LOCAL MATTERS.

ing the late storm. At Eureka there was a
foot of snow Yesterday morning, and six or
eight inches at Orleans Flat and along the di-
vide above Bloomfield. Some snow fell at
the town of Bloomfield, but not enough to COW
or the ground. At Jackson's ranch, on the
Henness road, there was no rain, and the dry
snow fell upon a deep bed of dust. We learn
that there was also considerable snow at One
va and Alpha, and along the summit Of the di-
vide between the South Yuba and Deer creek.
1t is not likely to lie on the ground many days
at this season of the year, and thus far the
travel has not been interrupted.
PosTPoNED.-We learn that the issue of the
first number of the Lincoln campaign paper
has been postponed for a few days, in conse-
quence of the illness of the printer who was to
have set it up. Mr.. Potter says his articles
will be so strong that none but Republican
compositor can put them in type; consequently
he is compelled to wait until his own compost
tor gets well. 1t was formerly the rule among
compositors to follow copy, if it took them out
the fourth story window, but that day has gone
by.
A STAMPEDE.-Some eighty men have late
ly been at work on the Henness turnpike
between the summit and Dog Valley hill. On
Thursday last, when it commenced showing,
the men became fearful that they would be
blocked up in the mountains for the winter
and in spite of the remonstrances and entreat-
les Of the contractors, abont half of the work.
do 40 f,r tlox T.,
ing this way, they met Messrs. Freeman and
Wood going out, who persuaded all but two of
the men to go back to their work.
FATAL AcCIDBNT.-Patrick Casey, a miner
at Wolseys Flat, was killed last Thursday, in
the Blue Rayine claims. He was at work in
a cut of the depth of l25 feet, when piece of
earth, weighing only three or four pounds,
which fell from the top of the bank, struck him
on the left breast, and he died in few minutes.
1t is singular fact, that not so much as
mark was left on his breast where the earth
struck him. His body was brought to Nevada
yesterday for interment.
NATURALIzED.-Int the District Court, final
papers Of naturalization were granted this
morning to the following persons: Jas. Brady,
John Knotwell, August Keiser, Leopold Grein-
field, Cornelius Sullivan, Reuben Herod, Theo-
dore Adams, H. Thomas, James Hughes, John
Comfy, Michael Fay, Edward BARLEY, Geo. X.
Davidson. James McGullian, VIM. Plumhof
In LUCK.-Mr. Geo. Pierce, who has lately
arrived from Oregon, with Dan Rice's circus
troupe, has sent to Messrs. Funston & Pierce,
of this place, two boxes of large Oregon apples,
to be distributed among their friends. We are
happy to state that the DEMOCRAT folks were
counted among the number. They are the lar
gest and best we have seen this year.
CoRREcTIoN.-In our last, we stated that
election precincts could not be established with
in two miles of each other. This was mis-
take. BY an amendment to the general cleo
tion law, the Board Of Supervisors are author
lied to establish precincts at points not less
than one mile apart.
GAME.-We learn that Barney Harrgan and
Masters Gregory, who have been hunting be-
low Rough & Ready for two weeks past, are
sending to the Nevada market large quantities
of game. Over fifty quails, and about a dozen
hares, were sent into town from their camp
yesterday evening.
PERsoNAL.-We had the pleasure of meet
ing Mr.. Ruhl, editor of the Democratic Press,
the German paper of San Francisco, who was
in Nevada few days ago. Mr.. Ruhl was for
merly employed in the mint, but chose to throw
up his position rather than surrender his prin-
ciples consequently he was discharged.
THE CAMPAIGNBR.--We learn that the de-
mand for the first number of the Nevada CAM
paigner was so much greater than the proprie-
tor expected, that second edition was worked
off in order to supply the thirty or forty SUBJ
scribers procured in Nevada.
DISTURBING THE PRAcE.-Peter Mooney
was arrested yesterday evening, by special po-
liceman Scott, for disturbing the peace. He
was examined this morning before Justice
Smith, found guilty and fined ten dollars. He
paid his fine and left.
For WAsHoE.-The stage Of ]. K. Sale &
Co. left Nevada for Virginia City, at 4 o'clock
this morning; and pack train, in charge Of
Dick Gray, left for the same destination this
forenoon.
