p,pERs' OPERA HousE.-It was la
dies night" at the Opera House last
evening. Owing to the fierce, blustery,
cold southwest wind, there were not as
many ladies in the dress circle rs would
otherwise have been, but the gentlemen
were out in full force, therefore the
house was we'll filled. The comic drama
in two acts, entitled "Franeine, or tho
Mission of Prince De Cont" was ex-
ceediugly well performed. Sue Robin.
SONS Francine was most excellent and
piquant piece of acting. Burbank en-,
acted the Prince to perfection, n
Woodland did up the old Marquis in
highly effective style. Amanda Lee,
too. personated the high toned old maid
very naturally, in both acting and make
M, In tn. intcrlude the sweet singing
of Sue Robinson, and the cxcellently eS-
ecu,ed Highland Fling OF Mr.. Lester,
were very much %applauded. The grand
local extravaganza of "Virgini" city, or
one hundred years hence" was i'm
meusely popular with tho entire audi
cnce, to Judge from the way it was APP
plaudcd at every point. Woodland, Bur
bank, Fanny Hanks, in fact all, collect
ively mado a decided hit, in this piece.
The ,ableau, and ~lunarian march, with
the gorgeous costumes and appoint
mepts were decidedly beautiful, and
we'll received. The piece is we'll worth
repeating.
ApRxsrrp.-The Sheriff Of Ormsby
county last evening arrested Jim Moody,
n colorcd barber in Virginia city, and
took him down to Carson this morning,
70 be examined on a charge of shooting
". Nahl, another colored man, in the
shoulder, at q colored ball in Carson on
New Years night. We gave an account
of the affair in the News at he time,
and it will be re~collected that Clen
Berry was arrested rs the man who did
the shooting, but at the time he s,ontly
denied il, and declared that this jim
Moody did it. The examination viii
doubtless develop the true facts in tue
case. The charge against Moody Is
assault with q deadly weapon with IN
tent to kill.
JOHNNY TuERs.-This popular favor
;,s. and true son o: Menus and Tcrpsi-
chore, is once more on his feet, and We
had the pleasure of shaking his friendly
paw this morning IN the street. Johnny
looks considerable dilapidated in his
physical appearance which he says is
owing to the physic he has takcn. lie
has thus far recovered from q serious
and almost fatal illness Of several
weeks duration, and his numerous
friends will have the pleasure of seeing
him again on the stage at the Opera
House in the course of q fortnight, pro-
badly.
Morn SroRN.-Last night, and this
morning, we were visited BY several
ligh. snow squalls, sent along by the
cold blustery northwest wind. They
did not amount to much, however. Inc
sun shone out brightly for " while TINS
forenoon, but this afternoon the SKY IS
oyercas. and some more snow is falling
| Whether it is really setting in for ano-
Their loug, or even q comparatively short
storm, we can best tell tomorrow morn
ing. Our pig barometer is demoraiized.
Can't tell a thing by it to-day.
MATTERS AT FoRr CnURcuILI.-Times
ut the Fort are rather quiet at present.
General Gregg is now in command OF
the forces stationed there. Within the
mast two weeks there have been several
| deserters-six or seven. Captain MARS
(Breve, Major) of company II, Ninth
Infantry, arrived at the Fort day before
Yesterday, from San Francisco. All IS
quiet among the Indians Mt present and
no scouting parties are out
Mass MEETING To-NoREow.-As will
be seen by notice in another column, "
Mass Meeting of the citizens of Virginia
and Gold Hill, is to be held at Pipers'
| Opera House tomorrow afternoon at :
o'clock, for the purpose of publicly dis,
cussing the recent aggressive action oil
the English government in tramPiing OF
| the naturalization laws and imprisonine
American citizens. Several prominent
political speakers will address the meet
ing.
RpoKE Dowy.-Wc passed n heavy
~ou,r.z team in bad luck on the Divide
,bis morning. In surging through
deem rut the forward axle Of the wagon
was broken on the near SIDE, conse
o~uently the load had to he dumped IL
order to get the crippled vehicle out o
| the road. These deep irregular ruts mr.
fearful on wagons.
Rrys,so RIeHr.-Pretty much oil o
our mills in this section Of tho countr'
arc running, with a good supply OF orc
Even those which had TO stop durini
the long storm Of a few weeks ago ar
ali right in that respect. The haulin
is good once more, and the teamster
are improving it.
Pu,LosopurcAL.-oh, what's the us
grumbliug and growing bout weather
I, always has and always will have il
own way altogether. SO now the en-
of the week has come, let's cast oil cal
and sorrow, 90 to the Opera House tt
night, and 60 to church tomorrow.
