LOCAL MATTERS.

SUDDEN DEATH.-A man named E. J.
Mitchell died suddenly at the United States
Hotel, between eleven and twelve O'Clock last
night. He had been sick during the day yester-
day, but was not considered dangerously i'll,
and retired to his room at an early hour.
About eleven o'clock he came out into the hall,
considerably agitated, and said he believed he
had taken poison instead Of medicine. He was
soon after taken in convulsions, and died IN
about half an hour. 1t appears that he got a
dose Of quinine of DR.. Clebourne, yesterday,
but it is not known that he had any other med
icine. Coroner Henry, summoned jury this
morning, to investigate the case, and an inquest
is now being held. Mr.. Mitchell leaves a
family at Sacramento, but we are informed
that he has been living at Grass Valley for
month or two past. He had been in Nevada
only day or two. A dispatch was sent to his
wife this morning, and she telegraphed back
that she would start from Sacramento this
afternoon for Nevada.
Since the above was in type, we learn that
the jury brought in verdict that the deceased
came to his death from some cause unknown.
RECRUITs.-We learn from Mr.. Green that
over thirty persons have enlisted in this county,
to join COL Lippitt's regiment, and it is be-
lieved that fun company will be enrolled. Mr..
Greene's headquarters is at the Theater build
ing on Main street, and parties thinking of en-
listing can receive all necessary information by
T.. RI
distance Of this State from the seat of war, not
many are disposed to enlist; but if call was
made on California for volunteers, with the
certainty of being Immediately mustered into
service, we could turn out as many soldiers as
any State in the Union in proportion to our
population.
THE FoURTH.-The arrangements for cele-
brating the Fourth in this place are progressing
favorably. 1t has been definitely determined to
have public dinner and a display of fireworks
in the evening, and we believe most of the diff
ferent societies have signifed their intention to
participate in the exercises. The committee
appointed to collect subscriptions purpose call
ing upon those who have subscribed tomorrow,
and it is desirable that all should be prepared
to pay over their subscriptions when called
for.
PERsoNAL.-We had the pleasure yesterday
of meeting Lorenzo Sawyear, Esq, formerly
practicing lawyer Of this place. and well
known to the old residents of the county. He
left here, if we mistake not, in 1858, resided
five or six years at San Francisco, where he ac-
quired a lucrative practice, and for the past two
years has been sojourning in Illinois. Al
though the population of Nevada has much
changed since his departure, he is cordially
greeted by many an old acquaintance.
PH1LIP's ExPREss.-We learn that Mr..
Phillip that attentive expressman to Alpha,
Washington and Omega, has determined to
run a daily express to those points. He leaves
Nevada every evening, on the arrival of the
Sacramento stage, and returns the next morn
ing.
FALSE REPoRT.-The rumor mentioned in
our last, that Mr. Pendleton had been murdered
near Alleghenytown, turns out to have been
false He arrived in town yesterday morning,
safe and sound.
LEcTURE.-We learn that Rev. Mr.. Deal has
made arrangements with I. Starr King to de-
liver his lecture on Webster" in this place,
on Thursday evening next, one week from to-
night.
EPISCOPAL SERvIcEs.-Rev Bishop Kip,
Of the Episcopa! Church, will hold religious
services at the brick church, in this place, on
Sunday next.
