orsnA HousI MELopsoS.-Ths ben
q, Of Eagle Engine Company No. 8, last
evening, was q decided success in every
respect. The thsater was we'll oiled
throughout, aud the entertainment very
good indeed, with the exception Of be-
ing . little too lengthy, or having too
long . time given between the acts for
the audience to sit and YEARLY ponder
over the numerous cases Of bad spelling
on that lovely advertising drop curtain.
Thus il happened that at half-past IL
o'clock the really amusing aud excel
lent afterpiece Of " Hes a Liuatic" had
but just commenced when an alarm Of
are caused men, women and children to
rush for the doors as though they were
all luuatics. Not half the audience re-
manned to see the piece played out. A
most excellent frat part was given, and
the droll acts Of Burbank, Tners and
Rhoades, In the interlude, were much
enjoyed. At times those big shoes of
Johnny Tusrs were the predominating
feature and cleared the stage. The
Cornish Glee Club sang well and were
sneersd. The horizontal.bar exercises,
by Naylor, Mann, Battu and Hitler, of
the Virginia Athletic Club, showed very
good pro6cisuey on their part. Billy
Haylor did the "giant swing very well,
Mann and Battu hung BY their little
noses, and ysang Hitler by his fantas-
tie tos nails. They all did well. Man
agsr Rhoadss has prepared another
choice bill for tonight, which cannot
fail to attract. Read distributed pro-
grammss.
Som Doc SroRirs.-A friend Of ours
writes as from Silver City that he knows
Of . li,tls Scotch terrier slot down
there, which is nursing and rearing
with the tsndsrest aud most motherly
care q litter Of Eve kittens, the feline
mother having accidentally got killed.
The most singular part of the story,
however, 10, the little terrier has got so
that she can initiate the purr Of an old
cat in soothing her strange family TO
sleep, aud the kittens themselves have
already learned TO bark n little, like
puppies. Yea, verify, ''truth is stran-
ger than fiction" but a Kentucky paper
says that Mr.. Charles white6rld, Of Ma
son County, Kentucky, has n dog called
Ca6, which recently killed a wildcat
that had just eaten n Of his masters
setting hens. he then took the place
Of the dsfaact fowl upon a nest Of
t~wsnty-fsur eggs, sat upon them until
they were all hatchsd, and has since
been providing for the brood Of chick
ems in regular hsn-like style, scratch
ing up food for them just as o hen does
for her chickens. So far, be has sue
eesded in keeping the brood entire.
DoS'r Rusa.-For the special benefit
Of those who are so very impatient to
rush out to the new White Pine Silrera-
do, regardless Of possible weather, or
how they will quarter themselves after
they get there, We copy the following
extract from . letter recently written by
DR.. 8. A. NeMeans, formerly so well
known In this section as physician and
citizen, but now living at Treas
urs City. The Doctor says: "Thns
far. our winter has been very
mild nevertheless the iusutferable
difficulties men have TO encounter in
procuring building material have great
iy retarded Improvements. Sickness
from exposure, and in some instances
dsstitution, has made its appearance
among us, and I understand several
have died from the want Of necessary
p~roisction, oil the care that could be
bestowed having proved ~unavailiug. It
10 folly for men to come here now If
they are not amply provided with every
necessary to their comfort and protec-
ton"
