PIPER OPERA HOUSE HE htN-
srRxLs.-The Murphy. aud Mack Min
strel Company, from Maguire's Opera
House, San Francisco, appeared ut Pr
per's Opera House, Virginia, on Satur-
day evening and last evening. Their
first appearance was greeted with n per-
feet ovation, the thee,er being literally
crowded I" from pit to dome with an
enthusiastic and appreciative audience.
We have neither time nor room for any
thing moro than n hasty sketch OF :heir
entertainment, but in common with all
honestly critical persons present, We can
not fail to pronounce it Of the very hrst
order Of merit. Such o grand combina-
ton of true aud versatile talent is very
rarely to be met with anywhere. The
fame, however, Of Joe Murphy, Ben Cot
ton, Johnny Mack, Beaumont, Satellite,
Jackson, Kohler, and the rest, has gone
before them, and is too well known and
established to require additional laurels
Of praise from us. Their jokes and gen.
eral wit,icisms were fresh and excel.
lieut., calling forth loud and continued
laughter, the. singing was OF the very
best, and the instrumental part, under
the leadership of the famous Schreiner,
not to be excelled. The only exception
our critical judgment could take TO any
portion Of the entertainment was TO one
or two little Ethiopian acts, which did
not amount to much. Master Benpie,
as q clogologist, is q little chief, and
will excel even Dick Sands when he gets
to be old. Kohler's cornot solo playing
is the best we ever heard. As for the
Jolly Ben Cotton, all who ever saw him
on the stage can but retain pleasant
recollections Of his happy, extensive
smile, m~elodious voice, and rollicking
abandon Of style. He didn't sing our
Young Gal from Sonoma," but he did
sing "Love among the Roses, which suits
US full rs we'll. The company left for
Salt Lake to.day to ill m engagement
there, and will return here in about two
weeks, when, with their full wardrobe
and properties, they will produce a
series of heavier and better pieces than
they were able to do this time. We be-
speak for them u kindly reception and
perfect success among our Salt Lake
friends.
PROVISIONAL ExcREscEScE ERADIcA-
roR.-Professor Tonson De la Haye
made his first appearance this morning
at Gold Hill, loudly proclaiming him
self about the streets aud by-ways rs
tho little Frenehman who can totally
eradicate corns, bunions or excrcscences
of any kind from the human feet. This
he does by means Of u peculiar patent
chemical rasp Of his own invention,
taking of the cor or proiuberance and
leaving the skin rs smooth and soft as
n lady's cheek. He comes here direct
from Reno. and says the only promi-
nent thing he found there which he
failed to rasp down to any degree OF
respectable sm~oothuess vas the Reno
Excrescence Lewis bugle).

addition TO his hotel At the lower end OF
town, making i; n Of the most re-
spectacle looking boarding houses IN
the place. DR.. P. T. Kirby has also
got his office sided up all around, a new
sidewalk and porch in front, and the
whole painted in handsome style. The
Doctor is n man of taste, MS well a' high
medical ability. 4 friead from there,
who probably has made II winning,
also informs us that faro is particularly
lively down there, and not hard to beat.
That certainly is nm improvement GU the
way they do it at Virginia.

Gerry merchant in Gold Hill, but lately a

of the great future which awaits White
Pine.

months siege of this smallpox bust

Very HoSEsr.-Joe Murphy says th'
Virginia people must be very honest
for night before last he left his nic'
little gold-headed walking stick hang
ing to the railing of the Opera House
balcony all night, and found it there al
safe next moraing. IT'S well; vet ",
would not advise Joe to take sucl
chances very often, even in that mora
and i%ucorruptiblc community.
