Piers OPERA HousE.-Thc melo-
deon season closed last evening with
the benefit of Miss Minnie Corbyn.
Several professionals volunteered and
an entertainment Of unusual excel
lcnce was given. Miss Corbyn was
not only complimented with the best
house of the season since the opening
night, a tribute due to her true merits
as a talented singer and actress and
lady, but she was also made the pleased
recipient of a very acceptable silver
bullion brick. 1t was a handsome,
substantial testimonial Of esteem from
a number of personal friends, and the
presentation was not made OH the
stage, ostentatiously before the audi
ence, therefore the speeches were no
formal studied arrangements, but short
and to the point. This fine little brick
weighs about * pounds, very neatly
moulded BY Bousfield & Co., the we'll
known Virginia assayers, and Is APP
propriately stamped and engraved. 1t
was the handsomest present IN that
line we have seen for many n day.
This evening the Duprez 4 Benedict
minstrel troupe make their first ap-
pearance for q season Of three nights.
The old troupe would do we'll mt the
Carson Theater for three or four
nights, christening that refitted and
now really new theater.

p. II. yesterday Pete Nestell, who lives
near the lower Savage works, Virginia,
came home rather tight, and CON-
menced abusing the wife of John
Murray, living next door. Murray
resented this, whereupon Pete drew n
knife and made for him. Murray
picked up n stone and hit Pete OIL the
forehead, knocking him down, and
took the knife away, Pete's forehead
was badly cut by the stone, and he also
received an ugly cut on the back Of his
head as he fell. DR.. Green had to be
sem for to sew up and properly dress
the wounds. Murray was subsequently,
arrested by officers Watt and Morrow,
and gave bonds in the sun Of $500 to
appear for trial when wanted.
CELESTIAL RND.-E Evening before
last, down at Chinatown, in the lower
suburbs of Virginia, a Chinaman was
set upon by three others Of the pig-tail
race-one armed with a pistol, another
with n knife, and the third with a bar
Of iron. They got him down, and the
one with the knife commenced killing
him by sticking him IN the throat rs II
he was a hog, bleeding him very freely.
The one with the bar of iron hit hiu.
4 mash across the left thigh, cutting
and bruising the flesh badly and almost
breaking the bone. The third was
about to polish him of properly with
his pistol, when outsiders interfered
and prevented the consummation.
Search was made for the invaders, but
without success, until last evening,
when two Of them were found and
captured in a wash house up town.
