een Jatt.—Henry Plumer, who was committed to jait last Sunday metning for killing Wm. Riley, made his escape about five v’clock yesterday attetmoon. I appears that a woman of his acquaintance had come to see him, and was permitted to go inte the jailor’s room to talk with him through the grate, While they were conversing Mrs, Conly came to see her husband, who had been committed that day for assault and battery. Mr. Burrell, who had charge of the jail, opened the iron dvor and walked into the corridor to bring Conly out, and while his back was turned, Plumer stepped out the door and walked off. He was seen a few minutes after, by Mr. Rosenthal, crossing down from West Broad street, by Morrill’s stable, into the ravine, and some other n saw him about dark going in the direction of Sogg’s quarts mill. There is no prospect of hix being caught. The circumstances gonnected with the killing of Riley, as generally understood, would hardly justify Plumer’s conyiction for murder; but this being the second man he has killed ia Nevada, and knowing that there was a strong prejudice against him in the eounty, he doubtless thought it prudent not to risk atrial. As Plumer had received a pretty aevere cut on the head, and was then under the care of a surgeon, the Sheriff hardly expected w unceremonious a leave-taking. If Plumer shows as much tact in keeping away from the county as he did in leaving the jail, the community will have no particular occasion to deplore his departure, as the cost of an expensive trial would have probably resulted in still leaving him here, a most useless if not dangerous man. THEAteRr.—The plays of “Colleen Bawn” and the “Octoroon” were presented at the Theater on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, with appropriate scenic appurtenances, and every thing went off in good style. The house was filled both evenings. The great comedy, “Our American Cousin,” will be presented to-night for the first time in Nevada. The Company will perform at San Juan on Friday and Saturday evenings—playing Othello on the opening aight. On Monday and Tuesday evenings the eompany will play at Downieville, “‘Colleen Bawn” and the ‘‘Octoroon” being the pieces selected for that place. By particular request, Mr. Buchanan has consented to give another performance in Nevada next Thursday evening. Fororry.—Patrick Kalahor was arrested and examined yesterd iy, before Justice Smith, charged with forgery in signing the name of Michael Nolan to a bill of sale for a town lot. Nolan is unable to write his own name, and the mark was duly attached; he says, however, that he never made the mark nor authorized Kalahor to write his name. Kalahor, on the other hand, admits that he wrote the name and made the mark, but insists that he was authorized to do so by Nolan. Justice Smith held the accused, in the sum of $1,000, to answer to the charge before the next Grand Jury. He gave the required bail and was discharged. Aum Buoken.—Mr. H. M. Buel started for Washoe yesterday, with a load of goods, and while going down the hill near Turner’s mill, the break gave way and he was thrown from the wagon, His right arm was broken, and he was otherwise badly bruised. Dr. H. Hunt wentup yesterday afternoon and adjusted the broken bone, and the injured man was brought back to Neada to-day. ArrsaLep.—The counsel for Warren Myers, who was lately convicted of murder in the second degree, and sentenced to ten years imprisonment, have ordered a transcript of the proceedings, for the purpose of appealing the ease tothe Supreme Court. We are not advised of the grounds on which the counsel rely fora new trial. Antstocracy Ron M\p.—The Berlin correspondent of the Abend Post, of New York, relates a curions instance of aristocratic folly. . Count Hahn-Hahn, son of Countess Ida HahnHabn, who became famous by her novels, and doubly famous by her conversion to the Catholie Church and her devotional poems written after her conversion—this Count Hahn-Hahn has issued a remarkable order to his tenants andemployees. It commands them to dress ina black frock coat and a white vest and neekeloth, before coming to see him about any business; and when they meet him, or any of his family, they must take a military position . and say “a most submissive good morning.” . The order has been printed all over Germany, . andhas excited not a little merriment. It! sounds almost as though it had been written . for the Kladderadatch, the German Punch. . Ixptan Ovrrnaces tn Rounp VaLLRY.— We published the other day an account of In‘an outrages in Mendocino county, and of the Pursuit of them by the whites together with frieudly Indians, who overtook and killed a.
