seen here-and we are pleased to see
that he is billed to appear In that char
acter this evening. The balance Of the
cast Is also flrst-rate, Mrs. Stewart per-
sonating "Old Fadet," In which she
excels all others. Go and see Fanchon

The NEW WEED SEWING MACHINE.
The latest and best of all inventions in
that line Is the new Weed sewing ma
chine-Weed' most improved. 1t Is
very substantially made, the simplest
Of all sewing machines, eve liable to
get out of order, and adapted to all
varieties Of family and everyday sew-
ing. 1t makes the firmest kind Of a lock
stitch, and is so simple In its operation
that a mere child can learn to operate
it effectively in a very short time, and
any person with ordinary human capa-
bility can learn to operate 1t within
fifteen minutes. 1t Is just the machine
for persons dwelling remote from town
where there are no repair shops, and
its price brings 1t within the reach OF
all. At Gilman's, the agent, South &
street, Virginia, opposite Wells, Fargo
& Co.'S, a day or two since, We saw q
very satisfactory test Of the capabilities
of this truly valuable machine. 1t
sewed successfully and successfully
through thin muslin, silk, paper, broad
cloth, buckskiu, sole leather, aud two
or three thicknesses Of other kinds of
leather. passing from n to the other
with the greatest facility, and no
trouble at all. The new Weed machine
has taken the latest and highest pre-
miums wherever brought into compe-
tition with any other patents in that
line, and is the best Of all. Ladies or
any other persons who are judges Of
the article will justify u recon-
incubation Of It, on calling at Gilman's
and examining the machine itself,
where they AN find it in full opera
ton.
RooUEs' GALLERY.-The latest num-
Der of the National Police Gazette just
received from New York, contains,
besides a detailed account Of the recent
great railroad robbery near Verdi, q
tol0rably fair picture illustrating the
scene, and a full page or gallery OF
quite good portraits Of the robbers
themselves. The worst joke perpe-
trated In the matter was putting what
purport to be the portraits Of Chief
Downey and officer Lackey at the head
Of the lot. It is n mighty rough joke
on those active and efficient officers,
for according to these pictures the rob
bers have the most respectable appear
ance. Downey Is made to look like .
counterfeiter or hrst-class pickpocket.
That picture looks no moro like him
than It resembles the "man In the
MOON" Ben Lackey, too, never
looked so bad rs that picture does. 1t
makes him look like a captured chicken
thief, or a foot-pad OH the Divide who
has just had q dark lantern flashed full
in his face by a policeman. Such
dreadful pictures are discouraging, and
the artist perpetrating them should be
imprisoned for libel.
"JuGoEp."-By this we don't mean
getting into jail-not much. Two
mysterious jugs were sent to this office
a few days ago. by some unknown
reprooate, who hasn't the fear Of any.
body about him. The jugs evidently
came from Carson City, sent by the
Templars, perhaps, and n contained
three gallons of excellent wine vine
gar, while the other contained old
Bourbon. No doubt the donor thought
that if one did not suit wi taste the
other would. AL a mistake, as we
never drink.
HUMOROUS ENTERTAINMENT. All
who would enjoy a real beneficial,
hearty laugh, or listen to some Of the
finest gems Of elocution, should attend
the lecture or entertainment Of Pro-
fessor Plummer next Saturday evening
Mt Miners Union Hall, Gold Hill. He
will give a series Of his choicest reclta-
! tionsohumorous, sentimental, define
alive and otherwise-and being the
best In his line ever appearing In this
section. all who attend will enjoy q
truly pleasing literary feast.

TO attend the grand vocal and instru-
mental concert to be given at Miners
Union Hall this evening, under the
direction Of Professor Pasmore. The
Ladies' Mite Society of this town are
the getters up Of this concert, and as

and Virginia will participate, 1t Is sure
to be a fine success. Admission for

SALT LAKE TuENrRIcXLs.-The Salt
Lake Herald of last Tuesday says
"Miss Sallie A. Hinckley and Mr..
George W. Thompson left by train on
Sunday afternoon en- route for Denver.
Their closing performance on Saturday
night was financially a great success,
and artistically a triumph. Miss
Hinckley's "Frou Frou'' was one oil
the finest pieces of acting we have seen
OIL our boards"
MILLS SroPPEp.-About three hun
dred yards of tho great Mexican flume
on the Carson river was destroyed
night before last by a break n mile
below the dam. In consequences o.
this mishap. both the Mexican and
Morgan mills have been compelled to
shut down for a week.
INCESDIARY.-There Is now no doubt
that the burning Of Athletic Hall, Vir.
ginia, on Tuesday morning, was no,
the result of carelessness, but the work
of some incendiary. Those %scoundrels
somehow are never detected. More's
the pity.
ASSESSMENT LEvIKD.-The Kentuci
Mining Company yesterday levied an
