PIPER's OPERA HousE.-One Of the
jolliest, funniest, queersss plays NO
have seen for q long time WAS Wild
Oats, or the Strolling Player" present
ed at the Opera House last evening.
The audience was n very fair one for
Monday evening, and their frequent,
hearty laughter, and applause attestsd
to their thorough enjoyment Of the
piece. This droll aud peculiar play is
not one Of great depth, but the plot is
good, aud the whole throughout il re.
plete with whimsical incidents, odd
situations aud l~aughable drolleries.
John Mccullough MS Rover, the strolliug
comedian, and James Stark as John
Dory, the old sailor transformed into u
valet de chambre, were both, as usual,
most excellent in their representations.
Harrison As Ephrinm Smooth, the queer
old Quaker, took splendidly, rs also did
Miss Arnot in the pleasing aud piquant
i~mpersonation Of Jane, and Mrs. Reach
as Lady Amarinth, succeeded well. K.
G. Marsh as Sir George Thunder, was
very good, although u little closer study
of his part would have been an I'M
proyement. The other characters were
all more or less commercially rendered.
Wild Oats" will do to repeat. To-
night /" Henry " will be given for
the FIRST time on that stage, followed BY
"a Faiu. Heart Never Won II Fair
Lady" the occasion being the benefit Of
James Stark. Everybody goes. II is
