PIPgR's OPERA HoUsE.-Last evening
Byron's fine sensational drama entitled
the "Laucashire Lass" was very sue
ecs,fully produced at the Opera House,
but to rather II smaller audience than
the piece really deserved. The two or
three last acts of the piece are especially
good, although the prologue and FIRST
act are rather prosy and devoid of much
sensational interest. The play is well
written and was we'll rendered. Mr..
lierne as the "Party by the name Of
Johnson" wonderfully sslf-possessed
aad complacent individual who always
happened around just at the very oppor-
tune moment when his august but not
handsome presence was required, was
the general fayorite with the audience,
especially when, in the last act, he ac-
c~identally stepped in and put tie viii
lain Redburn's light out, just as he was
on the point of doing some serious
bodily damage to other members Of the
troupe. At the close Of the play he was
called before the curtain. Miss Sallie
Hiucklcy made her first appearance in
conjunction with this company, and
sustained the part of Kate Garston ad-
mirably. The greatest fault the audi
encc could find with her was that she
did not speak quite loud enough. Miss
Western as Ruth Kirby, Mrs. Reach as
Nanay Danvills, Harrison, George
Hinskley, Hairy Hawk, Beatty and
some of the others were entitled to
special commendatiou in their various
representations. The new scenery and
pier scene, by Hires, added much to the
effect of the piece. The ''Lnneashire
Lass" will be repeated tonight, and,
we trust, with considerable less drag
between the acts. No extra charge for
reserved seats.
SMALL-pox AT GOLD H~rLL.-George
Lyford, up at Fort Homestead, broke
out lightly with the varioloid yesterday

flying reports to the contrary notwith-
standing. Drs. Zabriskie and Hall, two
trusty guardians of the public health in
this town, kindly keep us posted in this
matter every day, and we are not so

US, Imore especially as they have uot
misled US thus far.
