PIrER's OPERA HousE.-This popular
place of amusement still continues to
be crowded nightly. The reason is OBJ
yious. In addition TO the unequaled
company now performing there, Master
O,Brien, the excellent singer and dan
Ger, Johnny Wimble, the champion
clogologis,, Harry Spriggs, the unneces-
sary to be described, Miss Lizzie Wor-
rell, the pleasing singer, and last,
though not least, BY any means, Zadie
Lascelle, who appears in the tableaux,
and whose beauty of form surpasscs
ever that Of the famous Mcnken. She
is a decided attraction. Tommy Farron
still continues to be n very great favor
tie with the patrons of the Opera House,
being much the best aud most pleasing
ballad singer who has appeared there
since Wambold. Amanda Lee, Fanny
Hanks, Little Nell, Maggie Brewer,
Otto Burbank, Sprung, Tuers, Foster,
Barnwell aud others continue 70 make
this BY far the greatest combination Of
talent in that line on the Pacific coast.
John Woodland, the prince Of all me-
Todeon men, will arrive IN q day or two
20 take command as stage manager.
He is now on his way.
SINGULAR RuSAwAY.-Saturday even
ing two lively horses attached TO n cut
ter standing in front OF Feusier / Co.'S,
. corner of C and Taylor streets, Virgin
ia, took n notion to run away, and ac-
cordiugly did so, with an earnestness OF
action seldom equalcd, passing along
South c street at n spanking rate.
They took to the side walk, on the right
hand side, and made u clean sweep OF
il, everybody getting out Of the way IN
double quick time. Singular And tor
tunate to say, no one, not even a dog,
was hurt, and no damage done until IN
pnssinr the fruit stand Of B. F. Wallace,
they took an awning post between them
and carried i, some half a dozen rods to
Mor,ou's sample rooms, just below the
St. Louis Brewery, in front OF which
one Of the horses fell. that awn'nS post
proyiug too great an impeachment to
travel with conveniently. They were
secured, no damage being done to either
horses or cutter.
Pay DAY.-For five days after each
first Of the month, the mining companies
on the Comstock pay of their workmen;
but, owing TO the Indictment weather for
the last TWO weeks, the coin-source has
failed 20 make u connection over the
mountains with the bullion-source-and
hence, the long-looked-for day, when
abou, six hundred thousand dollars in
cold and silver coin, usually discussed
in Gold Hill and Virginia, by the mining
c~ompanies.) is just dawuing-Wells,
Fargo L Co.'s express having arrived
last night with q large lot OF coin for
some of the companies. Before the end
of this week, no doubt all the companies
will have paid off, and business men,
miners, lawyers, and everybody will feel
more cheerful.
GRAND BENEFIr.-NcXt Wednesday
evening, Harry Spriggs, Johnny Ed
wards, and others recently composing
the excellen; troupe of the Black Crook
Melodeon, will take a benefit ut Piper's
Opera House. They have been detained
BY the late storm, preventing their go
ing over the mountains to San Fran
cisco, and their many friends desire to
attest their appreciation before they so.
The best performance ever known at
the Opera House is proposed to be given
on that occasion, both companies APP
peariug in one grand combination.
Messrs. Kimball, Naylor, Longstreet,
Mann, Kuh, and others Of the Virginia

will perform tho exciting and daring
feat Of the "Eschelle Perileuse.'
EyEEeEr,c.-The managing agents of
Wells, Fargo 4 Co.'S Express and Pho
neer stage line are doing all in their
power to open and keep up communica-
ton between this region and California.
Six mail bags were brought into Viz
pinis by the Donner Lake route yester-
day: and We understand that this morn
ing a large express and mail came in as
late as Friday from Sacramento. Con-
siderinc the awful condition of the
roads in the mountains, the company's
agents are entitled to much credit for
their energy.
The TELEGRAPH. The telegraph to
California, by way Of the Placerville
route, has been in full operation since
two o'clock P. H.. Saturday. 4 large
number Of dispatches had accumulated
on hand, but are now all worked Oh.
There are four different wires across the
mountains, therefore the most available
Is made use Of. The wires BY the DON
uer Lake route are totally demoralized,
and will no. probably be in use for SOM
little time yet.
