OPERA Houss MELoDros.-Notwith


OPERA House. MELoDEoS.-Notwith-
standing the exceeding iuclemeucy of
the weather last evening, the Opera
House was very finely attended and the
entertainment gave general satisfaction.
This is as it should be, for if the COM
pany now performing there cannot give
good satisfaction to our theater-goers,
no other company IAN. Burbank,
Rhoades, Tuers, Bamford, Farron, Ella
LaRue, Miss Clara, Josephine and Nell
lie Hosmer are all trump cards and con-
stitute a hand never played out, and
hard to beat, to say nothing Of the ex-
csllent suit cards, comprising the bal
ance Of the company, which go to make
''game," thus winning all the points.
Miss Ella LaRue leaves for California
tomorrow night, her engagement being
then terminated. She has been a lead
ing member Of the company, and one Of
its most useful members, her great YER
satility of talent making her available
to any position. Her rope-walkiug feats
are always attractive and interesting,
she is the leading actress in the after
pieces, particularly SO in '~'shape" eI-
travaganzas and classic tableaux, and on
several occasions when others "fsiled
to connect" she has been pressed into
the service, and performed tho part
assigned her in q highly credisaols
manner Owing to an unfortunate
chronic cold she contracted on frst ar
irving, she has been in poor voice,
therefore unable to sing or play her
banjo solo, she being a very excellent
performer on that peculiar instrument.
The bill for tonight is a very good one,
comprising a choice frs. part, q rich in-
terlude, and concluding with the
"Sculptor's Studio" an artistic as well
as laughable little play, replets with
rsvishing shape and classic sabloau1.
Go and see it.
A Mup LARx.-The huge orerplus OF
mud, and the prevalence Of deep gulliss
and ehuck-holss in tho streets, aud
especially between Gold Hill aud Vir-
ginia, make i, terribly rough on cams
and omnibus travelling. The bus goes
loaded to the guards each way, wallow-
ing through the deep mire /; but, amid
the driving sleet and rain, there sits the
intrepid navigator, Doug, looking as
smiling and rosy as old Bacchus mot
Charley himself. He shouts "vir-
giuia 7" just as chesrily, and cracks his
whip Just as sprightly, as when the mud
is not knee deep. The lark, in his gay
festivity, isn't deuce high compared
with the hilarious Doug. in muddy,
stormy weather. The omnibus finds
plenty Of patrons, for, even if the fare
was a dollar each way, it would pay
anybody much better to ride than to
walk. Twelve dollar boots are easily
damaged three dollars worth by a walk
to-day from Gold Hill to Virginia. 10
fact, it would cost the price Of a ride to
get them cleaned after getting there.
THl BALL LAST NIeHr.-Ths ball Of
Wa,hos Engine Company No. 4, last
nigh. at Athletic Hall, Virginia, was q
very successful and agreeable affair,
although it would have been moro fully
attended had it not been for the fear
fully Indictment state Of the weather.
The music, under the leadership Of Fill
lebrown, was excellent, the company
agreeable, and just enough present to
fill the hall and give a good chance for
dancing. The hall was very tastetully
trimmed and decorated with aags, pic
,ures, ETC., and dancing was kept up
pretty much oil night. Had it been q
clear, pleasant night, Gold Hill would
have been more fully represented, al
though as il was, We were pleased to
meet Bittner and several others from
here indulging their light fantastic toes
in the may dance. If it bad boon good
weather, however, one ball would not
have been enough an extra one would
have been required and filled.
BooxIsa FOR WHITE PISE.-Iu order
