MvurpeR AND Ronpery.—On Tuesday
evening last, a Chinaman named Ah Faut, who
had been to Missouri Bar to sell vegetables to
his countrymen, while returning on horseback,
was met about dark by five highwaymen, a
short distance above the toll-house on the
Washington road. He refused to stop when .
ordered to do so, and one of the party who had
a gun shot him, the bullet taking effect in his .
right side and coming out at the back. He fell
from his horse, and the robbers took from him
some twenty or thirty dollars, all he had. He
managed to make his way to the toll-house,
and from thence was brought into town ina
wagon. Dr, Wickes was called to attend him,
but he died about three o’clock the next morn.
ing from the effects of the wound. He stated .
that two of the robbers were armed with guns, .
and the other three with pistols. Coroner Henry
held an inquest on the body yesterday morning,
and the above facts were elicited. By a notice
in another column, it will be seen that the
Ling Yung Company have offered a reward of
for the arrest and conviction of the
robbers.
Supervisors.—The Board of Supervisors
adjourned this forenoon, having been in session .
three days. Mr. A. Bickford was appointed
Road Overseer for the Bloomfield District, in
place of Rochford, declined to qualify. The
sum of $5,000, surplus remaining in the specia
fund, was ordered to be transferred to the general fund. The Supervisor of the Nevada district was authorized to contract for putting a
new roof on the Court House, and to make
other necessary repairs in the building and jail.
The appropriations on the several funds were
as follows:
General Fund, ..+.+++++4++++$2,650 40
Indigent Sick Fund,....+-++«2,000 80

Tuk Lost Founp.—A fair, but frail damsel
left her abode last evening at dusk, and not returning at 10 o’clock, it was thought that she
had gone off and done something rash. It was
noised around and Pete Mushaway and a numver of our citizens were soon on the scout.
They dragged Deer creek and seined Bovyer’s
ditch, and were about to make a descent into the
shaft that Dick Woods, once upon a time,
fell into and perished, when two young and
daring adventurers, one upon a grey and the
other ona pinto, announced that they had
found the lost one in Grass Valley, where she
had gone on foot, forexercise. Thus all chance
for a local, vanished before our eyes.
Dr. McNavuGuton.—The dental profession
came very near being honored in the election
of a City Marshal from their ranks Monday.
Although the Doctor had announced himself as
a candidate at a very late hour, the electioneering in his behalf was very lively, and at the
elosing of the polls the Doctor had secured one .
very handsome vote. The vote, however, of
six hundred and seventy -eight, which was scattered between Gregory and Rider, somewhat
impaired his chances, and unless Eureka and .
Red Dog exert themselves, the Doctor will
have to resume his dental avocation.
.
THRATRICAL.—-The Theater was filled on .
Tuesday evening by a fashionable and _ intelligent audience, to witness the play of the
“Hunchback,” Mrs. Hayne as Julia. Mrs. H. .
never appeared before a Nevada audience to .
better advantage, and she was fairly sustained .
by the stock company. The company played .
at Grass Valley last evening, and give another .
entertainment in Nevada to-night, the pieces .
selected being the “Stranger” and the “Rough .
Diamond,” in both of which Mrs. Hayne will .
appear.
Ronpeny.—Mr. George Crawford, who re.
sides on Piety Hill, was stopped about half,
past nine o’clock on Tuesday evening, by a)
couple of foot-pads. He had taken the precaution to put his money and watch in a safe
before starting home, and the robbers finding
he had nothing on his person of valuc to them
took from him a bunch of keys and a pocket
knife, and threw them in a flume.
Fracs Raisep.—A flag-staff was raised this .
forenoon on Pennsylvania Fire Company's .
house, and at eleven o'clock the American flag, .
presented to the company by Mr. T. E. Beans,
was run up, where it now proudly and graceful.
ly floats to the breeze. This afternoon the
Nevada Rifle Company also raised the Stars
and Stripes over their armory, on Main street. .
“Long may they wave.”
County Scrrp.—By a notice in our adver.
tising columns, it will be seen that the County .
Treasurer is paying scrip drawn on the general .
fund up to September Ist, 1858. Orders reg-.
istered previous to that date will cease to draw
interest from the present time. .
Lecture To-nicut.—The lecture by the}
Rev. E. Thomas on “Character,” will be de-.
livered at the Methodist church this evening.
Mr. Thomas was announced to lecture last
Thursday evening, but other engagements prevented his coming at that time.
DiscHanGEn.—John Gilmore was examined
before Justice Smith, yesterday, for the murder
of Thos. Collins, and discharged on the ground
yhat the killing was in self-defense.
.
dentist, was taken suddenly with the toothache, in a saloon on Pine street, anda bystander .
was asked to pullit. He hitched to the tooth
with a rusty turnkey, and made a “pass,” but .
it wasno go. He had nerve but not the strength. .
The “Yeoman” was then called to assist, and .
after one or two trials they brought out as sound .
a tooth as ever grew in a man’s jaw. After examining the tooth closely, and finding nothing .
to cause the aching, the Doctor coolly remarked .
that “a sound tooth was frequently internally .
diseased.”
STRAWBERRIES.—We are under a thousand .
obligations to Mr. Josiah Rogers, for a bucket .
full of nice large strawberries, which were raised
in his garden on American Hill.
EastTeRN Parers.—Messrs. C. M. Bates & .
Co., booksellers, corner of Broad and Pine .
streets, have our thanks for late New York pa.
pers received by the steamer Sonora.
Tus mail for the steamer Sonora, which sails .
on the Ilth, closes atthe Nevada office this .
evening.
.
“CONTRAPTION.”—The Washington Star, .
. speaking of the permanent constitution of the .
new confederacy, says that it is the cutest Yan.
kee invention conceivable, a sort of self-opera.
ting, self-controling, self-protecting and self.
maintaining contraption, designed forever to .
. prevent within the seceded States any such .
disagreeable contingency of public affairs as a
real popular election, by which the government .
may possibly get out of their own individual .
1. hands into those of any other men or party. .
Ir has been found that messengers receiving .
their $1200 a year in the employment of the .
United States Senate, are traveling in Europe, .
placing substitutes at the disposal of the Senate .
door-keeper, said substitutes receiving about
one-third of the salary allowed the principal.
Another employee is studying at some college
for one of the professions, keeping a substitute
in the Senate at one-fourth his salary.
Special Notices. . .
Sand’s Sarsaparilla.—No remedial agent was .

cessful as this for purifying the blood, and for the .
cure of scrofula, rheumatism, stubborn ulcers, salt

curial diseases, cutaneous eruptions, liver complaint, .
bronchitis, consumption, female complaints, loss of

AMALGAMATORS,
For Gold or Silver Ores, which are claimed to posBERR ty following advantages over all others now in
use, viz. :
lst. They are equally adapted to the amalgamation of Ores, ither Wet or Dy crushed,
2d. Being Self-feeding and Self discharging, they
require but little attention; one man being sufficient
to attend thirty or more.
34. During the process of amalgamation they
reduce the ore to an almost impal powder, im
close contact with a large surface of mercury, but
do not grind the mercary.
4th. Itis claimed fer them, and demonstrated,
that they will save from 26 to 100 per cent. more:
gold than any other amalgamator now in use,
The Amalgamating Pans are put in sete of three,
discharging inte each other; three of which sette ’
are capable of thoroughly acsalgnpating at least tem
tons of gold ore per day, and, with « slight addition,
are equally adapted to the duatgnasalion of Silver
Ores by any.ot the old.or new 6
The Pans are about four thet in Mameter, and’
supplied with o false, ‘ ——— bottom ,
upon which the grinding is done, w allows the
, 48 800n a6 united with the meroury, to
eath the grate, and, remain as safe as if

In cleaning up the pans and se ting the

The parts most exposed to wear are made of hard.
iron, and easily replaced, at trifling cost.
