LOCAL MATTERS.


v.nderlieth's, on the Washington road, went
dno him, but which, fortunately for him, he
t,;led to obtain. On his return, by way Of the
Hornet Hill trail, he was stopped by two men,
.,,ned with revolvers, who demanded his money.
pare had with him the sum of fifty dollars and
tventy.fve cents the former of which was SO
oFectually concealed that, although the robbers
made dilligent search of his person, they fail
cd to find it. They took, however, the twenty
fve cents and his knife and tobacco, the latter
(which they subsequently returned, with the
threat that if they ever caught him out again
on such short allowance they would certainly
finish him. The men were partially disguised
nv having handkerchiefs tied over their faces,
hut Page thinks he recognized one of them.
DfxrE.-A party of well known secession
sympathisers, in this city, started out the other
night for the purpose of treating their friends
N a serenade. One of their first essays was at
the house of prominent citizen, who, unfor-
tunately for them, was absent, together with
all his family, leaving only All Fong, his Chi
uese cook and man-of-all-work in charge.
The seceshers made the air vocal with their
melody, wishing themselves many times over
"away, away, away down South in Dixie"
wish which was most cordially reciprocated by
the sleepy denizens Of that locality. John was
delighted with the serenade, but as he didn't
exactly "shabby" the whole proceeding he al
lowed his musical friends to depart without
informing them of the joke-to wit: that these
hi0h toned chivs had been wasting their musi-
cal talents on a contemplate Chinese Cody!
CHARGE OF GRAND LARcENY.-Hank Place,
the driver of the Omega stage, was arrested on
Sunday, on the complaint of S. Koszminsku,
charging him with grand larceny. The COM
painant has a store at Omega, and gave Place
some $4O0 worth of gold dust to bring to Ne
vada. In coming down, Place says he lost the
money, but Kaszminsku having doubts about
that statement, lodged a complaint against him
for larceny. The matter was finally settled by
Place paying the amount alleged to have been
lost. He was undoubtedly responsible for the
amount entrusted to his care, but it could not
have been made out case of larceny.
TIE TRorTING MATCH, between the horses
Of Lancaster and Watt, we are informed is pos
hvely to come off this afternoon, notwithstand-
ing the mud and snow is from six inches to a
foot in depth on the race track. The trotting
ofanimals over such track will be no test of
their speed; and we should not suppose that
either Of the parties would allow their horses to
go over the course, in the condition it is in to-
day, for the chance of winning the stakes.
Since the above was in type we learn that
the race came off at the appointed time, and
that Lancaster's horse won the money in three
straight heats.
DIPTHERIA.-Two Children of Mr.. and Mrs.
Herzinger we're buried this afternoon, one haV-
ing died on Sunday and the other yesterday.
Their deaths were occasioned by disease sup
posed to be dipthera, or putrid sore throat. We
have heard of no other cases Of this disease in
town, but during the present inclement weather
parents should be particularly careful of their
children, and not suffer them to be exposed too
much out of doors.
NOOhr OF OESSIONS.-lne case OF JOnn
Vintage indicted for assault with intent to
murder, was tried in the Court of Sessions yes
terday. The case was given to the jury at six
o'clock last evening, but being unable to agree,
they we're discharged this morning. The case
Of L. P. Huntsman, indicted for assault with
intent to murder, was taken up this morning,
Jury empanneled, and the trial is progress
ing.
SERIOUS ACCIDENTAL little son of Mr.. ].
Lancaster, aged about five years, was severely
injured yesterday afternoon. He was playing
near his fathers residence, on Boulder street,
when he fell some distance, his face striking on
pile ofrocks, and cutting several deep gashcs.
One cash cut over the left eye, it was feared at
nrst' would destroy the sight, but hopes are now
entertained of saving the eye.
