PRER's OPERA HoUsz.-The beau
tiful little domestic drama Of the
Cricket on the Hearth was we'll given
last evening, although the attendance
was not quite so good as 1t might have
been or the real merits Of the play de-
served. Mr.. Cathcart's personation of
"Caleb Plummer" was very good In
deed. Miss Sue Robinson, as Little
Dot" could not. be excelled; and
Mrs. Ellie Wilton succeeded excel
lently as Bertha" the blind girl.
The balance Of the characters were
commercially taken. In the very
laughable farce Of The Dead Shot
which concluded the entertainment,
Mrs. Wilton personated Louisa Love-
trick" In good, energetic style, and
Mr. Simms' .inimitable p~ersonation of
Hector Timid" was received with
much hearty and deserved applause.
Miss Hezlsp also succeeded well as
'Chatter." This evening Don Cesar
de Bazdn, o. the Gypsy Dancing Girl,
will be given, with Mr.. Cathcart as
"Don Cesar" and Miss Sue Robinson
rs Mariana" The favorite comedy
Of The Lady Of Munster will be given
in conclusion, Leman. appearing rs
"Sir Lawrence Paragon" and Miss
Sue Robinson IS "kate O'Brien."
REsURREcrED Doa.-About a week
ago officer Hayton, at Virginia, killed
a dog for biting q little child on A
street, in THAT city. He shot the vi
cious brute two or three times with his
pistol, and then beat his head with a
club till, being satisfied that he was
dead, he threw him over a fence. Yes
terday that self-same dog came crawl
ing home to his owner on South B
street, looking sadly out Of repair, but
liable to recover. That dog has evil
IDENTIFY rs many lives as a cat.
New SKATING RrNK.-Our energetic
fellow citizen, VIM. by. Doane, last
evening opened a new rink for parlor
or roller skates, In the National Guard
Hall, corner of Union and d streets,
Virginia. He had a fine band Of music
in attendance, and there being a large
crowd Of skaters present, n huge
amount Of fun was enjoyed. Such
frequent tumbling by the awkward
ones and novices VAS highly amusing,
every minute or so some one falling
down OF their ear.
ANOTHER CHIEF.-As will be seen
by the usual notice in another part Of
this paper, Chief of Police Downey, of
Virginia, was presented by his wife
with n nice little twelve-pound son
yesterday. The young "perlice" is a
lively little chap, and manitests good
detective qualities, having already fer
reted out some concealed milk. George
Downey looks all the happier for his
new acquisition, and his friends all
alphabetically rejoice with him.
TuEATER LIcENsE.-We notice that
Assemblyman Williams, at Carson, has
introduced a bill to increase the rates
of theatrical licenses. II he had at
tended Piper's Opera House the last
two or three evenings, he would see
what a rough joke he was pe~rpetrating
upon somebody, and the effect Of such
increase would be to close the theater
altogether. Theatrical managers have
not got rich in this section during the
lost year or two.
10 TowN LOT OwNERs.-Partiss

clined chute, q distance OF l4O feet,
head first. The front portion Of his

COOP SQuIRrrNe.-On Sunday after
noon, at Virginia, Washoe Engine
Company. No. 4, had their lively ma
chine ont for drill. They took water
at the Delta cistern, on G street, and
playing through 100 feet Of hose, sue

of her class can equal that.
The STOLEN LETrERs.-Among the
property recovered at Truclee, OF
which the United States mail, was
robbed at Alta, were all the registered
packages made up at the Sacramento
office. None of them had been opened, |
and no mutilated papers or packages

case Of San Francisco.
