SUNDAY EVENING ENTERTAINMENT AT PIPER'S OPERA HOUSE.—The Virginians are agitated over a sensation in the form of their new departure man whom the Eureka Sentinel calls the "Sagebrush Beecher." The qualification seems quite apropos. The behavior of this eccentric minister troubles only the orthodox; it excites the ungodly to fun. The latter relish a liberal sermon next after a liberal show a la Black Crook. Before the reverend gentleman's late divergence from the fold he was politic enough to provide himself with power of attorney to marry people under both the religious and civil laws. We are glad that he retains the marrying power, for he performs the ceremony delightfully. and it may so chance again that he will be called upon to make one of some other twain in Carson. The Chronicle says of his talk at the Opera House to-night: " The initiatory services of the Liberal religious society. recently organized here. will be held to-morrow (Sunday) evening at 8 o'clock, at Piper's Opera House. On this occasion Rev. Mr. McGrath will give his reasons for abandoning the orthodox belief, and will also give reasons for the faith which is in him. Seats are free, and a full house may be expected."
