The very popular burlesqus Of " %Ixiou,
or the Man at the Wheel" Was given
last evening, at the Opera House, and
drew an appreciativs audience. Itisa
very odd burlesque, comically ridiculous,
and therefore extremely laushable.
There are some very rich and beautiful
costumes in it, and some very seanty
ones, also some intensely droll ones.
Raymond, especially, shone forth as a
bright particular star, ~personating the
Goddess Minerva in most killing style.
That " Grscian Bend" song Of his is
one of the most eIquisi,ely funny and
ridiculous acts on record. Miss Thomp-
son represented IIion very satisfactorily,
so also Mis-, Gordon did Jupiter. All
the ether gods and goddssses were sfsc-
lively psrsonsted, and Little Louise
Walton, as Vesta. received much ap-
plauss. The PiIley Sisters also APP
pearsd TO excellent advantage, in parts
assumed, and Miss Minnie Walton ap-
peored to excellent, uurestrained adran.
tage, as Mercury, tho celebrated tel
sgrsph boy. The numerous songs aud
choruses in the piece were generally
| we'll rendered. 1t is not a piece ealcu-
lated to please quite everybody By any
means, but it does very well by way OF
variety. "Delicats Ground" another
droll little piece, preceded it. John
Mccullough takes his grand beusst to-
night, when Richelieu" will be pre-.
seated, with Mccullough as tho Cardi-
nal, and Miss Thompson a, Julia lie

Bssgrrr OF JouS McCuLLouoH.-This
evening the popular actor, John Mccall
Tough, takes his grand benefit at the
Opera House, and, most appropriately,
the play selected for the occasion is
" Richelieu," in which, as the Cardinal,
Mccullough won some Of the fines.
laurel leaves which deservedly eacirels
hi, dramatic brow. Miss Thompson will
appear as Julia de Mortimer, aud the
balance Of the cast is very good, AS may
be seen by reference to distributed pro-
rrsmmes. This benefit will be out
another complimentary tribute to true
bistrionic merit, and az such will be
dali estimated by the deserving recipi-
snt. As the Enterprise says: "To him
the profits Of the entertainment are
nothing. lie has va1ed rich during tho
past two years, and is generally regarded
As one o. The bloated bondholders" OF
IN, metropolis. The eEolumeuts oftHa
entertainment will BE distributed among
hi, friends in the way Of presents.
What be covsts is the imperi.habie
glory OF n large audience-au indication
that there has been no waue in his pop
ulari,y-and it is safe TO say that there
will not be standing room ia Tue opera
House this evening"
BIG Lor OF GAME.-Tbe Carson Appeal

Eies and Jerome Thorington came into

! had several birds Of very curious Char
! aelcri.tic,, which excited the wonder OF
all who observed them.

has been pretty severe over in Washoe
Valley the last two or three nights, and
the lake i, frozen over, fve or six inches
thick, furnishing splendid skating,
which circumstance is being taken into
active and p~leasursblc consideration,
BY both lady and gentleman residents
Of that locality these ine moonlight
nights.
THs RIGHT OF rHE RoAD.-Consider-
able complaint is made about teamstsrs
leaving their wagons standing on q
street. and about the Divide, every
night, sudsugerirg passing vehicles. A
big quartz wagon is u rough old institu.
ton to run asoul Of in the dark, and
,aey should not be allowed 10 obstruct
the street. They have no more right TO
DC 40 than other vehicles.
