perfectly satisfactory, consisting as 1t
did of one of the finest and most inter-
esting comedies, "Still Waters Run
Deep" with John Mccullough In his
famous specially OF John Mildmay,
succeeded by the deservedly popular
afterpiece, "Cool as q Cucumber"
Mccullough as John Mildmay, in the
first piece, fully equalled II not excelled
all his former enactments OF that ex-
cellent character which we have Wit
messed, and certainly carried the fullest
sympathies Of the entire audience with
him through every phase OF the inter-
esting delineation. His cool decisive
ness In various telling situations ex-
cited the sympathetic applause OF all.
Not so, however, with the unlucky
rascal Hawksley, who was so ably
represented by Mr.. James Garden. He
had no friends In that audience, the
talented actor almost creating q bad
impression against himself from the
very n~aturalness and facility Of his
delineation. Barry's personation Of
the speculative and i~rresolute old
Mr.. Potter was most excellent. Ellie
Wilton succeeded very we'll as the
talkative, meddlesome Mrs. Sternhold,
so coolly aud effectually squelched by
John Mildmay, and the irresolute yet
we'll meaning Mrs. Mildmay was
fairly represented by Miss Nellie Cum
mings. In the concluding play MIR.
Owen Marlowe personated the prlncl-
pal character, Plumper, and certainly
seemed "Cool as a Cucumber" sure
enough. We don't think he could
we'll be outdone in that peculiar de-
~lineation. The other characters were
effectively p~ersonated, especially that
pretty little housemaid who stood
hugglng so we'll. This evening Shak-
speare's famous tragedy Of Richard
LII. will be produced, with Mr.. Nc
Cullough as the hump.backed, lumpy-
legged hero, who gets himself Into
such a tight place that he offers to sell
short on his dilapidated kingdom or
trade 1t off for q horse, same a old
Comstock traded of his interest In the
Ophir, because he didn't consider 1t
worth much. Mr.. Garden will per-
sonate both the Earl Of Richmond and
the Duke of Buckingham, and the
other characters in the play are cast to
the full strength OF the company. The
terrific broadsword combat between
Richard and Richmond will be q lively
feature Of the play, as both are no
scrubs with stage swords, and either
one can stand an accidental slash like
a Christian, even though they do lose
a finger or two, an a or o bit ofscalp.
Next Monday night, benefit and last
appearance Of John Mccullough.
DOMESTIC BRUTE.-One McGee was
arrested by Town Marshal Harkiu yes
terday morning for beating and terri
bly, abusing his vito. He Is a miner
when he works, and they have been
living in Crown Point ravine, with
three children to share their domestic
joys or miseries. They had an infant
child a few weeks ago, but Its life was
short. She is said to be q steady, quiet,
Woodworking woman, and he seems a
good man enough when sober, but
Whenever he got liquor In him the
devil possessed him to cruelty beat and
abuse his poor wife. Being a large,
healthy man, he was able to do this,
and OH Sunday last he succeeded In
thrashing her soundly, backing both
her eyes; aver giving her a good lick
over the forehead with a pick handle.
She has borne his cruel treatment till
she could do 80 no longer, and was
Obliged to have him arrested. Through
her intercession, however, Justice Pu:.
nam only fined him $40, in default Of
which he was sent to the County jail
for twenty days. When released no
/, to let her alone and try and lead a
different life, she declaring that she Is
fully able to support herself and child
ren. They have been destitute enough
Of late, lacking food and even the
necessaries of life, as we learn from
Mr.. Harkin, but tho neighbors have
now provided for their immediate
wants. It Is not pleasant to us to
record such aggravated cases OF domes-
tic infelicity-such most potent argu-
ments in favor OF woman's rights. AS
Shakespeare says, "He who raises his
hand against q woman, save in the
way Of kindness, Ia a wretch, whom
'twere base flattery to call a man."
HALE AND NoRcRoss.-The retim,
bering Of tho lower and principal shaft
of this mine throughout its entire
length, Is now completed, and the
cage guides are being put In. Double
cages like those in the Yellow Jacket
and Crown Point are to be used, and
in a short time the good deposits Of
ore at the lower levels will be coming
out at a lively rate.
SNow.-The "beautiful snow" In
fleecy flakes Is falling DER town and
hill, aud as it melts 1t runs along in
many q muddy rill. 1t has been doing
this since noon, and the sagebrush,
roofs and mountains are all white
with the fleecy mantle. Perchance
1t may storm all night. The dust Is
laid. 'ris we'll.
CLOSING OF TIE FArR.-The excel
lent Fair being conducted at Miners
Union Hall by the ladies for the bene-
fit of st. Patrick's Church, Gold Hill,
is drawing to a close, therefore all en-
loving It's pleasantness will have to
Improve the time while 1t lasts.
PA1SrEp..-The new Overman hoist
ing works buildings have received a
coat Of dark brown flreproof paint.
This substantial establishment presents
quite au imposing and prominent ap.
pearance from tho upper end OF cold
Hill and the Divide.
BELcuER REcErPTs.-The receipts OF
the Belcher mine for October are re-
ported by the Secretary at $318,640,
and Its expenses at $4,000.
KESrucK REcE1prs.-The October
receipts OF bullion from the kentuck
mine footed up to a little over $40 600.
Ar CARsoS.-Senator Nye arrived
at Carson yesterday from the Eastern
nart of fl,A State |
