Ruby nm Opera House.

ROXY HILL, October 90. 1879.
Enron SENTINEL; Sir. - Under the
above heading please publish the following
lines:
Some ten months ago the Miners Union
Hall was reftted into an Opera House. and
tina. at a large expense. Theatrical troupes
visised the Hill weekly, and sometimes
%oftener. and every performance was well
~patronized and always proved q financial
success. AT length troupcs ceased to visit
the Hill. and the trustees of the Hall dis.
covered that our Opera House had been
misrepresented by some Eureka people as
being inferior and without accommoda-
tons.
We, therefore, beg leave to inform the
public, and particularly theatrical troupes,
which may visit Eureka the coming winter,
that the Ruby Hill Opera House is in first
class order, the Union having lately pur-
chased six dozen chairs which makes the
seating capacity of the Hall sufficient to
accommodate nearly 800 persons, 80 OF
which are reserved seats.
Persons wishing 10 engage the Hall for
theatricals or other entertainments, will
please call ON J. W. Lambert, at the Post
Office Ruby Hill, who is our authorized
agent, and who is also ready aud always
willing to give all the necessary informa-
ton concerning the property.

The London Mining Journal says that a
considerable rise in the price Of this metal
Is considered to be imminent, and mines
having parcels OF ore for sale are advised
to hold them over for a week or so. Large
orders have come in from abroad, and
stocks in hand with the shelters are I'M
doubtedly low, so that, however reluctant
they may be to do so, buyers will be com
PEELED ere long TO concede a substantial adj
vance. English pig is likely to see fl6 per
ton before the month is out. and a much
greater rise may be expected in the spring,
when bnilding operations commence. II not
earlier. In anticipation Of this an advance
In the shares of productive mines has al
ready taken place.

past three years.
ONTARIO advices from Port ColboIne
Of May 2Sth states that on the night of
the 9th as M. A. Cleveland, contractor
on the Welland canal, was on his way
home, he was stopped by two men and
knocked down, and beat terribly about
the head with car coupiingpin, and
then robbed of gold watch and chain.
The watch has his name carved on the
inside. He luckily had no money
about him at the time. The robbers
have escaped so far.
AN Omaha special of May 9th says

date of May 9th state that
the Underwood wal has again
broken out on the upper Tygarts
creek, in Carter county. Elna
Underwood, while peacefully at work
in his corn field, near his home, was
shot from ambush, Thursday, and when
his children fastened to him they
found him in a dying condition. His
chest was perforated by two balls. Geo.
Underwood, Elna's father, was also
killed in similar manner, and Kesse
entered the field as the ayenger of her
family's wrong. 1t is feared there will
be a fearful amount of bloodshed, and
farmers up in that nelghborhood: afraid
of becoming the victims Of some assas-
sins ball are forsaking their fields.

DIFFICULTIES of a singular character
are experienced in Sumatra in working
the telegraph lines. From 1874 to 1877
sixty cases occurred in which commu-
nications were interrupted by elephants.
An official report states that on the 25th
of May, 1875, the Manara..Dura Lahat
line was completely destroyed over a
length of three miles, and the wires
and posts partly dragged into the jun
giles. The repairs effected during the
day are demolished at night. More
over, extreme difficultd is experienced
in dealing with the lines on account of
the tigers, the bears, wild buffaloes
(bison) etc., SO numerous in that coun-
try. There are, besides, monkeys,
large and small, which make use of the
wires to execute their gymnastic exer-
cises on and frequently break them as
we'll as the poles.
