PIPzRs' OPERA HoUsE.-"Julius Ce-
sar," was performed at the Opera House
Saturday evening to a full and appreci-
alive audience. The impersonation of
Brutus by Mr.. Mccullough, and that Of
Cassius by Mr.. Barrett, were noble and
excellent. Mccullough is so seldom
seen on tho stage in characters where
his natural complexion is allowed to DO
visible that perhaps on this occasion be
seemed to look all the handsomer for 1t.
He certainly never looked finer, or Bar
rett either, judging from the expressed
opinion Of numerous ladies who were
present. Tho minor characters were
generally fairly sustained, and the piece
passed quite smoothly. Last evening
Schiller's great play Of The Robbers"
was enacted, with Barrett as Charles
DeMoor, and Mccullough rs Switzer.
| This evening Macbeth will be pre-
seuted, with Mr.. Mccullough in the
leading part; tomorrow evening ''0thel-
To-" and on Wednesday evening, which
will be the fnal performance, and benefit
| of Mr.. Mccullough, Damon and Pyth-
las" will be the play. Never before was
there such q succession Of crowded
houses at the Opera House as there has
been since Barrett and Mccullough have
been playing their present engagement.
This shows how we'll real dramatic tai
ent is appreciated by our theatre going
public. Only three nights more of the
engagement remains. Improve the
golden opportunity, for their like will
not be seen at the Opera House again
very soon.
INpaRIAL-ExPIRr "A slight accident
occurred at the Imperisl-E Empire shaft
Friday afternoon, by which the guides
10 the shaft were considerably injured,
and several hours consumed in repair
ing damages. Meanwhile the water
rose over four feet above the track
floors in the drifts, putting a stopper
upon operations in that quarter. Both
tanks, however, getting finally to work,
reduced the water pretty fast, so that
il was all out of the drifts again by noon
to.day, and work in the vein RECON-
menced. The face Of the Imperial drift
is now in hard, barren white quartz,
with no show Of silver ore streaks In 1t,
and Is forty-fve feet in from the cast
clay wall. The Empire drift has pro-
crossed eighty feet into the vein matter,
encountering nothing, as yet, very en-
couraging. Owing to these circum-
stances the price Of stocks in those
mines is not very elevated at the present
time, yet no one can tell at what partie-
ular moment q rich pay streak or body
of ore may be encountered in one or the
other Of the drifts, causing stocks to go
charging up wildly, high among the
hundreds. The vein matter between
the walls is $50 feet wide, therefore 1t
will be seen that either drift has q long
distance yet to 60 in order to find the
west wall. Stockholders must be pa
tieut. "wait q little longer" Job
had patience, you know.
RrcovsaISa. William Nicely, the
deaf and dumb miner whose right arm
was so badly crushed by a cave at the
Hale l. Norcross mine some three or
four weeks ago, is still at the Hospital
st. Vincent De Paul, Virginia, under
the care of DR.. Hitler, and is so far re-
covered as to DO able to walk about
with his arm in a sling. The upper
bone Of his arm wal so badly smashed
that it had to DO removed, from the
shoulder socket nearly to tho elbow.
A flexible gristly substance will form
in place Of the original bone,
and the arm will still be o
serviceable one, although Of course
not so good as before it was crushed.
Still it will be far better than q wooden
one. he can use his right hand, now,
about as well as ever. He is very for
tunate to escape with his life. under the
circumstances, aud his case will be
a wonder as well as q curiosity in
surgery.

Qua MEAN TNs.-The difference in
mean time between here and San Fran
cisco is twelve minutes and ~ffty-etght

clock, which keeps San Francisco mean
time as telegraphed.
