Wheatleigh, aud his talented company,
in the legitimate drama. The dress
circle was graced with the presence of a
fine and fashionable assemblage Of la

quette (of course) and all the boxes
were densely packed, and much interest
manifested in the play. The Eve act
comedy entitled "Sam," constituted
the entertainment Of the evening and was
very well put upon the stage. OF Wheat
leigh's impersonation Of the peculiar
character, "Ssm," Ia brother to Lord
Dundreary," and %partaking Of his pc
culiarites of speech, action and "all that
sort Of thing,") we will only say that it
was perfect. Mr.. Wheatleigh is too
well known as an actor to require any
eulogium from our poor stick Of u pen
Gil. Hamilton's "Bill Crockett" was
pretty fair, and the "heavy viii
%lain," (Ashton0 of John Woodsrd,
was excellent. Miss Sallie Hinkiey,
as the Hon. Laura Roslyn, performed
her part In u very meritorious and pleas
ing manner, and in the beauty OF her
compact womanhood, was the attraction
Of all ewes. Miss Annie Firmin, too,
lin the character of the Ron. Emily
Cropley) glowed forth in the charming
freshness of coeval youth, and shared
public favor with Miss Hinkley. Fanny
Hanks as Miss Euphemia, Amanda Lee
as Lady Cropley, both did most excel
lently well, and the Blanche Norman
field Of Miss Josephine was the best
piece of theatrical acting we ever saw
developed through her mediumship.
Josephine improves.) Otto Burbank,
in the character of Dick, servant TO
" Sam" made q great hit, and aside
from Wheatleigh himself, was a~pplauded
as the most m%eritorious. (He and Fam
nv Hanks were the funny and pi-
quaint features of the play.) The minor
characters were fairly sustained, and we
believe the piece gave pretty good salts

repeated tonight.
A Doc LAW SUGGEsrIoN.-ln both
Gold Hill aud Virginia dog laws exist,
which, if put properly in force at all
times, would prove II source Of income,
rs well "a abate to a considerable ex-
tent the nuisance of so many worthless
dogs running at large. Owners OF dogs,
however, object to paying license where
it does not protect them in their canine
property. The fact is, that no dog is
safe to run at large unless he IS kept
constantly muzzled. No matter how
valuable, or how highly priced he may
be by his fond master, he is liable to
fall a victim to ~strychnine, license or
NO license. Now what we have to say
is lust this: Dogs will run in droves at
certain times where there is 4 female OF
their species in the case, and make
themselves really a nuisance, and II IS
this, more than any other cause, which
induces the throwing out Of poisoned
meat and consequent reckless killing OF
the dogs, by INSCRIPTIONS persons,
often bv the owner of the cause Of the
canine attraction. The owner OF a
slut should be made to pay about
ten times the usual dog license, and
unless he keeps the animal shut up at
certain periods, he should be sub
iect TO the usual penalties OF the law
for creating or keeping u nuisance. we
make mention Of this subject ut this
particular time merely as a plea for tho
owners of really good and desirable
dogs, and in view Of their reckless de-
struction within the past few days by
means Of st ychuine, especially IN VIZ
GINA city.
