LOCAL MATTERS.

while sign was being stretched across Broad
street, portion of the fire wall of Mr.. Van
Hagan's building was pulled off, and breaking
down the awning, fell with loud crash. The
noise was heard considerable distance, and a
crowd Immediately collected around the spot.
son of Mr.. Leyey, who has furniture store
in the building was struck on the head with
brick, which cut pretty bad cash and stunned
him for the moment, but he was not seriously
injured. Several other persons we're standing
under the awning at the time of the accident,
but they fortunately managed to get out of the
way Of the falling bricks.
CoRREcTIoN.-In noticing the robbery of
Mr.. John Smith, in our Tuesdays issue, we
stated that he was drunk at the time. Our in
formant however was mistaken, in that respect,
and we are happy to make the correction. Mr..
Smith, though he did not start for home until
three in the morning, was duly sober, and we
learn that he is a member of the Sons Of Tenn
perance, and lives up to his pledge. 1t appears
he had attended ball in town, on Monday
evening, which accounts for his being out so
late.
LECTURE To-NIGHT.-The third lecture Of
the course, for the benefit Of the Methodist
Church, will be delivered by the Rev. VIM.
McClay, at the Theater, this evening. The
subject of the lecture is american Aristocra-
- cy," and we are informed by those who have
heard it, that it possesses rare literary merit,
a5ounding in wit, humor and satire. We have
no doubt that the Theater will be crowded.
ExcITEMENT.-The intelligence that an at
tack had been made on Fort Sumter was receiv-
ed here by telegraph about six o'clock yester-
day evening, and produced great excitement.
The dispatch commenced coming about seven
o'clock, and large crowd gathered around the
Democrat Office, and remained for an hour and
half, until the "extra" was issued, giving the
particulars as far as known.
MICHAEL LoGUE, for some ten years a resi-
dent of Nevada, died at San Francisco on Mon
day last, of consumption. He went to San
Francisco month or six weeks ago, hoping
that change Of climate would prove beneficial
TO his health. His remains were brought to
this county and inferred in the Catholic burial
ground, at Grass Valley, to-day. lie leaves a
wife and three children.
WE are indebted to our friend Billy Roberts
for the very acceptable present of a corkscrew
and goblet. Heretofore the attaches of the
Democrat Office have been under the necessity
of breaking off the necks Of the bottles and
drinking the contents from a gourd; but in flu
el,,n .,,ah,t IN
manner not to outrage the customs of civilized
communities.
New SToRE.-AIr. j. Rosenthal has lately
been below and purchased an immense stock Of
dry-goods, which are now being opened at Lu-
beck's old stand, on Broad street. The store
will be under the charge of Gen. Wulf, who is
well known in this community as an attentive
and gentlemanly salesman. We call attention
the advertisement in another column.
DIED.-Mr. Anthony Wayne, died at the
Hospital last night, from the injurious effects
of foul air in a tunnel, at North San JUAN He
was injured on the 18th inst, and though he
revived soon after being taking from the tunnel
his nervous system was so deranged that little
hope was entertained that he could recover.
