THE EVENING NEWS.


the Ladies Festival for the benefit Of st
Johns Church was a perfect success
The heavy storm during the day threat
ened to destroy foot navigation but II
cleared up cold and travelling was tip-top'
The Theater was tolerably well filed ou'
not crowded, by about as well satished an
audience as we have ever seen. The pro-
gramme of exercises for the evening con-
sisted of music by the Virginia Glee CIno
and a great variety OF taoIeauA: 1hoSe
who have ever listened TO that GIee CLUB,
need no assurance that the music was glo-
rious. The tableaux were well chosen,
managed and arranged with taste, and as,
in several of them, very small children
took prominent parts, there had evidently
been much pains taking rehearsal. They
were all excellent, and any one of them
was, as the theater bills say, worth the
price of admission" There were two or
three, however, which struck our fancy
most particularly, and none more so than
the first, which was entitled The Pyra-
mid of Beauty" This consisted of q
pyramid of about thirty misses, from those
who had attained the charming Items :"
down. to the merest infants. Clad uni
formly in white, and lit up by the rose
colored light from behind the scenes, they
formed a fairy spectacle, such as one
seldom sees in lifetime. This glorious
scene was rapturously applauded. An
other was entitled Tom Thumbs We'd
ding" in which YOUNGSTERS, corresponding
in size with that illusrious couple and
their bridesmaid and groomsman, ap-
pareled in full fig of dress coats, white
chokerS, lace wells, orange flowers, ETC.,
etc., maintained their attitudes to perfec-
ton. John Dewitt, attired in sacerdotal
robes, looked the character of an Episco-
palian priest so well that if he will go into
training. to bring his morality up to some
thing like a respectable standard, we will
recommend him for holy orders. There
was another tableau which we approach
with delicacy and hesitation. 1t was the
" Belle of Gold Hill" For "sere and
WALLER" bald-headed newspaper reporter
10 criticise an acknowledged belle, may be
considered cheeky, but We went there by
request, for that purpose, and shall per-
form our duty unfinchingly. We are
constrained TO say that the Belle of Gold
Hill, although perfection in point of
beauty, IS too stiff in her attitude to be
pleasing in tableau. Moreover, in place
of that modest inconsistencies that I'M
parts the highest charm to beauty, she re-
garded the audience with a stare that
might be termed " brazen." Her tout en-
ssn,bis impressed Us with the notion that
she was better fitted for modern fashion
able hotel life, than the retirement of the
domestic household. From the noise we
heard behind the scenes after the curtain
dropped, my lady has got a tongue of her
own. We have not time or space suth-
cient for a detailed description of other
scenes; and will close this critiqus by as
sertins thar il was the finest thing of the
kind we have ever seen. 1t will be re-
peated with changes) every evening until
Friday, inclusive, and those who fail to
visit it will be "big loser"
ROMANCE N Saturday even
ing Billy Gardiner eloped with and was
married to fair German girl who loved
him. Justice Sawyer performed the GER
emony, and the welded pair sought soli-
tude and safety from the fair brides
mother, who was opposed to the match.
4 little later the court issued writ of
ha6eas corpus at the request of cruel par
ent, wherewith to snatch the devoted
lovers asunder, but the officer was unable
to find the runaways, and made his return
not est getata6us. The mothers rage grad
ually subsidized, and in place of madness
came the witching spell of love over her
maternal bosom; her signs were heard,
appreciated, and compassionated by a
gallant gentleman who proposed to marry
the widow. The proposal was accepted,
Billy and his wife were sent for and for
given, acted as bridesmaid and grooms.

RICH STRIKE. - Considerable excite
ment was occasioned yesterday by the
reported strike Of very rich ore in the
Crescent Mine, Summit Lake District,
which is owned by several gentlemen in
this city. Quantities of ore that have
been brought into Virginia, are very rich
in free gold and silver. Assays made by
Ruhling s. Co., exhibit the enormous
amount of $4,000 per ton in gold and
silver. The ledge lis six feet in width,
and the owners feel sanguine Of speedy
fortune, and already extensions of the
ledge are eagerly sought for and claimed,
and Summit Lake Mining District, bids
fair to become of considerable Importance.
DEPARTURE.-Larry Murray left to-
day for California, in order to recruit his
exhausted energies. The distinguished
ranger" we understand, is to meet his
fellow-laborer, Hon. Rufus E. Arick, at
San Francisco, and take charge of for
aging expedition to the Chincha Islands.
Larry will, doubtless, become a distin-
guished leader in that trade, having re-
ceived good training at the business, at
the recent meeting. "Adieu, We venerable
chief, your absence will be mourned, but
we must yet say, adieu."
The FAMILIAR CRY.-At the corner OF
c and Union streets, every evening. may
be heard the old and familiar cry of "just
one more chance left" Tickets in Lo-
ryea's Grand Gift Entertainment are going
like dew before the sun, for every one
seems to be desirous of winning one OF
more of the magnificent prizes that are
to be given to the holders of the lucky
tickets.
