LOCAL MATTERS.

MOUNT ORo.-A gentleman down from nj.
Orc, informs us that the Pony Express Com
pany, whose claims adoin those Of Yorty & Co.
and who have been engaged for the past six or
eight months in running tunnel, struck
through the rim-rock on Saturday last, and
found the gravel in what has the appearance of
being the bed of an ancient stream. Our in
formant left soon after the company got through
consequently we have no information as to how
the gravel prospects. The Yorty Company are
drifting out the gravel in their claims, and we
are informed are making good pay. The Black
Hawk Company, whose claims are above, and
adjoining orty's S, are pushing ahead their tun-
mel, making about foot a day in the bedrock.
MARTINBTTI TRoUPE.-By notice in an
other column, it viii be observed that the Mar
tinetti Troupe will appear at the Theater in
Nevada on Thursday evening next The COM
pany consists of over thirty performers and
their entertainments have been the wonder and
admiration of all who have beheld them. This
is the same company, with one or two changes,
that gave entertainments in this place some
years ago. They have recently returned from
the Atlantic States, and have been performing
to crowded houses at San Francisco, Sacrament
to, Marysyille, and other places. 1t is merely
necessary that the public should know of their
arrival to insure crowded house in this place.
Fatal ACADEMIA fatal mining accident
occurred near Chalk Bluff, about ten o'clock,
Yesterday morning. Two men named David
Essex and Geo. Nichols, while at work in hy-
draulic diggings, were buried by the caving of
the bank. The miners in that vicinity immedi-
atey went to work to extricate the unfortunate
men, and succeeded in taking Nichols out alive,
but Essex was dead when they reached his body.
He was probably killed instantly. DR.. r. NJ.
Hunt, who was sent for to attend Nichols, in
forms us that he was severely bruised but will
recover.
HAIR REsToRATIvE.-We have received
from Mr.. Warren, of French Corral, two large
bottles of "Warren's Hair Restorative" He
informs us it will turn gray hair to its natural
color, and produce a new crop on bald pate.
AS one of the attaches of our office is gray as
badger, and another is bare-footed on top of his
head, we in condition to. test the virtues of
the mixture. If it produces the effect stated by
the manufacturer, we shall duly inform the
public.
PosTPoNED.-It will be noticed by an adver
tisement in another column, that Mons. Liebert
has postponed his presentation rattle, until Sat
urday evening" March %. The postponement
became necessary in consequence of the bad
weather interfering with the sale of tickets, and
a larger number of unsold tickets than expec-
ted were returned from the country. The draw
ing will take place at the Metropolitan Theater,
at the time stated, without fail.
ExcITEMENT.-Quite an excitement was oc-
casioned about eight o'clock yesterday evening,
by the cry of "m urder!" proceeding from near
the corner Of Pine and Commercial streets, and
loud enough to be heard nearly all over town.
A crowd Immediately rushed to the spot and
found the noise was occasoned by drunken
man, whom officer Rider was endeavoring to
take to the lookup.
AcoUITTED.-Mrs. Deba Kempton, of Grass
Valley, who was indicted at the last session of
the Grand Jury for arson, in setting fire to
building adjoining her own, was tried in the

the act was committed, but as little evidence
was adduced by the prosecution, the plea Of in
sanity was not set up.
