THE OPERA HOUSE AT DANvILLE.-We were
shown through this splendid structure few
days ago by Mr.. G. 8. wetzei, the architect,
which is now about being completed. This en-
terprise originated with Mr.. Jacob Snyder, who
agement and hard labor, has succeeded in
building house which, long in the future, will
be regarded with pride by the citizens of our sis
ter town of Danyille. The interior of the build
ing is well arranged and divided off into store
rooms, offices, lodge rooms and an opera room.
The audiance room Of the opera house is on the
second floor, and is admirably well arranged for
the purpose. The stage and scenery have been
largely improved upon, while the audience room
has been ntted up with the latest improved cush-
ioned chairs, elevated and arranged so as to
have full view of the stage froHs every part OF
the room. The gallery, likewise, contains cush-
ioned chairs arranged similarly to those In the
parquet, while the painting and gliding is cor
respondingly neat, and when lighted is not ex-
celled in brilliancy by any house of entertain
ment in the country. 1t is calculated to seat
1900 persons comfortably. Great precaution
was also taken by the architect for the protec-
ilon of an audience in case of fire, by means of
doors which thrown open in different parts
of the building. In passing through this part
of the building we also noticed that ample pro-
vision had been made for dressing rooms, clo-
sets, &c. The scenery is all new, and got
ten up in magnificent STYLE This opera
room Is now about being finished with a
view to grand opening on Tuesday evening,
the 23d inst, when 1t is designed by the citizens
of that place to give complimentary benefit to
Mr.. Snyder as an evidence of their appreciation
Of his enterprise. Caroline Richings' Bernard
Troupe, of Philadelphia, have already been en-
gagged to give one of their brilliant entertain
ments on the occasion. An invitation is extend
ed to all neighboring towns to participate in the
grand opening. A large number of tickets have
already been disposed of. We hope TO see many
from this place attend this grand entertainment
given by our neighbors, and that some one may
conceive the idea of initiating Mr.. Snyder in the
erection of similar building in this place, where
1t is SO much needed.

An OIL Story.


Sem D, who owned snug little
fasm, was somewhat startled one fine day
by an offer Of more than twice the worth
Of it in greenbacks.
"shalI you sell it, Snmuel?' asked his
wife.
Certainty I,shsll," said Sam, eff the
excited individuals don't back out, or
prove to be a couple of escaped lunatics,
as I have supposed them to be-" and sell
be did.
After the bargain was made and the
money paid, one Of the men took Sam and
bis wife where there was small excava-
tion in the ground Sled up by the re-
cent rain.
"Soe what you've lost and what we've
gained" said the excited individual,
scooping up some Of the water 10 an old
tin cup aud holding it up for their in'peo'
ton.
Sure enough the oil was balf an inch
thick on the top Of the water
Sam was indignant. Ifhe hadn't been
fool, as he said to bis wife, and just
watched for Indications, be might died q
millionaire.
Sans wife was bursting with laughter,
butvsfrsiuipg herself, sbp coaxed her bus.
band into the house and told him the
whole story
"You remember when | had that cough
last winter, and the doctor recommended
cod liver oil, San, aud you brought home
whole gallon because you got it cheap
aud made me promise to take dose three
times q day. Well, | didn't and it stood
in the closet till cleaned the house last
week, when | threw it all into the hole at
The foot Of the garden"
Sam saw the joke and pOCketed the
cream Of it ip the shape Off pile ofgreen-
backs.
Atlast accounts Sam was living in OlO-
vcr while the oil hunters we're Industrious
ly boriug-apd may bo until this time for
all we know.
