PrrERs' OPERA HOUSE," OrHELLo''
The theatre going public Of this Sec
ton never before had such u rich treat
presented to them AS they had last even
ing at the Opera House, in the enact
meut of Shakespeare's famous tragedy
Of "Othello," with those talented
actors, Lawrence Barrett and John Nc
Cullough in the two leading characters,
0thello and Iago. We will attempt no
critical assay or analysis OF the Two
presentations of last evening, consider
ing them too nearly perfection for the
finding Of frivolous flaws. The subtle
villain, Iago, found q most effective rep
re~sentatiye in Barrett-natural enough
to excite the luminosity OF any onest
man or woman in the audience against
him. As for the noble Moor, McCul-
Tough was 0thello's self, in action, word
and look, true to Shskespeare's idea,
and of personal appearance and make
up sufficiently unattractiye to cause the
unsophisticated to wonder how any nice
young lady like Desdemona could fall
in love with him, unless she was in favor
of miscegenation. Miss Rose Rand
persona,ed the loving and considerably
misused Desdemona, in q very pleasing
and acceptable manner, developing a
degree Of real talent she was not before
proven to possess. Mrs. Stewards rem
dition Of Emile was very excellent, forci-
BILE and natural, and when toward the
conclusion Of the play 1t becomes her
province to "speak q piece to the fei-
low Iago-dress him down-she did 1t
with n hearty, refreshing vim and effect
i~yeness which carried the entire sympa-
thy and approval Of the audience along
with her. Buckley's Cassie, and the
Roderigo Of Dennis were fairly rendered,
aud some Of the other minor characters
were entitled to q share Of commendable
notice ; so completely, however, was all
attention absorbed in the consideration
Of the two master spirits Of the play,
that the other characters all seemed tame
in comparison. Both Barrett and McCul-
Tough were much ~applauded at times, as
one or the other would make a point,
and at the conclusion both were called
before the curtain, replying to the COM
pliment in neat and appropriate
speeches. The house was crowded to
excess in every part, and will be so
again tonight, at the enactment OF
"Romeo and Juliet"
DiEp.-Mr. John Stead, the man who
was shot at Kaufman's Station, near the
Big Bend of the Truckee. some three
weeks ago, and upon whom the surgical
operation was performed last Saturday
at the Hospital st. Vincent De Paul, by
DR.. Hitler, Of which We gave an account
in Yesterdays News, died at the Hos
pital to-day at l o'clock P. ". Had the
operation described been performed
soon after the man was wounded, he
would probably have survived, but re.
duced as he now was, by the effect OF
the wound, typhoid fever and the
fatigue Of bringing him forty miles
to the Hospital only two or three days
before the operation was performed
/, was too late to save his life, although
he rallied and evidently felt much re-
lieved and improved, until last night,
| when a change for the worse set in n
he sank rapidly until the tine OF his
death. He felt three or four days ago
that he had to die, and LEFT directions
rs to the 6nal disposition Of his body
and effects after his death, desiring to
be buried 10 the Methodist cemetery OF
DAYTON, and that the remains Of his
brother, now buried on his ranch near
that town, be taken up and placed by
his side. Mr.. Stead was A. years Of
age, and leaves q wife and child in In
diana. He was possessed Of consider
able property both in this State and in
Indiana, and had many friends. His
assassin has never yet been discovered,
or the true cause Of his being shot
made known.

steamer recently built and set afoat on

distance in the way Of transportation to
this section.
