150 JUNE 23, 25, 26, 1872 GRASS VALLEY UNION
DIVORCE.—Judge [Reardon] in the District Court, in session at Nevada city, granted a divorce
a vinenta et matrimoni from W. J. Allen to Dora J. Allen, on the grounds of adultery and
illusage. The parties were married in Connecticut in 1867 and came to this place in 1870.
They have two children, the custody of which has been awarded to the mother.
NEWSPAPER REMOVAL.—The Weekly Ajax, a paper which has heretofore been published at
Lone Valley, which said Valley is a country place, is to be removed to Wheatland in Yuba county. The
Ajax is to be enlarged and improved and will be published as a tri-weekly.
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.—Rev. E. Halliday, of Nevada city, will preach in the
Congregational Church of Grass Valley, this morning and evening, at the usual hours.
TUESDAY, JUNE 25, 1872
DANIEL COLLINS.—This gentleman whose name heads this article left Grass Valley yesterday
for eastern Nevada. He has been a resident here for many years and has been engaged in mining all
the time. He has filled every position in mines from handling drill to Superintendent, and has done
his work thorough and well. He knows all about a mine and is energetic in the business. There is not
a lazy bone in his body. Dan is moreover one of the genial men that one likes to meet.
GONE AWAY.—Yesterday J. J. Dorsey, late County Assessor, went away from Grass Valley to go
into business at Eureka, in East Nevada. Mr. Dorsey has been a citizen of this town for many years,
and one of the right kind of citizens. We hope soon to see him return from sage brush land to remain
in Grass Valley.
WEDNESDAY, JUNE 26, 1872
FOUND DEAD.—Monday last Thos. Gershon was found dead near his home at Columbia Hill.
He had been missed for three days, and when found the body indicated that death had
taken place three days before. The deceased, probably, walked away from home and the
heart disease caused his death. Thomas Gershon was a well known and estimable citizen
of the county. He was a man of more than ordinary intelligence and enterprise. The news
of his decease caused much regret in Grass Valley, where he had many and very warm
friends.
LOCAL BREVITIES.—There is a family, at Boston Ravine, in straightened circumstances. A
mother and two children have nothing to eat in the house, and the husband and father has just been
sent to Stockton as insane. A mere mention of the case is sufficient.
THE BERGER FAMILY.—Hamilton Hall was filled to repletion last evening to enjoy the second
of the richest treats ever given in Grass Valley. The character of the entertainments given by the
ladies and gentlemen of the Berger Family, are beyond cavil, the most chaste and graceful we have
ever had the pleasure of spending an enjoyable hour in listening to, and the old saw, “laugh and
grow fat,” received additional force from the outward and inward manifestations of the happy and
joyous audience. Nothing to displease most fastidious is put forth by the family, while the solos of the
graceful Miss Anna on her golden cornet, the Cornet Quartette, by the Berger Sisters and Miss Nellie
E. Knapp (which fairly took down the brass-banders preset); the beautiful music of the merry bells,
and the accompaniments by the gentlemen on the harp, violin and flute, were such as seldom fill the
air of Hamilton, or any other Hall. And when we add to this the efforts of Mr. Sol. Smith Russell, in
his Woman’s Rights address, in strong-minded costume, his impersonation of character, and facial
delineations, we feel free to award the Berger family the full credit of giving us a treat which, like
