PrER's OPERA Housr.-Jans Eue,

or The Orphan Of Lo,oood, was we'll pat
upon the stage, well cast, and we'll
played last night but the theater was
far from being well attended. The in.
tense cold inclined people to keep at
home by their warm firesfdes In pref
erence to Drawing the sharp, keen air,
SO filled with driving, frosty sleet.
The theater was made as comfortable
as possible, and the audience had no
fault to find in that respect. As for
the play, 1t was new to most present,
and therefore all the moge pleasing.
It Is a fairly written dramatization
from the popular work of that name,
preserving q good deal Of the deeply
interesting character of the story, and
Is a play most any one would like
much, especially If they had never
read the story itseff. The principal
characters In it were "Jane Eyre"
represented by Miss Fanny D. Price,
"Lord Rochester" by Mr.. Cathcart,
""Mrs. Reed" by Mrs. Stewart, and
LADY Georgiana," by Miss Mande-
vile. The other characters were merely
subordinate accessories. Miss Price
appeared to very good advantage as
"Jane Eyre" rendering the part most
impressively and artistically. We had
no fault to find. As a harmonious
piece of natural womanly acting, we
consider 1t one of her best impersona-
lions, giving, as 1t does, full opportu-
nifty for the display of her true artistic
genius, remarkable facility Of express
sion upon her handsome, intellectual
countenance, and that thrilling power
Of dramatic impressiveuess and start
ling fervor which she can call forth
from the depths Of her soul when re-
quired. 1t is this awakened energy of
the real actress which so freely COM
mands the hearty sympathy and ap-
plause OF her audience. Mr.. Cathcart's
personation Of Lord Rochester " wa
deeply impressive and good-we should
judge all the character called for.
Jane Eyre will be repeated tonight to
q full house, weather permitting, for 1t
is n play well worth Witnessing
SUDDEN DENTH.-A man named
William Marion, about thirty-five
years of age, died very suddenly at
Virginia this morning, and under
rather peculiar circumstances. He
came from California, and had been ut
Virginia only for the last three or four
days. He was cruising about town
with another man all last night, drink
ing considerably. His companion
finally got so drunk that he was taken
to the station-house, and about 4 O'Clock
this morning Marion came into Gre
goire's saloon, just south Of the post
Office, took 4 drink, and set down in q
chair. Shortly afterward he was seen
to sink or fall from the chair to the
floor, and died in a few moments. The
body was taken to Wilson Il Browns
neutrality-suspicious., on B street,
where it now lies, placed in q coffin.
Some blood about the lips and mouth
indicates internal hemorrhage, but his
death was probably induced through
undue exposure to the severe weather,
and too much bad whisky. We are told
he was an Odd Fellow, belonging to a
San Francisco Lodge. His companion
ut the station-house Is said to know all
about him, and we visited him for fur
Their Information, but he was too drunk
to furnish any.
The GREAT GOLD DIscovERER.-
Mr.. William Burke, appointed sole
agent for the sale of the recently pub
lished work entitled the "Life Of
James w. Marshall, the Discoverer Of
Gold in California" is now c%anvassing

1t is a very neatly bound little book,
containing a brief and correct history
of the life Of Marshall, full particulars
of his discovery of the gold, and much
other information of great interest to
all old Californians and others In this
The price Of the book Is a
mere trifle, bringing 1t within the
reach of all. 1t Is valuable for refer
ence. aud is we'll worthy q place in the
library.
GREAT MONTHLY RECEIPTS. = The
Chollar-Potosi Is the banner mine OF
the Comstock, so far as monthly yield,
Is concerned. The receipts of tho COM
pany from ore reduced during the
month of December footed up to the
handsome sum of $505,654. Thus 1t
will be seen that the dividend Of $40
e share could be we'll afforded, and
still leaves the treasury Of the company
in a very healthy state for the next
monthly dividend.
Coon AssAY.-An assay, made Of ore
from the Kearsarge mine; broken from
the ledge, which crops out Of the foot
of the mountain near the company's
mill, upward of four thousand feet
from the top groupings. shows a yield
per ton Of $657 6s in silver. We saw
the r ourself, and have reason to be-
lieve that the assay was correctly
made.

yesterday gave notice in the Assembly
of a bill for IN act to change the
boundary line Of OrmSby county. The
bill contemplates the Strengthening out
of the line between that county and
