LOCAL MATTERS.

E,cArAs JArL.-Henry Plumer, who was
committed 10 Jail last Sunday morning for kill
;ov VIM. Riley, SSde his escape about five
o'clock yesterday AttesWOOn> n appears that
-om.n OF his Acquaintance had cOme to see
him. and was permitted 10 60 into the iailOr'S
,oom to talk with him through the CRATE, While
,b,v were conversiUg Mrs, Comfy came 10 see
A.r husband, who had been committed that
I,v for assault and battery. Mr., Burrell, who
had charge Of the jail, opened the iron door
and walked into the corridor 70 bring Comfy
out. and while his back was turned, Plumer
,,ppped out the door and walked off. He was
,een few minutes after, by Mr.. Rosenthal,
,,rossing down from West Broad street, by Nor
Glps stable, into the ravine, and some other
o.rson saw him about dark going in the direc-
,iou Of Sogg's quarts mill. There is no pros
o.et Of his being caught. The circumstances
connected with the killing OF Riley. as generally
understood, would hardly justify PIumer's con-
yietion for murder; but this being the second
man he has killed in Nevada, and knowing that
there vas strong prejudice against him in the
county, he doubtless thought il prudent not to
,;sk a trial. As Plumer had received pretty
.,yere cut on the head. and was then under the
care OF surgeon, the Sheriff hardly expected
.o unceremonious a leave-taking. II Plumer
shows as much tact in keeping away from the
county as he did in leaving the Jail, the COM
nuuity will have no particular occasion to de-
plore his departure, as the cost Of an expensive
trial would have probably resulted in still leav-
inc him here, most useless If not dangerous
man.
TKRArRR.-The plays of colleen Bawn "
and the "Octoroon" were presented at the Thea
ter on Tuesday aud Wednesday evenings, with
appropriate scenic appurtenances, and every
thing went off in good style. The house was

American Cousin" will be presented tonight
for the first time l.; Nevada. The Company

day evenings-playing OthellO on the opening
aiVhs. On Monday and Tuesday evenings the
company will play at Downieville, "COlleen
Bawn" and the "Octoroon" being the pieces
selected for that place. BY particular request,
Mr.. Buchanan has consented to give another
performance in Nevada next Thursday evening.
FoRegRY.-Patrick Kalahor was arrested
and examined yesterd ~, before Justice Smith,
charged with forgery in signing the name Of
Michael Nolan to a hill OF sale for town lot.
Nolan is unable to write his own name, and the
mark was duly attached; he says, however, that
he never made the mark nor authorized Kala-
nor to write his name. KalahOr, on the other
hand, admits that he wrote the name and made
do so BY Nolan. Justice Smith held the ac-
cused, in the sum Of 81, 900, to answer to the
charge before the next Grand Jury. He gave
the required bail aud was discharged.

Washoc yesterday, with load Of goods, and
while going down the hill near Turner'S mill,
the break gave way and he was thrown from
the wagon. His right arm was broken, and he
was otherwise badly bruised. DR.. H. Hunt
went up yesterday afternoon and adjusted the
broken bone, and the injured man was brought
back to Neada to-day.

ond degree, and sentenced TO ten years imprs-
Onment, have ordered a transcript of the pro-

the grounds on which the counsel rely for a
new trial.
