One thing we DO not do-copy from a
Cincinnati paper short biography Of Gen.
Persifer F. Smith, and insert it as Editorial
| which the 0azatte does. We dou't men,
ton it for the purpose Of deterring our
neighbors froLl doing so again, for it was
much better than they could have got up
themselves. 1t woald not injure their pa

GRAND OPENING OF THE LIE CLAIRE
HOUSE. Mr.. Eichelberger the proprietor
of this we'll known and popular house, hav-
ing nearly completed the work of retitting
and relurnshng, has, we we are happy 10
state, complied with the request of numer-
Gus Influential citizens to give formal open
ing Of his house on Monday evening next.
On Monday evening, then, at proper hour
the entire house will be brilliantly ilumi-
mated, and thrown open for the inspection
Of guests; and not only this, but in con-
nection Herewith costly and splendid sup
per will be served up, which will comprise
every delicacy that money will purchase,
or skiiul corps of cooks invent 1t is de
terrnlned on this occasion to give our cti-
zens such a treat in the way of accom-
pilshed management and good cheer, as is
not often enjoyed. As to the precise hour
at which this entertainment is to take place
we shall inform the public in due season.
In order to meet, in every particulars, the
demands of the public, and furnish to his
patrons first class house and first class ac-
commodations. neither Mr.. lie Clair or
Nr. Eichelberger have spared any ex.
pense in repairs and addition; they have
caused every room to be thoroughly cleans
ed. repainted and papered; new and ele-
giant carpets put down; the furniture to be
cleansed. newly painted and vanished -
and to make the work complete, the bed
ing has all been taken in pieces and thor
oughly cleansed; many rooms have been
newly furnished, and in fact no particular
item which could be improved with money
or labor has been omtted-everything is
in the most excellent order aud taste.
The office has also been extensively re-
paired; the washrooms remoddlcd furnished
with marble washing apparatus; the din
ing room has undergone an entire change,
and furnished in the most expensive and
elaborate manner; the cooking department
has been newly fitted up and will compare
with the best; the out houses have been
built anew with all the modern improve
ments: the sewerage arrangements connect
ed and completed the outside painted and
repaired, and in fact the entire arrange. |
ments of the old LIE Claire House have been |
so much varied and improved, that one |
would scarcely imagine that the lie Claire |
lleuse of today is the same established
that stood there u few months since. To |
do all this work, and much more which we
have not mentioned has consumed over
900, and never was money invested more
ldvantageously. In this behalf great cred
It is due Mr.. Eichelberger, and Mr.. lie
Claire, and We trust the public will not
show itself ungrateful in sustaining and per
oetuating the goodname of this house -
Le. our citizens make up their minds, for a
grand opening on Monday evening, and all
nay rest assured that the entertainment
will be such as will not only meet their ap-
'roval, but will reflect honor upon onr
beautiful city.
