most excel.
lent new pantomimic fairy extraya.
CANA Of "wee-Willie- Wrinkle" pro.
duced at the Opera House was received
with high favor again last evening.
Indeed this Is the most pleasing aud
attractive piece Of its kind ever pre-
sented on that stage, and could not
fail to take we'll. as it has done in San
Francisco and elsewhere. So many
novelties in the way Of sudden trans
formations, marvellous changes and
miraculous episodes are combined In
this piece that 1t keeps the entire au-
dienee continually amused with u
rapid succession Of the drollest and
most unexpected surprises imaginable.
1t Is "now you see 1t and now you
don't" all the time. The powerful
fairy "Florizette." after transforming
Hernandez and his old gray-headed
ootdjutor into q Clown-and-P antaloon
out Of revenge for refusing her aims
and assistance when she applied, to
them disguised as n poor beggar
woman, follows those two unfortunates
through life with direful persistence
and effect. She makes 1t very lively and
warm for them while they live, and
still more so when she finishes up their
case, the closing scene being a lumi-
nously grand and correct view of Pan
| demonium, served up red-hot, with
Hernandez and companion on the
inside, enjoying the situation to its
fullest extent. "Sich Is life" how
ever, and many q sinner Gun witness
this queer play, with its impressive
moral, to very good advantage. The
other attractions Of last evening, given
by the various members Of the COM
pany, were also highly enjoyable,
aside from the grand concluding attrac-
ton we have mentioned. The Rey-
nolds Brothers made their irstappear-
ance, and were very much a~pplauded
and encored. They were called out
three or four times, their double clog.
songs and character net dancing meet
ing with q high degree Of approval.
Their equal Is not often seen. Her
nandez, too, was most admirable In
his sweet and peculiar guitar solos,
and the marvellous scientific illusions
of Sylvester, the beautiful dancing Of
Mile. Gaugain, together with the varied
| specialties of the balance Of the com-
pany, made up an entertainment emi-
nently worthy Of the most bountiful
patronage. "Wee-Willie-W Wrinkle"
will be presented again this evening,
together with = host Of other choice
attractions. We cordially advise all
who have not yet seen this play to do
so forthwith, rs none can fall to be
well pleased and amused with 1t. To
morrow night Is the last Of 1t, as the
| engagement Of the company termi-
mates with the benefit to Hernandez.
GOLD HILL LADIES MITE SOCIETY.
This most worthy and energetic social
organization, whose purpose Is the
effcctual dispensing Of true charity in
the assistance Of the actually poor and
needy among us-a home mission, rs
it were-as we'll as for the promotion
Of companionable sociability and
amusement among the ladies and gen-
tlemen composing good, respectable
society in this locality, has thus far
been eminently successful, and truly a
credit to Gold Hill. Although but a
few months in existence, numerous
| families and individuals in need have
cause to bless the Ladies' Mite Society
for timely and effective assistance rem
dered, and In this way they have eX
pended the sum Of $l,l55 81 In cash
In order to raise the requisite funds or
income to carry out their charitable
objects, without resorting to the ever
obnoxious system Of direct begging,
the ladies inaugurated a series OF
musical and dramatic entertainments,
socials, ETC., and the small fee Of ad-
mission charged has been their resource
in supplying their treasury, thus COM,
bining true pleasure with practical
charity in a most agreeable manner.
In dispensing their charities the ladies
have exhibited no narrow-minded sec
tarianism, but distributed their bounty
regardless of creed or nationality, tho
extent of their assistance being limited
only by their financial ability and the
supply Of their treasury. At first the
society was connected In Its charitable
labors with St. Johns Church. but an
other society, called the Parish Aid
Association, being now organized to
attend more particularly to that de-
partment, the Ladies' Mite Society
will hereafter direct its undivided re-
sources to practical charity. In their
praiseworthy objects the ladies may be
assured of being sustained both morally
and financially by the general public,
and their pleasing entertainments Will
be well attended and popular, as here
toforo.
MAIN STREET CRossISG.-When the
Virginia and Truckec Railroad was
being graded through from Carson to
Virginia, we, as we'll as many Other
citizens of this goodly burg, were I'M
der tho impression that the place where
the railroad was made to cross Main
street, at the upper part Of Gold Hill,
would be the scene of frequent and
unavoidable accidents, by reason OIL
the peculiar locality. 1t was generally
prognosticatcd that teams in passing
would be liable to BIO run into by the
locomotives, especially the long, heavy
slow-traveling teams, and also that tns
heayily-loaded quartz wagons, VIII
wheels rough locked, would tear the
rails of the track from their founda
tions In passing. In fact, these ant
plenty of other accidental and Incl
dental calamitous results were pre-
| dicted. But mark the actual record o.
, the matter In the past eighteen months
during which time the road has beer
In steady use, with trains passing ovel
that crossing backward and forwart
almost hourly. Accidents to life o.
, limb have been no more numerous thar
: at any other points along the whole
road, neither have there been any col
lisions whatever with teams. The rail-
have never been torn from their places
l.. but remain more firmly fixed thai
ever. Trains pass and ropass withou
