LOCAL MATTERS.

COUNTY FINANcEs.-The report OF the
Treasurer, published in another column, shows
the present Indebtedness of the county, and the
receipts and disbursements from November 18th,
1860, to February 9th, 1861. BY this it appears
that the outstanding warrants on the general
fund, including estimated interest, amounted
on the 9th inst $ll2, ,S25 o.; on the INDECENT
sick fund, $l6,9l4 2O-making total $l29,-
739 "a. Deducting from this the sum Of
S7,340 81, the amount Of cash balances on
hand belonging to the two funds at the date of
the report, and we have $l22, 1893 63 as the
present Indebtedness of the county. The total
Indebtedness of the two funds on the 10Th of
November last, deducting the cash balances,
was $l24,0S2 02-showing reduction of the
county debt in two months and half of
81 ,683 SO. 1t is probable that not less than
$4,000 of the special fund will be turned over
to the general fund, at the meeting of the Board
in May next
AFFRAY.-A fracas occurred about eleven
o'clock last night, at the house of "Irish Mag
gle" on Pine street, between Henry Plumer
and w. J. Muldoon. They got into fight, and
Plumer struck Muldoon on the head with pis-
tol, cutting cash in the scalp some three in
ches in length. Muldoon rushed out of the
house, and soon became so weak from the loss
of blood that he could scarcely stand. He was
then taken into Leonard's book bindery. on
Commercial street, and DIR. Meek was called in
to dress his wounds. About two o'clock in the
morning his attendants entertained some fears
that he might die, and Justice Smith was called
up to take down his "dying statement" of the
occurrence. His injuries, however, are not
considered dangerous. No arrest has been
made Mudoon formerly kept cigar store at
North San Juan. He is now at Baily's hotel
FATAL ACCIDENTAL miner named William
Mara was fatally injured near Grass Valley last
Monday night. He started about eleven o'clock
to work the night shift in some diggings. On
his way, his light was blown out, and he acci-
dentally fell into a shaft forty feet deep, dslo-
eating his spine and otherwise injuring him.
He laid there until the next morning, unable to
call for assistance. His friends commenced a
search for him early on Tuesday morning and
found him about nine o'clock. He was imme-
diateIy taken out and properly cared for, but his
injuries proved fatal. He died on Wednesday
morning. The deceased, we understand, was
native Of Ireland, and has family in the East
ern States.
EsCAPED.-A prisoner named David Thomp-
son, who was convicted at Lowell Hill week
or two ago, of stealing gun, and sentenced to
months Imprisonment, made his escape from
the chain-gang to-day. 1t appears that he was
troubled with a bowel complaint, and took adj
vantage of liberties allowed him to escape. He
is about thirty-fve years old dark complexion;
claims to be an Irishman, but has the appear
ance of being part negroi is about five feet
eleven inches in height, and has bad counte-
nance. A reasonable charge will be paid for
his arrest and delivery to the City Marshal, or
at the Jail.
SILVER EXCITRMENT.-We learn that there
is considerable excitement in Grass Valley, oc-
casioned by the discovery of more silver leads
in the vicinity of Rattlesnake creek. A large
number of people are engaged prospecting for
new leads, and several have been found which
bid fair to become valuable, according to the as
says.
DBPARTURR.-Mr. s. Lubbock, who for the
past two years has been engaged in the dry
goods trade at Nevada, has closed out his bust
ness, and departs tomorrow for San Francisco
He leaves large circle of friends to regret his
departure from our midst.
THE Martinetti Troupe give their first enter
tainment at the Nevada Theater this evening.
We learn that the box seats have all been en-
gagged, and the company will undoubtedly draw
crowded houses as long as they remain here.
PIE PLANTs.-The attention of gardeners
and house-keepers is directed to the advertise
ment of Mr.. I. Worthington, who offers for
sale some of the best varieties of pie plants to
be had in the State.
