LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

SUIcrDE.-A man named Ensign Church, who
has been mining for some time at Selby FIAT
committed suicide on Thursday, by taking
laudanum. On Wednesday morning he went 10
Mr.. Henry Shively, for whom he was working
and told him he had been bit by dog, that ne
feared the dog was mad, and that he was gong
into town to see about it; at the same time be
showed scratch on his hand which was bleed
ing. In the evening of the same day he came
to Mr. Liddel's, who keeps drinking house IN
CayoteviIle. He had evidently been drinking
considerably and told Mr.. Liddel he wanted
some laudanum to put him to sleep. Mr.. Llddel
told him there was no laudanum in the house,
and Church left and said he would 60 and get
some. About daylight, the next morning he
got back to the house, awaked Liddel up, and
told him he had come there to die. Llddel
knowing he had been drinking, took little no
tice of what he said, and he went in and laid
down. About noon Mr.. Liddel noticed that he
was breathing very hard, and on going to him,
found in one of his pockets three empty walls
labelled ''laudauum," two of them ounce, and
the other a half ounce vial. Physicians were
Immediately sent for, but they arrived too late
to do any thing for him, and he died in short
time. 1t appears he had bought the Walls Of
laudanum at three different drug stores in town
and must have taken it after getting back to the
house. He had seventeen dollars in his pocket
which was appropriated towards his funeral ex
penses.
Mr.. Church was about thrty-two years old
and formerly lived in Garfield, Mahoning CO..
Ohio where his relatives now reside He was
printer by trade, and formerly editor and
proprietor of the Garfield Sentinel. Scvera
scraps of paper were found in the room, OF
wLch he had been writing. The following il
all that was legible:
"Henry-God don't lie. told you if be die
] would be back before the sun went down
For the last five years have known the day o
my decease; but my God, never thought j
would come this way.
II have not been down to see about that d
dog, for | knew when be bit me | was goncr
| have been to see the spread eagle, aud yol
are right about it.
II think have some fifteen or sixteen dol
lars.
Bury me about twenty feet north of m,
cabin out there, and don't make no id fus
about it neither.
"All of you boys have seen how have lived
| wish you could see how die-without fear
without hope.
Yours with the utmost respect,
ENSIGN CHURCH.

FIRE IN GRASS VAILEY.-0n Friday morning
last, fire occurred in Grass Valley, which con-
sumed four or five buildings. The fire broke
out In house belonging to Mrs. Baldwin, stu
ated on the corner Of Main and School streets,
and before the flames could be arrested, this
house, and four small ones adjoining, were
ly saved. The total damages are estimated at
$4,000. Had the wind been blowing in the op-
posite direction, it is probable nearly the whole
town would have been destroyed. The room in
which the fire originated, was occupied by col
ored washer woman. She had been absent from
the house about two hours and previous to
leaving, had carefully extinguished the fire in
the stove.

THE PRIMARY ELEcrIoN--Next Saturday 10
the day fixed by the Central Committee of this
county for the election Of delegates to the Coun-
ty Convention. We hope every Democrat in
the county will attend the primary meetings
and vote for such delegates as will represent
his views. 1t is not only their right, but their
duty to do so. The present position of parties
in this State render 1t certain that the Demo-
cratic nominees will be elected, and for thlsrea-
son the primary elections are of the first i'm
portance. Let the Democracy attend to their
duty, see that proper men are selected as dele
gates from the several precincts, so that the will
of the majority may be fairly represented in
Convention.

MASONIC CELEBRATIoN.-The Masonic cele-
bration which comes off to-day, it is believed
will be in keeping with the well-known liberal
itv of the Fraternity. 4 large number of visi-
ting Brethren from Grass Valley, Rough d
Ready, and other places, are expected to be
present, and suitable preparations have been
made to receive them. The procession Will
form about one o'clock, and march to the Meth
odist Church, where the address will be deliv-
cred. The dinner comes off at the National
Exchange at three o'clock, and the ball at the
Court House in the evening. The latter, it is
thought will be the most brilliant affair of the
kind ever witnessed in Nevada.
We are requested to announce that the mem
bers of the Order will meet at the Lodge Room,
at precisely IL o'clock.

cu.vrrn or UonRoRs.-witbin the past few

A CHAPTER OF HoRRoRs-Witbin the past few
weeks an unusual number of crimes have been
perpetrated in Placer county. Murders, rob
berries, and outrages of every description have
been so common in that county as scarcely to
excite attention. We condense the following
from the Auburn Herald, of Saturday.
The brothel of Madam Hunter, ON Dutch Ra-
vine, was the scene of murder on Saturday
morning, June 18th. A Mexican named Sabrl-
ano Robes, who was dancing in the house. was
called out by Antonio $3.50, and words passed
between them in regard to woman who was
an inmate Of the establishment Robes believ'
ing that $3.50 intended shooting him, or seeing
demonstrations of that kind, drew pistol and
shot $3.50 in the forehead, the bail penetrating
the brain. He fingered twenty-!our hours
Robes made good bis escape.
On the afternoon of Sunday, June 18th, a
man named Garry was murdered at Stewart
Flat Garry, while under the influence of Ii
auor, desired Chileno woman to ride with him
in buggy, which had stopped in the road, but
the men riding in it declined letting him have
it and drove off. Garry turning toward the
woman, pushed her slightly with his hand, but
apparently with no violent intention, which ac-
ton was observed by two Chilenos, francisco
Acosta and Jemasio,) one of whom was bro
Their to the woman, and attacked him with
knives and killed him on the spot-giving him
some nine or ten deadly wounds. After the
first blow Garry ceased to speak and sank to the
ground; but his butchers held him up and COM
pletcd their heIlish work. Quite number OF
white men witnessed the affair, but so sudden
was the attack and murder that the paralyzed
crowd made no effort to stop or arrest them.
After finishing their victim, one of the murder
ers deliberately cut belt and pistol from the
body. and both slowly left the ground. The
Sheriff, upon hearing of the affair went in pur-
suit of the assassins but did not succeed in get
ting on their trail.
A Chleno was killed at Todd's Valley on the
night of the 18th, while attempting to rob sluice
boxes. The members Of the company having a
suspicion that their boxes were robbed, set one
of their number to watch them. In short time
he discovered three persons at work with pans
&c cleaning up the succs Not desistng from
their rascalty when warned off, the Waterman
fired, and one of the men dropped dead. The
other two rushed upon the guard, but another
shot wounding one Of them, they took to their
heels, and made their escape, which is regarded
as the unfortunate part of the affair.
From the Iowa Hill Ners we learn that a ia
tai ARRAY occurred at Kings Hill, Oh Tuesday,
the 10th between q mulatto and a Spanard.
The difficulty commenced over game of cards;
the Spaniard used his knife with trifng effect
and the mulatto a shot gun, the charge from
which took effect in the Spanard's breast and
arm. He died Immediately. No arrest has
been made.

+. V. MooRE.-The execution of the sentence
ofF.V. Moore has been postponed by the Gov
ernor until Friday, July Sd. The postpone
mcnt, we understand, was obtained on the ap-
plication of Moores attorneys, in order to give
them time to prepare the appeal papers An
immense crowd of people were in Town last Fri
day; but as far as we could learn, none of them
came to see the hanging! All had business of
Importance to attend to that day; though the
most of them thought they would have went to
the hanging, provided it had not been postpon-
ed. A stay of proceedings will probably be or
dered by the Supreme Court, as they will not
have time to investigate the case previous to
to the Sd proximo; but it is scarcely probable
that new trial will be granted.

News FROM BAT. RYAN.--Somc time since we
chroncled the murder of a Mr.. Leighton, of
Rich Gulch, Calaveras county, by man named
Bat. Ryan, and the escape of the murderer
We learn from the San Audreas Independent
that Ryan has been heard from, and that the
officers are in pursuit of him. 1t appears
that Immediately after the murder, Ryan, in
company with cousin of his, named Patrick
Ryan, went over to Carson Valley, where
Bat purchased q horse for the purpose of
going to Salt Lake. Patrick Ryan returned
to California via. the Big Tree route for provis-
ions;-but, in drinking freely with companion
at the Big Trees, he made known his business,
when his confident had him arrested and lodged
in the Mokelumne Hill Jail A sherifr's posse
have gone over to Carson Valley for the pur-
pose of arresting Bat. Ryan-Patrick only be-
ing retained as q witness.

THE BURDELL TRAGEDY.--We announced last
week in our telegraphie dispatch, that the jury
in the case of Mrs. Cunningham, accused of the
murder Of DR. Burdell, had found a verdict of
not guilty. From the evidence before them no
other verdict could have been found The the
DRY set up by Coroner Connery at the inquest,
seemed to superficial observers to be sufficient
to fix the murder upon Mrs. Cunningham and
Eckel, and nearly every body in New York had
made up their minds that they were the guilty
parties. The Coroner's theory, however, was
completely broken down on the trial. and it be-
came evident that the murder was committed
by some one not an inmate of the house. Mrs.
Cunningham may have been privy to the muir
der, but there was no evidence before the Court
which tended in the least to fasten suspicion
upon her. The testimony of Farrell, who was
relied on as The principal witness by the prose-
cution, was not introduced 1t was reported
that he broke down while giving his evidence
before the grand jury, on being cross-question-
ed by the jurymen. The evidence, also in re-
gard to the daggers was kept back by the pros
ecution.

Mr.. JAMES STARK.-The engagement Of this
distinguished tragedian closed last evening.
During the eight nights that he appeared upon
our boards, the houses were good and at his
benefit on Saturday, the theater was crowded.
Our citizens have very generally availcd them
selves OF the opportunity to see aud hear man
who justly ranks among the first actors of the
day.
The character of Macbeth was personated by
Mr.. Stark on Saturday night with correctness
rarely attained by any actor. This is one Of
his best characters, and the varied passions
quick succession, and with an apparent reality
which can only be acquired by long and careful
study, and thorough appreciation of the mean
ing of the author. His versatility is one of his
most remarkable traits. 1t seems to matter
little what style may be demanded; he is pre-
pared for each, and excellent in all. The "Mac-
beth" and "Cousin Joe" Of Saturday, would
prove this remark to any audience His efforts,
however, to acquire versatility in his profession.
must to some extent impair his excellence in
Tue line Ol CuuIuClcES lOE WHICH nc Is luOTc Pc
culiarly adapted and by which his merits are
to be judged. Mr.. Stark is q close student, and
devotes himself with untiring industry to bis
profession. Such an actor is constantly improv-
ing; and with this feature of his character
known, his present excellence considered, it is
safe to predict for him brilliant future.
Yesterday evening a complimentary benefit
was rendered Mr., and Mrs. Stark, on the occa-
sion of their last appearance, by a large number
Of our citizens. The entertainments presented
were 1.-THE Iron Chest" aud Faint Heart New
er Won Fair Lady" in which the principal
characters were sustained by the beneiciarcs,
to the satisfaction and delight of the large au-
dience assembled. Mrs. Stark is great favor
lite with the lovers of the drama. She was the
first actress that appeared upon the California
boards, and ranks amoung the best that have
since visited the State.

WILSON FLNr.-This gentleman, who became
SO notorious year or so ago in connection
with the Senatorial Joint Convention, has re-
Gently written letter to the S. +. Chronicle cx-
planning why he voted against the Convention.
In the letter, Mr.. Flint, as it were by accident,
casually tells of a little piece of trlckery which
the Know Nothings had in contemplation in the
winter of 1856. 1t will be remembered that in
the X. N. Legislative caucus, Gov Foote and
II. A. Crabb were the principal asprants for
the u. g. Senate, and that before Gov. Foote
was nominated, Mr. Crabb was withdrawn. 1t
appears that the name of Mr.. Crabb was with
drawn with the express understanding that
sometime during the winter another Joint Con-
ventiou was to be held, and Mr.. Crabb was to
be elected to succeed Col. Weller The Know
Nothings evidently felt that their lease of office
was short, and were determined 10 make the
most of what they had.

Trying TO RAISE THE DEAD.-A notice ap-
peared in the last number of the Journal, call
ing meeting Of the X. N. Council for the 4th
Of July. Some of the members of this dcfunct
party are limiting that there will be an Amer
loan" ticket in the field in the ensuing cam
paign. 1t appears the rule adopted in some Of
the counties, requiring them to give some evil
dence of their devotion to Democratic principles
before being allowed to participate in the pri-
mary elections, is distasteful to some of the
members ofthe late X. n party.
