PrpERs' OPERA House. -" Ladies

Opera House was oriiliant Win gay
colored opera eloaks, ribbons and fancy
head dresses. The theater was crowded
throughout, and the entertainment was
mos, excellent in every respect, with
the exception perhaps that it was too
long. "Brevity is the soul Of wit In
the first piece, "Charlcs the H." Sue
Robinson performed the part Of "Mary
Comp" with her usual excellence. Otto
Burbank's ~personation OF the merry
monarch was y capital dellneation:
Burbank is a talented comedian, and
never appeared TO better advantage than
on this occasion. Woodlands facial

decided hit. Edwards fairly outdid
himself: he was decidedly brilliant, and
won plenty of new opinions very credit
able to his natural dramatic powers in
that line. In the last piece, Sue Rob-
iuson ~persoua,ed "Nau the Good-tor,
Nothing" very well indeed, and had
excellent support, but the audience was
too much laughed out and tired with
the long previous performance to prop
erly appreciate.
HARD ROAD TO TRAvEL.-Tho o
from Virginia down to Gold Hill being
more cut up by heavy quartz teams than
anv other, is very rough on all wheeled
vehicles NJ present. The ruts are worn
to the depth of over two feet, IN many
places, and "chuck holes arc very Ire.

like ships in q heavy sea. II IS terrioiE
s,raining on aXletrecs, rs well as on
animals, and ,eamsters have no very
easy ,imc of it. In Virginia 1t 10 so
slippery that it is almos, impossible for
animals to keep their footing in hauling
loads Of quartz up the cross streets from
the Savage and other mines We nave

mule while the roads are so bad.

below the Granite Mill. The teamster
fortunately escaped without injury by
hopping out of the way pretty tveiy'
His team of eigh, mules stood quietly;
like philosophers, and didn't get AZ all
excited over the accident. IL mas been
remarked BY teamsters that horses
would have tried to get away, under
the same circumstances. When any
thing gives way when going down a
steep pitch, horses will keep ahead OF
the wagon, aud thus save themselves,
while mules are apt to become
bunched.'

PLENTY OF Woop.-Firewood is said
to be somewhat scarce and dear about
Virginia and Gold Hill, yet the only
reason of it is because it is not brought
in for sale. The Eastern Slope says there
is ut this time any amount OF good, ury
limb wood in Washoe, at seven dollars
per cord in fact, that wood IS Pient'ef
over there than dollars, by several Q
sand cords. The shedding over the
Ophir Grade never was better, and We
wonder that people having sleds and
teams do not make more use OF them IN
the wood hauling line. There is quite
n nroit between seven dollars a cord
and twenty-five and thirty.
WEAR CLEAN CLorHEs.-There is no
mortal excuse for any man wearing
dirty clothes when he can get his wash

"EvERYBopy BUYS EN."-Fish, game,
vegetables, poultry and all that sort OF
thing are only good when fresh, a fact
quite generally appreciated by the pub

rush Of trade at the family provision
