prrn.s orruA Horsx.-ac.mIlle,

drew a good audience last evening, all
desiring to see the sterling actress,
Miss Dsreon, In the title character OF
this famous play. Her Improvisation.
of It was considerably above the aver.
age. and throughout she endowed 1t
with a spirited intensity Of feeling and
pure d~elineation seldom seen. As
a deeply emotional actress she has
few equals, and where the situa-
ton demands energetic, spirited &C.
ton, che l. fully equal 70 the require
ments. We regret that she was Inter-
rupted In the second act BY tho whis-
Ting Of certain foolishly noisy individ-
uals in the parquette, but she was ex-
ceedingly prompt and decisive In ST.
lencinS them, saying that If there was
n officer present she desired the noisy
persons expelled, or II they did not
wish to stay they might leave, and
their money would DO refunded to
them at the door. She was most vo-
citerously applauded by tho approx
ing audience, and the play pro-
ceeded without further interruption.
The Armand Duyal Of rhayer was
smoothly and correctly given as usual,
and the Madame Prudence Of Mrs.
Stewart was very effectively given.
| Lloyd's Count de Sarville was we'll
rendered, and Mrs. Beatty 40 Olimps,
and Miss Eberle a Nanine. both sue
ceeded very acceptably. The other
| characters were generally we'll given.
| This evening the beautiful comedy Of
the Honeymoon" win be given, with
Miss Dargon as Julisna, Thayer as
Duke Aranza, Barry as Jacques, and the
| other characters we'll cast. The IA
yorite farce OF the pheasant Neigh
Dor" will be given as the afterpiece.
The Honeymoon" 10 always IA
vorite piece and another good audience
may be expected, for Miss Dargon's
personation Of Juliana 10 very highly
spoken of. Her engagement termi-
mates with this week.
MISTAKEN FOR A BURGLAR. Our
bashful friend Spykens, about 8 o'clock
last evening went to call on a good
looking young lady friend In response
to invitation. but not being acquainted
with the premises got on the wrong
side of the house. He knocked at all
sorts Of wrong places. and only sue
ceeded In frightening all the women In
the house. They fastened the doors and
windows, thinking he was a burglar,
providing around seeking whom he
might pack of, and an ominous
rattling similar to q shotgun getting
ready In y lower room, warned
poor Spykens to retreat, which
he did in good order, like a sheep
skulking out Of a turnip patch. He
was nervous all night over 1t. Spykens
feels discouraged, and thinks he Is not
a success as q caller.

who left here a few weeks ago and
went over to Auburn to recover his
shattered health, had become almost
we'll aud hearty as ever, and was talk
ing of returning home to his labors, but

A MUSICAL TREAT.-Last evening
we happened to be passing the VIM.
Tell House In Virginia, and were
~agreeably surprised and delighted BY
vocal entertainment which was being
given by an old gentleman, from the
land of Burns, and Sir Walter Scott.
Notwithstanding his advanced years,
his voice possessed q wonderful pathos
and sweetness, and we fingered for
some time near the old minstrel while
he favored his auditors with those de-.
lightful airs "Annie Laurie a
John Anderson my 10 john"
ALL RIanr.-we ara Informed thst
the officers Of the Virginia and rruckee
Railroad on due examination, find the
accounts OF Paymaster Crandall all
straight and correct. II so, they GER
tainiy acted very hastily In arresting
him az an absconding defaulter. IL
seems that he was only taking q little
ride out east yer the Central Pacinc,
and had no sort OF Idea that ne was
running away. We are glad to know
that our young friend was all right.
The MARxkrs.-The markets, both
here and at Virginia, are we'll supplied
with chickens, turkeys, fish, and meats

from the earth ut so much expense OF
time and labor, commands anything
which can tempt tho palate, q our
people are bound to live we'll II they
do nothing more.
