14 JANUARY 16-18, 1877 GRASS VALLEY UNION
Social Dance.
The Young Men’s C. S. Club of Grass Valley will give a Social Dance at Hamilton Hall Thursday
evening, the 18th instant, and cordially invite the ladies and gentlemen of Grass Valley, Nevada city
and the surrounding country to attend. [On the following day the Union reported an error in its
announcement: “The Young Men’s C. S. Club will entertain their gentlemen and lady friends, in their
own Hall, next door above the UNION office, next Thursday evening, instead of at Hamilton Hall.
The Club’s rooms are handsomely fitted up, and every arrangement has been made for a pleasant
time.” ]

RAINFALL.—The rainfall up to 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon, as measured by the rain gauge
at Loutzenheiser’s drug store, was eight three one hundredths of an inch. The last rain before that of
yesterday, which was hardly enough to be measured at all, fell on the 16th day of last November—just
sixty-one days between showers. The thermometer was about 42 degrees above zero while the rain
was falling.
OUT AGAIN.—The many friends of our friend Dennis Meagher will rejoice to learn that he has
so far recovered from a severe attack of fever as to be around town for a few hours in the day. Ina
little while he will be better than ever.
WANT WORK.
The cry of distress still comes from the Comstock lode. Men there want work but can not get
it. The Virginia Chronicle informs us that in the Ophir mine there are only eleven men employed on
each shift, making thirty-three miners that have work in that mine. The statement is given to the
public in order to prevent miners from going to the Comstock in order to get work. Private letters
from that region represent matters as in a fearful condition, and aid from this place has been asked
in more than one instance. It is represented that women and children are suffering for food and
clothing in Virginia and Gold Hill, and that their natural protectors are not able to get work so as to
relieve the wants of those who are dependents. We hope that the situation is greatly exaggerated, but
there is no doubt about the want of employment by the miners along the Comstock.
