GRASS VALLEY UNION MARCH 12 & 13, 1872 63 and the paper was placed in the Sheriff’s hands. Under Sheriff Potter came down on Sunday to serve the Capias, but Hoar could not be found. .. . THE CONCERT.—Saturday evening at Hamilton Hall, the concert for the benefit of the Library Association came off. The concert was a success in every particular, and it paid. The pay part goes to the assistance of those who want books to read .. . . We are not up in the ways and in the words of the critics. We always look around at the audience and we observe that when a good song is sung the audience knows that it is good. For instance, when Miss Frank Parker sung “Janet’s Choice” most exquisitely, and was called back by the audience she sang “Some One Loves Me,” we thought the whole audience there did love her. We know they did. In the comic solo Mr. Lathrop was most excellent. He sang the “Merry Little Fat Gray Man” in a style which caused the house to ring again with applause. He rendered “Simon the Collarer” to the no less delight of the audience. In the tableaux given we must say that “Rebecca at the Well” was a most superb piece of statuary. . . . Miss Rachel Novitzky gave a piano solo, “Harp ALolian” which showed that she is a perfect mistress of that grand instrument. Mrs. Frank Beatty presided at the piano almost all the evening. It is needless to say in the local columns of a Grass Valley paper, that she is always perfect. Mrs. Wells, Mrs. Foster and Miss Delavan contributed much to the enjoyment of the evening. The gentlemen singers Messrs. Crase, Webber and Conaway were, of course, very good. Such gentlemen always are. The cream of the whole thing can be stated in figures. After all the criticisms on singing the financial settlement is the thing. Even Nilsson has her notes estimated in cash. The concert realized $250 clear of all expenses. This goes to the Library. We call that success. WATER IN THE MINES.—The late rains have given the mines here some trouble. The North Star is not quite able to control the water. The 800-foot level is in a cold bath and the water is slowly gaining with all the work the pumps can do. If only sixteen days of good work in the mine can be done this month, a dividend will accrue. The water is free at the Eureka, but it is easily handled. If they only had good rock at the Eureka all would be right. SELLING OUT.—Ike Wehle is selling off his goods, for he is going away. He is about to shake the dust of Grass Valley from his feet. He is selling goods at very low rates. Call upon him. SELLING OUT! POSITIVELY LAST CHANCE! ISAAC WEHLE begs leave to inform Storekeepers and the public in general that he will positively close up his Variety Store, No. 3 Mill Street. ON THE First of April 1872. Those desirous of purchasing anything in the variety line will do well to call on him and purchase such bargains as we never offered in this place or any other place. ISAAC WEHLE. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13, 1872 BORN. At Grass Valley March 12th, 1872, to C. J. SISSON and Wife, a Son. NEVADA ITEMS.—We take the following items from the Nevada Transcript of yesterday. Hon.
