The Big Four Minstrel at thu Opera House
Tonight.

One year ago Morton's Big Four Min
strels took Staunton by storm, and receiv-
ed the hearty endorsement of our amuse-
mentioning people. Tonight they will
see that they have not been forgotten. 1t
is troupe far above the general run of
minstrel troupes, and in point of refine
ment gives a regular parlor entertainment
a character which they reinforce by in
Jecting into their performance some leger-
domain peculiarly fitted to the parlor. =
The San Francisco POST" from which
city they have just come, says:
On Monday evening the largest audience
ever gathered within the portals of the
Bush ST. Theatre, greeted the advent of
the Rig Minstrels. Since their coming
standing room has commanded premium,
an era of prosperity seems to have dawned
upon the Manager Locke's enterprs g. In
the first part, as singers. the company is a
strong one In the olio, individually, the
actors are strong. TIE programme is very
long and varied, and affrds an evening
of genuine and side. splitting fun.

Hogs Made Into Virginia Bacon.

Monday, a fine lot of hogs and sheep ar
rived here via. the Chesapeake 6 Ohio
road. consigned to Messrs. Gait & Ker,
who have been for some time carrying on
quite an extensive business in Staunton il
the pork packing, bacon curing and fresh
meat business.
Mr.. Reeves Gait. for several years one
of our most popular butchers. having as
ISOLATED in business with him. Mr.. Samu-
FL x. Kerr, determined this winter to try
the Kentucky market. Mr.. Gait took two
trips to that State and bought the best
corn fed hogs that could be had in that
great pork market, carefully avoiding the
''still stopped" pork. and shipped home
from four to five cargoes. The greater bulk
(some $50 600 pouuds) of this foe meat,
they have made bacon of. and have dry
sailed and packed away in their store on
Augusta street large quantity besides.
Their slaughter pens are about a mile
from town, beyond the D. D. Il Is. Insti-
tuition. where they have a brick building
in which they have cured and stored their
bacon. Their bacon is very fine, as all
Who have tried it Can testify, and canning
up as it does to the high standard of coun-
try cured Virginia bacon. will supply our
market this summer with what is gener-
ally so hard to procure as the season ad-
vances.
These gentlemen have also packed in
nice wooden pals. holding from % to Is
pounds each, some 12.0OO pounds of lard,
which is even nicer than the country lard.
as 1t is all clarified, the settings having
been drawn off.
The encouragement given 70 this enter
prise promises to make it profitable. and
it is hoped that it will be success. as be-
sides furnishing the best OF bacon and
lard at low figures right at our door, prof.
table employ ment is given to number of
our people and large amount of capita
which would otherwise go west, is kept
and spent among Us.
