GRASS VALLEY UNION MARCH 20 & 21, 1872 73 the second floor. In the second floor will be offices and the Lodge room. The plans were drawn by Wm. Bettis of Grass Valley. The front will present a fine appearance, and above the second story in the front wall, there will be three links, emblematic of the order. It is proposed to make the building fire proof, and it is expected it will be completed and occupied by Fall. ST. PATRICK’S BALL.—Monday night the ball at Hamilton Hall in honor of the memory of St. Patrick, was a most decided success. The hall was crowded with dancers and enjoyment reigned throughout the night and until the “Jocund day stood tiptoe on the misty mountain top.” The supper was superb and was most excellently served. We do not remember of a more enjoyed festivity having occurred in Grass Valley. SOCIAL PURIM PARTY.—We are requested to state to parties having received invitations to the Social Purim Party, and to those who desire to attend, to procure their tickets before the evening of the party, as there will be no tickets sold nor any money received at the door. Tickets can be had of the Committee of Arrangements, B. Nathan and B. Wood’s store. REAL ESTATE SALE.—Yesterday the house and lot belonging to the Sandoz estate was sold at public auction. The property brought only $215 and was bought by Mr. S. Novitzky. This sale shows that real estate is not high in Grass Valley. A good home can be bought here at a very low figure. Times will be better in a few months. THE ELLERTON TROUPE.—This troupe of performers gave a most satisfactory performance in this place last Saturday night. They will appear at Hamilton Hall next Saturday evening where and when all who wish to enjoy a pleasant evening should attend. THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1872 WHO IS HE?—We are told that Amos Rogers used to reside in Grass Valley. A telegram from Battle Mountain, dated the 18th of March says: “Amos Rogers died this morning of smallpox. Deceased was well known in this State [Nevada] and in California. He was an old resident of both and a member of the Odd Fellows.” Letter from Sacramento—Woman’s Rights. SACRAMENTO, March 17, ’72. EDITOR G. V. UNION: It had been reported through this town during the beginning of the week just past, that on Wednesday evening a delegation of women from San Francisco would address the members of the Assembly Chamber, on the leading topic of the day (?) Woman’s Suffrage. On Wednesday evening your correspondent wended his way to the State Capitol to listen to addresses from the eloquent female Ciceros (!) of the present day. A few minutes before 8 o’clock, the delegation, headed by the invincible Mrs. General Pitts-Stevens, swept into the Assembly Chamber. At 8 o'clock, Mr. Freeman, from Yolo county, called the meeting to order, and nominated for Chairman Mr. S. J. Finney, Senator from San Mateo and San Francisco. He was unanimously chosen by the women, and on taking his seat made a few remarks, and then introduced to the audience Mrs. Hanks, who read an essay, or harangue, on “The Fundamental Principles of Government.” We could not see where the fundamental principles came in, unless it was in giving the women the right to vote, and as man was created first, created this Government and supports his wife, we think what is derived from man is the basis of this Government. In the midst of her discourse, while talking about “Domestic Tranquility,” she eloquently exclaimed: “Never again will domestic tranquility be found at the fireside of American homes, until
