PrrEn's oprsA HOUSE -aE,

PrrER's OPrRA HOUSE -"FRou
FRoU."-Miss Fanny Price was very
justly and appreciatively compli-
mented last evening, at her benefir,
with the largest audience of the sea-
son. A better pleased audience We
never saw. The famous play or FrOu
Froa was given for the first time in
this section, and 1t took admirably.
The piece was excellently put upon
the stage, with the following extra
good. cast: "Gilberte " iFrou Frou),
Miss Fanny B. Price; "Henri DeSar-
torys," j. F. Cathcart; Baron De-
Cambri." Walter Lehman: "Monsieur
Brigand " father to Frou Frou, ]. B.
Robinson ; "Piton "(Prompter Of the
Palais Royal Theatreh w. Slmms ;
Louise sister to Gilbertel Mrs. FL
lie Wilton; Baroness de Cambria"
Mrs. Chas. Edmonds; pauline tGil-
berte's maidl, Miss Jennie Vaudeville.
The plot Of the play Is interesting, and
1t abounds with highly-amusing Incl
dents and a wide range Of sentiment
from the comic, gay and frivolous to
the most deeply sensational-all In a
happily-conceived combination, suita-
BILE to all tastes, and calling forth both
smiles and tears In witnessing Its rem
dition. In the closing scenes of the
play, especially, were the true artistic
powers of Miss Price made most con-
spicuously-manifest, and most enthusi-
astically was she called before the cur
tain at the close Of the third and fourth
acts. Mrs. Ellie Wilton made a very
favorable impression on this, her first
appearance. She Is evidently an actress
gilmore than ordinary merit andability.
She, too. was called before the cur
tain with Miss Price at the close
Of the admirable scene between them
in the third act. Miss Mandeville's
sweet ballad, By the Sad Sea Wares.
In the fourth act, was finely given and
most d~eservedly encored. The variou,
other representations mentioned were
all tirst-rate, and the music by the
orchestra was most excellent and In
full harmony with the piece. 1t was
indeed a noticeable rs we'll as highly
gratifying portion Of the entertain
ment. Fr0u Frou will be repeated
tonight to another crowded and ap-
preciativs audience. All who fail to
be present will miss the most pleasing
dramatic treat Of the season.
FATHER MANoGUE.-The serious i'll
ness of this well-known and much
loved Christian gentleman has for some
days been a matter of great anxiety to
our community. We learned last night
that he was still very low, but some
hopes of his recovery were enter
tanned. Thus feelingly remarks the
Carson Register. Latest advices from
Carson at moo to-day, we are gratified
to state, say that a decided change for
the better has taken place in his condl-
ton, and he is now likely to recover.
SLANDERoUs.-We were told at Vir-
ginia day before yesterday that a man
had been found that morning standing
against a lamp-post frozen stiff and
dead, and that he was appropriated BY
an undertaken, who set up q coffin on
end and tipped him down inside Of 1t,
just In time to get ahead Of another
undertaken, who came rushing down
street with q coffin on his shoulder.
Upon inquiry, we found there was not
a single word Of truth in the story.
An AssAY.-A careful assay made q
few days ago Of the dirt on Main
street, Gold Hill, to the depth Of four
feet, showed a yield Of silver of S62S,
with a trace Of gold. Talk about the
streets Of Jerusalem being paved with
gold, Here In Gold Hill our main
is paved with silver /; or, as the
Cinnamon used to say In California,
pan, one color"
COLD NreHT.-The coolest night eS-
p~erienced in this section for the past
two or three years was last Thursday
No II about here cares to
endure another such a cold snap.
Even those who slept double had
enough to do to keep warm. 1t was
mighty rough on single bachelors.
TIE MITE HoP.-'rhe Ladies' Mite
hop at Miners Union Hall, on Thurs
day evening, was well attended. The
company and general sociability was
all that could be desired, and the extra
good music lent additional pleasure to
the occasion. .

The Rev. J. McCormac will hold d.
vine service in st. Johns Church to-

COMMISSIONER OF DEEDs.-The Gov
ernor of California has appointed
George W. kenney as COMMISSIONER OF
Deeds, to reside at Eureka, Lander
county, Nevada.
SLEIGHINa.-rhe sleighing Is not
first-rate, but we noticed a few cutters
and other vehicles on runners peram-
bulating the streets Of Virginia this
morning.
