136 JUNE 8, 1872 GRASS VALLEY UNION
attending physician, F. Buelow, for the purpose of procuring an abortion. All of which we duly certify
by this inquisition, in writing by us signed this 6th day of June, 1872....
ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF AN OLD GRASS VALLEYAN.—A letter received here yesterday from
Ned McSorley informs us that on the 5th instant, at Eureka, Nevada, William Fitzgerald
was instantly killed. The accident happened at the Adams Hill mine. Fitzgerald came
up our of the mine, on the cage, and in making the landing on the surface he missed his
footing and fell down the shaft, from the bottom of which his body was taken. Deceased
formerly worked in the Allison Ranch mine of this place.
MRS. ALDERSEY’S SCHOOL EXHIBITION.—The annual exhibition of Gold Hill Seminary,
conducted by Mrs. Aldersey, was had on Thursday evening last, at Hamilton Hall, in presence of
an audience of three hundred and fifty persons. The majority of children attending this school are
quite young, and a disturbance, which continued through the first third of the performance, caused
by the bad behavior of some naughty boys, so confused the younger pupils, as to make a change of
programme necessary, and musical performance took the places of many recitations, declamations,
and of several dialogues and tableaux.
The same pieces and dialogues and other scenes were presented, that were given when we were
children. The girls blooming and blushing, and with their innocent smiles seemed playing sad havoc
with the susceptible young hearts in shirt collars and trowsers [sic]. Many of the children seemed as
much mortified and disappointed as their teacher, that each could not “say his piece.”
But to the audience, the music doubtless gave better entertainment than might have been
rendered by a strict following of the programme. For the music was really excellent, whether by
children of five, or Misses of fifteen. We dare not name one performance, nor one pupil without
calling attention to all, and space does not admit. The recitations and declamations were rendered
correctly, and in as true a spirit as could be expected from the ages of the several pupils. The
dialogues were well up in spirit, and gave much real enjoyment to the audience, while the actors
themselves evidently enjoyed themselves as well as any.
At the piano some pupils executed practice correctly, which seemed beyond their years; and
three or four young ladies, who had attained their entire musical knowledge under Mrs. Aldersey’s
tuition, equaled in their performances any amateurs we have heard for years. The “Musical Jewel”
of the evening was a song by two quite young girls, assisted in the chorus by Miss Behrisch, and Miss
Montez, “Leaf by Leaf.” Two spectacular tragedies were well done, and unusually artistic for country
amateurs.
LOCAL BREVITIES.—Episcopal services will be held at Emmanuel Church Sunday mornings
instead of evenings. Seats free.
The Cosmopolitan Pic-nic takes place to-morrow at Ismert’s Grove, half-way between this place
and Nevada city. Splendid music by the band, good order and lots of amusements will be the
programme. J. J. Rogers, of Nevada city, will supply the eatables and his restaurant will be
splendid.
Dr. Buelow is held on two charges namely: Murder, and an attempt to commit abortion. In
the first case the bail was fixed at $6,000, and in the latter $3,000. He gave bonds and was
discharged.
We give much space to the testimony before the Coroner in the Nevada city abortion case. We
are indebted to the Transcript for the report. The details of the affair are sickening, anda
grand moral can be deduced from them.
B. Johnson, the furniture man is about to get up some cheap ice chests for family use, which
will save ice and cost but little. ...
