The PEORIA RAILRoAD.--Dr. VIM. Il.
Hamilton, president of the new Peoria rail-
road company, Mr.. s. B. Curtis, the engin-
Ger, NJ. B. Lloyd, of Orion, Henry county,
one of the directors, and VIM, Nc Candlsss, a
wealthy farmer, of Orion, interested in secur-
ing the construction Of the road, arrived at
the Rodman House, in this city, Thursday
evening, on business of the road, and will
leave to morrow Saturday, morning. They
report favorable progress in the surveys and
hope to be able to place the whole road IN
der contract, in the spring. The nine direct
ors of the road are located as follows: five
in Peoria county, three in Henry, and one
in Davenport. These gentlemen with the
exception of Mr.. McCandless) not being con-
slant readers of the ARGUS, and trusting to
the false statements of other people, seemed
to be under the impression that we were OPP
posed to the building of this road. In this
they have been deceived. But we are unal-
terably opposed to township or county or city
subscriptions in this or any other road, as
wrong in principle. Nor do we think it evil
dence Of sincerity, on the part of those who
argue that the stock in this road will be good
paying stock, that they will not subscribe
their own money, but are constantly begging
people to go to the ballot box and vote 9TH
err peoples money in aid of the enterprise.
Walk up, gentlemen, and subscribe your
own MONEY If YOU think the stock will paw,
and want the road built.

OPENING OF THE BURTIs OPERA HOUSE
1t was our good fortune, last evening, to
attend the opening ceremonies of the Burtis
Opera House, Davenport. Long before the
hour of seven, the youth, beauty, wealth,
and intelligence of that city commenced
gathering, and before eight, had filled boxes,
dress circle and parquette with perhaps the
most brilliant audience that ever assembled
in Iowa. After a grand overture by an or
chestra under the leadership Of Mr. Stras
ser, the dedicatory address was read by
Judge Bennett, and was well received. DR..
Burtis being then loudly called for, after re-
peated demonstrations, made his appearance,
to be greeted with thunders of applause.
His remarks were few, but aptiy made, and
admitting that although he could build an
Opera House, he couldn't make speech, he
retired amid continued plaudits. The mu-
steal entertainment was of fine order.
| Mrs. Altman presided at the piano with her
| usual grace. Mrs. Johanna Claussen Jer-
| Wis, wife of the editor of the True Radical,
sang dainty Swiss ballad with her peculiar
sweetness, and also Muellev's "bird song,
both of which commanded the heartiest ap-
plause Miss Belle Hart sang well, but heI
voice is evidently too weak for so spacious
an auditorium. Miss Maggie Rowse was
twice encored, and proved quite favorite.
| The closing chorus, Ito horse-to horse,
ssfrom Eraoni, was one of the finest Gestures
of the evening. The song by the German
Turner Society was received by the most
/ demonstrative appreciation. The chorus
| given by these round, full, strong male
| voices filled the wide hall with q rich melody
which no one failed to cordially appreciate.
/ Mr.. ]. C. Wallace acted as musical con
| ductor, and evidently to the entire satisfac
ton of every one directly interested. Iaker
as whole, the entertainment was Superior
to any of the kind ever given in that city
The audience was variously estimated from
one thousand to fifteen hundred.
To give anything like a detailed descrip
ton of the building, would require NOR
space than we are at liberty to devote to thu

THE Gas is horrid. Let US have purer
article.
By the by-there is great complaint
about the very miserable light shed by the
street lamps the smallness of the burners
or rather the very little gas turned on; and
the frequency with which some of the
street lamps are left unlighted. These evils
should be remedied or the city council should
stop taking gas.

PREEAPTIoN.-We have received, Just as
our WEEKLY is going to press, a communi.
cation from valued friend, describing
Christmas events in Presumption, but the
late hour it was received renders it impossi-
bic for US to publish it in full, this week, and
next week it will be rather out of date.
The Episcopal Sabbath school, taught by
Mr.. R. c. Blitchfelta young divinity student
from Bishop Lees college, Davenport, who
came from Denmark few years ago, had a
nice festival, presents &C., dc. A lad
named Armstrong is highly complimented
for proficiency in his studies. And the illu-
minated Christmas tree comes in for min
ute and interesting description. The tree
was surmounted by a representation of an an
gel with extended wings-the gift of Mr.. R.
Champion, of this city. After the presents,
came choice lunch for all.
We make the following extract from the
letter of our correspondent:
During the past season some very materi-
al improvements have been made at Pre-
emption, viz: The Methodist people built a
house they call church, without any archi-
tectural appearance of church about it, and
was told it cost $4,000. For that amount
it might have been made an ornament to
the place and county. The Presbyterian
people have built church that is credit
to them, the town and the county. 1t is
built in the gothic style of architecture, with
a belfrey 40 feet high. The friends of the
church pride themselves in not having TO
leave their own neighborhood for any sub
scription to build or furnish their church;
nor will there be a collection taken up at it's
dedication. They expec: to call upon a few
friends from home to buy the bell. This
church. with bell and all complete, will not
cost over $4,000. OF this sum, Mr.. JohnW hit
slit gives $1,000 and two acres of land for
the church yard. He is also fitting up quite
q comfortable parsonage, not far from the
church. When suitable minister Is OBJ
tanned here, it will add greatly to the welfare
of the community. Three stores have been
put up the past season, viz: Messrs. Pitt
mans, fine large building, with hall over
the store, and they seem to be doing large
business; Mr.. Hammond who keeps a drug
and general store; and Messrs. Blakely and
Clay two wounded Union soldiers) who keep
general country store. These churches
and stores, put up this year, show healthy
i'm provement in the place.

REpuBLIcANs who are scolding at heavy
taxes" should remember that the way to
tighten them is to restore the southern
states to their proper condition, so that their
industry may help US in the north. The
present is an uncommonly hard winter for
northern mechanics; but it might have been
a profitable one, if the Jacobins had not de-
stroyea our southern market. But taxes
will be juss as heavy as if the times were
good.
