LOCAL MATTERS,

LIE ThILE fIGHT.-On our nrSt page VIII
be found full report ofthc late prize fight
between Matt. Tracy and Bill Blackwood.
Tracy was the victor, coming out of the fight
very little injured. while Bill Blackwood was
so badly used up that he had to be carried out
Of the ring. There was report in town yes
terday to the effect that Backwood had died of
the injuries received in the fight but there was
no truth in the report, and it was probably
started for the purpose of procuring the arrest
of Tracy and his seconds. We are informed
that Blackwood was on the street in Grass Val
ley, this morning, and apparently but little
injured.
RAIN.-Since about nine O'Clock yesterday
morning, it has been raining necessarily, and
during the most OF last night it poured down in
torrents. The rain has melted off large guam
titles of snow, which must tend to raise the
rivers to an unusual height. The roads in
many parts of this county are in bad condi-
ton, the bottom in some places having fallen
out, rendering them almost impossible. The
rain is still coming down as we go to press, and
the prospect of soon having pleasant weather.
is anything but fatering.
PERsoNAL.-The members of the Legisla-
ture from this county have all left for Sacra-
nento, to be present at the opening Of the ses-
sion on Monday next. Mr.. Spence left on
Tuesday morning last, Mr.. Eastman on
Wednesday, and Mr.. Watt was to have left
yesterday. The other members elect had pre-
ceded them.
ACADEMY.-We are informed that arrange
ments have been made for the establishment of
an academy at Indian Springs, in this county.
A teacher has lately arrived from the East! and
a suitable building is soon to be erected. The
enterprise is a commendable one, and we have
no doubt the institution will be literally sup
ported.
GAME.-Messrs. J. S. Wall and Ed. Harvey
started off on hunting excursion, last Wednes-
day, and returned this afternoon, bringing two
deer and large number of hares. The snow
in the mountains has driven the deer down
among the foothills, and game of almost every
kind is abundant.
FALsR.-The reports in circulation in Ne
vada to-day, affecting the character Of lady of
this place, we have reason to kilOtc are false
and without the least foundation. There is ev-
idence of the most conclusive and unimpeacha-
Die character to prove the falsity Of the reports.
CAMBRIAN SoNGsTERs.-A dispatch re-
ceiyed yesterday from San Juan, states that in
consequence of the illness Of Mrs. Jones. one of
the Cambrian Songsters, the performance of
that company, advertised for this evening, has
been postponed until Monday evening.
FRUIT TREEs.-If moisture is good for fruit
trees, as is generally supposed, now is an ex-
celent time to set them out. Our friends de-
srous of procuring trees, will do well to exam
inc the advertisement of Mr.. Smith, on our
first page.
DISTRICT CoURT.-This Court meets on
Monday next, but as the business lately on the
calendar is nearly disposed of, the Judge will
probably order an adjournment until the Feb
quary term.
COUNTY CoURT.-The regular term Of the
County Court commences on Monday next.
We learn that there is considerable business on
the calendar, and the Court will probably be in
session couple Of weeks.
Nor SATIsFIED.-We are informed that
Blackwood is dissatisfied with the manner in
which his late fight terminated, and is anxious
that Tracy shall give him another pummeling.
SEAMLESS CAPS are all the rage in Nevada,
just at the present time. Block & Co. sold
over hundred yesterday, disposing of their en-
tire stock.
