144 JUNE 4 & 5, 1875 GRASS VALLEY UNION
last tribute of respect to the late Mrs. Mary E. Whitesides. Rev. W. McPheeters officiated on the
sorrowful occasion. The deceased had been a resident of Grass Valley over twenty years and was
much respected.
DEPOT GROUNDS.—The work of removing the buildings on Bennett street is commenced.
Henry Stevens has removed Bishop’s house, on the corner of Bennett and Cemetery streets, out of
the way, and is at work moving the residence of the late C. F. Honey forward. As soon as this is done
the house now occupied by Edwin James will either be demolished or moved, as it occupies a portion
of the ground that will be needed for the depot. Mr. Stevens informs us that he will have six or seven
more carpenters at work to-morrow.
CHALLENGE.—The True Blue Base Ball club of Grass Valley, have challenged the Intrepid
Club of Marysville, and the True Blues will go to Marysville to meet them. The True Blues are a good
club and will give the Intrepids their hands full to get away with them. The match will take place on
Thursday, 10th instant.
NEVADA CITY ITEMS.—The Transcript of yesterday has the following items:
John Cashin was elected President and W. J. Organ Clerk of the Board of Education, and M. L.
Marsh and A. Goldsmith qualified as members, to serve for three years, at the meeting held on
the 28th ult.
The new Methodist Church bell has arrived and put in position yesterday. It weighs 900
pounds, is 3 feet in diameter and 3 high, Meneely & Co., Troy, N-Y., are the makers. The
following inscriptions are upon it “M. E. Church, Nevada City, Cal” “Holiness to the Lord.”
The V Flume is now completed a distance of five miles. It will be completed to the Murchie mine
in about two weeks.
DENTAL.—The California State Dental Association will hold its sixth annual session in San
Francisco on June 8th. The object of this association is to elevate the character and dignity of
the profession, to establish uniformity in practice upon scientific principles, and to develop that
desire for mutual cultivation, literary research and scientific investigation so much needed in all
professions.
BURGLARY.—A few nights since the cabin of Henry Stevens was entered by a burglar, who tore
off the window stops, which let the upper sash down, and the housebreaker then easily climbed over
it, thereby effecting an entrance. He got a knife and a ten cent piece for his trouble. About a year ago
Mr. Stevens’ cabin was broken into and $170 stolen. There is no clue to the robbers.
NEW STORE.—C. C. Townsend, on Mill street, is now fitting up a nice store next to his present
stand. The new store is a nice, light, airy room and is a very desirable stand. Townsend keeps so
many nice things on hand all the time that he is compelled to get a larger store.
FOR MOUNTAIN PASTURE.—Yesterday afternoon a few sheep passed through town bound for
the mountain pasture land. During their passage through town Young America had some excitement
and dust.
PERSONAL.—J. F. Nesmith, an old time Grass Valleyan, appeared on our streets yesterday and
did some very extensive hand shaking with his hosts of friends.

RATS.—Every mine in this township of any size and age have a large number of rats in it. The
writer of this has often seen hundreds of them congregated to hear whistling or singing or to get the
crumbs left by the miners after their dinners. These rats are not poor, weakly things, but are large
