strosity, wherein one poor, weakly
little woman is possessed with an all
absorbing desire for poisoning every
body she gets a little "down on" and
makes whole crowds Of people guzzle
down liquid death, just like lager, and
look and act as cool as cu%cumbers over
it, even when they fully realize what
they have done, and that within the
mex FIVE minutes they will be laid out
stiff-legged like the s%trychnined dogs of
Horntown. 1t is q wildly thrilling play,
possessed of many real beauties amid
all its hideousness, therefore has always
been a farorite with theatre goers, but
w doubt if it is often rendered with
better effect than it was last evening at
the Opera House, with Mrs. Bowers as
the wicked Lucrezia. The consuming
fires Of hate aud revenge burning
within the Borgia soul were por-
trayed to the very life, and that
scene between herself and her hus-
band, the Duke Beatty, where each
were so pleasingly but unsuccessfully
engaged in trying to wool tue eyes of
the other, was played particularly fine
and natural, drawing forth frequent ap-
plause from the sympathizing and APP
preciative audience. Gennaro was well
rendered by Mr.. McCullom, and several
of the other %personators are deserving
of commentator. We would advise
all the gents we mean to be a little
more particular with their padding.
An exaggerated muscle thus developed
in the wrong place, looks physiologically
awkward, either on calf, thigh, or arm.
The singing Of Miss Olivia Rand, both
in "Borgia" aud the afterpiece-" The
Rustic Prima Donna and also Of her
sister Rosa in the i~nterlude, was very
excellent and we'll received. Tonight
"Fazio, or the Italian Wife's Re-
venge," will be presented, with Mrs.
Bowers as Blanca, and Mr.. McCullom as
Fazio. At the grand matinee to-mor-
row afternoon, the play will be LADY
Audley's Secret"
THE ALPHA.-This prominent Gold
Hill mine, with which the hopes Of our
future prosperity are considerably con-
uected, after a long rest, is about being
attacked with renewed vigor and pros
poets of success. The surface works
and hosting machinery are all placed
in proper condition and good running
order, and the shaft is now being re-
paired and preparations made for re-
opening the mine. The water is all
drained by the Imperial-Empire shaft,
but owing to decay and pressure much Of
the timbering of the shaft and drifts OF
the mine is considerably crushed and
displaced, so that considerable repair
ing remains yet to be done. 1t is pro.
posed, however, instead Of re-opening
the drifts which are caved too badly, to
open new ones in unprospected ground.
One or two good bodies Of ore are
known to exist at the lower levels, and
an attack upon them will soon be made.
We hope to report good results from
there before many days.
PACIFIC UNION ExPREss.-The above
new Express Company are after Wells,
Fargo & Co. with q sharp stick, and
are doing we'll, for a commencement,
with a prospect Of doing better by and
by. They have only been started about
a week, yet their ponies get in from
Reno every evening only a few minutes
behind Wells, Fargo & Co.'s, with
letters, etc. They have established also
an opposition stage line between Vir-
GINA and Rene, which will probably
start into operation tonight, as they
have fully stocked the road aud expect
their coaches to arrive in season to start
out about the same time n Wells, Fargo
l. Co.'s from Virginia at midnight
tonight for Reno. The new Company
Yesterday made their first shipment OF
bullion, it being two bars, worth S4,-
545 81.
New PLACE TO TRADE Ar.-Uncle
Billy Monahan and son, 80 well and ia
vorably known to oil Gold Killers, have
Jus. opened a fine store at l2O south G
street, Virginia, nearly opposite the
old Crystal Peak House, where they
have for sale an extensive and we'll Sc
lected assortment Of groceries, proyis-
ions, case goods, liquors and oil that
sort of thing, at the lowest cash rates.
Their many Gold Hill friends must not
forget to give them a call, and we
recommend them to the kind consider
alton of families aud others in their
new neighborhood.
The Issue AccEPrED.-We saw an
intoxicated individual on the Divide
this morning, evidently a Democrat,
glorying Justify in the nomination OF
Seymour and the Chicago platform"
" Gin,lemiu," said he, leaning up
against a porch and addressing the as
.embled awning-posts, we didn't like
to indorse his bloody uagur suffrage
idess, but we're bound to beat the dam
Black Republican Abolitionists, any
how, so we'd nominate the Diril, Sey-
mour, or see hell, if uicissary.'
Delicious JULEPs.-At the Bank Ex-
change, next door to the Postofice,
Gold Hill, they make some Of the most
delicious iced pineapple, mint and
orange juleps that eau be found on the
Pacific coast. We know it is so, for
the handsome young man who o
tho handsome thing" at the bar sent
two STAYING glasses Of the article to the
editor of the Nrws. Nothing but the
purest vintage and fruit, as well as ice,
in such mixtures.
LAURA De FORCE GoRpoS.-This tai
ented lecturer, who has been enlight-
eniug the natives of the Reese River
region for the past few weeks, delivered
the Fourth of July grafton at Ophir
Canyon, Nye county, and since has been
lecturiug at Belmont. She will give a
final lecture at Austin next Sunday
evening, after which she will return to
lecture at Virginia and Gold Hill.
Nor so wELL.-Dr. Hall informs us
that Mr.. Moss, whose head was so badly
injured by the recent upsetting of one
Of Haight's omnibusses at Virginia, is
not quite so we'll rs he was II day or two
since, yet he has hopes of his ultimate
recovery.
Grown PorSr.-The dividend declared
BY the Board Of Trustees Of the Grown
Point Company, a day or two since, has
