NEW VARIETY HALL.-The new
theatre in the hotel Of NJ NJ. Fred
ricks, Virginia City. for Orndortf &
McGee's variety troupe. is nearly
completed. The scenes are now
being painted by one OF the COM
pauy, who is scenic artist. The
theatre is we'll arranged, and will
have a seating capacity for five hun
bred persons. The seats are SO
arranged that they may be removed
in the lower part of the house, and
the floor used for dancing, when no
performances are going on. The
stage will be nearly as large as that
OF the late opera house, and So much
attention has been paid to the
science of acoustics that voices can
be heard FROM before the footlights
to the remotest parts Of the house as
plainly as The circumstances of any
play may require. Finc proscenium
boxes are built at the wings of the
strge and line of private boxes is
on either side of the house on the
gallery floor. All tue arrangements
for good theatre have been com
pleted or are in progress for the
stage. Loft rigging, green room,
apparatus in the wings for scene
shifting. etc, etc, will make the
whole arrangements very complete.
Olive Logan. in her book entitled
Before the Footlights aud Behind
the Scenes" deprecates the fact
that the legitimate drama should
be driven from the stage, but says
that the public taste demands some
thing vivacious, and the theatre
people have to heed the public de-
mand. Hence variety performances
have taken the place OF the standard
dramatic pieces, There is no place
on the coast where such variety
plays draw better than in Virginia
City. Messrs. Orndorff and McGee
have realized this, and are deter
mined, evidently, to satisfy the de-
mand of pleasure seekers in t lis
respect. They will certainly have a
good building to perform in.

THE PARKERsBURG ExcURsoNIsrs-
The packet Express was detained At
Parkersburg two hours and twenty min
utes by the, breaking of ono Of the cams
Of her engine. Many citizens of Par.
kersburg who wished 10 attend the Mardi
Gras were disappointed, but as it was
there was large crowd Of excursionists
aboard, and they thoroughly enjoyed
themselves in dancing on the way up the
river, Tommy Cockaynes full band being
aboard. Captain Asa Booth made every
one feel at home by his kindness, and the
other officers Of the steamer did all they
could to insure the comfort Of their
guests. The cannon was in charge OF
Alex. Heatherington, who done his duty
with II. The good steamer maintained
her schedule time TO Moundsyille, and
from that point she gained Eve minutes,
arriving here two hours and ten minutes
late. No blame whatever is attached to
Captain Booth for the detention.

was not in some way connected with
Mardi Gras. The mills and manufac-
tories were not running, there were no
courts in session, the teachers and pupils
OF the public schools enjoyed holiday,
the public buildings, banks and many.
stores were closed. In short, no public
business and but little business OF any
kind was transacted. The people all,
