GRASS VALLEY UNION JANUARY 13 & 14, 1872 11
DANCING SCHOOL.—Mr. Millington advertises to teach a dancing school at Grass Valley.
He is an accomplished teacher and a most worthy and pleasant gentleman. Parents who wish their
children taught the graceful and necessary accomplishment of dancing, will do well to patronize Mr.
Millington’s school.
BUSINESS CHANGE.—L. Zacharias who has been for a long time clerk of Michael's [liquor and
tobacco] store, has purchased the business, and will hereafter conduct that well known and popular
establishment in his own name. Zach is a popular gentleman and will be congratulated by all his
friends in his becoming a proprietor.
BANNER MINE.~—Since the storm commenced, says the Nevada Transcript, it has been
difficult to keep the Banner mine clear of water. They have two pumps, one ten-inch and [one]
twelve-inch, running to their full capacity, and still the water gains on them. For several days, when
the storm abated, the water was reduced at the rate of four feet per day; but the present heavy storm
has given them more water than the pumps could raise. The water drove the workmen out of the
600-foot level and then reached the 400-foot level. After the storm subsides, if that event takes
place, it will not take long to free the mine from water.
SUNDAY, JANUARY 14, 1872
BORN. At Grass Valley, January 13th, 1872, to WILLIAM J. ALLEN and Wife, a Daughter.
FENCE LAW.
We have discussed the fence law business heretofore, and have given some good reasons, in a
general way, why no fences should prevail. Yesterday a meeting took place in this place, to discuss
the question, and the meeting was unanimously in favor of the present system of fences. Farmers
came from the vicinity of Grass Valley and from Rough & Ready township, and these are in favor of
the fence system now in use. We are informed by these gentlemen that the farmers of the county are
almost unanimously in favor of the fence law remaining as it is in this county. As the farmers are
the ones who are interested, and as the presumption is that they know their own interests, we only
say that their wishes in this matter should be entirely respected. We are satisfied that the delegation
from this county in the Legislature will heed the remonstrance which is to be sent down. While we
are opposed, on general principles, to the fence system, we are willing to say, after hearing the ideas
of the farmers, that Nevada county occupies an exceptional position.
BAR ROOM LECTURE.—Friday night Miss Garrison lectured in the billiard and bar room of
the Wisconsin Hotel. The proprietors of the hotel had everything arranged for the lecture. There
were texts hanging up all around. These texts call for sobriety and for virtuous lives. The audience
was large and respectful. Miss Garrison gave a good lecture, and she was evidently very earnest.
Most of the old sinners around appear a little awakened; it was the first time they had heard
preaching for many years.
SCHOOL MATTERS.—The Transcript says: “T. B. White, teacher of the Grammar school in
this city, has tendered his resignation to the Board of Trustees, to take effect on the ist of February.
Mr. White has accepted a position at Austin, Nevada. B. J. Watson, of Forest Springs, County
Superintendent of Schools elect, has been tendered the position vacated by Mr. White by the School
Trustees.”
DANCING SCHOOL.—Those who have joined, or those who want to join Dewey’s dancing class
will please meet at the Zouave Hall, on Tuesday evening next at 8 o’clock. At that time and place an
organization will take place, and the organization and arrangements can not but please all who are
fond of dancing, or who wish to learn the art.
