LOCAL MATTERS,

Town FINANCRss-We publish in another
column the report of the Trustees showing the
receipts and expenditures Of the town govern
ment for the past six months. The total re-
ceipts during that period, it viii be observed,
was 81 ,343 90; the total expenditures 81 1923 25
But small portion of the property tax for the
current year is included in the receipts, while
the expenses are the same as usual. The total
expenses for the year ending in May, will not
be far from $1,000; and unless something
should occur calling for unusual expenditures
the town by that time viii be nearly free of
debt. The property tax for the current year is
now due, and the bulk of it will doubtless be
paid on or before the third Monday in this
month, as extra costs will be charged on all
taxes unpaid at that time.
THE CAMBRIAE SoNGsTERs.-This COM
pany gave an entertainment at the Nevada
Theater yesterday evening, according to an
nouncement. The audience was not large, but
we presume enough was realized to pay expen-
seS. The singing was very ordinary, and did
not rise above what might be expected at a
country school exhibition. The gentlemen are
extremely awkward on the stage, and their
style of music is not calculated to please an au-
dience The ladies have good voices and while
singing in the drawing-room and church choir
doubtless excel but as Artemas Ward would
say, stage singing is not their forte.
AN OWNER WANTED.-Some time in July
last, tombstone was left with the firm of
Gregory & Boring, of this place, ON which was
,neorikod fbo Of DurlboIdor rLo
died March 18th, 1860, aged so years and IL
days. 1t was brought up from Marysyille by
McCue's stage, the driver stating that the own
er would call for it in few days; but it still
remains with Gregory & Boring, and was proba-
bly, sent here by mistake. Should this item
meet the eye of the owner, or any person ac-
quainted with the deceased, they will know
what has become of the tombstone.
IMPORTANT REDUoTIoNs.-Block & Co.
have reduced the price of caps and clothing, an
important item to those who are short Of funds
Lebert has reduced the price of pictures,
very important item, also, to those who fatter
themselves they look well ON pasteboard or
glass but the most important reduction for
1861, is that made by Wheeler K Wilson on
sewing machines. These machines, which
have become almost indispensable for family
use, are now sold at a reduction of twenty-five
per cent on the former prices.
Notwithstanding the storms
have been unusually severe this winter, the Sac
ramento stages have reached Nevada regularly
every evening, and at an earlier hour than usu-
al at this time of year, and the travel in the
mountains above here has not been interrupted
to the extent it has during past winters. The
increased facilities for winter travel are Fprinci-
pally owing to the Improvements made on the
roads
Book B1NDING.-We regret to learn that
Mr.. Frank Leonard is about to give UP his bus
mess of book binding. 1t is great convent
ence in county like Nevada to have an estab-
lishment Of the kind, as people are thereby in
duced to have bound their magazines, papers,
etc, which would otherwise be destroyed. But
the business is not sufficient to warrant keep
ing up such an establishment
WASHINGTON MONUMENT BALL.-We un-
derstand that number of ladies Of this place,
who have taken an interest in procuring sub
scrptions for the Washington Monument, have
agreed to meet next Monday evening, to make
the preliminary arrangements for ball to be
given for the benefit of the fund. 1t is propos-
ed to have the ball come off on the anniversary
Of Washington's BIRTH February 22d.
THEATRICAL.-Mrs. Julia Dean Hayne is
announced to appear at the Nevada Theater
tomorrow and Saturday evening. The play of
the "Hunchback" will be performed tomorrow
evening, Mrs. Hayne appearing as Julia. She
is supported we are informed, by talented
company, and will unquestionably draw good
houses as long as she plays in Nevada.
FIRE.-About noon to-day, stove-pipo in
the back room of Finnie's feed store, on Com
mercial street, fell down, setting the cloth lin
ing on fire. The building was soon filed with
smoke, an alarm was raised, and the fire COM
panies turned out but the fire was soon extin-
gushed by the inmates Of the building before
any damage was done.
HOSE HoUsR.-Messrs. Kent & Mackay are
putting the finishing touches on the Pennsylva-
MIA Hose Cos. building, and we understand
viii have their contract completed by to-mor-
row or next day. The company will move in
