plpIn,s oprnA Housr-pAREpA.RosA

talented company at the Opera House
for the present. The dress circle was
crowded fully as closely as on the pre-
vious evening, with select, fashionable
and appreciatiye audience, and every
thing passed off to the special satisfac-
ton OF all present. Madame Parepa
sang in her happiest and sweetest voice.
Ferranti drew forth the loudest and
most vocifcrous applause by his gay,
festive and highly amusing style Of sing
ing, peculiarly Italian and peculiarly
Ferranti. The violin performance OF
Carl Rosa aud the piano solos Of George
Evans both received their due share Of
applause, and as for Mr.. Brookhouse
Bowler, his excellent singing was highly
appreciated and loudly eucored every
time. We were much mistaken in
our critique Of yesterday, in saying
that the effect of his really fine
and beautiful singing was sadly marred
by the extraordinary and unjustifable
agony which he throws into the two or
three concluding notes, at which criti.
cal period he certainly does look and
sound most whimsically interesting to
all true judges Of music and artistic
singing. We begin, however, to per-
ceive that this popularity is simply in
imitation Of the burly Abecco, and
thrown in merely for effect. Well, style
is everything. and Bowler knows
it. We appreciate. AS u whole,
these three concerts have given
pretty general satisfaction, although
some little disappointmentwas expressed
at the FIRST concert. This, however,
RAJ simply consequent upon having but
just arrived from II rough trip across
California and the Sierra Nevada, and
their sudden introduction to q differen,
climate, people, and general surround
ings. The engagement was a very eX
peusive n to the management, but
owing to proper and a~ppeciative patron
age, we believe Mr.. Piper managed to
come out eve on the arrangement, al
though the margin for profit wrs ex-
tremely small, and the chances for loss
much in the majority. Parepa-Rosa
and troupe appear before the people OF
Dayton, tonight, and we know they
will be woll received.
TERRIBLE TALKING MAroHEs.-0ne OIL
our exchanges speaks Of a talking match
which is announced to take place be.
tween two women somewhere in Penn.
~sylvania, the one pronoupcing the mos,
words in forty-eighrhours to be declared
the winner. Experienced photograph
ers will do their best TO keep tally"
in the matter, and the fair winner is to
receive the prize, n new bonnet of the
latest and most fashionable style. At
the end of the forty-eight hours one or
both ladies will be dead or disabled,
unless tho duck Of q bonnet" is care
fully kept out Of sight. We have a bet
ter thing than that right here ut home.
Brier, Of Gold Hill, and Jim Conley, Of
Virginia, are matched for q similar talk.
to take place on the 4th Of November
the day after election-subject "The
merits Of the two great political parties
Of the day and their candidates" also
any otler smaller topics which may
happen to occur after the original loca-
ton is worked out. The two men are
10 be placed on the summit of the Di-
vide ut sunrise in the morning, face to
face, one advancing rs the other weak
ems and backs off, until the p~ostofice OF
either Virginia or Gold Hill shall be
reached. Terms-only IN round and
no cessation Of hostilities. Nine bottle
holders on each side are already ap-
pointed. We bet $40, all in Como
stocks, on Brier, and are sure to win,
for we know he can drink with his
mouth and talk through his nose, all al
the same time.
ARGESrI.-The new town Of Argent
to which the railroad is nov completed,
is situated about eight miles east Of the
mouth Of Reese River, therefore is 33s
miles east of Sacramento. As yet, how
ever, passengers are carried no further
than Wadsworth, for the reason that
there are no houses at Argent for the
accommodation Of trsvelers-it is as YET
a town without q public house. Public
houses will soon be opened, when pas
seuger will be carried through to the
town, saving two hundred miles Of stage
travel. It Is expected Argent will be
the big town Of all that region, as 1t is
there the new Austin road will strike the
railroad. The site of the town was Sc
lected eight miles from the mouth OF
Reese River, for the reason that from
that point q better road to Austin could
be built.
AccEPrgp.-The Railroad Commits.
sioners have surveyed the constructed
line of the Central Pacific Railroad, and
accented the same to the 39Oth mile, the
latter approval being Of the section be-
tween the 370tb and the 390th miles.
The accepted portion Of the road reaches
from Sacramento to within % miles oil
Gravelly Ford.
The WEArHER.-We have been enjoy
ing a series Of very fine weather." In
dian Summer" so to speak-for some
weeks. Long may it wave. Many per,
IONS begin, however, just as they dc
last fall, and the same as they do every
fall, to predict an open winter"
They'd better leave those little matters
to the clerk Of the weather.
The BULLroX.-The sinking Of tht
Bullion shaft 200 feet deeper is progress
ing at a very satisfactory rate. Wher
it shall have attained n depth OF l,4o'
feet, drifting for extensive deposits o.
pay ore will be commenced. II is high
ly desirable that something goot
should be struck Mt that point on the
C~omstock.
FiSIsHED.-0ur new s~choolhouse i.
finished, ready for the opening of tn,
schools on the FIRST of mex month. Or
and after that date the "young idea" o
Gold Hill is supposed to take u frcsl
shoot"
SxALL.pox.-Under the fostering car
of DR.. CASTOR, the case Of smallpox @
which we made mention a day or wv
since ma the only one yet occurring
