LOCAL MATTERS.

AccIDENTs.-Yesterday evening, John Sale
and Harry Cady started for Rough & Ready,
with span of horses and buggy. The horses
got frightened from some cause, about a mile
below Grass Valley, and ran away, breaking
the buggy to pieces, and severely injuring Mr..
Sale. Mr.. John Lancaster was pretty badly
hurt about the same time, and near the same
place. He left Nevada in buggy, with two
other gentlemen, and while travelling at a rapid
rate, it being dark at the time, the horses got
out of the road, and the end of thepole came
in contact with stump, breaking it into three
pieces. One piece flew back and struck Mr..
Lancaster in the face, stunning him, and
knocking out one of his teeth. The horses
broke loose from the buggy and ran off, but
were recovered this morning.
FOR PRTTY LARcENY.-Ah Sha, a China
man, was arrested some weeks ago, for steai-
ing goods from the store of L. NJ. Cohn, on
Commercial street. On his examination be-
fore Justice Smith, it was shown that the goods
we're worth just about fifty dollars, and the
Celestial thief was accordingly committed to
Jail for grand larceny. From the evidence be-
fore the Grand Jury, however, it did not appear
that the stolen property was of sufficient value
to make the theft grand larceny, and he was
accordingly discharged on that charge, and
will now be tried for petty larceny.
RE-ARREsTED.-Some two months ago, Cla-
IA Thompson was arrested and examined on a
charge of stealing diamond breast-pin from
Henry Hyer. She was examined, but the evil
dence not being regarded as sufficient to war
rant conviction, she was discharged. 1t ap-
pears, however, that additional evidence has
lately been discovered, and the Grand Jury
having found an indictment against her, she
was re-arested yesterday evening on bench
warrant. An order was made to-day, admit
ting her to bail, on giving bonds in the sum Of
500.
PINE STREET BRIDGE.-The bill authoriz-
ing the Town Trustees to levy special tax for
the purpose of constructing bridge at the foot
of Pine street, passed the Assembly on Tuesday
last. The tax is not to exceed fifty cents on
the hundred dollars valuation; and with the
amount thus realized, and some that can be
raised in addition, tbs believed that a substan-
tal bridge can be erected.
KILLED.-This morning, as gentleman and
lady we're riding up Broad street, they were
suddenly surrounded by about fifty barking ours,
one OF whom got himself under the hoofs Of the
lady's horse, and was killed. The town is so
we'll supplied with dogs that the loss of one,
now and then, is not regarded as public ca
lamity.
DIED.-Joseph Rider, who was shot at Grass
Valley on the 25th ult, in a street fight with
John Perkins, died about ten o'clock last night
from the effects of the wound. The ball passed
through his thigh, and though no bones were
broken, the wound from the first was regarded
as dangerous.
In TowN.-Lieut. Henry A. Wise, of the u.
S. Navy, and John Wise, Of San Francisco,
arrived in Nevada yesterday evening. To-day
they have been examining the mines in the
vicinity Of town.
DGsCHARGED.-TheG Grand Jury having failed
to find an indictment against John Long, charg-
ed with the murder of William Marshal, at
Webber's Bridge. he was discharged from Gus
tody this afternoon.
