198 SEPTEMBER 3, 1872 GRASS VALLEY UNION
Campbell, at Power’s saloon. It contained Mr. F.’s clothing and a memorandum book.
Having been a Justice of the Peace at Grass Valley, accounts due him there are assigned
to M. Fitzgerald. Funston and father formerly kept a store at Nevada City. The supposed
suicide also held at one time the office of City Treasurer. Mrs. Funston is at present
residing at Petterson’s Station on the Folsom Railroad.”
DEAD.—The man Hall, who has a brother residing in Nevada county who we noticed in our last
issue as lying sick and suffering in Marysville and would not be suffered by the authorities
of that city to be taken to the hospital, because he was a resident of Sutter county, was
removed by the Sutter county authorities to the Sutter county hospital, but died on the
night of his removal thither. The Standard of yesterday morning says: “Unquestionably a
little care and proper medicine would have saved the life of the stranger.” “I was a stranger
and ye took me in; sick and ye visited me,” will not be the encomium passed upon the
Marysville officials in the Great Day, as far as their treatment of the unfortunate Hall is
concerned.
LOCAL BREVITIES.—Edith O’Gorman, the great escaped, has gone down into Butte county, to
swap the abuse of her former religion for coin. She is making it pay.
Col. Len. P. Dorsey, of the Nevada Gazette, with a handsome and smiling face, looked in upon
us yesterday. His moustache is responding well to a careful culture.
The regular “we” of this paper has arrived at home from Frisco, but work does not suit him well
at present. [Rufus] came up on Saturday along with Nat. Brown and a bottle of cocktails, but
he swears he will not tell on Nat. for fear of a trial in the Good Templars’ Lodge.
PROFESSOR HENNING OF THE HIGH SCHOOL.—The San Jose Argus speaks as follows of
Prof. Henning who is to teach the Grass Valley High School: “Prof. Irving Henning, who, during the
past year has occupied the chair of Ancient Languages in the University of the Pacific has resigned
the position to accept the position of Principal in the High School at Grass Valley. Mr. Henning was
graduated at the University of the Pacific and is an accomplished scholar. He has also had much
experience and gained a high reputation as a teacher in the public schools, and we hazard nothing in
predicting that he will give full satisfaction to the people of Grass Valley. We take especial pleasure in
commending him to the confidence of our friends in Grass Valley.”
POWER PRESS AND PROSPERITY.—Messrs. Brown & Deal, proprietors of the Nevada
Transcript, have purchased in San Francisco a power press on which their paper will soon be
printed. This evidence of prosperity is gratifying to all the friends of the firm and of the paper
they publish. The press will be running within a few weeks. We have concluded not to follow suit
but to go one better and Lakenan, the celebrated machinist of this place, is looking around with
a view of building us a number of presses and engines, in order that our increasing business may
be accomplished. While Lakenan is figuring on the iron work we propose to get on a big head of
editorial steam, so that wisdom and facts will be ready to be given by the new machinery. This is an
age of steam and revolving wheels and the people should build that narrow gauge railroad in order
to keep up with the newspaper enterprises of the county. Times are not dull though people have
growled themselves into the belief that such is a fact. Newspapers run by steam and travel by steam
are soon to be the rule in Nevada county. The county is not dead, although we confess that it is ina
pretty deep sleep.
STREET.—A petition is being circulated and signed by all property holders interested, asking
the Town Trustees to repeal the ordinance which requires certain portions of Mill and Main streets
to be planked. The idea seems to be that the planks should be removed and stone be laid down.
The stone will be cheaper and much better in every way. Every one should sign that little petition,
