MARRIED. At Grass Valley, December 25, 1873, by Rev. J. W. Brier, Jr., WILLIAM HENRY
MERRYFIELD to MARY DUBLE.
THE HORSE CAR RAILROAD.—The Nevada Transcript of yesterday says:
Senator O’Connor sticks to his proposition that he will be one of ten, to build a railroad
from this city via Grass Valley to Colfax. We are informed that George Jacobs, Esq., says
he will take one-tenth of the stock in the enterprise. This makes two. Only eight more are
required. Gentlemen send in your names. Don’t be modest. There are a hundred men in
this city and vicinity who are able to take one tenth of the stock if they will. Please don’t be
backward in coming forward.
CHANGE AND IMPROVEMENT.—We understand that Mr. Van Hoeter has purchased the
property on the East side of Mill street, opposite Pope’s ware-rooms, and that in place of a lot of
tumble down buildings (effects of the great snow storm) there will be a fine, walled cellar and a
substantial brick superstructure/ The new arrangement, as proposed, will be used for storage of
wines and liquors. Such a house is needed in Grass Valley and Mr. Van Hoeter is the one to build it.
SETH McCAIN’S CASE.—The Nevada Transcript of the 6th gives the following in regard to
Seth McCain’s case:
The examination of Seth McCain, charged with the crime of firing a pistol at John
McDermot with intent to commit murder, was set for to-day before Justice Walling, a
change of venue having been obtained by the accused from the court of Judge Davidson.
Yesterday Seth took stage for Colfax, leaving his bondsmen in the lurch. Before Seth left
he informed several parties of his intention, and, among others, the District Attorney. The
latter thought Seth was joking, and hence paid no attention to it. We are informed that if
Seth will remain away from this city no further action will be taken against him, but if he
returns he will be prosecuted. In the meantime his bonds will be forfeited, and when the
Grand Jury meets an effort will be made to procure an indictment against him.
TAX PAID.—The Transcript says: “On Saturday last the Central Pacific Railroad Company paid
the tax assessed to them in this county for the year 1873, amounting to the sum of $11,470. This
includes the tax assessed against the Contract and Finance Company. The tax assessed against that
company for the year 1872 remains, as yet, unpaid.”

MARYSVILLE.—Marysville has not been under water this Winter, but has been high and dry
all the time, with travel uninterrupted. Reports about high water there were not warranted by any
truth whatsoever. Such reports did prevail in this part of the country and we are glad to hear from
the Appeal that they were false. We hope that neither fire nor flood may ever harm Marysville, the
heartiest little city on the coast.
