PlrEIs' OrERA HOUSE," UNDER rHE
GAsLlGur."-The long promised sensa-
tional drama Under the Gaslight,
was placed on the stage at the Opera
House last evening, for ,the' hrst time
All the seats in the dress circle having
been taken the day previously Tor ooth
Monday and Tuesday evenings, the
,bea,cr was crowded TO its utmost ca
nacity. We congratulate Mr.. Wheat
leigh rs well as the proprietors and
management, on the eminent success OF
the niece at this its first presentation.
The play is decidedly Of the spectacular
sensational order, rcplete with interest
ing scenes, and startling incidents, a
grea, variety OF characters OF different
degrees of merit being introduced,
among whom several are the most
prominent. The plot of the piece is
generally Of a very pleasing and dram
n~,ically satisfactory nature, although
moi inviting close criticism in some
points, especially in the denoue-
ment. That part might have been
arranged in its matrimonial set
Elements q little more agreeably TO
the wishes o. most people, We think.
That pusillanimous chap, Ray, did not
deserve the heart and hand OF the iair
Laura, at all. He should have been
made to marry Pearl, instead, n the
stauuch, loyal and true one-armed SOL
der was well worthy of being the mat
rimonial partner Of Laura. The char
acters, generally, were very we'll sus-
tanned. Whea,lcigh's representation OF
" Snorkey," the veteran soldier messen-
ger was of his very best easy, natural
and good The Misses Hinkley and
Firmin were very pleasing and effective
in the respective parts ssumed by them.
Woodlands "Byke," the heavy villain
Of the piece, was a very perfect piece OF
acting, and his make up could hardly be
excelled. Tae Judas" Of Amanda Lee
was a very able and meritorious imper-
~sonation, and Fanny Hanks, rs "Peach-
blossom" fairly outdid herself. Miss
Josephine, Hamilton, Robinson, West
wood, Burbank and Tuers, were all very
good in the characters they assumed,
and the minor characters were generally
we'll p%ersonated. The new scenery oy
Hires, was much admired, and the large
amount of intricate stage machinery, oy
Rippiugham, worked we'll. The piece
will be repeated tonight to another
crowded house. Secure your seats
ahead.

Ward, Virginia, is well worthy OF being
called the /" Bloody" Third, a title'so
often bestowed upon certain Wards in
other cities. 1t is not q new name, but
