immense audience TO the Carson The
ater last night; in fact. the whole
house was packed 10 the verge of suf-
location. The performance fully JUS
titled the large attendance, III proof Of
which we may cite the fact that IL was
a matter OF astonishment 10 all pres
en- that a piece requiring such clabo-
rate and intricate machinery should
have been placed upon the Carson
stage with so much &C .uracy OF detail.
With due Difference to the brighter
lights of the stage, candor compels Us
to say that Miss Grace Heziep, a
Peachblssom, was the "bright particu-
lar star of the evening, and that her
fidelity TO the text and superb acting
swayed the audience as ii by magic.
of all the presentations of the charac-
ter of Peachblossom we have ever
witnessed, Miss Hezlep approaches
nearest to perfection. In TACT, there
is no conceivable Improvement to be
made upon her impersonation OF the
character. George Hinckley showed
q thorough knowledge of n charac-
ter OF smokey, and p~erSonated il we'll
throughout. Pierpont Thayer, as
Ray Traiford, was master OF the
charactcr-as he usually is of any part
he is assigned to. All the other char
acters were we'll represented. The
steamer PLYING on North river was
we'll managed; Smokey met with a
mishap i'm upsctting his skill, which
wa happily turned to account by Ber-
niuda IL. :. Marblel; but the railroad
sccne-wlth a life sized % locomotive
and passenger train-was admirably
represented: and so well pleased was
the audience that Mr.. Proctor at once
decided TO repeat the play again to-
night.
FIRE.-A fire broke out in Gaigc 4
Mays Magnolia Saloon, at an early
hour yesterday morning, which came
near proving disastrous. II seems that
the range used by Charley Legate in
cooking for his chop stand had heated
the brick wall at the end of the coun-
ter early in the night, and that about
daylight in the morning tho woodwork
about it took fire. Before the saloon
was opened yesterday morning, u gen
tleman passing saw the room filled
with smoke, and breaking Il pane of
glass in "A sash door, entered II found
II end of Legate's counter in flames.
They were soon extinguished, and
thus a conflagration prevented which
would have destroyed the county
buildings, and perhaps a large section
of the business portion OF the city.
or ARr.-C. Il. Mcclellan, the art
list, has recently received a large num-
Der of orders for portraits, and at
present his studio is lined with hand
some paintings. II Is n pleasure to
visit him and see the magic effect oi
his handiwork. Fine life-siZed portraits
of Humboldt and Kit Carson, or allie,
CORRAL and historical paintings from
his brush, would form the handsomest
o-rnamentation with which our legis-
lative halls could be decorated, and
his services ought to be secured fol
that purpose. Age would lend valu,
and Interest TO such paintings, ant
time Will scarcely develop All artist o
q higher order Of talent than that to b
found in our unassuming pioneer o
the ~sagebrush.

Assembly yesterday had occasion 4

Assembly that no such rule existed

the matter, and called out, "You wi

v and three Ills ''two XXs and on
J." etc.
WEATHER.-Yesterday morning "

lines meet daylight.
