TIE MARSH CHILDREN.-A beautiful beyy q

The MARSH CHILDREN.-A beautiful bevy of
children is the Marsh Troupe now playing at
the Theatre. Thirty little urchins, twenty-six
Of whom are girls, appear upon the stage in
rious characters and we must say some of these
nine-year would shame actors of larger
growth we have seen on our boards in times
kgohe. There are specimens among the juvenile
comedians who are wonderfully precocious, and
all perform their parts with grace and credit
The Theatre was crowded to sufocation on
Wednesday evening, OF which occasion the
Robbers of Italy and Toodles we're played, with
songs and dances interposed.
Master Geo. W. Marsh as Nieoli and Toodles,
displays good appreciation of his parts, or
SohdeffIi Initiative faculty, it is difficult to say
which on a slight acquaintance. The boy at
any rate is genius in his way. Nor are many
of the other members Of the troupe distapced
by him.
Last night the Naiad Queen was produced.
The eaGy hour at which we go to press prevents
account cf the performance. The Marsh
children will occupy the Theatre during this
week and part of next probably. The public
esnrot but be amused and gratifed in witness
ing their dramatic efforts. All over the coun-
try they have not failed to draw crowded houses
whore other companies have been obliged to
retire for want of patronage. In San Francis
co the dirninutive dramatists had a run of forty
two nights.
We would particularly call attention to the
day performance of the children, at l21 o'clock
on Saturday. An opportunity will then be Of
fered families to give their children benefit of
dramatic entertainment.
Such WEArnEH.-The Spring just passed was
the wettest and coldest ever experienced in this
country by Americans, and Summer promises
TO be off the same piece. 1t rained on the 1st
and 3D. again on the 5th, and yesterday the ev-
idences of storms visiting other sections were
apparent while it was cloudy and cool here
Considerable thunder has visited the mountains
during the month which is unusual. Wednesday
was the only real ,oarm day of the season, and
was followed by the only warm night we have
enjoyed for many month.
P. S. The boys hurried to get the paper off in
time to make the above true, but the rain caught

SPAsTsH.-We take pleasure in calling atten-
ton to the advertisement of Professor Bocanc-
gra, in another column. The professor enjoys a
high reputation teacher of the Spanish
Language and offers unusual facilities to the
young people of Nevada for the acquisition of
that most beautiful tongue

como maestro de la lengua Castellana, y ofrece
una rara facilidad los caballeros de esta pobla-
con de Nevada, for la adsuisicon de esa her
mosissima lengua.
ATTENTION We notice the Board of Trustees
of our city have enacted an ordinance for the
collection of road and poll tax. We believe
there is right existing somewhere that all taxes
shall be uniform in their operation. We ask the
city officers to make public how many men paid
poll, and how many road taxes in the city during
the lastyear. The number of persons who claim
the right to vote is not less than six hundred
How many recognize the duty of paying taxes
Will the city dads make the facts puIlic7
PEAcHEs.-E. W. Maslin, ESQ., presented us
day or two since specimens of peaches from
the Union ranch, few miles below Penn Val
ley, which were nearly full grown. From the
same source we learn that the peach crop in that
part of the country promises to be abundant
Nothing out of the order of nature interfering
We judge such peaches as those we have seen
would be ready for market in three or fou1
weeks.
GoxE.-Mr. S. Lubbock, prominent Dry Goods
merchant of our city, departed life of single
blessedness yesterday at 3 p. N. at San Francisco
so says one of the neatest little invitations a
printer ever in his life, which we had the
honor of receiving from the happy man a few
days ago. We welcome our friend Lubbock cor
daily to the realms of connubal felicity.
METROPOLITAN CIRcUs.-A troupe of perfor-
mers by this style gave display of horseman-
ship and acrobatic art in tho rear of the Nation
al Exchange on Monday and Tuesday evenings
with gazers. The horse opera never draws in
these parts, nothing.
T. STARR KIyG.-A letter has been received
from this distinguished lecturer and divine, by
the secretary of the Nevada Library Association
expressing willingness to lecture before the
association at a convenient time. We learn that
arrangements will be made for the accommoda-
tion of the lecturer on or about the goth inst.
When be comes, get seats early.
Fox CHAsE.-In consequence of the wet
weather and the tail of Archie McAllister's fox
getting all drabbled in dew, the animal will not
be able to run TO day, announced. The fox
chase is therefore postponed for fair weather.
Due notice will be given of the chase hereafter.
GoISG.-Harry Seymour, of the lucky
owners of the celebrated Nebraska and Live
Oak shafts, and an old and well known citizen

PUB. DoC.-We have Senator Latham in re-
cmbrance for abundant supply of his speech
