LOCAL MATTERS.

RoBBERIES AT OMEGA.-Several daring
robberies and burglaries have lately been per-
petrated at Omego. A week or two ago. the
cabin of Conrad Grissel was broken omen, in
the daytime, and robbed of about SlOO in coin,
which Mr.. G. left in a purse under his pillow
Last Friday night, the sluice boxes of Messrs.
Hook & Johnston were cleaned up, and it is
supposed the robbers got from $l0O to $50 in
amalgam. A night or two ago the store Of Mr..
Hines was broken open, but fortunately the
burglars earned all the money they got. The
Williams entered the building by digging hole
through the brick wall, and made desperate
effort to cut through the iron safe, but did not
quite succeed. They laid the safe on some -four
sacks, and by means of tools which they had
probably brought with them, cut a hole, about
four inches square, through the outside iron,
dug out the cement, and commenced cutting
the inside iron, but it is supposed that daylight
came too soon for them to complete the lob,
and taking some SIG or $lS in silver, which
had been left in the money drawer, they open.
ed the back door and left. The safe contained
about $1,000 in gold dust, which the burglars
were after, but didn't get. Mr.. Hines was in
the store writing until about IL o'clock, and the
work must have been done between that time
and morning.
VALUABLE MAP.-Mr. NJ. E. Traver has
presented us a copy of "Lloyd's Military Map
and Gazetrer Of the Southern States" publish
ed in 1862, and decidedly the best work Of the
kind we have seen. The map is projected on a
scale of twenty miles to the inch, shows all the
counties in the fifteen Southern States, the diff
fercnt railroads, made up to the latest date, and
on the back is historical and descriptive
sketch Of all the places of interest in the South.
This must not be confounded with Lloyd's
Railroad map, published year or more ago,
but is a much more correct and valuable work.
1t can be had at Church's Book Store, or of
Mr.. Traver at the National Exchange, who is
the travelling agent for its sale. Price. 81 80.
HENNEss RoUTB.-A gentleman who ar
rived from Virginia City, a day or two ago, in
forms us that the snow has almost entirely
disappeared on the Henness route, and is no
longer any obstruction to wagons. Quite a
number of men were at work on the road and
the damages caused by the heavy rains of last
winter will be repaired in the course Of week
or ten days. He met good many wagons 60
ing over, but they had generally started with
light loads. The bridge at Stouts crossing of
the Truckee is now being built, but will not be
completed before the first of August, and at
present teams have to go several miles out OF
the direct road in order to cross.
THE ACRoBATs.-The Hanlon Brothers
have arrived, and will give a performance this
evening and tomorrow afternoon. The Payil-
ion has been erected expressly for the occasion,
on the vacant ground extending through from
Broad to Main street, and will comfortably seat
from 800 to 900 persons. There will be an
entrance from both streets, and ticket office
near each entrance. The Brothers perform at
Grass Valley on Saturday evening, which will
be the last opportunity the people Of this coun-
ty will have of witnessing their wonderful aero
batc feats.
THE WEATHER IN JUER.-Observation Of
the thermometer taken at Nevada three times
day, show the following means and range dur
the month of June:
