The decision of the Court below is at
frmed. Also, the cause, The State of
! Nevada VS.. Roderigas +; decision of
lower Court affirmed. Both of these
cases are of considerable interest to
the public. In the former, it is decided
that property in transitu is not tax
able, and that the tax must be levied
at the place of final destination. In
this case, cord wood was assessed at
Empire CITY. that the owner claimed
had been assessed in Douglas. In the
the latter case, the defendant assaulted
and severely wounded Ellsworth, and
was sentenced to seven years in the
State Prison. Mr.. Eilsworth's friends
will be pleased to lear that the wretch
who so desperately wounded him has
partially met his deserts.
ASSAULT AND BATTERY.-One John
Doe was arrested on Thursday night,
on complaint of a Chinese boy who
cooks for Doe. Benton, for severely
beating said ChinaInan on the head
with an earthen pitcher. 1t appears
that the assaultee, who washes car
riages in Benton's livery stable, and
boards in Docs house, in the absence
of the family and under the influence
of whisky, took on himself to chaStise
John for some imaginary insult and
put aterrible head on him. Mr.. Doe
appeared at the Justices Court yester-
day morning. pleaded guilty. and was
fined by Justice Parkinson $40.
ATRIo.-Yesterday forenoon might
have been seen two middle aged gen
tlemeu with cloaks on their shoulders,
going along towards the upper part of
town, looking like the Pilgrims, with
peas in their shoes, spoken OF IN the
poem by Peter PIndar, hobbling, with
outStretched backs and Bonded knees,
cursing the souls and bodies of the
peas. They are both afflicted with
rheumatism. AT the Mint House they
met a chronic rheumatism subject,
and the way they compared notes, or
rather pains, was quite amusing. We
refrain from giving names, as 1t might
seem personal.
\ New HALL--The association of
members of the Fraternity of Odd Eel
lows intend building an upper story
on the large stone warehouse in the
real of the building they have pur-
chased. fronting on the Plaza, which

RETURNED.-The four young men
who started OH Wednesday morning
i'll chaSe OF escaped cOnvlctS, returned
night, entirely worn out. They
secured the country between here n
Springs, without finding

they have got beyond Reno before
this. The men did their duty
thoroughly, and are deserving of
much praise.
