OPERA Hosss.-on the occasion of the

OPERA HoESB.-On the Oceaslon VI sue
benefit of the National Guard last even
ing the house was crowded with an audi
ence Of ladies and gentlemen who evi-
IDENTIFY enjoyed the excellent entertain
ment. This evening the celebrated BAN
ioist, Charley Rhodes, and the best " end
man ON the coast, A. ]. Talbot, appear
for the first time, and added to the happy
comicalities of Bray, the singing Of Ste
venson, Miss Flora and Mrs. Wells, the
superb dancing Of Acosta, Chapman and
Durand, will make q combination never
equalled in Virginia.
NEARLY FrNIsHED.-The suit Of the
Bullion Co. vs.. the Minerva ct ais which
has occupied the attention Of Judge Ris-
ing's Court for the past ten days, is nearly
closed. the evidence for the defense being
all in and the arguments to be made this
afternoon. The suit has been highly in
teresting, and will either deny or establish
the priority of location of the Coppers 4
Mills ground, Gold Hill. Some curious
developments as to witnesses have been
made that looks rather shoddy for the part
of honesty.
CALL around at waugaman's Ell Dorado
Saloon this evening and taste his fine
wines and par,ake of genial hospitality.
He has entirely renovated the place. and
it shines and glis,ens like the sparkling
waters of lake in sunlight. Everybody
is invited to call and see if Asa isn't just
little beyond anything of the sort in
Virginia.
CoRREcrIoS.-Through some mistake
we were made to say that the Baltimore
American claim were at work and had
struck ledge. that was erroneous. The
company are about to commence shalt
on the claim. and we learn intend to erect
machinery for thorough prospecting OF
the same.
WixDY.-This morning. old "Washoe
Zephyr" got on a regular bender, and
the way he made dust, dirt; pebbles,
shingles, small children, hoop-skirts and
other vegetables git up and dust" was
unpleasant in the extreme to persons OF
weak eyes.
IuPRovEMESrs.-Our streets are grad
ually being improved, and the ruts made
by heavily loaded quartz teams are.flled
up with quartz and rock that will in
short time render the road almost as good
az macadamized,
GooD.-Go to Maguire's Melodeon to-
night and see Charley Rhoades, the cele-
hrated banjoist, and Talbot, the prince Of
Ethiopian delineators, and Bray, his
daughter, Stephenson, Chapman. Acosta,
Woodhul, Mrs. Wells and the balance.
County JA1t.-The County Jail Of
Storey county is at this time well tenanted,
but is the most horrible of all our public
buildings. It is badly arranged, unsafe,
has no ventilation, and is the worst prison
we ever saw in a civilized community.
ArrESrIoS.-Don't forget the meeting
which is to be held at Tom Carson's sa-
loon, this evening, to organize Hose
company. Every man and boy in the
upper end of town should be there.
DuLL.-Recorder Meagher, of Virginia.
has not had single old DID. before him
for two days, and the city is becoming as
moral as Puritan's dream is virtuous.
VIRGINIA FIRE DELEeArEs.-The Vir-
ginia Board of Fire Delegates have
special session tonight to be held at the
rooms of the Common Council.

WHAT SHALL WE HAVE FOR DrNSIRs-
The way they go into the luxunes of life
at the fashionable hotels In New York, Is
amazing to any one who has been accus-
toned to the plain substantials Of beef,
mutton and potatoes. We have before Us
a Bill Of Fare Of the Hoffman House in
that city, which sets forth no less than
two hundred aud thirty-six articles for
dinner. any of which are promptly furn-
ished the guest ordering them. OF these
we notice seventeen different kinds of
soup, while thirteen different kinds Of fish
are served in sixteen different styles Of
culinary art, and in the vegetable depart
ment the common and sweet potatoe make
their appearance in ten different fashions,
while the great American National dish.
beef.steak, is served in twelve different
modes. The game such as duck, part
ridges, snipes, etc., is. as the auctioneers
saw too numerous to mentiop. Besides
the pastry mentioned in the dessert, ten
different kinds Of ice cream appear and
seventeen different varieties Of fruit and
the latter will probably be increased In
variety as the season advances. An ex-
teusiye Swine List" occupies portion
of the sheet, but the contemplation OF the
variety of edibles enumerated, . enough
to make ones head swim without recourse
to that.-Rzehdn9s

PLACE oF AMusSNBNT.-The evening
sessions of the court engaged in trying
the Bullion VS.. Minerva case are-in the
opinion of jurymen and spectators alike
more amusing than any melodeon in Vir-
ginia. Pike force and chivalric tragedy,
are both earnestly enacted. with natural
ness unequalled on any stage. 1t is re-
ported that Walter Bray, in the character
of JEFF. in Petticoats," is not more comic
than the evening sessions referred TO. Oh,

INDIANS BEYOND GREEN RIvER.-It is re-
ported, says the Union Vedette, that band
Of Indians are in the vicinity of the -four train
a. Rocky Ridge. Lieut.. Stewart, LIST Ne
vada Cavalry, is on the ground with twenty
men, and telegraphs that there are about
seventy-five in the band. They have stolen
some mules and horses, and with permission
to do so, he proposes to punish them. The
locality is beyond Col. Georges jurisdiction,
but the redskins may possibly End they are
not beyond the reach Of chastisement.

There were there hundreds Of brave
men, warriors all, crowding around;
and one after the other lauding my
deeds with honest praise, that would
have exalted more modest souls than
mine. Yet with all that, / can say
it with all sincerity, there were no
voices SO sweet as those that named
my mothers name, that asked me
har age, and when | had left her; il
l ever heard from her now when far
away; If l wanted to see her, and If
she was ever coming in their coun-
try, and that terminated their ques-
tions by invoking a thousand bless
ings on her honored head.
The death Of the lion had truly
been a blessing, since it summoned
up to my mind such pleasant remen-
brauces Of a far-away home, and her
| loved so dearly. No sweeter praise
could have been bestowed on the

The women desired, and'I could
not refuse their request, some locks
from the lions name, aud to wear his
heart, which they wanted to divide
among their boys, who would, after
eating it, become brave as the lion
himself.
AT noon the lion made his trlum-
phal entry into Gaelma, and suffered
the extreme penalty Of tho law /: that
lis, he who had devoured SO many
victims, was hung, drawn. and quar-
tered, and his flesh divided among the

The N. o. Times intinates that in a short
time important changes will take place in
Mississippi, in the powers and admin stra-
ton of the Freedmen's Bureau, which will
form precedent for similar changes in
other States.
On the 3lsi ult., took place in Alabama
the election for delegates to the State Con-
vention, called by Governor Parsons for the

chosen.

The Convention is to meet on the 18th

The North Carolina election Of delegates
is to come off on the 18th inst that of
Georgia on the 4ih of October.
The Governor of Arkansas has informed
his people officially, tbt should they elect
TO Congress any but loyal men, not only
will those elected be rejected, but much
trouble will result to them and to the State.
You will have noticed the telegraphic
dispatch to the effect that the President has
ordered all the Southern churches in pos
session Of ministers "by grace Of war;" to
be returned to their former owners. In
this city, st. Paul 9 (EpiscopaD Church has
been restored to Rev. DR.. Goodrich, its pas.

stand, that all the Methodist churches will
be returned to their former owners. II is
stated that committee from one of the old
churches here waited on the President last
month, petitioning him TO order the North
ern incumbent to return the building to
them and their old pastor. The reply was,
Immediately n written order directing the
granting Of the petition, with-so says ru-
