building. All of her clothing, except what she had on, all her provisions, and in fact, everything she
had were swept away. We hear of private subscriptions being made for their benefit. This is right and
we know that our citizens generally will lend an aiding hand to the unfortunate family. The house
had been insured, but the insurance was allowed to run out some time ago.
LOCAL BREVITIES.—The Central Pacific freight train lost five hours on Thursday at Colfax in
waiting to convey the Circus which performed here on Wednesday night, to Sacramento.
Captain Day, formerly operating on an extension of the Eureka ledge here, and lately
Superintendent of the Meadow Valley mine, has been presented with a service of silver plate
costing $1500, by the miners and millmen of the company on his retiring from office.
Mr. Leavitt is proceeding rapidly with the building of the new bridge over Wolf creek on Auburn
street. The work is being executed in a manner that will effectually secure it against the
Winter floods.
John Markwell has purchased the Hays’ ranch, situated on the McCourtney road, 19 miles
below this town.
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1872
In the District Court at Salt Lake on Saturday, Miss Pheobe Courzens, on motion of
Governor Woods, was admitted to the Bar. An address of welcome by Judge McKean and hearty
congratulations by members of the profession followed. Miss Snow, daughter of the Territorial
Attorney-General, was also admitted.
THE RAILROAD.—The Marysville Appeal says a proposition will be made at the meeting of
1.0.0.F. Yuba Lodge No. 5, on this Tuesday evening, to sell $5,000 worth of their stock in the Odd
Fellow’s building of this city, and invest it in the proposed Marysville and Nevada narrow gauge
railroad.
DISGRACEFUL.—Some passersby rescued an Indian woman from being run over by a heavily
loaded team on Bennett street on Saturday last. She was lying in the middle of the street, nearly
covered up with dust, in a beastly state of intoxication, with an empty whisky bottle lying by her side.
It is a pity parties furnishing Indians with liquor could not be discovered and be punished as the law
directs.

A GRASS VALLEY MAN KILLED.—A Los Angeles dispatch of Monday, to the Marysville
Appeal says: “A man named Smith was thrown by a ‘broncho’ horse last Saturday, while
on the road to this city, and soon after died. He has a wife and children in Grass Valley.”
The Christian name of the party is not given. [On the following day the Grass Valley Union
reported: “A dispatch to the Sacramento Union of the same purport puts the name of the
man as ‘Magee!’”]
EMPIRE MINE.—Since the strike made in this mine a week ago, we learn from A. Delano the
company’s banker, the sum of $36,000 has been realized. The rock now being crushed yields $40 to
the ton, with the ledge in the drift showing as rich in gold as when first struck. This is a gratifying
result for the Empire company, which has persevered amid difficulties a company of ordinary means
must have sunk under.
BENEFIT PARTY.—A social dancing Party will be given at the Skating Rink, on Tuesday
evening, October ist, for the benefit of Mrs. Marshall and children who were left destitute by the
