Of applause. Miss Adams made an sx-

Chaplin hardly had scope enough, as
Jack Poyntz. to display his peculiar tai.
ents as an actor /; but. nevertheless, he
admirably portrayed the character OF the
rollicking lover TO the satisfaction Of the
house. Mr.. Sawtells's Lord Arthur
Beaufoy might have been improved
upon. as IL was evident he hastily pre-
pared himself. Mr.. Billings makeup
and acting as DIR. Sutcliife was excellent.
aud shows that he is admirably adapted
for old mems parts. Mr.. Lindsay's
Beau Farintosh was rs good rs any we
have ever seen. with the exception Of
the fifth act, where he Is supposedt to drop
the Beau " and appear the man. This
he failed to do-rctaining afew OF his
"ah's" and thereby destroying the
effect Of his previous good acting. Mr..
Crosbie a. Mr.. Kruex, the ambitious tu-
tor, made a fine success Of his part. and
was frequently ~applauded. Tonight,
Boucicault and Reade's joint romano OF
"Foul Play +" will be presented for the
first tins in Virginia, and, considering
the immense houses which the drama

drawn. the house should be Allied. Mr..

A CELESTIAL RoMEo.-Last evening.
Judge Young. Of Virginia, united in the
holy bonds Of mstrimony All Poy and
Mademoiselle Kim Tye, Of the Empire
Of China, and thereby hangs a tale. II
appears that All Poy, who belongs to
the Hop Sing Company, became enam-
ored OF the fair Kim Tye. who was
brought I o this odorous land Of sage
brush by the See Yup Company on a
speculation. All Poy, unwilling that
others should bask in the sunshine Of
his true loves smiles. determined TO Sc
cure her for himself at all hazards, and
resolved upon an abduction. This part
OF the programme was successfully &c
complished; but the Sec Yup outfit
missing the girl. instituted a search at
once, and called upon Officer Jackson
TO assist, offering him 5000 a. q reward
II he could find the girl. Now two hun
bred dollars don't come Toms way every
day in the week. and he done some tall
rustling in n few hours. He imagined,
Justly, that the man had taken the $50
train for Carson or Reno, and so tel
egraphed to those points to have the
Ascending couple retuped. 1t was no
use. for cunning All Poy had not left
Virginia. and when the shades Of night
began 20 lower. he hied himself with his
fair Juliet. TO Justice Young and was by
him made secure against the company
by joining the two loving hearts "Al
same Mclean man"
FALSE RuNoR.-About eight days ago
a little child belonging to William Cook,
who lives in Crown Point Rayine, was
reported to have contracted the conts-
gious disease Of smallpox, and IL was
afterward rumOred on the streets that
his whole family, consisting OF three 9TH
er children. were also laid up with the
same form Of sickness. This proves TO
be untrue, for this morning Mr.. Cook
brought his tribe OF little ones to the
NEWS office. and we are happy to say
that they are As healthy n family rs we
have ever looked at. The little girl who
did take sick wa only troubled with an
attack Of scarlet rash. and she also was
along with the rsst, carrying her doll,
and as healthy looking as the balance.
We hope that this itsm will calm the
fears Of Mr. Cooks friends, and that
they will have no hesitancy in calling ON
him II so disposed.
Ar TIE BowERs MASsioS.-Every n
acquainted with the kind old lady, Mrs.
Bowers, will sympathizc with her in
her misiortunes. Since the death OF
her only remaining child, Persia, she
has been almost crazed with excessive
grief, and some consider that il will take
many months II not years to efiace from
her memory the sad scenes through
which 1t has been her lot TO pass. Her
! husband lies buried on the hillside In
the rear Of the house to the north, Per-
sia next, and her youngest child next to
her. The situation Of the graves is sug-
eestive Of that rest and peace beyond
the grave which 1t is impossible to OBJ
tain here. We learn that 1t Is Mrs.
Bowers intention TO lease the Mansion
for a term OF five years, and to leave
washoe Valley for a time at least.
PIurk PoKEn.-It Is no unusual thing
to see a number Of braves OF the Pluto
tribe, seated in a circle in some shady
place around town. deeply engaged in
the mysteries OF Pluto Poker; but to-
DAY, in the lower portion OF town. we
saw q brace Of old squsws and n couple
OF Young braves seated on tho ground.
each with u pile OF four-bit pieces before
him or her, and playing poker for all
that was out" II anything. the squaws
hal tho best Of it, and they came up
with th.ir dHles with the oquanimity OF
old sports and raked down the pot with
out as much rs moving . muscle at the
satisfaction II afforded them TO beat the
young braves.
