. KiLitep BY Proxy.—A difficulty occurred . this morning, in a blacksmith’s shop at Quaker . Hill, between two men named Lewis and Hall. It appears that Hall had chopped some cord . wood for Lewis, and the latter accused him of . cording up a large quantity of chips with the . wood. This led toa dispute in which Hall told Lewis he lied. Lewis had a pick in his hand at the time, which he threw at Hall as soon as the lie was given. The point of the piek struck Hull in the back, but it was turn. ing at the time, and inflicted but a slight flesh . wound, though it bled pretty freely for a time. One of Lewis’ hands was badly cut, by the rough iron, as he threw the pick. At first . it was supposed that Hall was badly hurt, and Geo. Jacobs, with whom he had been living, immediately sent a Mexican to Nevada for Dr. . Hunt. The Mexican told the story in such a way that the news soon spread that Jacobs had . had a pick run through his body and was bleeding to death. The Doctor, of course, hurried up as fast as horse flesh would carry him, only . to find that his services were not needed, and the Sheriff started in pursuit of the murderer, . but has not yet caught him. Casz oF Myxnrs.—The counsel in this case . having concluded their arguments, it was giv en to the jury on Thursday evening, and a ver. dict of “murder in the second degree” was re. turned on Friday forenoon. The jury, on retiring, stood six for murder in the first degree, and six for acquittal, but one of the latter soon changed his mind, and for over twelve hours they were seven for conviction and five for ac. quittal. The verdict was evidently the result . of a compromise among the jurors, and as . there is a possibility that Myers may be insane, . it is perhaps as well that he should be sent to the Penitentiary. We are confident that a commission of physicians would never grant a certificate of insanity in his case, nor would he be received into the asylum. He was ordered to be brought before the Court on Tuesday next for sentence, and the Judge will probably sentence him for life. Suootinc Matcu.—We learn that a shoot. ing match, for turkeys, chickens, pigs, etc., comes off at the Six Mile House, on the Wash. Persons, who, from ington road, to-morrow. the force of circumstances, are compelled to . obey the Sunday law, and who are not inclined to attend church, will have an opportunity for a pleasant recreation by attending the shooting . match, DIsaGreep.—In the ease of A. R. Jenkins, tried this morning before Justice Kendall for violating the Sunday law, the jury disagreed, were discharged, and the case set fortrial again on Monday. Jenkins keeps a saloon in the . same building with the National Exchange, but . his bar is not connected with the hotel, and the case hardly comes within the exceptions of the law. Removat.—Charley Irish has made ar-. rangements to remove the Fashion Restaurant . from Commercial street, to the building on . Broad street, known as the St. Leon Restau. rant, a few doors above Pine. a : } Rexicious Service.—The Rev. Mr. Cum. mings will hold services at the Congregational . church, Main street, to-morrow forenoon—services commencing at 11 o'clock, A. M. PRED MG AMT MST G4 Re PREG So FM REE TerriroriaL Seau.—Secretary Clemens, of Nevada Territory, in a communication . to the Legislature, submits the following . desigu fora Territorial Seal : Mountains, with a stream of water coursing . down their sides, and falling on the overshot . wheel of a quartz-mill at their base. A miner . leaning on his pick and upholding a United . States Flag. A motto expressing the two ideas . ( hay gp to the Union and the wealth to sus. tain it, Volens Et Patens. The Silver Age remarks as follows upon this design : We think that the design is a very elegant one, with one exception. The idea of a miner, standing with an American flag in his hand, is very patriotic, but hardly in keeping with his avocation. It would be much better to repre. sent him coming out ofa tunnel with a rock car before him. Then, too, we think that the design would be greatly improved, and fully as patriotic, by making it a night scene, with thirty-four stars in view. It is well known that our Territory, no matter how we may seek to disguise it, looks better by moonlight and starlight, than when seen through clouds of dust, under the scorching rays of the sun. Suarrs’ Riries.—'The Sharps’ Rifle Company, at Iiartford. Ct., bas ween running its works twenty hoursa day, turning out. live hundred finished rifles a week. The demand for the rifles hus become so great, however, that the establishment has latterly commenced on twenty-four hour time. which ig about as much as can be “got out of? one day, even in Connecticut. Dartxe Exprioit.—E. S. Garrett, of Con-, cord, Mase, recently sucveeded in reaching the profile roek, known as the “Old Man of the Mountain,’ on the White Mountaias, . aud safely planted a flag upon the crest of . the rock whieh forms the cap. This feat. a. very perilous one, has been successfully . achieved but once before. .
