The following transcription is from a copy of a partial photocopy and is
by no means a complete transcription. (Remember, San Benito county is
still a part of Monterey county, at this time.)

The Castroville Argus
Castroville, Monterey Co., CA
5 Jun 1869
************
Born -- HATCH -- in Castroville, Sunday, May 29th, to the wife of S.
HATCH, a son.
Married -- HOWARD-NANCE -- in Monterey, May 31st, H.P. HOWARD to Miss
Elizabeth NANCE, by S.E. PARDE_
Died -- NORIEGA -- in San Jose, on the 30th, ult., Senor Jose NORIEGA,
aged 73 years.
House Moved -- Last Tuesday, the house formerly occupied by Mr. HANSON,
was removed from the old site to the corner of the Catholic Church lot,
where it will be fitted up as the residence of Father Hugh CURRAN. The
removal was done in so short a time that it drew comment from many, who,
in the evening saw the house, where in the morning was a vacant lot. We
never saw a like job done, even in that great house-moving city of San
Francisco to equal it.
STORERs Ferry Improvement -- We learn that there is to be a great and
much needed improvement at the ferry across the slough leading from this
place to Watsonville. On each side the piers are to be extended out into
deeper water, and by that means a longer slope be gained, which will
enable it to be crossed at any time of the year. We believe that Capt.
John HERNANDIA is to do the work, and therefore, we shall expect to see
it well done and shortly completed.
A New Hall in Salinas City -- It will be seen by reference to our new
advertisements that the new Hall of Mr. P.H. MAGUIRE will be opened to
the public on Tuesday, the 8th inst., by a grand ball. We do not for a
moment doubt but that it will be the Ball of the season, as Mr.
MAGUIREs knowledge of such things, and his ability to arrange, renders
him one of the few men who know how to get up such an affair in good
style, so as to give satisfaction to all that attend.
More New Houses -- We omitted to mention last week, in our article on
improvements, the erection of 2 buildings by Mr. WRIGHT, one as a
dwelling and the other for business purposes. Also, the dwelling of Mr.
Geo. G. GRIFFIN, which is now complete.
Castroville Hotel Extension -- We notice that Mr. Juan POMBER is putting
up an extension to his hotel. This addition will enable the proprietor to
add materially to the comfort of the traveling public, and has been
rendered necessary from the increase of travel through the valley, which
is becoming greater daily.
