last evening at the Opera House. wei
they might be, for such jam OF people
is seldom seen. The lower, upper,
hurricane and poop decks were all
crowded, even every inch OF ~s''huin
room being occupied the captain 5
office, steerage, saloon and all the state
rooms were full. Down in the s'eersS
we saw some sixty or seventy emma
men. and on the main deck were a oery
of pink-chceked, cherry-lipped, pig-eyed
damsels in dungaree pants, all OF whom
were seduced thither by George Dow
nev. the great Tycoon, before whom al
the faithful bow in celestial obedience.
After the frat part and walk.arouud,
came n most extensive and varied inter-
ludc, 10 the course Of which numerous
volunteers appeared, in song, dance,
and general delineations. The trapeze
and gymnastic e~volutions Of the athletes
were particularly commendable the
tumblins Of Jack Lee especially so.
The Irish lit of Lizzie Williams and
Mr.. Murphy, and the champion Cue
Jig" of Wallace Wright were also very
good. The entertainment closed with
"Richard 3 Times" The regular Opera
House troupe never did better; and the
whole was q great success, financially
and otherwise. Another big bill is out
for tonight, and tomorrow evening
will be "ladies' night" again.
HEAVY ON Horse FLEsu.-A horse
committed suicide on G street, up there
in Horutowu yesterday, by butting his
brains out agains, Il quartz wagon, and
according to the newspapers-oeiore
the unfortunate critter was fairly dead,
the Piutes and Horntowners lit upon
him like u parcel of starving buzzardS
and coyotes, and divided him up IN no
time at all. The wrestling and fighting
over the tripe and sausage material is
described as terrific as we'll as amusing.
Frank tried to be on hand, but was too
late, Dan was ahead Of him, and there
was no hope. 4 dead squaw, horse, or
even a Chinaman's jackass, stands no
more show among the Horntowners than
a cat in Tophet without claws. That
horse belonged to DR.. Hitler, therefore,
homoepathically considered, he ought
10 GO further now that he is dead than
he ever did while alive. IT'S well that
he should be divided up into aomoe-
pathic doses. Even the hoofs, cooked
up into homeopathic soup, could thus
be made to so a long ways yet.
HoRsE KILLED AT VIRGlSrA.-About
noon yesterday, Dr.. Killers spirited
span of horses, attached to a sleigh, in
which was the Doctor and another man,
became frightened and u~nmanngcable,
on South c street, Virginia, and ran at
A terrific rate uorthward, upSetting the
sleigh and dumping the occupants, Tor
tuuately without injury. The horses
kent on in their mad career until oppo-
site Wells, Fargo 4 Co.'s, where they
ran full against the rear end OF q heavy
wagon loaded with quartz. One horse
was instantly killed, his neck being
broken by the shock, while the other
escaped with two or three severe cuts,
from which he, however, will ercntu-
ally recover. The horse killed was II
valuable one, being worth $500; quite
a serious loss. Fortunately no person
was injured in this runaway.
Woop COMING IS.-At noon to-day we
met Mr.. Smith, just over from Washoe,
and he informed us that there was no
less than ten teams on the road loaded
with wood for market, which would
arrive this afternoon. The wood was
all of excellent quality, and for sale at
S25 per cord; it was being hauled on
sleds. He reports the Ophir Grade in
excellent condition for that purpose.
Why could not our quartz tcamstcrs
adopt that mode Of hauling?
