NIGHr OF ruS New DRAMATIC SEAsoY-
1.-THE HUScuBAoH."-The Opera House
was well filed in every part last even
ing, on the occasion Of its r~e-opening
under the auspices of Miss Annette
Incs aud Harry Edwards, supported by
a very excellent company. The piece
given was Sheridan Knowles Ave act
play of The Hunchback.' Miss lnce
sustained the character of Julia in n
very pleasing, foreible and impassioned
manner, thoroughly artistic, natural
and good. She is an old ~favorite here,
and as such was welcomed on her APP
pearance last evening. Mr.. Edwards is
a iue actor, OF good voice and stage
presence, aud perSousted Master Walter
last evening in u style not easily ex-
celled. Miss Louisa Arnot AS Helen in
gratiated herself ut once into the favor
of the entire audience by her very easy,
natural, piquant and agreeable style Of
acting She has n rich voice, pleasing
appearance aud cannot fail to be a
prime favorite as long rs she plays on
that stage. Harrison as Sir Thomas
Clifford, played his part admirably and
we'll. lie is q very superior actor, and
never appeared to better advantage
than last evening in both dress and
general portrayal. Harry Hawk sue
ceedsd admirably rs Master Modus, the
pastoral youth who studied "Ovid's
Art OF Love" and the comic sparkling
sceus between him and Miss ArnOt was
laughable in the extreme. George w.
Marsh as Fsthom made n lying hit,
and the other characters in the cast
were commercially sustained. The
piece was applsuded much throughout,
and the numerous ladies adjoining the
crowded dress circle seemed especially
we'll pleased. In fact, we never saw a
piece pass off more smoothly on that
stage, there was no drag or blunders
percoiyable, and the voice OF the
prompter was satisfactorily silent. All
passed of just right, and the entertain
ment was through with by II O'Clock:
The beautiful sensational play oil
"Medea" will be presented tonight,
with Mis-, Ince in the title character.
Reserved seats a be secured ut the
box Office of the theatre without extra
charge. The new company was a
triumphant success last evening, II
we bespeak for them good houses during
their engagement.
FEusrzs 4 Co.-This old firm name is
as familiar us II household word to all
old residents in this section, and is
looked upon as one of the regular insti-
buttons Of the country. Their store in
the fine brick building at the corner OF
G and Taylor streets, Virginia, is known
to everybody, and if any person could
have one.twentieth part OF the value OF
goods sold and delivered through the
front door Of that store during the
las, eight or ten years, he would surely
ask for no more, unless he was an ex-
tremely unreasonable individual. Faml-
lies from the country and families IN
the city, miners, millmeu, all trade ut
Feusier L Co.'S for their groceries, pro-
visions, LIQUORS, and all that sort OF
thing, and find everything satisfactory,
both in quality and price. Read their
advertisement in another column, n
then call at Feusier Il Co.'S.
TERRIBLE WHIsxy.-A friend writing
from Genoa says: "There is Il little
dead-fall down street which keeps q little
the d-dest whisky | ever tackled in my
life. The old fellow who runs it owed
me a bill, and I had to take it out IN
trade, so, like a cussed fool, ! tried to
drink it out. In less than three weeks
my throat got so sore that | couldnt
say my prayers, and there were holes
eat through it MS big rs three cent
pieces. | had to quit, for it got so ut
last that il was like swallowing red not
carpe, tacks." That, now, is what most
anybody might call pretty rough old
whisky, and even worse than some we
used to know Of over in Como, that used
to burn a fellows mustsche oil. Nobody
who drank at that bar could wear any
sort of n decent mustache at all.
LIVELY BUsIygss.-Mercer < Tucker,
Main street, Gold Hill, are doing about
as lively business at the present time
as Any firm we know OF. Four large
"schoouer loads of groceries, provis-
ions and general merchandise in their
line was Yesterday unlonded at their
store, and more still coming. In TACT,
the sidewalk in front of that store IS
seldom free from goods, either oeing
received or delivered. Mercer i Tucker
certainly arc doing an immense business
PEOPLE must like to trade with them.
Read their advertisement in another
column.
SuALL-Pox IxcREAsE.-The Enterprise
of this morning reports three new cases
Of smallpox at Virginia, and says there
are at present some thirty cases Of the
disease in that city. The late stormy
weather has caused an increase IN the
number of cases. We have no new
cases to report at Gold Hill to-day, hut
our exchanges all speak OF the disease
Increasing in various localities. At San
Francisco there was 4 large increase
last week over the week previous.
SrocE BRcHERs.-W. S. Rhelan, so
long aud fsvorably known to the public
as a member Of the firm OF ChubbuckN
phelan, at the Gold Hill Postofice, has
become associated with II. II. Flggg in
the business Of brokerage, etc. The
name Of the new firm is II. II. Flagg "
Co., and their office will be the same as
that heretofore occupied By II. II. Flagg,
Main street, Gold Hill, just above the
Bank Exchange. See notice in another
column.
"IRrsH AssURAXcE."-Thc l~aughablc
force entitled "Irish Assurance and
Yankee Modes,y " will be given for the
.ferpiece at Piper's Opera House to-
night. Miss Louisa Arnot will per-
senate Nancy Stokes, in which charac-
ter she will not fail to make a decided
hit.
SMALLPOX on THE DrvrpE.-We rave
il on good authority that there are
seven cases or more Of smallpox on tho
Divide. A Mrs. Johnson died there OF
il on Sunday. Three cases OF the d's-
esse are a, the little private pest house
at that point.
