OPERA House Misunderstanding to
the great interest excited by the famous
billiard match between Jamison and
Wright, there was rather a slim at
tendance at Piper's Opera House last
evening, yet the entertainment given
was as usual first rate. Miss Ella La
Rue, in her graceful and daring rope
walking, Farron aud Nellie Hosmer in
their sweet songs aud ballads, Josephine
and Clara in their dances, Sparrow n
Campbell in their Nervous Cures
Burbank, Rhoades, Parker, and the rest
Of the talented company in various acts,
delineations aud eccentricities, includ-
ing the laughable burlesquo OF the
&C Black Crook" all were warmly ap-
plauded, and everything passed of to
the admiration Of the audience. The
bill for tonight is o still better one, iu-
Guiding many 9 features, n the
whole will conclude with the ever pop
ular Ethiopian farce of "The Firginny
Cupids." Go and see the fun.

L Phelan, of the popular Gold Hill
P~ostolice News Depot, this morning IA
vored US with the following very accept
able reading matter, just received from

seen, some Of the dates arc recent, while

"FRAILrY."-Our friend, ex-Speaker
Ferguson, who justly has the credit Of
making the most original inaugural ad-
dress ever delivered on the Pacific
Coast, the other day had a case in tho
City Recorders Court, which was o
most apt illustration Of his figure OF
speech, that "msn is frail." He de-
Tended q young chap who was caught
going about in q woman's skirts and
dress. In making the argument for the
defense, Ferg. dwelt considerably on
mans frailty ; and the jury evidently
believed him, by acquitting his client.
Skirts, whether worn by man or woman,
seem to have the sympathy Of man al
most under any circumstance.
DURING the aso we may expect
more or less snow and rain and mud
with their attendant o~vils-coughs,
colds, and sickness ! probably there is
nothing more prevalent of disease than
cold, wet feet, and while there arc so
many shoe stores, all should be well
provided in this important particular.
Banner Brothers, opposite the Enter
prise Office, Virginia City, have Il large
stock of heavy wooden clothing, under
shirts, drawers, stockings, and over
coats, to preserve the health, they
have the reputation Of selling the
cheapest in that city.
IupEarAL-EupIRE.-This shaft is to-
day l,O96 feet deep, or down l96 feet
below the 9o0-foot level. Four feet
brings it down to the l,loO foot level,
at which point u new level or drift west
for the ledge will be opened, after sink
% feet deeper for q stump. The stump
will be completed and the new drift
commenced about the first OF next

to be run from tho shaft before the east
clay wall is cut, according to the es-
tablished dip of the ledge rs developed
in the 900-foot level, 200 feet above.
A BABY.-we heard, a day or two
ago, Of the birth of a baby in a family
in Lyon Couaty whose parents had been
married sixteen yesrs-and this being
the first blessing Of the kind that had
happened them. There was q good deal
of establishment at the event. "a child
i, q vell-spring Of pleasure in a family"
saith Bulwer-and after tho long and
patient waiting 10 this family, the little
stranger will perhaps be doubly so.

other column, it will be seen that the
Canadians of Gold Hill, Virginia and
