Hevada Democrat LOCAL MATTERS, More Ropreutes.—The Smith family are in a bad run of luck just at the present time. In last Tuesday’s issue we chronicled the robbery of Mr. John Smith, of forty dollars, while on his way from town to his place of residence on American Hill. ence, Mr. Smith remained in town last Sunday until about half past ten at night, when he started home with a twenty-dollar piece in his pocket. This time, Mr. Smith admits, liquor had a little advantage of him, While walking leisurely and deviously along on Lost Hill, with his hands in his pockets, he was suddenly stopped by two highwaymen, who presented their pistols and demanded his money. Smith instantly jerked his hands from his pockets, at he same time throwing the twenty-dollar piece as far as he could, and one of the robbers struck at him with a knife, cutting his pantaloons and grazing his leg. They then searched him, and finding no money on his person, one of them struck him a severe blow over the head with a pistol, knocking him down, and left him lying on the ground. Mr. Smith was engaged most of the day yesterday, looking for his twenty-dollar piece, but his search was unsuccessful. Mr. Samuel Smith, the agent for the Gold Run Ditch, was robbed the same evening. He started for Gold Flat about nine o’clock, and was stopped by three men about half a mile from town, and robbed of thirty dollars in money and a silver watch. The robbers were disguised, and presenting their pistols at Mr. Smith, gave him ‘to understand their object without speaking a word. ANOTHER SERIEs OF LECTURES.—We understand that another course of lectures—for which arrangements were partially made some. time ago, but for the time suspended, as it was ascertained that the Methodist Church would begin a course about the same time—will commence in this place about the 20thof May. The lectures will be under the direction of the Lecture Committee of the Baptist Church, and the proceeds will go to assist in liquidating the debt remaining on their new church edifice. We are pleased to learn that the Baptist Church 1s now in a comparatively flourishing condition. By the first of June next every dollar of its indebtedness will be paid, excepting the sum borrowed to assist in the erection of their church building. As the lectures for the Methodist Church are advertised to close on the 16th of May, and in order that the series may be concluded before the extreme hot weather of Summer, the beginning of the course is fixed at about the . 20th of May or Ist of June. Union MeetinG.—A paper has been circu. lated in Nevada and vicinity, for a day or two past, calling a Union meeting at the Theater to-morrow evening. About five hundred sig. natures have already been attached to the paper, and the Theater no doubt will be crowded. ‘There is no mistaking the public sentiment in this county—it is for the Union, first, last, and all the time, as the people will show by their votes should a test ever be made. THEATRICAL.—We have received a note from the agent, stating that Mrs. Julia Dean Hayne, supported by a talented company, will . appear at the Nevada Theater on Tuesday evening, May 7th. Among the company are Messrs. Frank Mayo, Pierpont Thayer, H. D. Thompson, E. Thayer, and Mrs. Claughley, Mrs. Frank Mayo, and Miss Alicia Mandeville. The play of the “Hunchback” will be performed on the first evening. Pronate Court.—In the Probate Court, . yesterday, the will of Henry Schellhorn was admitted ;to probate, and letters testamentary with the will annexed, issued to D. 8S. Tallman executor named in the will. In the matter of the estate of John Davis, the executors appeared under citation, filed their final report, and were taxed costs of citation. Burotary.—A burglar broke into the resiNot profiting by experi. Mr. Tuomas’ Lectvne—The fourth’lec. ture of the course, for the benefit of the Meth) odist Church, is announced to be delivered by . the Rev. Mr. Thomas, on “Character,” next Thairsday evening. Dr. Deal informs us that . he has received a letter from Mr. Thomas which . . renders it somewhat doubtful whether he can . be here on the evening named; in case he should not, Dr. Deal will deliver his lecture on . . Poetry as a study,” asa substitute, and the lecture of Mr. Thomas will be delivered on . some future evening. Those holding tickets . for the course will be admitted to all the lectures. May Ba.i.—Mr. Bailey has made arrangements for a ball at his hotel on Broad street, to-morrow evening, and ball-goersgenerally are . anticipating an agreeable re-union. The services of those excellent musicians, Schmidt. schneider and Plumhoff, have been engaged for the occasion. MINSTRELS.—The Metropolitan Minstrels are announced to give an entertainment at the Theater this evening. Special Notices.
