LOCAL MATTERS,
Hovse Burnep.—The large frame building
in Wood’s Ravine, built by Joseph Beard, during the quartz excitement of 1851, took fire
between eight and nine o’clock last Thursday .
evening, and was entirely consumed. The house .
was owned by Messrs, J. Berry and Chas. Al-.
brighten, partners in a quartz ledge, near .
Wood’s Ravine, and occupied by them and .
their families. The fire is supposed to have
caught from some children’s clothing, which .
had been washed and hung up before the fire in .
a bed room to dry. When discovered, the flames .
had attained such headway that no attempt
was made to save the building, and it was wit
difficulty that some of the children were rescued
from the flames. A little child of Mr. Albrigh.
ten was sleeping in a room by itself, and af.
ter the room was all on fire and filled with .
smoke, Mrs. Albrighten rushed in and brought .
out the child, which was nearly suffocated by .
the smoke but fortunately was not burned. Ev.
ery article belonging to the families, except the
clothing they had on, was consumed. Mr. Lester, who was at work on the lead and boarding
at the house, rushed into his room, when enveloped in flames, and brought out his trunk. .
His hair, whiskers and eyelashes -were pretty
well scorched off, but luckily he was not much
burned. The loss falls heavily on Messrs. Berry
and Albrighten, who are left with their families .
without an article of furniture or clothing; they
own a rich quartz ledge, however, and we trust
they will soon recover their losses.
Fire ALArM.—The fire at Wood’s Ravine, .
last Thursday evening, was plainly visible in
this place, and caused an alarm. At first it .
was supposed to be some building on Spring .
street, back of the Methodist church, and an
immense crowd of people rushed up Broad .
street; but the nearer they approached to the
fire the further off it appeared. The hose companies were both out, and we believe got their .
hose attached to some of the hydrants, before .
it was discovered that the fire was beyond!
American Hill. A performance was going on .
in the theater at the time, but the building was .
emptied in double quick time after the first ery .
of fire was heard, but happily without accident. .
The auditors didn’t stop to get checks, and were
permitted to return on stating that they were .
among the crowd that rushed out. It was noticed that the audience had largely increased .
after the alarm had subsided.
'
Turater.—The entertainments at the thea.
ter on Thursday and Friday evenings were well .
attended, and the plays of “Coleen Bawn,” and .
“Wine Works Wonders,” were presented for
the first time to a Nevada audience. This evening the play of the “Octoroon” will be repeated, and the company will take their departure .
to-morrow. Mr. Perry isa talented and ver.
satile comedian, and the Nevada theater-goers .
speak of his performances in the highest terms
of praise. The stock company is one of the
best that ever visited Nevada, and presenting .
new pieces they could’not fail to attract good .
houses.
Youne America Co.—This company suspended work in their lead on Saturday last, in
consequence of the tunnels falling in and the
shaft timbers having sprung, so that the work
could not be carried onto advantage. They .
are now sinking another shaft, and are already
down eighty feet. During the past year the
company have worked at great disadvantage; .
they have taken out during that period over .
$40,000, all of which has been expended in carrying on on the work. They have a good lead, .
and when properly opened, they are confident
it will pay largely.
BurGLaRy.—The house of Mr. John Lan.
caster, an Boulder street, was broken open last
Thursday evening, during the absence of the
family, and rummaged over bya burglar in
search of plunder. Mr. Lancaster went home
abont ten o’clock, for the purpose of going to
bed, and the thief jumped out a window as he
opened the door. The night was very dark, and
no attempt was made to follow the rascal.
Cuinesr Muss.—An affray occurred yes.
terday evening, at a Chinese gambling house, .
on Commercial street, whiclr created a tremen.
dous excitement among the celestials. One.
Chinaman had his arm badly cut by a knife in
the hands of another. Special policeman Scott .
arrested five of the celestial rioters, and the case .
was to have been ventilated before Justice Ken.
dall this afternoon.
P oxice IrrMs.—On Thursday evening, Paul .
Warnington and James Spargo were arrested .
by officer Rider, on a charge of drunkenness .
and disorderly conduct. Thes were examined
before Justice Smith, found guilty and fined .
ten dollars each. Michael Piner, alias “Jack
of Clubs,” and John McKinsey, arrested yes.
terday evening for quarreling and agnting, were .
tried this morning and fined six dollars each.
QuvarTEeRLy MeErTtnc.—The quarterly meet.
ing of the Methodists commences this evening,
at their church in this place. Rev. Mr. Fisk,
Presiding Elder of the District, will be in at.
tendance. }
PrEACHING.—Rey. Charles Derking will .

morrow afternoon. Services will commence at
two o’clock. .
rived in Nevada this afternoon, from Virginia

Sands’ Sarsaparilla—for Purifying the blood
—Health depends almost entirely upon the state of
the blood. If the vitalizing fluid which pervades every tissue membrane, fibre, filament, gland or other
organ, primary and subsidiary, be charged with the
. elements of disease, sickness must be the consequence, and until the causeis eradicated, no permanent relief can be expected. Itis here tha ‘the
powerful health restoring properties of SANDS’ SARSAPARILLA are manifested ; its searching operation
reaches the germ of disease, and the cures it performs are therefore radical and thorough, Read the
