OpsRA HousH MsLoDIoN.-That mag
nifcsnt, terrestrial and celestial sItrav-
agauza, 10 rsplste with local hits aud
the most amusing c~omicalitiss, to say
nothing of beautiful %tsblsaux, shape,
etc., was repeated at the Opera House
last evening to tie great satisfaction
and admiration Of the entire audience.
That piece could easily be made pre-
sentable and an attractive feature for
'lsdiss' night" or a matinee. The
balance Of the entertainment WAS OF
course excellent, as is expected from so
talented and versatile a company. To-
night those two orphan "Babes in the
Wood" John Finn and Sammy Good
child, who have 80 long and so often
oniciatsd behind the scenes, removing
cities, towns, forests, trains Of cars,
wharvss, cerpses, slsepsrs, and all that
sort Of thing, when required, will do
their friends the favor to receive 4
grand and substantial benefit this even
ing. They present an immense bill, as
may be seen by reference to distributed
programmes. Give the boys q 900
iin, for, as Otto Burbank says, they de-
serve il, having always freely volun-
tssrsd on all occasions, public or pri-
yate, in the theater benefit line.
CONVENIENT TryE-PIEcR. friedrich,
of the wsll-known jevelry and watch
making establishment, @ street, Viz
ginia, mex. south OF Gillig, Mott / Co.'S,
has Just received = large English time
piece Of the very best pattern, which he
will put up in his store. This big clock
in something smaller than . quartz
mill, and will be found very convenien,
for reference in regulating not only tho
numerous other watches and other
tims-pisces in his store, but in keeping
the positively correct mean chronometer
time Of Virginia. After that clock
starts up, We expect everything in this
section will be regulated by Fred
rick's time"
