PIPER's OrERA HoUsE.-There was a
very good and appreciative attendance
at this popular place of amusement
again last evening, and the entertain
ment given was Of the most interesting
character, judging from the loud, fro
queut and continued laughter and ap-
plause. George Francis Train sus-
talned the principal character-him-
seif-to perfection ; no one else could
equal him in that particular role. He
made one or two outside points which
were well taken, especially that in re-
gard to woman's sutferings and suffrage.
As we have before stated, George really
contains the crude elements for a very
smart man, and if he could only be in
duced to attend a little more TO the live
issues Of the day and q little less to
seif.gloriicatioa, and not be e%ternally
trumpetiug forth his many peculiar
Pharisaical virtues, making everybody
else feel dreadfully mean aud discour-
aged BY the hopeless comparison
we wouldn't mind seeing him go to
the White House a few years
from now il some capacity. Tonight
he makes positively his last appearance
at the Opera House before going gu to
the land Of Brigham. His lecture will
be a most entertaining one, as can be
seen by the long and varied list OF SUBJ
jects advertised in another column,
under the head Of "New Today"
including a period extending from the
time Of Confucius and Aaron's pork
speculation, down to General Grants
time and Sharon's California Bank
speculation. He threatens to give that
Aforesaid bank fits tonight; can he do
it? We shall see and so also will
doubtless a huge audience.
New SIoRwALks.-Chief Dowpey Of
Virginia, in his capacity as ex oficio
Street Commissioner, has done most
efficient service in causing new side
walks to be laid all along South @ street,
so that things generally in that part Of
the city wear a decidedly improved ap-
p~earauce. II he will only now cause
that small i. piece of O street just north
of its junction with y street to be prop
erly wideued and filed in, he will con-
fer n lasting favor on the travelling com.
muui,y. It u be done at avery small
expense.
New FAMILY SroRr.-Monuot, at bis
new store on 9 street, Virginia, a few
doors north Of the Enterprise office, has
q most excellent and extensive assort-
meut Of family groceries, provisions,
fruits, case goods, etc., for sale at the
cheapest cash rates. Call on him.
CAvEp o~s.-Night before last John
Suyder, a workman at the Sierra Nevada
works, was caved on and badly hurt in
the side. Although his injuries are OF
a severe nature they are not considered
TO be dangerous.

ARRESTED FOR STEALING.-Yester-
day, Deputy Junkins canght a fellow
named Joseph Shilling, who says he
halls from Harrisburg, Pa. ,and brought
him to the lock up. In searching his
pockets, five pairs Of small shoes were
found concealed about him, which led
the authorities to think was larger
stock than he had any need of. Efforts
were made 10 ascertain where he had
got them and after q long hunt it was
discovered that F. NJ. Porter and J. B.
Merge, on Main street near Union, had
lost a corresponding number of pairs
and kinds from their establishments.
The clerk in Mr.. Porter's store identi-
fed those taken from Mr.. p, and Shil-
Iing'was held to bail in the sum of 5000
for his appearance at the next term of
the Circuit Court. This he was unable
to give, and in default was committed
to jail.
Tho Same party was detected in steal
ing pair of gloves in the store of
hrs. LarkinE, on Market street, and it
was for this theft he was taken into
custody. The other larcenies were SUBJ
sequen:ly developed, as narrated above.
On his person two keys were found,
which aroused the suspicion that he
was an expert in some business not
very legitimate, perhaps. We presume
he will be examined on the other charg-
es in day or two, and he may now
regard himself as booked for " pro-
longed visit in this region.

VELOCIPEDESTRIAN young
gentleman of this city recently under
took to make the longest journey on a
bicycle yet attempted in this REGION
On Thursday evening he left for Wash
ington, Pa, going outas far rs Triadel~
phia, This he accomplished in one
hour and fifteen minutes, (seven miles,
without alighting from his steed. Re-
manning in that place over night, the
next morning he resumed his journey,
and reached Claysville, (fifteen miles,)
in two hours and a half. After getting
dinner for himself and horse at
that place, he proceeded to fin
ish his trip, arriving at Wash
ington, (ten miles) in two hours
twill be seen that the time actually &C.
cupied In travelling 80 miles was a
fraction less than six hours, which
would do no discredit to a tour-footed
horse. He declares that he was not
more fatigued when he got to his jour-
news end than if he had made the trip
in buggy.
After remaining in Washington few
days he returned to the city by the
same mode of locomotion, accomplish
ing the distance in seven hours and a
quarter. He says that all along the
route his novel steed attracted marked
attention, and in some instances the
crowd impeded his progress materially.

MAN KILLED AT PIEDMoNT.-Yeste
day we recorded the killing of Mr.. j.
Jay johnson, Express Messenger on
the Cumberland and Trostburg road,
Monday afternoon. About the same
hour young man in the employ of the
Railroad Company was run over by a
train and killed at Piedmont. The
young man, whose name we have been
unable to learn, had just got a holiday.
He had dressed in his clean clothes,
and was waiting for train to take
him to Washington city, whittier he
was going to visit his mother,a widow.
he was lettering about the engine yard
among the trains, when he was caught
by one and killed. There are several
painful condolences about the death of
these two young men. Both were the
sons of widows. johnson had made
every arrangement to visit his mother
the same evening. Each was sent to
his mother corpse by the same train
upon which he had expected to take
passage.

ATTEMPT TO COMMIT sU1CIDE.-Yes-
terday morning, a citizen of South
Wheeling, Frederick Rotherman, at
tempted to put an end to his existence
by drowning. Fortunately for him,
several parties became aware of his
design in time 10 Illustrate It. We
heard three or four reasons assigned
for the rash act, but none of them may
be correct. One story has it that he had
endorsed for nephew to a considera.
BILE amount, who subsequently failed,-
another that domestic infelicity was the
cause.-a third, that he had become dis.
spirited and melancholy, and sought
this remedy to be relieved from his
troubles, whether real or imaginary,-a
fourth that his mind had become dis
turbed on the subject of religion.
The affair created quite an excitement
in the town tor some time. Mr.. r. was
taken to Martinsville in the hope that
a change of surroundings might i'm
prove his mental condition.
