LOCAL MATTERS.

FIRE.-An old wooden building, situated on
bridge street, below Spring, was destroyed by
FIRE on Tuesday evening. The flames were
discovered about half past nine o'clock, and
had got under good headway before the alarm
WINS raised. The Pennsylvania Co. were first
on the ground, but the hydrant to which their
hose was attached had got choked up and
damaged so that it threw but small stream.
The Nevada Co. soon had another stream
playing on the flames, and the large crowd
that hadlcollected found quickly themselves in
darkness, and had to grope their way back to
Broad street. The Hook & Ladder Co. was
also early on hand, pulling the building to pie
ses. The building was unoccupied, and is sup
posed to have been set on fire purposely. Its
destruction is no loss, the residents of the
neighborhood being glad to have it out of the
way.
ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATToN.-The Odd
Fellows of Grass Valley have made arrange
ments for celebrating in becoming manner
the 43d anniversary of the introduction of the
Order into the United States. The celebration
takes place on the 25th, (to-morrow,) and the
exercises consist of procession, grafton, etc.;
the whole to conclude with ball in the even
iDg. We learn that large number of the
members of the order residing in Nevada pur-
pose attending, and taking part in the exercis-
es. We are requested to state that the Neva-
da members, desirous of joining in the process
sions, should NEE: at the Western Hotel,
in Grass Valley, at eleven o'clock where they
will be received by the Grass Valley members.
The degree of Rebekah will be conferred at the
Hall, at seven O'Clock in the evening.
TRIAL OF MULLIGAN.-The case of Thom-
as Mulligan, indicted for the murder of Reve-
ros, at Cherokee, was submitted to the jury at
noon yesterday, and after consulting twenty
four hours, and being unable to agree, they
we're discharged by the court to-day. The case
is set for second trial on Monday, May l4th,
and the cases Of Tracy and Mullen, indicted
with Mulligan, were set for hearing on the fol-
lowing day. White, having been sworn ON be-
half Of the State, cannot, of course be tried,
but he is still held as witness. There is little
doubt that the killing of Reveros was a most
diabolical murder, but as yet the District Attor-
ney has not been able to show up the facts.
TBNPERANcE.-The Grand Lodge of the
Sons Of Temperance is now in session at Ne
wda, representatives being present from the
several lodges in different parts of the State.

was delivered at the Baptist church, yesterday
evening, quite large audience being in atten-
dance, and another meeting will be held at the
Methodist church this evening. Professor
Henry Gibbons, of the University of the Pa
cifc, is announced to speak this evening, on
the injurious effects of alcohol.

yesterday to the effect that the small pox had
broken out among the Chinese population Of
upper Commercial street. We have made some
inquiries on the subject to-day, and cannot
learn that there is any truth in the rumor. AS
yet, we have heard of only one case Of this dis
ease in town-that,of the colored child brought
up from Marysville, to which we have hereto
fore alluded.
