day at Sacramento, returned by spe-
cial train yesterday, leaving Sacra-
mento at 8 o'clock A.. NJ, aud arriv-
ing about midnight last night at vir-
giuia. No. as boys arrived a little
ahead on two stages, looking somewhat
careworn and sleepy, and all went home
to bed Immediately, but our Gold Hill
boys although rather tired with exces.
sive celebrating and lack Of sleep, still
had their heads up. On alighting from
the stages they met foreman Putnam and
quite a delegation of their brother fire.
men from Gold Hill who had been re-
tanned at homo in order to properly
take care Of the town in case Of posi-
BILE 6re. Putnum at once took COM
mand, and marched them in order
from Woodruff & Enuor's stage office
down to the International, when, after
certain liquid refreshments, they
marched down home to Gold Hill.
There they found a nice spread Of eat
able, and sundry kegs of good lager
awaiting them, after the due ample and
appreciatire discussion Of which they
went home to their respective beds.
The boys are a little tired but lone the
worse for wear, as would be satisfac-
torily demonstrated in case a Ere should
happen to break out somewhere soon.
Neither company returned with as full
ranks as when they left, as many Of the
boys concluded to make their visit a
little longer, and even extend it to San
Francisco.
A Coop TIxE.-Our 6remen Of Gold
Hill and Virginia, who went 10 the Sac
ramento celebration, speak in glowing
terms Of the good time they had, and
the glorious sights they saw on that
memorable occasion. They complain of
the weather being rather warm down
there, but otherwise everything was
lovely and the goose hung high. The
Gold Hill Company, on the arrival of
the cars, was, together with their ma
chine, taken immediate charge Of by
Sacramento Engine Company No. 3,
and the Virginia boys were SINH
larly disposed of by Eureka Engine
Company No. 1 of Sacramento.
From the time they stepped out
of the cars until they stepped on board
again to leave, it was a perfect ovation
for them. Their gallant hosts would
not allow them to spend a cent, but pro-
vidsd them with an affiuence Of choice
grub, beverages, good places to sleep,
and in fact treated them just like
brothers, only more so. Old How
ard No. g." formerly Of San Fran
cisco, but now Liberty No.. ! Of
Gold Hill, was treated to q whole cart
load Of floral wreaths and trimmings
as soon as she was taken from
the ears, and as an old Acquaintance
among the old iremen, she was regarded
with feelings Of the highest regard and
yeneration all the time she was in town.
The railroad company also did all posi-
BILE to administer to their comfort and
accommodation, providing a special
train aud sending them home the next
day, although they run no trains on
SUNDAYS. All other outsiders not so
fortunate, had to lie overin Sacramento
until Monday. For all these kindnesses,
attentions, and good things generally,
the boys are duly aud aPpreciatively
thankful.
PIpxR's OPERA HousE.-This popular
theatre was not p~eshaps us denscly
crowded last evening as on the occasion
OF a good benefit night, but the entire
audience, including the fashionably filled
dress circle and the festive ~parquettc,
felt jolly, and evidently enjoyed the eu-
tertainment hugely. The Mccullough
and Stark engagement being concluded,
Shakspearian dissertations were totally
discarded, and "~Black-eyed Susan y
shone forth IN unalloyed atrraetirenes,.
HToodles" also. "Toodles" was the
a~fterpiece, aad one Harrison imperson'
ated the immortal, the ~joyial, the in
tensely groggifed aud demorallzed
"Toodle,." This aforesaid Harrison
did that thing up particularly brown, so
that the audience really did Mt know
whether he was playing the piece or
only naturally doing it on his own hook.
Did we not know him for a Good Tenn
plar, we should say he was acting on
experience. Owing to the unavoidable
absence Of Mrs. Stewart, tho natural
Mrs. Toodles, Mrs. Reach had to under
take that impersonation. She succeed
ed very we'll, considering her having no
time to study the part, and made several
very neat points. Sammy Goodchild
supported Toodles very efficiently, al
though the undertaking was rather OF a
staggerer. to him sometimes. Mary
Acorn was rendered by Miss Dayley in
her usual mildly effective style, and the
balance Of the characters were fairly
p~ersouated. Thus End the late dra-
matte season. Tonight commences the
engagement Of the famous Howson OPP
era Troupe, commencing with ala
Grand Duchesse de Gerolstein.' No
extra charge for reserved seats.
