GRASS VALLEY UNION JANUARY 10 & 11, 1874 5 SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1874 MARRIED. At the residence of the bride’s father, near Nevada city, January 7, 1874, by Rev. Mr. [Josiah] Sims, ALBERT M. ALLEN to Miss ANNA R. MALTMAN. ARRESTED.—William Wolfe has been in the habit of hanging round the High School building for the last few days and accosting the larger girls who attend that school. He has also been bold enough to enter, unbidden, the back lots of some of the residences here. His conduct has frightened several of the girls. Marshal Collins heard of the outrage and arrested the man. Wolfe is in the lock up. It is supposed that he is about half crazy, but crazy or sane he is not the kind of a man to be allowed to run around loose in this town. We hope there is a good strong law which will fit his case. BAD BOYS.—We fear that Grass Valley has some bad boys. We fear that there are some men here who encourage the boys to be very bad. There is a severe law on the statute books of this State against selling boys under age intoxicating liquors, without the consent of parents. That law needs some improvement in Grass Valley. We have heard of several small boys, instigated by larger ones, going into business places and borrowing money in the name of their parents. These little fellows tell the person of whom they borrow that their father or mother sent for the money. The cash thus obtained is generally divided up among the larger chaps who put up the jobs, and is then spent for toys or confectionery. Parents ought to be careful and know what their boys are doing. The children are les to blame than the parents who neglect them. WANTED HERE.—Chief Karcher, of Sacramento, in his annual report to the Trustees, recommends that they pass an ordinance making it a misdemeanor in any person under eighteen years to be found hanging around the door of a theatre, melodeon, concert saloon, or drinking saloon of any kind, or house of ill-fame, or in company of any idle or dissolute boys or men, or in company with thieves. We notice that the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, at their last session, adopted a somewhat similar ordinance to the above. All cities should do likewise. Especially Grass Valley. SUNDAY, JANUARY 11, 1874 MARRIED. At Grass Valley, January ist, 1874, by Rev. J. W. Brier, Jr.,. ANDREW H. MARCH to LOUISA BRUCE, all of Grass Valley. DIED. At Grass Valley, January 10th, 1874, J. E. McGINN, son of Humphrey and Catharine Sullivan, aged 13 years, 6 months and 10 days, a native of Grass Valley. IN TOWN.—Yesterday was a good one for visitors to the Metropolis of this county. Mr. [Hiram] C. Hodge, who was the first Treasurer of this county, now of Concord, Michigan, paid us a visit. He is editor of the News of his town and is making a tour of the mining country. He writes for the Detroit Union while traveling. Mr. Hodge finds only a few of his old acquaintances of 20 years ago left in Nevada and Grass Valley. N. P. Brown of the Transcript dropped in to see a live printing office yesterday. He is looking well—almost beautiful. .. . LOCAL BREVITIES.—Dewey & Pollard’s second term of dancing school begins to-morrow evening at West’s Hall. They teach how to dance with grace and good sense. See their card. Thieves in Nevada city are robbing clothes lines, and they show a preference for female garments. The garments ought not to be 0 temping, with their nice flounces and laces and things. BIG SEWER.—Down on Main street, from Fletcher & Glasson’s store to the Auburn street big
