LOCAL MATTERS.


1t appears that Stephen L. Walworth sued Geo.
Williams for the recovery Of ga certain yellow
bob-tail bulldog" wrongfully detained BY the
said Williams, thereby damaging the plaintiff
in the sum Of seventy-fve dollars. The dog
was replevined and the case tried before Justice
Begg-Dibble & Sewers attorneys for plaintiff,
OConnor & Chapman for defendant The trial
occupied two days and, the jury gave judgment
in favor of the plaintiff The defendant being
dissatisfied with the judgment, has taken an
appeal to the County Court, and the citizens Of
Nevada, as well as Grass Valley, will have an
opportunity to be edited by the testimony and
arguments in this interesting case.
CITY ELRcTIoN.-The annual election for
city officers takes place on the 9th of May,
week from next Monday. In calling the cleo
ton, the Trustees have suggested the propriety
of testing the sense of the people, on the ques-
ton of rebuilding Pine street bridge, by voting
|'yes" or emo" on the tickets. The Trustees
have no authority for submitting the question
to vote, but the suggestion was made on the
supposition that two tickets for Trustees would
not be brought out, and to enable those who are
elected to form some idea as to the wishes Of
the people on the subject. If two tickets are
run there will Of course be no object in adopting
the recommendation.
MAY FRsTIVAL.-We learn that the Bap-
tist, Methodist, and Congregational Sabbath
Schools of Nevada have made arrangements
for picnic at Mr.. Hixson'sSgrove, on May
Day. The several schools will meet at the
brick church, at eight o'clock, A. NJ, where they
will form in procession and attended by the
brass band march down Main street to Com
mercial, up Commercial to Pine, up Pine to
Broad, up Broad and proceed to the place Sc
lected for their festal sports. All who are
friendly to the Sabbath school enterprise are
invited to attend.
HIS NAME.-The name of the man who died
in the Hospital on Wednesday night was An
thony Youn, instead of "Anthony Wayne"
as stated in our last. The persons who brought
him to the Hospital gave the latter as his
name, but it appears they were mistaken. A
brother-in-law of the deceased, who arrived
here on Wednesday, called on us yesterday,
and gave us his true name. Mr.. Yourn was
about thirty-seven years old, and native of
England, where he leaves a wife and two chill
dren. He had been in California about three
years,
Rich QUARTZ LEDGE.-We learn that a very
rich quartz ledge was discovered a few days
ago, near Wentworths mill, on Gold Flat The
ledge is about foot in thickness, and our in
formant says that he saw from three to four
dollars washed out Of one pan Of decomposed
rock. The ledge is owned by Geo. Baldwin
and others, who discovered it while engaged in
working surface diggings, and we hope it will
prove as rich as the Allison.
STILL MIssING.-Nothing has yet been
.ascertained Of the fate of Mr.. Weston, whose
mysterious disappearance from Selby Flat about
two weeks ago, was noticed in our Tuesdays
issue. His friends are confident that he was
murdered, and haze been securing the country
along the route between Selby and Kentucky
Flat, to find his body, but the search has thus
far proved unavailing.
AMENDRD.-The special act providing for
the better collection Of delinquent taxes in Ne
vada county, has been so amended as to do
away with the necessity of giving notice to de-
linquents. We leara that the District Attor-
ney continues to give notice in most cases, but
he is not compelled to do so, and those who
know themselves to be delinquent may save
considerable cost by paying up Immediately.
Doors AND SHoEs-Mr. S. Mayors, Of the
firm Of Mayors & Coe, has just returned from
the Bay, where he has purchased immense
stock of boots and shoes, and has paid particu-
lar attention to supplying the demand for la
dies and children's wear. The public are in
vited to call and examine their goods.
ELEGANT SIGMA tasteful and elegant
sign, painted by Mr.. S. Stout, was put up in
the meat market Of Jas. Coney, on Broad street
this morning. 1t is modelled after the sign
painted by Mr.. Lee for Kent & Tompkins, and
fully equals it in artistic merit.
PAPERS AND PERIODIcALs.-Messrs.H II. II.
Wickes & Co., of Broad street Book Store, re-
eeived their usual supply Of Eastern papers,
magazines, and illustrated periodicals., by the
steamer Golden Age.
