LOCAL MATTERS.


DIED IN THE HosPITAL.-Mr. w. H. C. |
Cloud, for many years a resident Of Omega,
died in the county hospital about one o'clock
Yesterday afternoon. The deceased was a man !
of talent and we'll educated, but addicted to
drink, and for several months has scarcely
drawn sober breath. He came to Nevada a
few days ago, and on Monday evening he rolled
down the steps Of the U. S. Restaurant and
was taken by an officer to the calaboose and
kept till the next morning, when he was let out.
lie remained about town on Tuesday, but ear
Is Yesterday morning DR.. r. NJ. Hunt found
him on his door steps and sent him to the hos
pital, where he died few hours after. He had
bitten his tongue very badly, probably when he
rolled down the steps, and no attention having
been given to his injury, modification set in,
which was the immediate cause of his death.
ACCIDENTAL little daughter Of Mr.. Nolan,
aged about three years, was seriously injured
last evening, at the foot of Pine street, by
heavy scantling falling upon its head. She
was playing with other children near a pile Of
lumber which the workmen were engaged in
clearing up frem the wreck of the bridge, and
as a scantling was thrown on the pile it acci-
deetally fell off and hit the child on the head,
producing concussion Of the brain. She was
picked up in a senseess condition, and for
time it was supposed she was fatally injured;
but we learn the little sufferer is somewhat bet
ter to-day, and it is thought she may recover.
MARRIAGE.-John Derham, whose marriage
we announce in this issue, is one of our first
and most energetic citizens. Pretty much all
Red Dog came down to celebrate his advent
into new and enlarging sphere of usefulness
and activity, and the good wishes of the whole
community are with him in this new relation.
Red Dog, too, is subject for congratulation,
for though her citizens are among the best, we
think they may be improved by the introduc-
ton Of little Derham.
INcENDIARTsM.-We learn that the night
watchman at Grass Valley caught man last
night, with quantity of camphene and shaw
ings, in the act of setting barn on fire. The
watchman shot at the scoundrel and raised an
alarm; but the fellow took to his heels and
managed to escape before the citizens could be
aroused. The barn was located in such po-
siton, that had the fire got fairly stated, it
would have caused All extensive conhagration.
DEMONSTRATIONS AT SAN JUAN.-The Cal
ifornia Stage Co. have stocked the route for
line of stages from Marysville to Virginia City.
by way of North San Juan, Forest City, and
the Henness Pass. The first stage arrived at
San Juan yesterday, and we learn that the good
people OF that burg turned out on horseback, in
vehicles and on foot, formed procession, and
headed by band of music, escorted the stage
into town.
FIREMEN's FUNERAL.-The members of
the Fire Department turned out yesterday in
large numbers to attend the funeral of Mr. A.
McAllister, and accompanied the remains tc
Grass Valley, where they were buried in the
Catholic Cemetery. Mr.. McAllister was
member Of the Hook & Ladder Co., and one of
the oldest residents of Nevada.
HoNEY.-Messrs. Weaver & Co. have for
sale at their store on Broad street quantity
of the finest honey we ever saw. 1t was raised
by DIR. J. r. Crardall, of Auburn. We are in
debted to Weaver & Co. for specimen of the
article.
LUDLow's PATENT JARS, for preserving
fruits, vegetables, etc., are self-sealing, and
much more convenient than the cans common
ly used. They can be had at Piers crockery
store, Commercial street.
WAsHoE PAPREs.-Mr. Pattison, of the Pr
Oneer Express Co., has furnished us copies of
the Carson City Age andTerritorial Enterprise
