COMPANY H.-The members ofCapt. Grcene's
company, residing in the vicinity of Nevada. left
here yesterday and to-day, in the Marysvile
stages, for San Francisco. Capt. Greene has
gone to San Juan, with the intention of starting
down with the remainder tomorrow. This
company was at one time full, but in conse-
quence of the delay in calling them into service
quite number had left. Others have since
Joined, however, and Capt. Greene informs us
that he will have no difficulty in enlisting the
requisite number. They expect to serve on the
Plains for time, but the most of them antici-
pate oelng called East in the course of few
months.
RUNAwAY.-The horses attached to Mr..
Reyes milk wagon became frightened Sunday
afternoon, and rushed down Broad street at
break-neck speed-the milk cans flying in every
direction. just before reaching Pine street,
the wagon was thrown over upon the horses,
one Of which fell to the ground, and the by
ISLANDERS managed to catch and hold the other
until they were embarrassed. The wagon was
pretty well broken to pieces, butthe horses were
apparently but little injured.
FIRE ENGINE.-We learn that Pennsylvania
Co. No. have sent an order to San Francisco.
accompanied by the money, for the purchase of
a fire engine, for the use of the company. An
engine company is entitled to sixty-four men,
bers, while hose company is entitled to only
twenty-five. BY this means, the efficiency of
the Fire Department will be materially i'm
proved, without any increase OF the expenses.
SPEAKING.-Leland Stamford, the Republi-
can candidate for Governor, and Messrs. E. B..
Crocker and ]. c Zabriskie, are announced to
speak in Nevada this evening.

RICH QUARTZ LEAD.-Mr. G. w. Colby
informs us of the discovery of very rich
quartz lead, on the opposite side Of the Yuba
from Snow Point and about two miles from
the town of Minnesota. Mr.. Geo. Fellows,
who had been watching the lead for a year or
two, took up claim and commenced working
it in March last. He sunk shaft, and at
point where he struck the lead, came upon a
rich pocket, out Of which he is known to have
taken $ll 900. This was obtained by merely
pounding up the rock in a hand mortar, and
washing it out in pan. Mr.. +. having in
formed Colby of the discovery, the latter took
up and recorded four claims-for himself, and
Messrs Pattison and Philip of Nevada, and
Mr.. Briggs, of Orleans Flat. The latter COM
pany having run tunnel into the lead, have
lately struck another pocket out OF which they
have already taken three -four sacks of the
richest kind of decomposed quartz. From
some average specimens sent to Nevada, it is
estimated that the three -four sacks Of rock will
yield from $4,000 to $4,000 in gold. We
learn that Mr.. Fellows has erected a mill near
the lead, and has taken out considerable
quantity of rock which, it is thought, will pay
several hundred dollars ton. We congratu-
late the owners upon their good luck, and hope
they will find few more pockets.
FREAK OF CRAZY MAN.-An insane
man named Gillespie, who has been permitted
to perambulate the streets of Nevada for many
months past, being harmless and generally
quiet, created considerable excitement at the
Methodist church on Sunday last. After the
religious services had closed, and the Sunday
School opened, the building being full OF
children. Gillespie walked down the aisle, step
ped into the pulpit, and picking up the Bible
threw the good book with all his force across
the room, exclaiming, "The highest power on
earth spurns the Bible" The children were
considerably shocked and frightened at the
freak, but the unfortunate man was immediate
ly led out of the room by number of men
who were present, and the little folks soon
Iegained their equanimity.
MEET No AT GRASS VALLEY.-From gen
tlemen who went to Grass Valley Yesterday
evening, we learn that there was large turn
out Of the citizens Of that town and vicinity, to
hear the speeches OF Messrs. Conness and
Edgerton. The speakers were received with
enthusiasm, and with the exception OF an oc-
casional impertinent question from political
opponents, their remarks were listened to at
'entiyely.
CONCERT AND BALL.-We direct attention
to the notice of Mr.. Schmeidschneider, in an.
ether column, who has made arrangements for
aEand promenade concert and ball, to come off
at Temperance Hall, on Tuesday evening, the
2lth inst. Mr.. S. has secured the services Of a
band of musicians, and under his direction the
concert and ball must be a success.
For WAsHoE.-Eight OK teams, heavily
loaded with steam engines, machinery, ETC.,
passed through Nevada on Sunday last, for
"ashoe, by way of the Henness Pass. The
'0ad is now being rapidly completed, and the
work is already so far advanced that the heav-r
'est teams can pass without difficulty.
