THE EVENING NEWS.

BAD PLACE RoR IRA cloud burst on
the Divide would destroy millions OF dol
lars worth of property in Gold Hill and
Virginia. George Smith, Of Red Noun
tain, who has frequently "seen these
things" on the plains, has made an arith-
NAUTICAL guess Of the chances OF a 'cioud-
bust" in this county, and reports 1t as one
in $4,000, (similar proportion TO de-
struction of human life at sea, by the ele-
ments,) but adds that he does not believe
any such occurrence will be noted IN Sto-
rey until next November, when defeated
candidates for office may attract a heavy
wet cloud, by affinity, a correspondence
OF lachrymose copiousness, a-but all Of
Georges technical terms would not be gen.
orally understood. we presume-as we
don't comprehend some Of them ourselves.
MAoUIRR's OPERA HousE.-Owing to
the heavy rain storm early in the evening
many persons were deferred from attend

House. yet the attendance was very fair,
considering. Shakspeare's beautiful COM
edy Of katherine and Petruchio was
repeated. Miss Estelle Potter enactlng the
part Of Katherine to perfection, ably sup
ported by George Archer and the other
members of the excellent dramatic COM
PAW. The balance Of the entertainment,
consisting of ballads, solos, duets, dances
character acts, comic delineatioEs and ex-
-trayasanzas, was also very good indeed.
