NEVADA MATTERS - We cull the following items of intelligence from the Democrat, 
of Jan 5th:
  A man named SHAW, while coming into town last Saturday evening, from American 
Hill, fell into the cut of the Plymouth Rock Company, which is some sixty feet 
deep, but was rescued without his being much injured.
  Thomas RYAN was dangerously injured, last Saturday, at Cement Hill, by the 
explosion of a blast. He was engaged with another man in drilling out an old 
blast, when it went off, throwing the rocks in every direction, a number of 
which struck the unfortunate man. His face was fearfully disfigured, and his 
left arm broken near the shoulder. It is not yet known whether or not his eyes 
are injured. The other man was injured in the face, but not seriously.
  A boy named William COLLINS was robbed by three men, at Grass Valley, on 
Tuesday evening of last week. Two of the robbers held pistols to the boy’s 
head, while the other ransacked his pockets, obtaining seventy-five cents. On 
the same evening, and by three men, a man was robbed near “Mudtown,” of two 
half dimes and a dime. He raised an alarm, when the robbers placed a knife 
close enough to leave a scratch near one of his eyes.

  THE GLIMPSE CASE - The case was resumed in the United Stated District Court 
at San Francisco, June 3d. The evidence offered was similar to that already 
published in our columns, showing that Captain DAYTON was rather a rough 
officer in his deportment towards his female passengers. It would seem by the 
following extract that the Captain’s wife did not behave in a very lady-like 
manner:
 The Governor of Nukahiva was aboard the ship, accompanied by several native 
seamen, when Dayton’s wife abstracted a bottle of port wine from the ladies’ 
hamper, in their cabin, while they were on shore, which was not replaced, but 
the bottle was filled up with water; Dayton was present at this time.

  ACCIDENT IN SANTA CLARA - On Wednesday, December 29th, Edward BUTLER, while 
driving the Almaden road, near San Jose, was thrown to the ground by the horses 
running away, and was so severely injured that he died in a few days afterwards.

  HUMBOLDT COUNTY - The Northern Californian, of Dec. 22d, chronicles the 
following intelligence:
 Constable HOGOBOON, Saturday evening, arrested a man calling himself T. KELLY, 
upon a charge of stealing a Navy revolver from the shop of C. SHOMAKER, but a 
short time previous. The Court found him guilty as charged, and sentenced him 
to pay a fine of $50.
  We are informed that, Tuesday night, December 16th, a house in the vicinity 
of Eagle Prairie, belonging to John REED, was burned.
  On Thursday or Friday last, two of the volunteers, HYSLOP and OLVANY, were 
looking for horses, about four miles from the camp, near Mad river, when they 
saw six Indians and about the same number of squaws. As they were without their 
rifles, and mounted, they adopted Light Dragoon tactics and charged upon the 
Indians, wounding some - one mortally - and took two squaws prisoners.
  The same day, three men from camp at Angel’s came upon a party of ten Indians 
and had a bout with them - killed one Indian and wounded several; two so badly 
that they may almost be called “good Indians.”

  MARYSVILLE - The California Stage Company, we learn from the Express, has 
suspended communication between this city and Marysville for the Winter. A new 
boat, adapted to Winter navigation, is to be placed upon the river route.

  GENERAL AGENT OF THE TEHUANTEPEC LINE. John C. CARPENTER, an old Californian, 
has been appointed by the Louisiana Tehuantepec Company, General Agent of the 
line for the Pacific coast, to reside at San Francisco.

  WOMAN DEALING IN KNUCKLES - Mary BURNETT, who had armed herself with brass 
knuckles, in San Francisco, and badly cut a woman named Ellen SPICER, in the 
head, was recently held to bail in the sum of $100.
