2 JANUARY 3 & 4, 1877 GRASS VALLEY UNION
admirably. Beckett and Muller’s band furnished the music in their usual admirable style, and
the inspiration thus bestowed kept every one dancing from nine o'clock till two, when all hands
adjourned to the Union Hotel and paid their respects to a tempting spread. We left after supper, so
know nothing of the subsequent proceedings.
FOUND.—Between Nevada City and Grass Valley, an overcoat. The owner can have the same by
proving property and settling for this advertisement.
LECTURE POSTPONED.—Major P. S. Dorney will lecture before the Camp of Caucasians at
Temperance Hall, this evening at 7:30. Members of the order will please attend.
NOTICE.
HAVING sold the Empire Market, Main street, Grass Valley, to Mr. FRANK AURMER, he will continue
the business at the old stand. All those indebted to me on account at the Empire Market are requested to settle
with Mr. Theodore Wilhelm, or at the shop, who is authorized to receipt for same. Prompt attention to this
notice will save costs. JACOB NAFFZIGER.
Grass Valley, January 3d
THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, 1877
DIED. At Grass Valley January 2nd 1877, MINNIE, daughter of George and M. J. Lord, aged 7
weeks and 2 days, a native of Grass Valley. Funeral from the family residence, Main street,
this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Friends and acquaintances of the family are invited to attend.
At Nevada City, Jan. ist, 1877, Mrs MARY ANN LOTT, wife of Edwin Miner Lott, aged 48 years
and 10 months.
LITTLE CHAPS.—The foundry firm of Thom & Allan, of Nevada city, was dissolved on the 30th
of December. Mr. Allan continues the business, and still retains his high position as a member
of the Mustard Club.
The Nevada Transcript sensibly declares against political “indignation meetings.” It favors cool
considerations of vexed questions, which is also correct.
Not an intoxicated man was seen in Grass Valley on New Year’s day, and not a single politics
was talked—no wonder the day passed off so pleasantly.
The firm of Campbell & Stoddard, of Boston Ravine, has been dissolved. Mr. Campbell will
conduct business there on his own account.
BILLIARDS.—There will be a match game of billiards next Saturday night, at the National
Hotel in Nevada City, to be played by John Hersch of Grass Valley and Palmer Smith of Nevada City.
Already there is considerable interest manifested in the coming match, and several bets have been
made. Both players are among the first class of amateur billiardists. A number of Grass Valleyans are
going up to pat Johnny on the back.
AROUND AND GETTING WELL.—We are glad to see that George W. Smith Esq., ex-Sheriff of
the county, is out [of] his sick room again, and that he is getting well. He journeyed very near to the
brink of the dark river, and most of his friends thought that he was about to pass to the other side,
but he is good yet for many years of active and useful life. He was around among his Grass Valley
friends on Tuesday last, and received many congratulations on his convalescence.
SURPRISE.—Tuesday being David Binkelmann’s birth day, a lot of his friends proceeded to
give him a surprise. They spread a fine supper in West’s Hall, and then went o=after the old man and
captured him and took him to the Hall. Feasting, music and dancing constituted the ceremonies of
the occasion, and all enjoyed themselves.
