43 FEBRUARY 23-25, 1877 GRASS VALLEY UNION
Company. The property is a valuable one, and will no doubt demonstrate the advantages of
investment by San Francisco capitalists in our mines.
NEW MUSIC.—Professor Ed. Muller of Nevada City has placed upon our table some new music
composed and published by himself. “Le Printemps” is the title of his latest publication, and the
music is pronounced to be very fine. Professor Muller is achieving a fine reputation as a musical
composer, and he has long held a front rank as a performer and teacher. His publications can be
obtained at W. K. Spencer’s book and music store, Grass Valley.

MARRIED. At the Methodist Episcopal Church, Grass Valley, February 22d, 1877, by Rev. J.
Lewis Trefren, Mr. WILLIAM J. JOHNSTON to Miss LYDA A. DIBBLE, all of Grass Valley.
THE WEDDING.~—It will be seen, by reference to a notice under the proper heading, that
a wedding came off in Grass Valley on Thursday night. The church was crowded with ladies and
gentlemen who witnessed the interesting ceremony, not less than fifteen hundred being in that
edifice. The floral decorations were splendid, and the costumes of bride and bridesmaids were rich
and in most exquisite taste, forming altogether a scene at the alter that has never been equaled in
this part of the country, and that has been surpassed in few places.
The parties in the solemn contract, in this case, as is known to our local readers, were Miss
Lyda A. Dibble, only daughter of A. B. Dibble, Esq., the well known attorney at law, of this place, and
the groom Mr. William J. Johnston, a young merchant of Nevada city, and oldest son of Mr. Peter
Johnston of Grass Valley.
After the ceremony at the church a reception was held at the residence of the bride’s parents
where music and dancing and an elegant supper and a general time of congratulation and meeting of
old friends filled up the hours until the happy couple left on the train for Colfax, and thence to San
Francisco. They were escorted to Colfax by a train load of friends, special cars having been provided
for the occasion.
The presents to the fair bride were numerous and of the most elegant and costly description.
These were sent from friends in the East, in Paris, San Francisco and many from home folks. Their
presents were not only beautiful but selected with reference to use. A happier gathering of friends
never got together under one roof tree to congratulate and wish well a young couple. The UNION
office sends the most cordial wishes for happiness and long life to them, and throws after them all
the old slippers that can be imagined to give them prosperity in the married life.
RAIN.—It rained, the weather did, Thursday night, as if it was determined that nobody should
have any fun. The effort of the weather in that direction was entirely futile and unsuccessful. There
was lots of fun. In about three or four hours that night, at the most interesting time, 0.03 inch of rain
fell, as measured at Loutzenheiser’s drug store. The rain that fell will do very little for the miners.

TILDEN AND HAYES.
The Republican newspapers are busy, just at the present time, in inculcating the idea that Mr.
Tilden never was the real choice of the Democrats as a candidate for the Presidency. This idea which
is being so persistently set forth originated with a newsgatherer of the Associated press, and he is
sending that opinion of his over the wires, every day, to all parts of this country. We can see only one
reason why the idea was invented and why it is industriously spread abroad in the newspapers.
