LOCAL MATTERS.


SERIOUS AccIDENr.-Mr. Luman Hunt,
brother Of Drs. Harvey and r. NJ. Hunt, Of this
place, had his right hand terribly lascerated
yesterday, near Red Dog, by the accidental dis
charge Of gun. He was out hunting, and hav-
ing set his gun down, with his hand over the
muzzle, it accidentally went off, the charge
passing through the hand. DR.. H. Hunt went
up yesterday evening, and amputated the mid
die finger, and the patient is now doing well.
PERsoSAL.-Judge Belden arrived at Neva.
da, on Saturday evening, after an absence of
some weeks in Oregon. He went TO Oregon to
examine the country, with the view of making
his future home in that State. We have not
had an opportunity Of conversing with him
since his return, but as we have spent two sea-
sons in Oregon. and are somewhat acquainted
with the climate, we conclude that the Judge
cannot be otherwise than pleased with that
moist and salubrious quarter Of the globe.
FLAG RAISING on THB FoURrH.-we
learn that the citizens of the towns Of Eureka,
Orleans Flat, Moore's Flat, Lake City and
Nerth Bloomfield, have procured flags, and are
now making other necessary arrangements for
raising them, at each Of those towns, on the
Fourth of July. At nearly every settlement in
the county, the citizens have determined to
make patriotic demonstration Of some kind
On the Fourth.
RRCRUITs.-We learn from Mr.. Greene that
he has fifty names on the roll of the company
now being organized here for Col. Lippitts reg
iment, and including some that have been en-
rolled at Moore's Flat, and one or two other
places, there must be nearly enough to fill the
company. A dispatch from San Francisco says
that Col. Lppit has received Information from
Washington the that regiment will be called
into active service.
TOKEN OF REsPECT.-On receipt of the
intelligence of the death of Senator Douglas, all
the flags in Nevada were immediately draped in
mourning and lowered at hafmsst, where they
remained during the next day. Similar testi-
monies Of respect to the memory of the depar-
ted statesman were observed at North San Juan,
Cherokee, and we presume at all the other
towns in the county.
ANOTHER FLAG RAIsING.-The patriotic
ladies of Piety Hill have lately manufactured a
beautiful American flag, and fag-pole having
been procured and raised yesterday evening, the
