NIGHT. = Proctor personated the
Stranger" in the popular play Of
that name last evening, after his usual
excellent style, and Sue Robinson rs
Mrs. Halter. by the very effective nat
uralncss Of her rendition drew tears to
the eyes Of many Of her auditors. We
have seen few equal her In that CHAR
acter. and indeed had hardly thought
even her so capable Of its personation.
But then, rs we have frequently re-
marked, she Is always excellent in
whatever she undertakes. Tonight,
Proctor appears In his great speci-
atty, the .Jibbenainosay," in the
wild American drama, "Nick of the
Woods" The "Black Crook" will
be discarded, and the Sangalli ballet
troupe will, between the acts, give
some Of their choicest ballots, conclud-
ing with the beautiful Zephyr"
dance. This will be n better arrange
ment than heretofore. and the enter
tainment not so tediously long. This
being the last night but one, the house
will doubtless be crowded.
TIE ALHAMBRA.-Theodore Jackson,
formerly Of the famous Cotton & Muir
ply Ministries, appeared as "interro-
gator" in the first part, last evening,
and also in a good song. Joe Childs
appeared in a champion clog. also in
snndry comicalities. Miss Ida Wallace
also made her first appearance In song,
dance, and character net. These three
new acquisitions are all good in their
peculiar roles, and an acceptable addi-
ton to the already fine company.
That grand tableau transformation
scene at the close Of the "Black
Crook Is indeed fine, and very cred
table to its artistic projectors. The
Crook will be repeated tonight, to-
gether with an extra good bill OF choice
varieties.
GoINa no CELEBRNrE.-As will be
seen by reference to advertisement in
another column, to-day, that our col

GREAT FIRE AT WASIroE.-YeSterday
morning, about l o'clock, n destructive
confagration took place at Washoe
City, whereby a large portion of the
business part of the town was de-
stroyed, including the handsome two
story brick Masonic and Odd Fellows
Hall building, besides the hotel OH the
corner, clothing store, bakery, restau-
rant, barber shop, sundry Chinese wash
houses, and other buildings. The fire
originated in a lodging house. and

time thought that the whole town

exertions the career Of the devouring
element was at length checked.

quartz teams of twelve animals. with
one large wagon and three "back-
actions" hauled 5000 pounds. OF
Gould & Curry ore from Virginia to
the Sacramento mill, at Johntown,
below Silver City. Nearly 30 tons ut
n load! Crosby had better back up
and take the whole Comstock ledge on
next time. What would people down
East think of such teaming as this:
BURGLARS At CARsoS.-The appeal
SAYS that burglars attempted a clan
destine entrance into Fox's book store
ON Sunday night, by making a hole
through the rear wall, but = noise
made by n person sleeping in the store
frightened them away. Shortly after
ward a policeman spied three susp'..
cious characters Oil King street and
tried to make them stop, but they
would not. so he fired ut them. Ihey
returned fire and LEFT in q hurry.

O'Clock last Friday evening. They cut
into the ledge matter in the Holmes

tinued west, and there is plenty OF
| chance for q good strike before reach
