DEATH OF AN OLD CITIZEN. George Williams, who has resided in Grass Valley since
about 1850, died yesterday morning at 3 o'clock. For the greater part of the time of his
residence here he has been the proprietor of the Pacific Hotel, on Main street. He was an
enterprising and public spirited citizen and his death is much regretted.
KILLED.—The Marysville Appeal informs us that Mark Curran, of Timbuctoo, was killed on
Sunday last between his home and Spenceville by being thrown from his wagon.
PROVIDING FOR THE WIDOW.—The people of Smartsville and vicinity have given another
instance of their liberality. Last week Thatcher Holmes was killed by a cave in the Babb mine, leaving
a widow and several children. A subscription was started for their benefit, and $1,000 were donated.
Such liberality is beyond all praise.
DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.—There will be a Democratic meeting next Thursday night, at Concert
Hall (Skating Rink) for the purpose of nominating a ticket of delegates to be voted for at the primary
election on next Saturday. Remember that the meeting is at Concert Hall and that the time is
Thursday night. ...
RAIN.—Yesterday about 12 o’clock M. the clouds came up and brought rain. There were showers
during the afternoon. The rain was not more than enough to swear by, but it sufficed to swear about.
We heard a man say that he be durned if he didn’t want a good rain.

IN BONDS.—Mts. Kate Miller was yesterday sent to the county jail from Truckee. She was
accused and convicted of disturbing the peace of virtuous Truckee and was fined $75. She refused to
pay the fine, although she is able to do so, and was committed to jail for 37/2 days. Mrs. Miller is a
laundress at home and an honest woman with a sharp tongue in her head.
DRESS MAKING AND CHILDREN’S CLOTHING.—Mrs. Shea is prepared to cut and make
ladies dresses in the latest styles, also children’s clothing of all kinds. We recommend the ladies of
Grass Valley to give her a call. See advertisement.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.—The Truckee Republican of the 22d says: “John Hyslop, was seriously
if not fatally injured this morning at Roberson MacBomick’s saw mill. He was engaged in unloading
