LOCAL MATTERS.

aware that any measurement is kept IN this
place of the quantity that has fell, but should
Judge it averaged four or five inches a day.
Yesterday morning, the streams were higher
than at any previous time since the winter of
1928, and the Sacramento, Marysville, For
est City and Orleans Flat stages, which started
Yesterday morning, were stopped on the way
by the swollen streams. The Sacramento
stage however, got in yesterday evening, in
good season, but the stage from Marysville was
unable to get through. We are informed that
the bridge at Parks Bar on the Yuba, has been
carried away. On Tuesday evening, the Sacra-
mento had raised but few inches at the city,
but from the quantity of rain that has fallen we
should judge the whole valley would be over
flowed. There was more water running down
Deer creek yesterday morning than is usually
running in the Sacramento during the summer
season. The rain appears to have extended all
over the State, and was much needed in the ag-
ricultural districts, where fears of a drouth
were entertained.
THEATRR.-The California Female Min
strels gave an entertainment at the Theateryes-
terday evening. In consequence of the bad
weather, or from some other cause there was
not a very large turnout. The company con-
sists Of five male and four female performers
one Of the latter being mere child. The per-
formances yesterday evening were passably
good; but the old jokes do not improve with
age, and number of the songs were by no
means novelty in Nevada. The violin solo
performed by Mr.. Edmonds, was very good,
and was attentively listened to by the audience.
The company left this morning for Grass VAL
ley, where they perform this evening.

SOME DIFFERENcE.-In paragraph in our
last in relation to the Pine street bridge, it was
stated that the Trustees were authorized to levy
