head Of "New To-day" it will be
seen that Mr.. Millington, the we'll
known teacher Of the polite accom-
plishment of dancing, Is about to
commence q new term at Athletic
Hall, Virginia. This month will be

dowa, Gallop and Schottische. Gen.

PpER's OPERA HousE-"CAMARAI-
zAMAS."-1his play was again pre-
sented last night at Piper's Opera
House. There was a very fair house
in attendance, although the piece had
been rendered three consecutive even
ings. The play Is not one, In our esti-
nation, best calculated to draw well
on a long run, vet 1t has many beauti-
ful parts, all Of which were ably and
artistically performed by the Bonfanti
Troupe. This entire troupe have shown
great skill in the business In which
they are engaged, and doubtless will
continue to receive q liberal patronage
to the full extent Of their engagement.
Tonight, "Cinderella" will be pre-
sented.
TnE This theater Is
becoming more popular every night,
particularly so with married gentle
men. The domestic scenes exhibited
nightly at this place are n very attrac-
tive feature of the performance. II
any lady's husband remains out late
of q night, the chances are two to II
In favor of his being at the Alhanlbra.
There Is a sort Of familiness about the
performance that renders bachelors
somewhat timid about attending the
entertainment. 1t would be well for
the proprietors Of this institution to
arrange matters 70 rs to give an enter
tainment on stated evenings for the
benefit of young men and bachelors.
The LADIES FAIR.-The fair at Ar
mory Hall, Virginia, still continues to
he well patronized and hence has con-
tinued to exist and prosper. we un-
derstand 1t will last several nights
perphaps as long rs the fair business
pays. Amer 10 o'clock each night
dancing "a carried on for the benefit OF
those who desire to engage In this style
of amusement. The object OF the fair
the finishing Of the new Catholic
Church-as we'll rs the variety OF the
entertainment, has made the fair quite
4 popular place Of evening resort.
A FINE PAINTING FOB SNLE.-We
offer in to-day's issue a splendid pano-
rama for sale, and owing to the present
owners being engaged In other busi-
ness Il will be sold very low. IL isa
magnificent painting, and when ON Il
hibition In San Francisco, where 1t was
shown for a few days 1t ELECTED from
the city press many very flattering no
tees. We believe 1t would attract
crowded houses in any town In the
State and pay for itself within thirty
days. A full description Of the paint
ing can be seen at Il office.
To SrocxMEx.-It will be seen by an
advertisement In another column, that
c. Ham Light, of Virginia City, As
signee in Bankruptcy, will sell at pno-
lie auction, at Pine Valley, Elko Coun-
". OH Monday, the 9TH day OF March,
a large lot Of team mules, harness,
wagons, etc, belonging to the estate Oh
John Creighton, q bankrupt. Here Is
n chance for some people who nave
money to invest, as the sale Will Dc
peremptory, for cash.
The WEATHER, yesterday and to-day
has been delightfully."- pleasant over
head-a most striking contrast with
the a~nkle-leep mud and slush In the
streets-which, however, Is fast drying
I'D. The late storms have been most
valuable to the country, and the little
Inconvenience Of mud amounts TO
nothing. Let another just such a storm
happen in three or four weeks, N we
will all exclaim "bully" for the clerk
OF the weather.
CHANGE OF TrME.-On and after
Monday next, Wells, Fargo & Co.'S
