LOCAL MATTERS.

pRoyfsf0Ns.-On Tuesday last, the pro-
nrietors of the Nevada FIGURING Mill raised the
triee Of -four to nine dollars per hundred. This,
of course, had tendency to create alarm, and
.0,uv would have laid in six months supply,
oven at that price, if they could have got it. As
,oon as the price was raised, number of our
r0srchants sent orders to San Francisco for
eour. with the intention of packing Il up from
Eliza II the roads were not passable for teams.
Mr.. Beans ordered a thousand sacks which will
be M in the course of week. 1t can be pack
od mn and sold for seven dollars hundred, and
1.-THE pleasant weather continues for three days
4 will be down again to five or six dollars.
There is not now, and never has been, the
.liOhtest danger of famine, although some
articles of groceries were scarce. We should
advise people to use up what -four they have on
hand before purchasing any more at nine dol
lars hundred.
THE WEATHER.-A heavy rain prevailed all
of Tuesday night, and from three till seven
o'clock yesterday evening. During the fore
part Of the day it rained only at intervals, and
not very hard. Nevada being located in a basin,
with high hills all around us, we can form but
little idea here as to the direction of the wind.
But gentleman who was on the ridge leading
to Washington, informs us that about noon,
Yesterday, the wind changed from the south
east to southwest, and if it continues in the
latter direction we may expect few days of
moderately pleasant weather. For several days
the weather has been quite warm, the ther-
mometer ranging from so deg. 20 So deg. above
zero, but has been some six or eight degrees
cooler to-day. There was very little rain after
seven o'clock last night, and the sun came out
this morning and has been visible the most of
the day.
SrAeING.-The Marysville stage arrived in
town about three o'clock yesterday afternoon,
and as this was the first arrival for four days,
Doty, the driver. was greeted with cheers as he
drove through the streets, and after hauling up
at the Postofice, was soon surrounded by a
crowd of anxious inquirers for the condition of
affairs below. The stage brought the mails,
containing few letters and papers, but no ex-
press matter. 1t is the intention of the stage
company to keep the stage running regularly to
Marysville, but at present they will not be able
to carry anything but the mails. In the present
condition of the roads it will take two days to
make the trip; but if we should have a few days
pleasant weather, as there is now some prospect,
the regular daily trips will be resumed.
FLoUR.-An item in this mornings Tran
script, informs the public that Mr.. Torson has
concluded to sell -four, to every one who wants
it, as long as his present stock holds out! Of
course he will. No one would suppose he was
fool enough to hold on for further rise, after
having put it up to nine dollars a hundred.
The sooner he sells his "only twelve days sup
ply" @ the more money he will make.
NEWSPAPER FAvoRs.-Mr. Spencer, news
dealer Of Grass Valley, sent us, yesterday eve
ming, copies Of the Sacramento Union of Tues
day. and s. F. Bulletin of Saturday, for which
We are under many obligations.
We are also under obligations to Wells,
Fargo & Co. FOR copy of the Marysville Ex-
press Of yesterday.
QUARTz.-Mr. A. J. Doolittle has shown US
aspecimen of rich quartz taken from a vein re-
Gently discovered in his diggingS at Willow
Valley. The vein is about eight inches thick,
eligibly situated for working, and may prove
valuable.
LETTBRs.-We stated, few days ago, that
1880 letters had been received at the Nevada
POstofice, in six months ending on the first Of
January. This was mistake; instead of being
received here, that number was sent from this
Office in the time stated.
RETURNED.-Mr Blenis, newspaper agent,
and Mr.. Philip, expressman, who started for
Aarysville Tuesday morning, made the trip,
and got back to Nevada, with their papers, at
four o'clock this afternoon.
PosTPoNED.-The concert, for the benefit Of
the sufferers by the food, has been postponed
until next Wednesday evening, the 29th inst.
