PIPHs's OPERA House." Damon and
Pythias," represented by Mccullough
and Stark, was the attraction at the
Opera House last evening, and both &C,
Quilted themselves handsomely il their
presentations. Mrs. Reach a Hermione
could not be excelled, either in true,
natural acting, personal appearance,
voice or dress. It certainly was the best
rendition Of the character yet presented
on that stage; aud we may speak almost
in equal term, Of the Calanths Of Miss
Arnot. Harrison, as the representative
Of the tyraut Dionysius, enacted his
part exceedingly we'll, and Burroughs
did fairly as Lucullus, the man who
"slsw the horse" As for those noble
Senators and tho p~opulace OF Syracuse,
mono Of them seemed very responsible,
either in appearance or address, and the
effectiveness of that awkward squad
Of soldiery might have been much i'm
proved upon by judicious drilling,
fe%rocious black boards aud mustaches,
and making them straighten up and toe
out properly. They looked too much
like low comedy guerrillas. Captain
Hinckley (Procles) was the only one of
them who looked at all military.
Barnwell, the only true Roman soldier
extant, is much needed for such oeca-
sions. Another and perhaps moro
acceptable style Of plays will hereafter
be presented, commencing this evening
with Bulwer's beautiful comedy Of
Money" one of the finest pieces pre-
sented on any stage. Mccullough
will personsts Alfred Evelyn, and
Stark will appear in the rather difficult
and peculiar character Of Graves. For
balance Of cast, see distributed pro-
grammes.
Coxo CoscrsrHArED.-Since the once
populous and lively town Of Como, Pal
myra District, four or ave years ago sank
into u decline and faded gradually into
the dead ~obscur!ty characteristic of so
many of the early mushroom towns of
this State, our old friend G. W. Wal
ton has been the only n who has re-
manned true to his 6r,t love Of the place.
When everybody else deserted Como,
Walton, still retaining faith in the many
good looking lodges Of that locality set
tied himself down in all the dignity Of

his castle the large, roomy, we'll con-
strucied building, formerly Sears /
Witherell's store, and, "monarch Of
all be surveyed" he commenced con-
cen,rating the town OF Como. There in
Castle Walton are now gathered toge,h-
err the chairs, tables, stoves, cooking
utensils, and other relics Of former resi-
dents, even tho doors and windows OF
houses, and what respectable lumber lie
could gather together /; even the picks,
shovels, e~rovbars, drills, sledges aud
other tools left by the miners are col
lectsd and there gathered together and
within his castle walls, piled from floor
to ceiling, Walton has indeed corralled
aud concentrated the entire town. Will
he next proceed to concentrate the uu-
msrous lodges Of low grade ore now ly-
ing about loose in all directions? If he
can only do that, Wslton's fortune is
made.
GoLp Hill FiRSMsS's ELEcrioN.-The
election for Chief and Assistant Engi-
neer of tho Gold Hill Fire Department.
passed off yesterday in a very quiet and
orderly manner. The excitement usu-
all, consequent OF such occasions was
OF a subdued character aud we have no
desperate 6ghts to record. Neither did
we hear Of any large amounts OF money
expended in the purchase OF votes by
rival "riugs" and factions, or OF any
very large sums changing hands upon
the result. The following is the Official
vote : Total number Of votes cast, 10.
For Chief Eugineer-W. D. Z. Gibson
received % votes; A. A. Putnam, 26i j.
A.. Holden, /. For Assistant Engineer
o. T. Barber received 70 votes. Mr..
Gibson has made n very good and eth-
eient Chief. and we are glad to see him
reelected, although it will be seen that
Putnam, another most efficient and de-
serving aud popu!a, fireman, was pretty
close after him. Mr. Gibson will hnd IN
Nr. Barber a most able and effective
Assistant.

OBTusrIcArYp.-Oficer Hamlin Of
this town was suddenly awakened at an
early hour a few mornings ago by AN
excited and evidently muddled Teutonic
saloon keeper, who declared that he
had been robbed Of q purse containing
$500, by q couple of men who were At
the saloon, and ltf, only n short time
ago. He did not sec them a the
money /; he only knew it was gone after
they left. Hans went back 10 his sa-
loon, where he was soon followed by
the officer. Just as Hsmlin stepped
into the door, however, he was met by
Hans, his face all over smiles. ~
