LOCAL MATTERS.

Sprine street. 1t appears that Menteau has
been living at Red Dog, and his wife left him
some time since. and came to Nevada. On
Sunday, he endeavored to induce her to return
TO Red Dog, and upon her refusal, he conclu-
ded the hest thing he could do would be to hang
himself. Accordingly, he went into vacant
room. fastened the door, and throwing one end
of rope over a joice tied the ends together,
and getting on a chair placed his neck in the
loon and swung off. His wife discovered him
Through the window, and being unable to get
into the room gave an alarm. Some of the
neighbors rushed to the place, and breaking
open the door, took his neck out of the loop,
and the unfortunate man still lives.
81 POLITICAL DIsCUsSIoN.-Ina accordance with
previous arrangements, political discussion
Ranch, between Judge Sears and A. B. Dibble,
Esq. Mr.. Dibble, being fluent talker, and
having the better cause, was altogether too
much for his judicial competitor; the latter
seemed to be anxious only to fill up his allotted
time, and at the conclusion of the discussion,
the manifestations of the crowd were of such
character as to induce the Breckinridgers to
Immediately take their departure. OF course
men are not anxious to stop long in place
where they have no friends. Gentlemen ac-
quainted at the locality, inform us that Douglas
will have almost unanimous vote at Allison
Ranch.
