p,prn,s OpEHA HousE.-Last eyen-


ing the popular comedy of The RirnIs
was presented. 1t is one Of the finest
and most amusing of comedies as per-
formed by Lawrence Barrett and his
excellent dramatic company from the
California Theater-the best yet ap-
pearing at the Opera House. Mr.. Bar
rett personated Captain Absolute :
Edwards, "Sir Anthony Also
lutte; :" Raymond, "Bob Acres;H
Messenger, "Sir L.ucius O'rriggs;"
Mrs. Judah. Mrs. Malaprop;" Mrs.
Sophie Edwin, Lydia LanSuish;''
Miss Gordon. "Julia;' Miss Katy
Wilson, "Lucy; :" and the balance of
the cast was very acceptable. The
leading parts were admirably aud eff
fectively sustained in every respect.
Edwards was particularly effective,
and Mrs. Sophie Edwin appearing here
for the first time Won the good opinion
of all by her superior style Of imper-
sonation. Raymond was, rs usual, the
funny man Of the piece, and indeed
never appeared ina happier vein. \
very good and appreciative audience
was present, and we could not help
noticing one point in their DEM
o~nstration of applause. This consisted
not in the formalities of stamping and
clappinS of la.ds, but in frequent,
loud and heartfelt laughter, showing
how natural was their interest and
attention Throughout, the entire de-
lineation.- Another important and
acceptable point observable is the total
absence of drag in any OF the pieces.
All goes along smoothly, the scenery
and all the properties are well mail-
aged, and the audience sent oil home
in good season, well pleased and COLI
tented. This eveing the very popular
F'dmiiy will be given, with Barrett rs
"Captain Murphy Mcguire, and the
fivoiite farce OJliye Benson will con-
clude the entertainment, RecOliect
that there is no extra charge for re-
served seats.
BoLp HIGuwAY RoBBERY.-Hcrcto-
fore all the recent highway robberie'
have been confined to Gold Canyon
and vicinity, which circumstance has
allowed the Virginia police to brag
that none of these ferociOus foot-padS
have dared to venture their operations
on that side of the Divide. Last even
ing, however, 4 very bold highway
robbery was committed almost under
their very noses. About 10 O'Clock
Samuel Wood, son OF Alderman Wood
in that city, in u light wagon with Il
young lady, was takinga ride ont to
view the great Piute fandango now
progressing about Il mile southeast of
the city. when about halfway between
the roundhou<e OF the railroad anu the
tunnel, they stopped In the bend
of the road by Il couple OF toot-padS who
stepped from their hiding place. One
seized the horse by the bride, while the
other. 4 perfect giant according to
Sammy's idea. presented 4 huge pistol
and invited him to alight. This he
did, and was directly relieved OF II sill
yer watch and chain and $40 in cash.
The lady begged so hard that they gal
lantly rcfraincd from taking Il nice lit
tie gold watch and other jewelry She
had about her. Bidding Sammy TO
get aboard and drive OIL, lie obeyed
with ~alacrity. They went to the tall-
danSo, and were not moleSted on their
return. These brigandS were both
masked or yelled, and Sammy SwearS
that the barrel of that pistol was n
big around n 4 nail keg. and he saw
over a peck OF bullets ut the bottom ct
il. We hope those dcpraved villains
will not dare To rob any of the police,
or commit 4 burglary on the station
house.
