LOCAL MATTERS.

- the report of their predecessors is perfectly
o..on;sbing. We are satisfied that the stand
;ro members of the Jury are not responsible for
.h;s change. But the truth is, that two of the
roo,,lar members were not summoned this time;
and their places were filled by two Republicans
,bo have no regard for anything, either in pol
;,;cs or literature, which, from its antiquity and
Common use, tbs masses have become familiar
With. They doubtless fatter themselves that
,be slight change in the last paragraph is an
;,,rroyement, but we do not think so. Aside
from the superior merit of the old one, as
literary production, our citizens had become so
familiar with its contents that it was not neces-
sarv to read it. We sincerely hope the next
Grand Jury will file the old report, copy of
,,hicb will be found recorded with the proceed
mos of each term of the Court of Sessions, for
the past five years.

mitted their final report on Saturday evening,
and were discharged. Indictments were found
as follows Henry Searls and Henry Plumer,
for murder; All XII, All Sing, and Sing 10y, for

cases, the defendants plead not guilty, and

Huntsman and Whittig, continued from last
term, are set for Monday and Tuesday next.
TELEGRAPHIC.-Mr.M Marks, of Orleans Flat,
received a dispatch at the Nevada Office yester-
dap off - - Al, -,
stating that he should sail in the steamer of
yesterday for California. The dispatch was re-
eeiyed here the same day it was deposited in
the New York Office, but the precise time oc-
Cupied in getting it through is not known. AS
dispatches coming from the Eastern cities to
California pass over the wires of several differ
ent companies, and have to be rewritten sew
eral times, there must be more or less deten-
ton on the way.
To TAx-PAYERs.-Property holders, who
have not yet settled their taxes, for this year,
should bear in mind that the delinquent list
will be handed over to the District Attorney on
Monday next, the 18th inst. That officer is re-
quired to bring suit Immediately against all de-
lnquents for the amount of taxes due, with five
per cent. added thereto, and for the costs OF
SUIT. The law, which was passed last winter,
Is imperative, and its provisions are such that
property holders will generally save double
their taxes by paying up before the list is
turned over to the District Attorney.
WRESTLING MATcH.-We understand that
another wrestling match is shortly to be given
aIracy's Pavilion, in this place, by the Nevada
wrestling Club. The wrestling will be in the
Cornish style. We are informed that several
celebrated English wrestlers are now in this
state, who will doubtless be present to contest
lor the prizes, from the fact that the Nevada
club have always paid the highest prizes, and
PAID them in gold. The time is not yet agreed
upon, but we are assured the match will come
on IN few weeks.
MALICIOUS MIscHIEF.-Some vagabond,
having no fear of the law, and evidently not
appreciating the benefits of light in dark
mght, in passing the gas works on Sunday
evening, threw missile at the burner which is |
Aep' on the corner of the building, demolishing
tue globe, and extinguishing the light, to the
s'e~' annoyance and injury of the owners
;;Jereoi. ;aS Such rascality deserves severe pun
NhIcKRN THIBvING.-Some thief made |
uescent upon a chicken house in the rear of the
