LOCAL MATTERS.

RUMORED DEPARTURE.-It is rumored that
II. B. Thompson, Public Administrator, has
left for Mexico, without bidding his friends
goodbye. He left here last Saturday night, for
the Bay, borrowing one or two revolvers from
some Of his friends. A gentleman who knows
Thompsof, wel and who vas II San Francisco
the first Of the week, says he saw Thompson 90
on board a vessel bound for Mazatlan and pay
his passage. In fact, Thompson told him he
was going to Mexico, and the probability is
that he has followed in the footsteps of some of
his Industrious predecessors" in Office. The
Probate Judge informs Us that Thompson must
have had some $4,000 or $4,000 in his hands,
belonging to several different estates. No large
estate ever came into his possession. It's pos
sible that Thompson may come back and settle
up; but the fact of his leaving town just before
his term Of office expires, looks suspicious.
THE BRIDGE TAx.-We give in another
column the decision of the Supreme Court af-
flming the legality Of the special tax, for the
construction of Pine street bridge. The argu-
ments of the appellants counsel, upon which
the opponents of the bridge relied to defeat the
collection of the tax, were mere technical quib-
bles, which were disregarded by the Supreme
Court. There is a class of men in town who
think every act of the Trustees, and everything
connected with the town government, is illegal.
We invite such to read the decision of the SUI
preme Court in the bridge tax case.
DEPUTIRs.-We learn that Mr.. Knowlt on,
Sheriff elect, has appointed Henry Phillip Un-
der Sheriff, and w. f. Hasett Jailor. Mr..
Phillip has been long and favorably known in
this county as an energetic business man, and
his appointment will give entire satisfaction to
all those who prefer man of that character to
a loud-mouthed politician in office. Mr.. Has
let, although not personally acquainted with
him, we have no doubt will make good off,
Ger.
STAGING TO WAsHoE.-The stages Of Mr..
Mau and of Sale & Co. are now making the
trips regularly between Nevada and Virginia
City in two days. They left the latter place
last Monday morning together, and arrived in
Nevada on Tuesday evening, at the same time.
Yesterday evening, the mules came in little
ahead, notwithstanding our Virginia City cor
respondent thinks "there's no use talking
MINING ACCIDENTAL man named John
Richards was seriously injured day or two
ago, while at work in a mining claim at Jones'
Bar, by tub of dirt falling upon him. His
right arm was broken and the elbow dislocated,
and his left leg badly cut. Drs. Bates and
Meek who were sent for yesterday, went down
and set the broken bones and dressed his
wounds.
BURNED IN EFFIGY.-We are informed
that Mr.. Waite, of the Journal, was burned in
efigy this morning, at Grass Valley. An ar
ticle in the last Journal rejecting severely upon
Mr.. Watt, for refusing to contribute towards
fitting out company Of volunteers, is suppo-
sed to have been the cause Of this demon
stration.
DIssoLUTIoN.-We understand that Mr.. N.
p. Brown has purchased the interests Of his
partners, Messrs. Casamayou and Shelton, in
the Transcript, and taken upon himself the
herculean task of publishing that paper. Gen.
Allen also withdraws as editor.
INSURANCE AGENT.-Mr. John Pattison, of
the telegraph office, Main street, has received
the agency for the Home Insurance Co., of
New York, the Niagara Fire Insurance Co.,
New York, and Of the Connecticut Mutual
Life Insurance Co., of Hartford.
ANOTHER CoMPANY.-MY. John c. Duel
has opened recruiting Office at Floyd's Sa-
loon, Grass Valley, for the purpose of enlisting
another company. Quite a number of names
have already been obtained, and it is expected
that the company viii soon be made up. i

County Supervisors will be held on Monday

enter upon the discharge of their duties.
