PrrER's OPERA HOUSE," Under the
Gaslight" was favored with another
immense audience last evening. Dress
circle, p~arquette, boxes, and all the
standing room was fully occupied, in
fact, for once in thcsway, n piece is pre-
seuted which developes the idea that
the Opera House is not quite largo
enough to accommodate all who wish to
attend on the same evening. But then
we never saw a play presented on that
stage before where there were so many
who liked the repetition of il enough to
attend every evening for n week. Some
individuals appear to have season tick
cts, to Judge from their regular attend
ancc. And they get more and more ex-
cited every evening over the amous
railroad scene. 1t certainly is very dra-
m~atically natural and effective, and no
one in the audience fails to get excited
when they hear the express train coming
laundering along down the track, and
20 rushing past, with the locomotive
snortiug, and putting forth smoke aud
fire, and casting "A lurid light on the
crouching form of the fair Laura, who
holds in her arms her true friend, the
one-armed soldier who she has Just res
cued from a horrible death, and ought
afterwards TO have married. Otto Bur-
bank, as the old station keeper in this
scene, is excellent, rs he is in every i'm
%personation he ever undertakes, and the
audience never fails to sympathizingly
applaud him in his amused astoniSh-
ment at the idea Of u young lady run
ming away from a young man." Otto IS
great fun" or Wheatleigh and the
other principal actors and actresses we
need not speak, they show for thsm-
selves. The piece will be run tonight
and -morro night, and how much
longer deponeut saith not. Unless
withdraw9 it will run to full houses all
next week.

tbs RArLRoAD.-At the present rate
Of progress, the RAILROAD will probably
be completed between Camp No. - and

complete, but the laying Of the rails is
somewhat retarded ut present by n
scarcity of tiles. The Railroad Company
own immense tracts of timber land on
This side Of the mountains, near the
railroad. but the eight saw-mills they
have now constantly running are in
sufficient, and they will erect several
more Just as soon as they can transport
the requisite machinery across the

HEAVY WEIGHT VS.. SWEARING. "A
teamster, with q heavy load Of wood,
got stalled on Main street this morning.
Two Germans standing on the sidewalk
talked about the stall, one remarking to
the other, soto roee, 'Das ish't zu swaar'
(too heavy), when the other replied {:
"Yaw, BY mine difel, es ish'tzu swaar."
Just then, the teamster, hearing the re-
mark, and misconstruing its Purport,
made the following rejoInder: well,
|. guess you'd swear to, if you had to
drive the team" Here was Il clear case
of mistaken identity Of words; weight
persus curses. The Dutchmen both
laughed at the incident.
