"We hear with regret of the death of Philip Atherly, Esq., of Rough and Ready, California. Mr. Atherly will be remembered by some of our readers as the hero of the romantic elopement of Miss Sallie Magregor, daughter of Colonel 'Bob' Magregor, which created such a stir in well-to-do circles some thirty years ago.

Then he broke up, and went all to pieces when we struck Californy, and left ME Sally Magregor, whose father had niggers of his own to wash for Rough and Ready!
