three hundred dollars more than on tn
famous opening night. The occasio'
of this grand rush was that it was no
only "ladies night" but the weathe

for weeks. Evidently inspired by tn

fore them, the actors fairly outdid them
selves. johnny Tuers never vas 81
recklessly funny and eccentric before
and Otto Burbank never appeared o.
acted to more successful advantage. Hi
"McGowan's Reel" with Amanda Let
was one Of the most spirited and anus
ing features of the evening Otto grow:
younger and more supple every day.
but he couldn't get anything the best o.
Amanda in that reel. She is the oes'
danseuse in the State, as well MS n mosl
excellent actress. Tommy Farron stu
continues to be the favoritc in song, and
the rest did excellently well. Yankee

"Harp of q Thousand Strings and
"Courtin Patty Bigelow" in a very ac-
ceptable IN although suffering
from a severe cold. Piper will have

H. Taylor, Esq, presented P. G. NJ. De-
Bell with an elegant gold watch. In
both instances the testimonials were
well deserved, the recipients being

the hall.
ADuRIous JoKE.-0ur Virginia morn
ing contemporary gravely informs the
public that /" throughout the storm the
omuibusses kept up their regular trips
between Virginia aud Gold Hill, proving
n great accommodation to the people OF
both towns" You can't make Gold
Killers believe that, no more than you
can make Haight, the proprietor of the
line believe it, or even us who walked
our regular two trips u day between the
two towns, without seeing any OF the
aforesaid accommodation"
A PRIzE.-This evening, at Mike Nc
Cluskey's Theater Hall, a grand rattle
will come off for a very valuable horse,
buggy, harness, robes, etc, the property
OF Captain Vcsey, who has no further
use for them. Tickets only $500. 1t

o'clock, precisely.
TIE RoAps.-Jack Frost took a gen.

pair all the roads in and about Gold
Hill and Virginia, and he certainly did
do it most effectually, for the heaviest
quartz team can travel anywhere-or
could this forenoon-on o good, solid,
frozen foundation. The Toll-road down
through the lower part of Gold Canyon
still continues impossible, the Dayton
stage having to take the old emigrant
grade for it.

from California, are on their way over
the mountains. Everything will run
along smoothly, on and after this date.
unless more bad weather interferes to
prevent it.
ST.. JoHy's FEsrIvAL.-The brick
Church was crowded last evening with
the happiest throng of children we have
seen this year. The Christmas tree was
loaded down with gifts, and all seemed
to receive an abundance. The exercises
throughout were of highly interesting
character, and must have been satisfac-
tory to the parents and pupils present.
WINES AND LIQUoRs.-Frankel, stone
store, Gold Hill, has the largest and
finest stock of superior brandies, whis-
keys, .porters, ales, etc., in Gold Hill;
and he sells them at very reasonable
prices. No better articles of the kind,
nor at lower prices, can be obtained in
Virginia city. Frankel has a whole
cellar full Of them.
Nor FRAcrUREp.-Ycs.erday, by the
accidental leaving out of the word mot
in our item of the ARRAY at Virginia city,
wherein Patrick Lyons had his head
badly cut by a blow from a revolver,
we were made to say that his skull was
fractured. Such was not the case, and
we are pleased to learn Mr.. Lyon is get
ting along finely.

where it was so badly quilted out by
the recent food rushing down it, is be.

fixed up right again. IT'S we'll.
