120 MAY 23 & 24, 1872 GRASS VALLEY UNION
GOLD DUST LOST AND FOUND.—The Transcript of yesterday says:
A few days ago, Mr. Dickinson, Superintendent at the Black & Young mine, at Graniteville,
started from the latter place, on horseback, to the mill, a distance of two miles, with his
pockets filled with packages of gold dust. On reaching his office he discovered that one of the
packages, valued at about $300, was missing. He immediately walked over the same route he
had come, and when in front of Bohannan’s saloon, he found the lost gold dust in the street.
When he picked it up there were almost a dozen men sitting in front of the saloon, and he
quietly informed them he had at last found a town that contained honest men.
SENTENCED.—James Brady, tried and convicted of burglary at the present term of the County
Court, was yesterday sentenced to the penitentiary for the period of six years. He will not have a
chance to be so handy with his burglary tools down at San Quentin.
INSANE.—Mrs. [Sarah] Thomas, of Grass Valley, has been examined before the County Judge,
by a commission, and has been declared to be insane. The Judge gave an order for her commitment
to the Insane Asylum at Stockton.
LOCAL BREVITIES.—The Truckee Republican thinks that teachers should not be required
to write good English for the newspapers; that good English squelches genius. The Republican
wants the rough diamonds as well as the polished. We agree, and only ask that the rough thing bea
diamond.
FOURTH OF JULY MEETING.—At a meeting of the citizens of Nevada city, held at the Court
House, on Monday evening, for the purpose of making arrangements for celebrating the coming
Anniversary, Hon. Niles [Searls] was elected President and J. J. Rogers Secretary. The following
named gentlemen were authorized to make all necessary arrangements: Ira A. Eaton, A. H. Hanson,
A. B. Carley, N. P. Brown, J. J. Rogers, Jonathan Clark, A. Goldsmith, Wm. M. Bailey, Niles [Searls],
C. T. Canfield, W. R. Coe, C. Beckman, C. W. Cornell, G. v. Schmittburg, A. W. Potter, Wm. Wickes.
MASONIC EXCURSION.—The Truckee Republican says: “The Masonic fraternity of Stockton
have made arrangements to visit Truckee, Lakes Tahoe and Donner on St. John’s Day, June 24th. The
excursionists expect to remain two days in this vicinity, and we doubt not they will have a splendid time.
FRIDAY, MAY 24, 1872
DIED. At Boston Ravine, May 22d, 1872, MARTIN ANDREW, only son of Jeremiah and Bridget
Sullivan, aged 2 years, 3 months and 20 days.
BIG BLAST.—The Nevada Transcript of the 23d says: “Yesterday morning, between 8 and 9
oclock, a tremendous blast was discharged at Dutch Flat. J. A. Dodge, one of the spectators, informs
us that some 500 people collected to witness the blast. A charge of 2,800 pounds of giant powder
was used. It was placed in a tunnel sixty feet in length, and shook up some twenty acres of surface.
The town of Dutch Flat was shaken as if by an earthquake.”
CRYSTAL PALACE CIRCUS.—This circus, the first in the field for 1872, will exhibit in Grass
Valley, on Wednesday, May 29th. It is new in equestrians, gymnasts, jugglers, pavilion, wardrobes,
trained steed, and all the appointments that go to make up a complete and popular circus. The
troupe has two excellent clowns, and several lady equestriennes, who are distinguished for their
graceful and daring feats, besides a splendid corps of male equestrians, all new to this coast.
The performing dogs, monkies [sic] and ponies, are an attractive and comical feature of the
entertainment. An extraordinary novelty is the Cynocephalus, an animal which surpasses any
human rider in daring acts of equestation. Admission $1; children under ten years of age, half-price.
