the entertainment last evening, at the
Opera House. l. is an operate piece,
introducing several really pretty songs,
and is placed on the stage in a very su-
nerior manner, the best musical and
dramatical talent among the gentlemcnin
the company being represented. The
choruses were particularly good, al
though u little less predominance OF
tenor would have been an Improvement.
The "Medical Student" the "body
Sna,cher," and other pieces in the rich
interlude, were also very GOOD, inc
''Hop Light Loo Of Burbank anu
Murphy, especially 50. Tho Drama,
avery amusing little burletta by sprissS,'
Edwards and Woodland, was very mGch
annlauded. In this piece Johnny I'D
ward shone forth witha degree oil reai
dramatic talent, evincing a thorouSh
annrccin,ion of the subject. Edwards
rnsscsses very superior talent in his own
rncrnlinr line: in the burleSque melo-
ICON dramatic we have rarely seon him
SURPASSED. Another excellent bill Tor
tonight. Tomorrow evening will be
another Ladies' night
The HUMANITARIAN LEcruRE.-Not-
withs,anding the snowfall OF last even
ing, a much larger audience assembled
Mt the Court House, in Virginia, than
two weeks ago, and some Of our W
~townspeople were present. In order 70
afford s,ragglers a few minutes grace,
!, ;s customary at these meetings TO
read a poem Of some kind before the
lecture begins. That read last evening
was "The Anthem Of the Bells lin
our view, those who wish most thor
oughly to enjoy such meetings should
90 in time TO hear these selections, Tor
they will often repay one for attendance,
even when u lecture may fail to- The
address embraced some very touching
as we'll as beautiful passages, ana was
listened to with undated interest
throughout. Mr.. Wiegand has sue
ceedei in demonstrating that common
sense views of religion are not only
S~crip,ural, but that they may oe pre-
seuted in II live and attractive FORM
The closing piece was read from Satnr,
DAYS NEWS, and is entitled 1.-The oreeu
Of ST. Jodokus."
RpxryIr FOR THE Ne
yada Hook i Ladder Co. No. l, IS a
company in the very efficient Fire De-
par,men, OF Virginia, which has never
been in the habit of calling for benefits,
therefore it is nothing more than fair
tha, they should receive the excellent
and substantial one which they expect
on Wednesday evening next, at Pipers
Opera House. They have paid up pretty
much all their bills, including funeral
expenses of deceased members, but still
have n small debt hanging over them
which they wish to clear OIL, BESIDES
which their house needs some little hxing
m. In view Of these ideas, n crowded
house should be given them. One OIL
the best bills of the season will be Oh
fered, and besides the regular Opera
House troupe, q small army OF volun-
teers will appear. Wallace W. Wright
will appear IN his celebrated champion
Cue Hcrnpipe." and thinner introduces
n new and most beautiful overture, COM
posed by himself expressly for the oce"-
sion.

Merry Monarch and the very pleasing
and popular little play OF Nan, the

the rich interlude Of song, dance and
general fun, cannot fail to attract a full
and appreciative audience.

the pump will be put in there before
Spring.
