OPERA House MsLoDEoN.-0tto Bur-
bank made his fret appearance in n
junction with the present excellen. COM
pauy at the Opera House las, evening,
and was received with a hearty and pro-
longed ovation Of applause from his
numerous old friends and well wishers
who crowded the house. Burbank,
Rather, Goes, Ashcroft, Sprung and
Weaver make q pretty strong team OF
male performers, without mentioning
any of the rest. The walk around is
especially good now, even the lttiest
man of the crowd, Jimmy Moore, being
the best clog and jig dancer of his age
and weight on the Pacific Coast. The
Pi1ley Sisters and Maggie Moore are
yery excellent in their ballads, dances
aud choice de~lineations, while Carrie
Simons, Estelle and Blanche are each
good in their respective lines. This is
now much the best melodeon company
on the coast, therefore q hrst-class en-
tertainment is given nightly. Last
evening the comic dramatic burlesque
entitled the "Streets Of New York ="
was presented for the first time, and
passed off admirably. 1t is very anus
ing. Lew Rather rs Hezekiah Dodge
in this piece did admirably. 1t will be
enacted again tonight, together with Il
splendid bill Of other attractions.
Tue LECTURE. LAST NIcuT..- DR..
Simms evidently increases in favor with
our lectue-goiug people, for last even
ing he had a larger audience than ever.
Athletic Hall was well crowded. indeed
10 great was the jam that a section OF
the seats broke down, the same as they
do at a circus or q camp meeting some
times. His illustrations on Physiog-
Monty were pleasing and interesting in
the extreme, aud his delineations OF the
Irregularities and characteristics of the
various styles Of laughing, walking,
shaking haads, etc, were very amusing
and good. He induced several ladies
among the audience to rise up and walk
backward aud forward, and described
their characters and peculiarities BY
their walk. The ladies were not at all
forward in this marching movement,
but when he called on the gentlemen to
try il, half q dozen at u time were up,
sedately stalking up and down the pas
sage WAYS among the audience. They
all wanted to walk. The Hall is open
every day, free to visitors, and the Doc
tor gives examinations and charts for
So each. Subject tonight, "The Nervous
System and Mind" Only % cents ad-
mission.
RuSAwAY-HoRsZ KtLLED.--Thers was
quite an exciting runaway this morning
in Gold Hill. A Mr.. Stewart from East
Walker River with Il f%our-horse team
loaded with farm produce, traded with
Mercer & Tucker, receiving in return Il
load of -four, rice, and other groceries,
and about 0 o'clock started for home.
He stopped his team in front OF StocEle's
boot making shop on Main street, and
had Just got off TO 90 into the shop
whom his team started, and the brake
s~lipping al the same time, the team was
directly off on a terrific run down the
s,eep street. They ran down as far as
the Sunderland mill, in the lower part
of town, where they were suddenly
stopped by horses, wagon and cargo
piling all in a heap. One horse got
some Of his legs broken and had to be
shot, and the others got somewhat
scratched and bruised. The wagon was
not seriously damaged, some Of the rice,
-four and other groceries got scattered,
but the greatest loss was in the untor-
inmate animal being killed. Very few
country teams will do to trust alone on
steep down grade with q heavy load,
pointed towards home.
PRoGaEss OF tue RAlLRoAD.-We arc

pected we shall see the iron horse put.
fng and scratching in full view OF GoId
Hill, as the track will be laid TO the
west end Of Tunnel No. l, at the lower
end Of American Flat. On the 10th OF
of this month, it is calculated the loco
motive will cross the high trestle bridge
ocross Crown Point street, in Cold Hill.
HrALrH.-If drugs are the true pro-
moters or recuperators of health, then
Morrilr's well known drug store, g
strsst, Virginia, is a perfect magazine
of health, for a larger aud finer selected
assortment Of drugs is rarely TO be met
with, including specifics for every
known or unknown disease. a good
drink of soda or pure carbonic acid
water from Morrill,s new fountain IS
exhiliratiug, refreshing and good, and
Morrill, himself is a good man to deal
with.
RrrVRSED.-Constable Thomas Har-
kin, Of Gold Hill, returned this mora
ing from his short visit to his relatives
and old friends in Iowa, and will as
sumo the duties and responsibilities Of
his Office again in due time, Joel Neis'
vinder having oGiciatsd in hs place
satisfactorily during his absence. Har'

n.arapce and flesh, evidently not hav'

WHERE TO EAT.-If any n doubts
