LOCAL MATTERS.

AFPRAY.-A serious affiay occurred yester-
day evening, in the drinking saloon Of C. P.
McCanlif, on Broad street. Patrick Nolan
and man named McGinnis, both decidedly
the worse for liquor, entered the saloon, and
Nolan managed to get into dispute with the
proprietor, and at length called him liar.
Upon this McCaulif struck him OH the fore
head with tumbler, cutting an ugly cash, and
il is feared, fractured the skull. McGinnis in
terfered in behalf of his friend, when McCauliff
turned on him, and no doubt would have given
him severe pummeling had not Sheriff Van
Hagan interfered and put an end to the dis
turbance. After it was ascertained that Nolan
vas dangerously injured, search was made for
McCaulif, but he was not found, and we learn
that the wounded man is considered out ofdan-
ger to day.
OFFICIAL VoTE.-We give in another col
umn, the official vote of the county-by pre-
cincts for Governor and Lieut.. GOvernor-and
the totals for the other candidates. The vote
for Controller and Clerk of the Supreme Court,
will give about fair average of the strength of
the three parties in the county. In conse-
auence Of an error IN some of the Breckenridge
tickets there is considerable falling off in the
vote of their candidate for Attorney General
and Surveyor General. A portion of the tick
eta were printed with the name of II. A. Hig-
iey for Attorney General, and the Surveyor
General was left off entirely. Quite a number
OF these tickets found their way into the ballot
boxes, in different precincts, and the vote was
reported as scattering.
OS A LARK.-Mr. John Dubois, an mfatua-
ted Frenchman, having imbibed pretty freely
yesterday, started out in the evening on bit
OF lark. At IA late hour Of the night, officer
Scott found him in China house on Broad
street, with the door barred, and engaged in the
pleasing pastime of breaking windows and
smashing things generally. The gentleman
was captured and furnished with lodgings for
the night in the city lookup. He was brought
before Justice Kendall this morning, who charg.
ed him nine dollars for his fun. His friends
paid the fine, and sent him home to reflect on
the folly of indulging too freely in befuddling
huids.
COUNTY AssEssMENT.-The assessed value
OF ofproperty in Nevada county, according to the
roll returned by the Assessor, amounts to
1926, 100. The supplemental assessment,
now nearly completed, will amount to about
S204, 900, making the total property valuation
Of the county $4,l9O, l6O. This is a slight in
crease over the valuation of last year. The
property tax, provided all is collected, would
amount to So, ,708 l2-S56, ,567 l6 for county
purposes, and $25, lao 96 the States proper
ton. Heretofore there has been a large de-
linouent list every year, but under the present
revenue law it is believed that nearly all can be
collected.
REcRU1TING.-Major Winne's cavalry COM
pany meets at the Nevada Theatcr this evening
This company has been recruited in Nevada
aud Sierra counties, and the roll now contains
ninety-five members. The company will go be-
low the latter part of this week, to be mustered

recruiting Offices are soon to be opened in Ne
vada-one 20 fill up another cavalry company,
and the other to organize an infantry company
