PHILLIPs HOUSE OPENING.-The formal
opening of the Phillips House, under the
auspices. of Mr.. J.. lieibold, the present
gentemanly proprietor, viii take place on
Wednesday evening next, January I'd. The
committee of invitation is composed Of
number of our most prominent citizens,
and the proposed festival will no doubt be
most pleasant and attractive affair. Dur
ing Mr.. Reibolds connection with the Phil !
lips House, he has entirely renovated and
reflrnished it, and it now ranks among the |
first-class hotels of the West. The antici- |
pated complimentary ovation, on the part
of his numerous friends In this city, is well
deserved, and we have no doubt it viii be |
in all respects worthy of the occasion.
CB-A large number of splendid prizes
will be drawn for Tonight, at the Fair at
Clegg's Hall.
STILL GIVEN TO LYING-Now that the
election is passed, we had hoped the Jour
nal would forego its popularity for false
hood and Misrepresentation but in this
we are disappointed. This morning it says, |
in one place. that the Democratic meeting
on Saturday, to appoint delegates to the
Eighth of January Convention, was held
'fn the Democratic Insurance Office"
That's lie MOL.
In another place IL says that the meeting
was held sin the office of the Ohio lnsur-
ance Company" That's lie No2.
The meeting was held and the delegates
appointed at the Democratic Headquarters,
corner of jefferson and Market streets.
Perhaps however, the journal only
meant to advertise, gratuitously, the afore-
said Insurance Company, If so, we have
no doubt that excellent and reliable insti-
tuition will be duly grateful.
The OPERA HoUsE,-From the large
number of tickets already secured for the
Bateman Concert at the Opera House, this
evening, it is evident that our people are
disposed 10 rightly appreciate the grand
and beautiful in the musical art. We have
already referred to the transcepdant merit
Of Parepa as an Grtiste, and she viii be sus-
tanned by an array of the best talent that
has ever appeared before Dayton audi
ence. Our citizens have in prospect mu-
steal festival of rare excellence and thatit
will be generously sustained on their part,

ient troupe in that city, has the following
highly complimentary notice:
