p,pEa,s OPERA Housr-GnAxD opxS-

PlpER's OPERA HoUsE-GRAND OPEN
ING NIGHr OF THE NEW DRAMATIC SEA-
sox.-This evening, after a close of
several weeks, the Opera House will be
reopened and a new dramatic season
iuaugurated, with Miss Annette Ince as
the first bright star, in conjunction
with Mr.. Harry Edwards, the popular
leading actor from the new California
Thcater, supported by Miss Louise Ar
not, Miss Emily Ince, Mrs. +. F. Reach,
Mrs. E, F. Stewart, Geo. W. Marsh, K.
G. Marsh, James Harrison, Harry Hawk,
John King, George Huxley and George
French, comprising II combination of
rare talent aud versatility seldom seen
in one company. The piece selected
for this evening is Sheridan Knowles
splendid fve-act play entitled "The
H~uuchback," in which Miss lnce will
%personate Julia, one Of her favorite
characters, and Harry Edwards will ap-
pear as Master Walter. The balance of
the cast is good. The box office is open
for the securing of reserved seats, and
as the greater part of the dress
circle is already taken, the house can
not fail to be well filled tonight.
There is no extra charge for these re-
served seats they are simply taken in
advance by those bringing ladies, or
otherwise anxious TO secure the most
desirable seats. The doors will open
at I O'Clock and the performance COM
meuces at s. Mr.. Piper has gone to II
considerable expense and risk in bring
ing this excellent aud costly company
up here at the present time, and it cer-
tainly is to be hoped that our theater-
going public will literally sustain him
in his efforts to furnish them II theatre
cal entertainment and n p~leasurao!e re-
sort worthy their attendance.
TRAINING INcIDEYT.-One of Breed 4
Crosby's large teams, of twelve animals,
heavily loaded with quartz, was cross
ing the Divide this forenoon, and when
Just below the Fulton foundry, strug'
Cling along through the deep, stiff mud,
the near wheel-horse got one OF his hind
legs under the forward wheel, and he
fell. The team was Mt once stopped,
and after considerable hard work SHOW
cling and raising the wheel by means OF
a jack screw placed under the hub, the
limb was released sufficiently to alIow
of the poor grooming animalbeing hauled
out from his painful position by means
of u span Of horses hitched to the breast
chain of his harness. Contrary 90 all
expectation, the leg was found not to
broken, but only badly bruised and cut,
so as to lay the animal up for n few
weeks. It certainly was n very narrow
and fortunate escape, and is illustrative
of the troubles aud trials encountered
by both teams and teamSters At such
times as these.
Cons AND Cor M~ARR,ED.-By refer
euce to what is printed under the head
Of " Marriages." in another part OF this
paper, it will be perceived that our
friend T. F. Smith, Superintendent OF
the Sierra Nevada mine, has been forth
over into the sunny land of the olive aud
the grape and taken unto himself a wife.
The Bible says that he who mHrrieth,
does we'll" We concur. Under the
improved management Of the present
officers Of the Sierra Nevada Company,
Smith especially, the mine is prospering
amazingly, and so, too, in his newly
formed matrimonial partnership, we
cannot but wish Smith aud his happy
bride ~uualloyed prosperity and ever
brilliant future prospects.
NTr. ptrTfsppg AT
Sutterley's well known photograph GAL
lsry, Virginia, yesterday, we saw some
very handsomely executed groups of
members Of the Emmett Guard in that
city. They were taken in full uniform
and in o very clear artistic manner, just
As they came from the parade on Saint
Patrick's Day, and one of the groups
which Col. Sutterly has just flushed
and touched up in the proper colors in
his best style, could hardly be excelled
in any respect. II consists OF Captain
Arnold and FIVE others of the company,
and for true soldierly bearing, martial
and general tone OF artistic
execution, the picture will recommend
itself to all good critics,
A FILTHY PLAcE.-AbOut the worst
street crossing in the city of Nirgini"
is the very one which should be the
best, and kept in the best possible con-
ditiop. We refer to that from FeuSier's
corner across to the Postotsce and the
office of the Pacific Union Express
Company. II costs but little to keep q
good crossing at that point, where 1t is
required more than at any other in
in the whole city and we should sup,
pose that a correct eye to business would
induce those most directly interested 10
have the filth removed and n good de-
cent crossing properly maintained. "a
word to the wise,' etc.
WEATHER CocXrArL.-The weather
still continues to be considerably mixed.
There's Il dash of snow, II few squirts
of rain, n little hail, II squirt Of bitter
cold, a rummy old squall, and n whisk
of high winds, with II few s%poonSiUl OF
fair weather and sunshine by way OF
sugar or syrup favoriug, and II fair
quantity Of ice. The whole is well
mixed by the bar-keep, Old Boreas,'
who has had long experience in that
line, and serves it out TO us in doses
such as we have to take, despite our
wry faces, whether we like his mixture
or not.
DowyEY FOR CuIEr.-As will be seen
by reference to official announcement in
our advertising columns under the head
of "New To-day" George Downey
comes ont before the people "a candl-
date for the office of Chief Of Police of
Virginia City, at the ensuing May cleo
ton, subject to the decision Of the City
Union Convention Mr.. Downcy has
been for years connected with the regu-
lar, special and detective police OF that
city, and his reputation as an active
aud efficient officer is well established.
1t will take u strong mar TO beat Dow
ney in the contest for that position.
