STRICKEN WITH MADNESS. - John
Hoffman went to war and got shot,
badly too. Since his return, he has at
various times endeavOred to get even
with his fellow men by exploring the
mysteries of the flowing BOWL. The
mysteries are sometimes too much for
John, and he is, as it were, stricken
with temporary madness for his pro-
fame curiosity. At such times he is
guilty of conduct forbidden by the city
ordinances, and of course is liable to
suffer the penalty prescribed.
On Monday last, John was discovered
standing on the curb stone in front OF
n beer saloon in Centre Wheeling. At
the time he was in one of his parox-
ysms. How could he be expected to re-
member that Adam and Eve had
though proper TO introduce fig leaves
for the benefit of their descendants
1t was clearly impossible that such an
idea should fit through his mind. But,
nevertheless, an officer conscious only
appearances, and not aware of the
true state of the case, arrested him, and
joyfully conveyed him to the lookup.
John had never been arrested before;
he bad also been wounded in defense OF
his beloved country. These things had
their influence with stern Justice,
and he was fined one dollar and costs.

CONCERT AND BALL.-At Washing.
ton Hall, New Years night, there was
an elegant concert and ball, given by
the Manuerchor Society
The music was very fine. The cho-
russes were excellently rendered. Miss
c. Weist's soprano solo, Come with
me-" was beautiful, and loudly APP
plauded. The cold Fisherman's Song"
was sung by Mr.. Louis G. StifeI in
good taste and with expression. But
perhaps the most generally pleasing
musical performance of the evening
was the duet, Mrs. Hemans' Ora pro
NO6iS, by Misses NJ. & c. Schust. The
voices OF these young ladies are ex-
Quisitely fresh and sweet, and, as indi-
Gated by their performance in the duet,
exceedingly well trained.
The concert occupied about an hour
and half. After its close the chairs
were removed from the center of the
hall to make room for the dancers, who
were soon whirling round and round
in that most charming of dances, the
round waltz. For the refreshnent of
the dancers, an elegant table was spread
In an ante-room, by Mr.. Charley Behler.
The table was loaded down with all
the delicacies of the season, and did
great credit to Mr.. Behler's abilities as
u caterer.
The festivities were prolonged with
unfiagging energy until "a late hour
yesterday morning.

The ScallawapS.

We call the attention of the northern peo'
ple to the report in our paper this morning OF
the proceedings of the Radical Convention on
Yesterday. They will be able to form very
correct Judgment as to the capacity OF Inc ne
gro as legislator. They will see that one OF
the newly enfranchished seriously offered a
proposition to provide for the support OF the
lazy negro vagabonds who loaf about our
streets out of the public treasury. They will
see that a Convention which has no right even
to entertain such proposition wasted a whole
day in idle discussion of the subject; and will
learn that it is by no means impossible that
the proposition shall be adopted. &C Whom the
gods would destroy they first make mad. -
Let this proposition be adopted, and the white
men who employ negroes may afterwards be
counted upon the ten fingers, for they would
be fools indeed to employ laborers upon condi-
ton that if they discharged them their taxes
should be increased We advise the Radical
whites 10 rene mber that they need constitu-
ency, and the negroes to consult the Interests
Of their own race and vote down this absurd
proposition.
