Miss Sarah Patterson will deliver a declamation. The question
for debate will be the following: Resolved, That the ease with which divorces are procurable in the
United States, is prejudicial to public morality. The affirmative will be supported by Messrs. Loyd
and Holmes; the negative by Messrs. Leggett and Gillis.
RAINFALL.—The fall of rain, at Grass Valley for the 24 hours ending yesterday morning at 9
o'clock was 1:48 inches. This is the first rain which has fallen here since the 14th of last December, an
unusually long dry spell for the Winter season of the year. Dr. Kibbe’s correct gauge is the measurer
of the rainfalls at Grass Valley.
PROTRACTED MEETING.—The Transcript says: “The Methodists commenced holding a
protracted meeting at their Church, in this city, Monday, to last ten days. In the morning at ten
oclock religious exercises will be had, and services will be held in the evening at 7 o'clock.”

CHARITY.—We mentioned a few days ago that there is a suffering and a sick family on Deer
Creek, not far from this town. A few hours after our paper was circulated a lady called upon us to
ascertain the particulars of the case. These were given and the lady said she would walk down and
see the family, and relieve their distress. The weather was bad and the roads were muddy, and we
suggested to her that she had better ride. The distance is some four miles. She persisted in walking
because she wanted to give the money that she would have to pay for a conveyance to the family. We
suggested that our livery men would not charge her for a conveyance on such an errand. “Then let
the livery stable men give me, for the family, what they would ordinarily charge,” was the reply and
