New Opera House.

The HERALD is glad to note that move is
on foot to build new Opers-house at q cost
of $4,000. Dallas certainly needs one about
as badly as she needs anything. The city is
now assuming metropolitan proportions, has
the ways of a city and should have all the
attractions and conveniences characteristic OF
cities. Foremost among these is at least one
tirst-class theatre. The best dramatic talent the
country affords now includes Dallas in its
route each season, and the city should have n
building meet for its appearance. Next
season our city will scarcely, if at all, miss
having companies one or more nights each
week, and our own citizens and the strangers
in our midst who may desire to enjoy such
amusements should be provided with COM
Portable, capacious Opera-house for the pur-
pose. We heartily commend the unuer-
taking, and trust that it may be theoretically
pushed and meet with that encouragement,
and aid from all sources that it merits.

Sunday afternoon two bales OF cotton on

Al the Theatre.

Probably one of the most enjoyable pieces
on the boards this season was that of III. M.
5. Pinafore" last night. And this company
ofjuveniles, some torty.onein number, fairly
captured the house. Surprised and delighted
at the completeness Of the rendition from
first to last, the audience was naturally
enough enthusiastic. Every character was
as well brought out and as admirably sus-
tanned as it is possible for adopts in the
roles to give. Little Jennie Dunn
as Josephine" with her rich
sweet contralto (Which at one time distinctly
touched C0; and her easy and self-possessed
manner was truly refreshing and charming.
With n volume and wealth Of voice. which
promises brilliant things for her future, and
great accuracy Of intonation, 1t was no Won
der that the house rang with applause at her
earnest efforts. Little Eva French, as Butter.
cup" was fully up to any Buttercup yet
presented; and Daisy Murdoch, with tie
handsome face and coquetsh airs and
snobbishly aristocratic style, furnished an
excellent Improvisation of the proud and
lofty damsel of distinguished connection.
Selma Rough, representing Ralph Rackstraw,
though laboring under evident physical disa-
bilties, if not pain, was very happy in her
rendition of the fine looking and
well-demeaned sailor, and at times
her sweet soprano voice was exquisitely deli
cate. Frances Bishop, as Sir Joseph"
made very handsome Admiral, and also
met with general favor. AS for "Dick Dead
eye" the brother of Jennie Dunn, we hardly
know what to say. He was all over the char
acter the author had in view, perhaps, how
ever, little overdone and excessive. His
dancing was capital and drew storms of APP
plause. His rich baritone was subject of
universal comment
Altogether the performance was success,
whether we have regard to the east OF char
aeters, the separate Characterization, the
chorusses the marches, or other features of
the piece. The general verdict seemed to be
that it was one of the best offerings of the
season, and considering the youth of the per-
formers, the majority of whom are notover
eleven years Of age, the performance was
truly remarkable.
Performance again tonight and matinee
on Wednesday.

PHENOMENA WEATHER.
A Sudden Change, Followed by Sim
guiar Storm Of Rain, sieet, Hail
ana Snow, Accompanied by
Thunder and Lightning,

Sunday morning between twelve and day
break there occurred the most remarkable
change In the weather known in this section
for years, the mercury In thermometers,
where they were placed TO test the weather
fairly, falling from $50 TO 229 within that
brief space Of time. ley winds were
blowing from the north, and the ground
was frozen hard, while there was ice on stand.
ing water about nm inch thick, The day was
disagreeably cold, but towards night the
weather moderated somewhat, though II was
still freezing.
AT one O'clock Sunday night one of the
most singular storms over witnessed In this
section began raging being combination of
rain, sleet, hail and snow,
accompanied by deafening thunder
and vivid flashes Of lightning. II was indeed
n strange storm for this section, First, II
began TO rain, which fairly poured down for
n few minutes, when IL turned into sleet and
then into hail, which was followed by q snow
fall, covering the earth TOT depth OF some
four inches, which was covered with u hard
crust, which would bear the weight Of man.
After the rain and slect the wind, which
was blowing from the north, shifted to the
northeast, when the heavens were suddcnly
illumined with what appeared to be phos-
phorescene. SO bright was the light that
some who saw II say they couly have read a
newspaper. II lasted several minutes, when
ii disappeared as rapidly as 1t had come.
There ia no doubt but that the fruit crop is
greatly injured, If not ruined. Those en-
gagged in It's culture differ in their opinions AS
to the amount of damage done. The early
buds that had bloomed out are killed, beyond
question, most of these being peach trees,
but few of which had bloomed. Those
trees that had bloomed are situated for the
most part in sandy soil, which bloom much
earlier than those planted in the black soil.
Captain Ross, who is acknowledged TO be
good authority in such matters, gives 1t ms
his opinion that the fruit crop, and espec-
tally the peach crop, is in q very
critical condition. and he fears
that but few if any peaches will be raised.
The pears, apples plums and other fruit trees
are not so badly injured. In the centre of
some of the different kind Of buds he exam
med he found ice.
The early gardens, in which corn and
potatoes and other vegetables had
come up, and which few
lays ago presented such thrifty
,ppearan c, were ruined, everything being
destroyed. Such vegetables ms beets, turnips,
'adishes, cabbages, etc, were killed by the
lard freeze. The field corn, planted early,
ome of which had come up, is all killed, and
armers will have to replant. The
wheat and oats crop are not hurt, thcug b the
armers fear that they will not be benefited,
md say that hard and continued FIRE re
would seriously injnre them,
The snow fall was general over this entire
eciion, though not so great at Denison as
ere, measuring two inches at that point.
A hard rain fell at Marshall yesterday at
l 4. NJ, completely soaking the ground.
