The case of Murray ct. al. VS.. Anderson, a

a Jury empannelled, and is still on trial.
WINTER-KILLING OF TREEs.-The Grass
Valley National says that large number of
fruit trees in the vicinity of that town, and in
localities above Nevada, have been winter
killed. In several cases every peach tree on
some small ranches have been killed, and many
annie trees also. In the vicinity of Nevada,
many plants and shrubs that have heretofore
vithstood the winters, have been killed during
the severe winter just past; but We are not
aware of the fruit trees having been injured to
any considerable extent.
ST. PATRIcK's DAY.-Two balls are an
nounced to be given in town on the evening of
st. Patrick's Day, (next Monday )-one by Mrs.
Adams at the Hook & Ladder Co.'S House, on
Broad street, with the supper at the New York
Hotel; the other by Messrs. Flynn & Irish, at
Temperance Hall. The latter had made ar
rangements to serve up the supper at Withing-
toms Hall, but in consequence Of the difficulty
in crossing the creek, by the failure to repair
Broad street bridge, they have determined to
give the supper in Temperance Hall building.
THEATRIcAL.-TheT Thorne theatrical troupe
played at Grass Valley on Monday, Tuesday,
and Wednesday evenings, and left this morn
ing for Marysville. In consequence of Mr..
Dillon having an engagement at San Francis
co, commencing next Monday, the company
were unable to return to Nevada this week.
We learn, however, that the company intend
70 visit Nevada again, as soon as the weather
is favorable.
Court OF SEssIoNs.-In the case of David
Boggs, indicted for malicious mischief, the de-
anurrer to the indictment was argued yesterday
and sustained, and the defendant discharged.
The trial of Stanford Cain for forgery was
postponed until the next term, and the Court
adjourned sine die.
No PAPERs.-The Sacramento stage arrived
in town about ten o'clock last night, with the
letter mail, but brought no papers. From some
unexplained cause the paper mail failed to
reach Lincoln. 1t is probable the detention
was occasioned by damages to the railroad by
the storm of Tuesday.
CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH.--Rev. MT.
Cummings, who has been engaged as perma-
nent pastor of the Congregational Church, in
this place, will hold service next Sabbath only
in the forenoon. Arrangements will soon be
made to have forenoon and afternoon services.
To SMOKERS. If you want the genuine
killickinick smoking tobacco, call on A. r.
Jenkins, at the National Exchange Saloon,
Nos. 33 and 35 Broad street. We have tested
the article, and can recommend it as genuine.

resident of this place, has lately sold out his
Willow Creek diggings, near Camptonville,
and returned to Nevada with the intention of
remaining here permanently.
