representation of the old preacher who
had conscientious scruples against kill

there was q fight OH hand, when lie

highly applauded. The scenery, exc
cuted by George r. Bell, added much
to the good effect and success Of the
piece, and the music Of the orchestra

best artist who has ever swung his
brush over any of the scenery OF that
theatre. and he is now engaged not
only upon new and splendid scenery,
but will repaint all the old, something
considerably required. He Is also
going to paint Il new drop curtain, to

ExPArRIATED OR "PLkYED."-The
following is from the Carson Register
Of this morning: "Some OF the boys
about Gold Hill and Virginia have
already counterfeited the seal Of the
Vigilance Committee, and We fear they
PLAYED Uncle Vesey, OF the former
place, Yesterday. Having received \
ticket of leave. signed, sealed and
delivered the old gentleman seized
his carpet-bag. containing a single
change Of clothing, and started imme-
diateIy, reaching this city about U
| o'clock last evening. Fearing pursuit,
and to find a place Of greater safety,
he proceeded OIL to the State PRISON
| about sundown, and as he marched
| down Carson street, with his little
carpet-bag slung over his shoulder on
n cane, he looked the very picture OF a
| United States Senator from n OF the
| Southern States after the amnesty law
shall have gone into effect
IScESpIARY ATTEMPT.-At about l
o'clock last night an attempt was made
to burn the old Central mill, at the
north end Of Virginia. The engineer
nj the Ophir works, heal by, perceived
the fire when 1t was first kindled, and
sounded the alarm with his steam
whistle, which being responded to oy
the tire-bells Of the city, the Fire De-
partment were promptly ont with
their machines ready for action. The
fire, however, was eXtinguished with
out their assistance. From the place
where the fire was set, and the fact
that the mill has been lying idle for a
long time past, this was clearly an
incendiary attempt. We are also in
formed that the scoundrel himself was
seen in the act and running away as
the alarm was given. Pity he was not
caught at it and Immediately shot or
hung. without waiting for even the
Vigilantes to get hold of him.
BEyEFIr To-NIaHT.-Those pleasing
| juvenile dramatic prodigies, the Nathan
Sisters, take a complimentary farewell
benefit at the Opera House tonight, as
their engagement closes' only two
more evenings, when the give room
for other attractions. They appear
this evening In u lauSiaole eAtia'a-
CANA Of The Happy Nan. or Paddy in
Tadia, also in their champion Irish jig.
The principal play of the evening,
however, will be the very popular
drama Of EnOch Arden, never before
presented in this section-a piece which
of itself should draw q crowded house.
We hope to see the talented little Ma
thans receive a substantial benefit to-
night.
