and appreciative audience attended
the performance Of Lady Audley's Sc
cret last evening. Miss Rose Evans
rendition Of the title character vas
fully up to the average Of her best i'm
presentations, and she was d~eservedly
applauded at various points and situa-
tions Of the piece. The balance of the
cast was we'll rendered, Thayer ap-
pearing Us Robert Audley," Hardie
as "George Tallboys," Courtaine as
Luke Marks" Sinclair as "Sir MI
chael Audley," Crowell as "Slip,n
Miss Maggie Moore as "Phoebe
Marks," and Miss Fanny Young as
"Alice Audley." The piece passed off
smoothly, with the reception Of one
or two little accidental episodes. For
instance, In the last act, where Harry
Courtaine, representing the dying
"Luke Marks" was brought In on a
bier, that vehicle Of transportation
took a notion to break down beneath
him, rolling him In al exceedingly
undigniiied manne upon the floor.
In the concluding farce Of the
Aidrming Sacrifice Courtalne kept the
audience In a roar of laughter by his
peculiarly lively and whimsical per-
sonation Of bob Ticket" Miss Alicia
Vaudeville also did well as "Susan
Speetapple." This evening being the
close Of st. Patrick's Day an extra fine
and attractive entertainment will be
given appropriate to the occasion.
Tom Taylor's celebrated lye-act COM
edy Of Court and Stage will be pre-
sented, with Miss Rose Evans In her
celebrated im~personation Of "Nell

cast of characters. A choice musical
interlude will then be given, Mr.. j. NJ.
Hardie, who is said to be q fine vocal
ist, singing the beautiful ballad Of
Josephine, to be followed by the stir
ring anthem Of the Wen ing Of the
Green, by Mr.. Hardie and the entire
company. Harry Courtaine will then
| recite Shan,us O'Brien, and the whole
will conclude with the laughable farce
of the Duel a Ia Mort, In which the
inimitable comedian, Barry, will APP
peal as the smart servant Thomas"
VIRGINIA. AND TRucEEE RAILROAD
It has been frequently charged that the
above name was a misnomer, says the
Carson Register Of this morning, rs the
company never intended completing
the road beyond Carson. This, we I'M
| derstand, is a mistake, as steps are nov
being taken to continue the road along
| the base Of the mountains through
| washoe county to connect with the
| Central Pacific Railroad ut Reno. It
is the intention to complete about ten
miles of the road this season, and next
year to continue it on to the town Of
Reno. Whether this determination of
the Virginia and Truckee Railroad
| Company will have any effect on the
prosecution of the narrow gauge road
of Beachey and company we do not
know, but do not think it will, rs the
distance 70 Reno from Virginia by the
way of Carson and WaShoe Is too
great to command the passenger and
freight business between those points.
The distance this way will be about 90
miles, or more than double the dis.
lance by the narrow gauge route. All
the business of Carson and the country
to the southwark, however, will be ac-
commodated by this road, which Will
be of considerable advantage to this
vicinity. The Virginia and Truckce
| road Is Of the same gauge as the c. p.
r. r., and freight can b. brought
through from California without break
ing bulk, and our people can take a
sleeping car here ut night and be over
the mountains when they wake In the
morning.

New GUARD AT TIE STATE PMsoN.
Lieutenant Governor Denver has put
In position as guard v. W. Cleaveland,
lately pardoned out Of the State Peni-
Tertiary. While Al inmate of the i'll
stitution, Mr.. Cleaveland's conduct
was most exemplary-so much so that
the Board Of Pardon Commissioners
thought him too good to remain longer
In durance vile. He will without doubt
make a good aud efficient officer. as he
has the full run of business inside an(
outside Of the Institution. 'Cleav'
was not with the fighting portion o
the prisoners when they attempted thu
desperate break OH December lst, 1870
wherein three of his associates were
killed and another wounded.
