PIipra's OrsaA Housi-THr MAErI-

PIpRR's 0rERA HousE-THr MAErI,
SlrrIs.-Ths Green Monster" at.
tracted another good house last evening,
and most excellent satisfaction was
given. Tonight, in addition, will be
given a new piece, entitled the Secre,
Marriage" q comic domestic panto,
mime, also q series of "Academical
Posturings," by young Iguaeio Mar.i-
netti, only 5 years old. This little chap
of an artist is really o wonder in his
way, and does up those classic postur-
ings after q style excslling many more
p~retentious performers ten times his age.
His act needs but to be seen to be fully
appreciated. His training is wonder
fully perfect, and he operates IKE a
piece of machinery. The Individual
who spoke the FIRST and only lines in the
"Green Monster" last evening, is a poor
reader, but managed to get through
better last evening than he did the even
ing before ; the machinery also worked
much better. In fact, the piece is the
most amusing, intricate, sensational
and fun producing Of anything we have
seen produced On that stage FOR many a
long day. Notwithstanding the extra
attraction tonight, the price Of admis-
sion is not raised, neither is there any
extra charge for reserved seats.
Orr FOR THE FArHERLASD.-Henry
Piper, Of Virginia, extensively known
rs one Of our best citizens, and more Of
truly loyal Union American than many
who are native and "to the manor
bern" left at noon to-day for a trip over
the big railroad and the salt Atlantic,
ON q short visit to his childhood's homo
in Germany. Last evening a large
party of his numerous warm friends
gave him a pleasing and appropriate
farewell, in the shape Of a social dane
ing party and supper at Armory Hall.
We dropped in for a few minutes, and
Independent Of the good time they were
having, we must say there was the best
looking lot Of ladies' present we have
seen at any party this season. In COM
mon with his other friends, We wish
Henry an agreeable and safe voyage,
and speedy return. May the aromatic
breezes waited from the yine-clad hills
of the Rhine, inyigorate his top hair,
and send him back happy, single or
double.
WAsHoE FRUIr.-A lot Of splendid
apples, six varieties, large and delicious,
with pears and plums, was sent last
week to General Winters, in Gold Hill,
by Ross Levers, Of Washoe Valley,
which were raised in his garden-of
which we got a share-and in point Of
size, flavor, and beauty, will bear COM
pSarison to the highest priced fruits sent
here from California. Yesterday, we
received a box from Captain j.. Martin
Reese, of Carson City, containing a fine
lot Of apples, pears, plums, c%urrants,
green and red peppers, which were
raised in DR.. Sharp's garden in Carson
City, which very agreeabE surprised
us; and they would surprise almost
auybody-for nearly everybody in the
State disbelieved in the ability Of our
soils aud climates to produce such
fruits. Our people can now lake cour-
age, for the experiment has been sue
c~essfully accomplished. A most beau
tiful bouquet of flowers also accompa-
MED the acceptable present of our old
friend Captain Reese.
MEXICAN CrLEBRArIoS.-To-day being
the anniversary of the independence OF
Mexico, the Mexican portion Of our
population commenced the celebration
thereof at midnight last night, after
their usual style, at Virginia, by the
firing of guns, pistols, etc., and q torch
light procession, headed by q band OF
music, with which they paraded the
principal streets. Repairing to a hall
on North G street, they had singing,
music, speaking, and a variety Of exer-
ci,es, keeping up the festivities OF the
occasion until o late hour-some OF
them all night. Of what the exercises
of to-day consist we are not advised,
but this evening there will be more fes-
tiyities, terminating with q grand ball
at Armory Hall, B street.
MISxa's CABiS RoBBkD.-Night before
last Albert Burgess, a miner in the yell
low Jacket mine, had his cabin, which
II, situsted Just back Of the Confidence
works, broken into and robbed Of all
the cooking utensils, dishes, knives,
forks, spoons, etc. The stove had a
FIRE 10 it, therefore was not taken. Con-
stable Harkiu thinks from the articles
taken that this dirty little burglary was
the work of Chinamen. Whether it was
or not, any one who would deliberately
rob a miners cabin ought to be shot as
being too mean to live. This is the
second or third time that Burgess has
had his cabin robbed within q year.
STREET IIrRovENESr.-Under the d.
rsc.ion Of Chief Downey, ex.oficio
Stree. Inspector, south G street, Viz
ginia, Just north Of its junction with B
street, is being properly widened and
filled in. When finished, large loads Of
wood, hay, o~mnibuses, etc. can pass
Zach other conveniently and safely with
out collision. The only other improve
ment we can suggest in that vicinity is
the removal Of that cistern cover, which
sticks up so awkwardly in the middle of
the street, and the filing up OF tue cis-
tern itself with waste rock.
RAILRop PASoRANA.-A grand panor-
annie painting, representing all the
towns and places of interest or tote
along or in the vicinity Of the great
Continental Railroad, including Vir-
s;nia and Gold Hill, is being executed
by Messrs. Updike & Perry ofReno. The
views from San Francisco to Salt Lake
are already finished, and the others
through to New York will be as soon as
nossibie. They are all taken from pho
tooraphs, and so far as finished are said
to DO very good.
sxILL-pox.-Ths Enkerpriss Of this
morning says: eve had supposed that
W.. were free from this disease; but it
.s.ms that it still fingers with US.
Osicer Carter yesterday discovered a
case. and hung out q yellow flag, on
Sontb D street, in front OF the Savage
works. Possibly the disease may hang
on NH cold weather sets in, and then
break out as bad or worse than las
