NEVADA LInRARY.-Mr. Chas. Marsh will
co beIow the first cf next week, and will take
with him about two hundred dollars in money,
belonging to the Nevada Library Association,
for the purchase of books for that society. This
amount will be sufficient to purchase all the
late publications Of light literature, and leave
quite an amount to be invested in works of a
more substantial character. The Nevada Lii
brary is now an institution worth patronizing,
and there are many in this community who
should ioin it, and not throw the burden upon
a Few individuals, of keeping up the insti-
tuition of the town.
COUNTY BUsINEss.-The regular term of
the Board of Supervisors commences on Mon
day next. Parties having business before the
Board, should attend to it in the fore part of
the week, as there is not great deal Of bus
ness at this term, and the Board will be in scs-
sion only few days, BY a special act of the
Legislature, it is made the duty of the Board to
levy the war tax at this term. It amounts to
fifteen cents on the hundred dollars, and those
who have already paid their taxes on personal
property will be liable to pay the war tax in
addition.
QUARTz.-Some weeks ago we chroncled
the discovery of a gold-bearing quartz ledge,
on Gold Flat, by Messrs. Sheath K Clay, which
gave every indication of being immensely rich.
They have recently had eight tons of the rock
crushed at the old Wigham mill, on Gold Flat,
which yielded thirty-eight dollars a ton. This
is nothing like what the rock was expected to
turn out, but even at that rate it will pay well
for working. The owners, not being satisfied
NTH tha facf havn have
few tons crushed at the mill of the Nevada
Quartz Mining Company.
RAIN.-Aher cool and cloudy day on the
lst, it commenced raining about eight o'clock
in the evening. During the night there were
several heavy showers, and the rain continued
steadily all day yesterday and last night. The
sun has been shining portion of the time to-
day. but the weather is still unsettled. By dis
patches in the Sacramento papers, it appears
the rain has extended pretty much over the
northern and central portions of the State.
1t was much needed in the valleys, where the
crops we're beginning to suffer for the lack Of
moisture.
RELIGIoUs.-Rev. Mr.. Cummings has so
far recovered from his late illness as to re-
sumo services at the brick church, on next Sab
bath morning, at eleven o'clock. The Annual
Meeting of the Association of Congregational
Ministers will be held in this city, on Wednes-
day next, May 7th, at the brick church, at nine
o'clock, A. NJ. There will be preaching at the
church on Tuesday evening the 9th, and on
Wednesday evening the annual sermon will be
deliyered-services at half-past seven o'clock.
COUNTY ORDERs.-Parties who have coun-
ty orders, on the general fund, can probably
dispose of them at par, by snnendering them
to the county. There is now $4,000 in the
special fund, which can be used for the re-
demption of orders. The advertisement for
proposals will be seen in another column. The
uds will be opened on Monday, and must be
handed to the Auditor before Monday morning.
For THE EAsT.-We have received note
from Mr.. ]. E. Hamlin, from San Francisco, in
which he informs us that he had made arrange
ments to leave on the steamer of the lst, for the
kaSt. He will probably be absent several
months.
ROBBED About nine o'clock Thursday
crening, Mr.. Henry Hixson was stopped by
couple Of individuals, near the head OF East
Broad street, and robbed of two bits-all the
money he had with him.
