LOCAL MATTERS.


ID house at the Theater on Thursday evening,
and considering the storm, good attendance
,,,t night The paintings are SO much superb
or 10 any Of the kind ever pefore exhibited in
,h;s place that those who see them once can
..Idom resist the temptation to attend sec-
and time. Among the prizes to be distributed
,bs evening to such of the spectators as
chance to hold the lucky numbers, are lady's
hunting case gold watch; gold clasp Bible,
v.lued at S25 gold bracelet, S$l5, and twen-
~ or thirty other prizes, consisting of books,
articles ofjewelry, etc.
N LUcK.-In the distribution Of prizes at
tbe Panorama, on Thursday evening, it was
our fortune to hold the number that drew the
large family Bible. On Wednesday evening
tbe Bible was drawn by Mr.. 7. G. Battaile,
and Yesterday evening it fell to Mr.. A. II. Jen-
kns. There seems to be remarkable appro-
puateness in the chance which thus judiciously
circulates the good book among those who can
most profit by its divine teachings. Mr..
Morrison remarked when he handed the book
~ the last named indiyidual-he "loooked as
though he needed it more than any one in
town." "That lets as out"
COURT OF SEssIoNs.-Ye esterday, in the
case Of All Sing, two of the members of the
Court being of the opinion that there was a
separation of the jury while consulting on
their verdict, the motion for a new trial was
granted. The District Attorney gave notice of
an appeal on the part of the prosecution, to
the Supreme Court. All Ki, convicted of
grand larceny, was sentenced to three years
Imprisonment in the State Prison. The case
fG. r. Lancaster, charged with violation of
the Sunday law, is on trial to-day.
TURKEY SHooTING.-A shooting match
came off on Thanksgiving Day, at which
number of our crack marksmen distinguished
themselves by bagging ffty-fve turkeys. Mr..
VIM. L. Tisdale shot thirteen, Mr.. 2. p. Davis
eight, and Mr.. Varney fve They were put up at
distances of seventy rods, at two bits shot;
and notwithstanding the large number killed,
enough shots were fred to make it paying
thing.
THE PRIzE.-Mr. Tisdale took the prize at
the shooting match OF Thursday. This is owing
in part, doubtless, to his having the best gun
that was on the ground. His rife was made
to order by Mr.. Varney, and we would say to
that gentleman, if he is desirous Of keeping up
his reputation of being the best shot in the
county, he must be more particular about the
quality of the guns he manufactures to order.
SHERIFF's SALEs.-The Grass Valley, Ma
tiOnal complains of the Sheriff for refusing to
allow the advertisements of sales OF property in
that township to be published in the local pa
per- Considering the very "liberaP course
of the Sheriff towards the Nevada Journal,
complaints from the Grass Valley paper come
with bad grace.
GOOD TIME.-A letter ras received in this
city yesterday, which had been 27 days on its
way from Nicolaus, Sutter county, including
IL days from Grass Valley where it was re-
mailed. II is supposed to have come by the
angle-worm route from the latter place.
TURKEY-Mr F. H. Fisher sent us very
hne turkey on Thursday last. But for the
thoughtfulness of Mr.. Fisher our Thanksg:v-
ing dinner would doubtless have consisted prin-
eiPally OF tough beef steak and potatoes.

slve assortment of new books, stationary, pock- |
Ct diaries and almanacs for 1862 and other
