34 FEBRUARY 14-16, 1872 GRASS VALLEY UNION
NOL. PROS.—Two of the Chinamen who had been indicted for grand larceny because they broke
into Wood’s store in Grass Valley, and carried away about $2,000 worth of goods, were discharged
yesterday. Is it not a mockery to justice to discharge such men? The people are taxed for arrests and
imprisonments, and when a trial comes on a nolle prosequi is entered. Those Chinamen stole the
goods and were caught with the goods, and yet they are innocent. The people are long suffering.
THEATER.—We understand that a Dramatic and Musical entertainment will be given at
Hamilton Hall, on Saturday evening next, by a party of local performers, as a complimentary benefit
to Mr. Tony Ward the well known comic singer. The entertainment will consist of dramatic pieces,
songs, quartets, glees, dances, etc.
THREE YEARS.—The two Indians, Ed and Jim, who committed highway robbery some weeks
ago, were yesterday sentenced to the penitentiary for three years each. They will have ample time to
reflect about that misdeed of theirs, if they can reflect.

LOCAL BREVITIES.—The county records of Nevada county have been rectified by an Act of the
Legislature.
Tom. Henry, an old time Nevada county man appeared in our streets yesterday after an absence
of ten or twelve years. Tom is not the man he used to be.
A Chinaman or two threaten a libel suit against a prominent newspaper man of this county. Ah
Sim is learning the bad customs of American civilization.
A. A. Smith of Bloomfield township has been appointed a Justice of the Peace. He wore the
ermine of that office down in Rough and Ready a few years ago.
Mrs. Palmer, of Nevada city, was elected, the other day, as President of the Womanr’s Rights
Convention of this State.
There is a lot of valentines in the Postoffice which are held for payment of postage. It takes one
cent, by George, to get a valentine through when it is a drop concern; three cents when it goes
off by mail to another office. The valentine senders should study the law.
SUBSCRIPTION.—William Limin an old resident here, is afflicted with a most malignant
cancer, and he is disabled thereby. Some three or four months ago a small boil appeared on his neck
and now the sore has extended up to just below the eye. The physicians say that there is no help for
him. Yesterday Messrs. John Trenberth and Robert Jeffery took up a subscription and money enough
was raised to send the afflicted man to his home in England.’
PERSONAL.—Charley Watson, who used to drive stage between Nevada city and Sacramento
or Folsom, from 1853 until 1860, and with whom we used to ride in the flush days, is on a visit to this
county. He is renewing acquaintances of the past and is most warmly greeting on all sides. Time has
dealt most gently with him, and the world has been good to him for he is fixed well. He deserves all
the good friends and the good fortune he has.

The Way the Track is Cleared.
Speaking of the blockaded region, the Corinne Reporter says:
Probably 2,000 men are employed in that region now shoveling snow; wages per day, $3
10; per night $6 20. Often after men have worked without cessation for forty-eight hours
and completely exhausted, taken a few hours’ sleep, they have waked to find their cut filled
