LOCAL MATTERS.

months since we received from Mr.. Warren. Of
French Corral, two bottles of his vegetable hair
restorative, the receipt Of which was duly chron-
icled at the time, with the promise, that when
its virtues had been properly tested we would
publish the result of our experiments, that 9TH
ers might have the benefit of our experience.
One Of the subjects on which we experimental.
had head as destitute of the usual top-dress-
ing as billiard ball, and, in fact, very much
resembed, barringt the size, the "pale red" By
repeated applications Of DIR. Warren's tonic,
as per directions, we are grati6ed in being able
TO state that this once polished scalp is now
covered with fine growth of hair, making
decided improvement in its appearance. In
our next experiment we were not as successful.
yet we do not attribute the failure in this in
stance entirely to the mixture. This was
case of grey hairs. which, in ordinary caseG, we
have no doubt this vegetable preparation would
restore to its natural color, but our subject, be-
ing of very pious turn of mind, it did not
have the slightest effect. Nothing short of
mineral compound would produce any change
on him.

our citizens were present yesterday evening, to
hear the brilliant lecture Of r. Starr King on
"Webster and his Defense Of the Constitution"
The delivery of the lecture occupied nearly two
hours, and was we'll received by the audience

on Friday evening he will deliver his lecture on
the "Life and Humor of Socrates" at the The

ANNIvERsARY.-To-day is the anniversary
Of the emancipation of the slaves on the Island
Of Jamaica. The day is generally observed by
the colored population in this State. We have
not heard Of any arrangements for celebrating
the day in Nevada, but we saw this morning
gentleman ofpure African descent in slightly
inebriated condition, dressed in his Sunday
clothes and driving fast nag, indicating that
something unusual was on foot
CHURCH DBDICATIoN.-We learn that the
citizens of Blue Tent and vicinity have recent
ly erected church at that place, which will be
dedicated by Revs. Grove Deal and Briefly on
Sunday next. The dedication services will be
held at o'clock p. NJ. The church is intended
for all denominations, and will doubtless be Oc-
eupied every Sabbath by the different clergymen
Of the county.
DRLIRIUM TREMRNs.-A man named VIM.
Knox, suffering with delirium tremens, was
confined in the county Jail this morning. lie
had been on a steady spree since the Fourth,
but stopped drinking on Monday last, and the
revulsion has rendered him completely insane.
When brought into town this morning he ap-
peared to be suffering the most excrusiating
torments.
FRUIT ESTLVAL.-1n ne IduieS COnnecltu
with the Baptist Church give fruit festival at
Temperance Hall this evening, and we doubt
not the occasion will be an attractive one. The
proceeds of the festival are to be appropriated
in liquidation of a small debt against the
church, and we trust enough will be realized
for that purpose.
COUNTY BUsINRss.-The regular meeting of
the Board of Supervisors, for the transaction of
general county business, will commence on
Monday next. Among other business for this
term, viii be the establishment of election pre-
