RAID ON CELESTIAL GANBLVRs.-Town
Marshal Crandall and Officer Hamlin
have for some weeks past been
watching q Chinese gamuling-house at
the lower part Of town, in the second
story Of an old wooden building, just
below the Yellow Jacket Office, and last
night, about IL o'clock, Hamlin, think
ing it a good opportunity, made a raid
upon the institution. He went up the
rear steps to the back door, which be
suddenly forced open and found himself
in = regular "elub ROOM" with gam
bling tables in full blast, dealers, bet
ters, check guerrillas and alfthas sort Of
thing. Great CONSERVATION ensued, for
they all knew the officer, but drawing
his revolver he commanded the peace,
and ordered them all to 90 with him 10
the %ealaboose. There were eleven of
them, but they all gave in at once and
started out with him. As soon rs they
got down the steps into the back yard,
however, they scattered and ran in all
directions. Hamlin blazod away with
his pistol, in the air, by way OF intimi-
dation, and out Of tho eleven he sue
ceeded in eorrelling and getting away
with seven, which he took 10 the GALA
boose ; the others escaped. On exam
ination to-day, before Justice Cook, the
matter WAS compromised by their pay
ing 500 in coin, and they were released.
PIpsR,s OprRA HousE.-" Richelieu
was presented last evening to a very
fair and sppreciatire audience. Nc
Cullough psrsonHted tho great Cardinal
in n very acceptable manner, although
it was perhaps not quite equal to his
former representation OF the same
character. Stark as De Nauprat won
fresh laurels, that Of last night being one
of his best, most faithful and correct
im%psrsouatious. Mrs. Reach did well
As Julia, and Joseph was we'll represent
cd by r. G. Marsh. Burroughs, Harrison,
Miss DALEY and Miss Arnot were EN-
titled to commendstion in tue various
parts assumed, but the support gener-
ally was not so good rs should be ex-
pected. Tonight, the grand and truly
interesting play Of Damon and
Pythias," will be presented, McCul-
Tough ~personating Damon, and Stark,
Pythias. The cast is II very good one
throughout, end with rigid and careful
rehearsal we doubt not the piece will
be very satisfactorily rendered. The
public will bear in mind that there is
no extra charge for reserved seats, let
the house DO however denscly crowded.
SoALprSo ScENE.-The other evening,
at the "Greciau Bend" dance hall,
Virginia, an uupleasantness occurred
right in tho midst Of n set Of quadrilles,
between n barbarous barber and a fat
Young beer jerker, whom he charged
with having been playing him for an
emigrant or a Chinaman. She talked
wicked at him, ~whereupon he raised his
good right hand, caught her by the
chignon and jerked it Off" snatched
her bald headed" we may say. Her
bloodless scalp, heavy with newly
bought curls, pins, combs, etc, mad
hardly struck the floor before he too
Was tloored by tho young females
lover, who calamity rushed to the
rescue about that time and gave the
barber one fright from the shoulder
That barber also wore a wig, n II

got up, took a view Of the situation,
concluded it was y draw game, aud so
picked up his scalp and left.

teudent Of a silver mine ia worth $40,
900, a rich banker 500, 900, and so on.
