temple of the drama was again well
filed last evening, and two very excel
lent pieces were presented. In the hrst,
which was the beautiful play OF "Thc
Stranger" Miss Ince's rendition Of Mrs.
Halter, and Mr.. Edwards ~perSonation
Of the Stranger were given with n de-
gree of iuc artistic conception and m
passioned feeling, which, especially in
the concluding act, drew tears to the
evca of many in the audience. In
Shakespeare's comedy of katherine
and Petruchio," which was the second
piece given, Miss Ince aud Mr.. Edwards
both succeeded admirably, and to the
full satisfaction of their appreclatiye
audience. They were ably supported
in both pieces, Mrs. Reach, Mr.. Har-
rison, Harry Hawk, K. G. Marsh, George
Hinckley, &. W. Marsh, Mrs. Stewart,
and Miss Emily Ince SISTER to Annette)
being the most entitled to commenda-
ton in their respective representations.
The last mentioned lady is very useful
in minor parts, makes II good appear
ance on the stage, and what she does is
performed in II very acceptable manner.
In addition to this, she is "A very taste
ful singer, and her songs are received
with deserved applause. This evening
II still better entertainment will be
gwen. The beautiful and very popular
comedy of the " Honeymoon will be
presented, followed by "NHn, the Good
for Nothing" In this last piece, Miss
Louisa Arnot will appear as Nan, in
which character she cannot fnt! to make
a decided hit.
HrcuwAyNgS SeUELcuED.-rhosc con-
founded foot-pads who were said to in
fest the Divide between here and Vir-
ginia have not been beard of for more
than a week. They have left in the
hearty disgust of after Encouragement.
Spikins let them out. lie had occasion
to pass over the Divide n terribly dark
night about IL o'clock. Suddenly seven
teen of the sc~oundrcls, rugged out in
white masks, slouchcd hats and opera
cloaks, surrounded him, zach with II
double-barreled shotgun and two re-
~volvers pointing straight ut his head.
Hold up your hands, roared they.
"See YOU id first" says Spikins reso-
lutely, for to his brave stomach fear is
n total stranger. Detain me not,
cabaiieros. am u Bohemian like your.
selves, and am on this little arrange
ment myself, like II wolf. Imaose.' dis
perse /! gitl or III write an item tO-mor-
row that will ruin you for life, and he
brushed their batteries aside as If they
had been so many rye Straws. They
Immediately stepped back out OF his
way, took of their hats and a~pologized
in the most humble manner as SPikIns
passed on. IL any Of these fellows are
hereafter encountered in any part OF the
country it will only be necessary 10 men,
ton Spikins' name, and they will sub
side nj once.
jon FOR the Observation-Disclosures OF
lower Gold Hill desire US to call the
attention of Town Marshal Cr'Vadnll to
the fact that the vacant cabin where
Ed. Beehan recently died of the small
pox, on Main street, not far above the
White House, is rather a dangerous in
stitution. The door is left open ana the
bed, blankets, etc, in which BechAn
died are still there. The dogs and cats
20 in there and roll around III them,
and then come out aud play with the
children afterwards. That bedding
should be destroyed, the cabin burnt
up or. otherwise disinfcctcd, and the
dog and cat tronsgreSsors should be
scientifically dopsd with turpentinc, by
way Of II prophylacttc.
OLD BoREAs on THE RNMrAGE.-The
strongest winds visiting this locality for
months prevailed before daylight this
morning. Terrific blasts hurled them
selves around the base OF Mount David
son, making the buildings, particularly
at Virginia, tremble and crack at an
alarming rate. \ small shed on the
Divide and one or two light bUildlngSat
the northern ehd of the city were blown
down, while many stOvepipcs, signs and
similar commodities came to grIei'
Such high winds from the southwest
are usually portcntous of a storm at
hand.
GOULD & CURRY.-ThG heavy shaft OF
the pump esgine which was broken last
Friday morning, it seems was easier
repaired than was at first supposed. 1t
was broken of near the crank, and on
examination il was found that although
a little shorter, by an accommodating
adjustment of the crank and bearings
il could still be made available.
This has been done, and this evening II
will be in full working operation again.
There is over 100 feet of water to pump
out, which will take three or foul days,
when sinking the main shaft deeper
will be resumed.
