Piers OPERA HousE-A THEATRICAL
OvArIox.-As we predicted yesterday,
the grand complimentary farewell to
John Mccullough last evening at the
Opera House was simply perfect ova-
ton to that young, yet distinguished and
popular actor, When he first appeared
among US last year, AMI made his first
bow before o Washoe audience, he was a
stranger and but little known as an actor,
yet in u very short time his correct de-
meauor as n man, and true revealed mer-
its as an actor had won for him a host
of warm friends, friends whom he has
retained, and by his course pursued dur
ing his engagement just now concluded,
considerably added to, us evinccd by
the result Of his benefit last evening.
All expenses were paid by his friends,
and the entire gross receipts OF the
house turned over to him. Yet the i'm
mense audience did not by any means
represent the number Of tickets sold, rs
large numbers were bought by personal
friends and destroyed. The entire re-
ceipts of Mr.. Mccullough from his benefit
will amount TO nearly OIL quite eighteen
hundreddoHars; tribute in the theatrical
line never before recorded in this State.
The play for the occasion, Damon and
Pythias," was exceedingly well enacted,
especially in the principal characters,
with Mccullough as Damon, and Barrett
rs Pythias. Woodward's Diony'ius
was also very good. Mrs. Stewart as
Hermione, Miss Rose Rand as Calanthe,
Buckley as Lucullus, and Robinson as
Procles, each acquitted themselves
~creditably. The army Of warlike Ro-
mans, with gilded helmets and ferocious
spears, only needed the warlikc form Of
the proud chieftain, Barnwell, among
them to make them o truly formidable
body of troops. The great and very
popular actress, Mrs. D. P. Bowers, APP
pears tonight for the first time in this
State, and her fame as one Of the most
brilliant and talented Of American act
resses will insure her q crowded house.
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT. - About eight
o'clock last evening, as n Of Haight's
omuibusses from Gold Hill very heavily
loaded with passengers was turning tho
corner of Union and d streets to Pipers'
Opera House, the vehicle was violently
unset. The horses were Immediately
stopped, and many people being in the
vicinity going to the theater, q general
rush was made 10 the rescue Of the un-
fortunate passengers. There were eleven
passengers inside, principally ladies',
and thirteen men and a boy on the roof
of the bus. The ladies inside, Fortunate
escaped with but u few slight cuts,
scratches and bruises, but the men on
ton of the roof Jared far worse, very few
escaping without injury. Albert Prince,
foreman of the Winters mine, Gold Hill,
had his left leg broken just above the
ankle, and his left arm broken between
the elbow and shoulder. He is now lying
at the Challenge hosting worksi in charge
ofDr. Bryarly. T. H. Moss, q miner from
the Yellow Jacket mine, was badly in
iured internally about the chest, and
also sustained q severe conclusion OF
the brain, so that blood issued from his
ears. He was taken to the National
Hotel, Gold Hill, where he is under the
care of DR.. Hall. Armitagc Bryarly, q
miner from the Hale s N%orcross, was so
severely injured in the spine that his
lower extremeties are paralyzed. He
lies Mt the residence of his mother, on
Howard street, Virginia, in charge OF
Drs. Bryarly and Cleburne. Jas. Mat
tbews, of the Kentuck mine, had about
half of his scalp torn loose from
his skull. DR.. Green attended on him.
The bus was driven at q very rapid
rate and there were more passengers on
top than should be allowed, making the
vehicle top-heavy. The bus in question
was the meanly arranged narrow one, and
not calculated for n top load entirely, or
for making rapid turns in such a sidel-
ing locality. Mr.. Haight informed US
Yesterday that he intended taking it oil
the route soon. He will be liable to
now.
