LOCAL MATTERS.

I,ECTURR.-lDc lecture OF Mr.. Oliver nj,
Ton,linson, rs VIC have already announced,
will be held at the Cowt House tomorrow af-
,ernoon, commencing at five o'clock. No tick
cts will be sold at the door, consequently par
ties desirous of attending must provide them
selves with tickets in advance. The subject Of
the lecture is, ''Rebel Pictures from Moham-
med's Koran" and judging from Mr.. Tomln-
son's advertisement, he docs not exactly agree
with the sentiments expressed by I. Starr
King, in his "Rebel Pictures from Millions
Paradise Lost" The object ofMr. Tomlnson
is to get the country out OF its present chaotic
state, and he informs us he has written to Sem
ator Samuel Merritt, the Msrysville Express,
and others, who have promised to aid him in
his efforts. We hope he may be successful in
bringing order out OF chaos.
THE SUSPENSION BRIDoE.-Mr. Hallide,
the builder Of the suspension bridge, having
heard OF the fall of the structure, on Bear river,
started immediately for Nevada. and arrived
here on Thursday evening. He has already
taken steps to repair the damages, so far as
they can be repaired, and has let out a contract
for clearing up and saving the irons, lumber,
etc. The towers are standing as firm as ever,
the cables and most Of the iron.work are unin.
iured, and much of the lumber can be used
again. 1t is admitted that the accident was oc-
casioned by the insuficiencv of the cast-iron
woke" to sustain the strain upon it, and when
that broke the wrought-iron rods we're partially
twisted and snapped ntwo.
SPoRTs.-ArrangemeE are being made far
glorious days sport, at the Glenbrook Course
on Saturday next, the 10Th inst. Another foot
race is to come off between w. IL. c. Bartlett.
Of Rough & Ready, and Benjamin Rouse, of
Grass Valley, for $1,000. A race was run be-
tween the same parties some weeks since, in
which Rouse was beaten; but he has staked his
money again, and is now training for another
trial of speed. A horse race and trotting match
will also take place on the same day, and the
occasion will be one of rare interest TO those
who enjoy such sports.
INDIcTMENTs.-The Grand Jury submitted
ted their final report yesterday to the Court of
Sessions and were discharged. They found
FIVE indictments, as follows: Against David
Manson, petit larceny; and against Charles
Friendo, Richard Dillon, Jacob Webber, and
John Glynn, for assault with intent to commit
murder. The court adjourned until two O'Clock
this afternoon, for the purpose Of arranging
such of the indicted parties as arc in custody.
The GLASS BLowBRs.-From the extensive
preparations being made we judge that the ex-
hbition which is to be given by this troupe, at
the theater, on Monday and Tuesday evening
next, will be an entertainment worth witness
ing. A platform, covering the entire body Of
the theater, has been erected, the stage not
being large enough for their purpose. They
are great bLO,oerS, ard we have no doubt will
draw full houses.
HoMIcIDE.-A man named Hitchell was
stabbed yesterday at Orleans Flat, by man
named Burbeck, and died from the effect OF the
wound. We have not learned the particulars.
Burbeck was examined before Justice Stanley,
and committed to Jail. He was brought down
to day.
SUsPIcIoUs.-The Transcript asserts that
its man, wherever he goes walksin by the front
door, and was never seen creeping through
window. AS no one had accused him Of going
to places by way of the back door, or Of crawl
ing through windows, the denial is at least sus-
picous.
UNIvERsALIsT SRRvIcE.-Rev. Mr.. Wal
ton, Universalist clergyman, will preach at Mr..
Pressy's school room in the rear Of the Ma
tiOnal Exchange, tomorrow. The services
will commence at II o'clock A. NJ; subject
Love and Fear"
No SRRvIcEs.-In consequence Of the abb
Isnce of Rev. Mr.. Cummings to attend the fu-
neral OF member Of his family there will be
no services at the Congregational church to-
morrow.
Too LArR.-The resolutions Of the Pennsyl-
vania Fire Co. were handed us for publication,
BY the Secretary, on Thursday afternoon, but
At too late an hour for our paper Of that day.
They will be found in another column.
NEWSPAPER FAvoRs.-We are indebted to
Mr.. Pattison, agent Of the Pioneer Express
for late Downieville and Nevada Territory pa
pers.
