The CONCERT To-NIGHT.-To-night we
are to hear the great Kellogg and the COM
pany of excellent artists associated with
her. That the audience will be very large
and most fashionable, no one who has seen
the box sheet can for a moment doubt
The Cleveland Herald, speaking of the late
concert in that city, says:
The reception of Miss Kellogg last even
ing was nothing short of an ovation, that
was no less f1attering to the lady than to
the good taste of the public. 1t was
warm and heartfelt welcome to brilliant
and beautiful child of song. Although
stranger to most in the audience, her fame
had preceded her. Her triumphs in the
lands of music across the ocean were known
to all Americans. Her personal appear
ance is extremely progressing. Her fea-
lures are regular, her manner irresistible,
and in all there is a modest womanly bear
ing that is charming. She did not appear
last evening until after duet from
"Martha," by Signor Lotti and Signor
Petrelli, and a violin solo by Herr
Kopta. Although both these portions of
the programme of the evening were well
rendered and enthusiastically received,
there was nervous anxiety manifested
for the appearance of the 'sbright particu-
lar star" Her first performance was the
"Polacca" from the opera of "Puritani,"
which gave her fine opportunity of dis
playing all the leading qualities of her
voice. Her execution was faultlessly cor
rect, and every tone was clear, liquid and
melodious. There was no apparent effort
in the most difficult portions of the vocal
izatiou. She seemed to sing as the birds
sing, because she could not prevent the
sounds from coming forth in all their purity
and liquid sweetness. She was enthusias-
tically encored and responded.

MEDICAL
MANHOOD.

IN THE YOUNG AND RISING
generation, the vegetative powers of
life are strong, but in few years how
often the pallid hue, the lack. lustre eye,
and emaciated form, and the impossi-
bility of application to mental effort,
show its baneful influence. 1t soon be.
comes evident to the observer that some
depressing influence is checking the de-
velopment of the body. Consumption
is talked of, and perhaps the youth is
removed from school and sent into the
country. This is one of the worst move
ments. Removed from ordinary di-
versions of the ever-changing scenes Of
the city, the powers of the body too
much enfeebled to give zest to healthtul
and rural exercise, thoughts are turned
inwards upon themselves.
If the patient be female, the ap-
proach of the menses is looked for~ith
anxiety, as the first symptom in which
Nature is to show her saving power in
diffusing the circulation and visiting
the cheek with the bloom of health
Alas increase of appetite has grown
by what it fed on; the energies of the
system are prostrated, and the whole
economy is deranged. The beautiful
and wonderful period in which body
and mind undergo so fascinating a
change from child to woman, is looked
for in vain; the parents heart bleeds
in anxiety, and fancies the grave but
waiting for its victim.

the marked improvement he experienced afterward

PETTY THIEvING.-A fellow named
Keifer Gerheart, who was formerly the
chief engineer of High street snake
show, was arrested on Thursday night for
stealing paddock from T.. Hopper's Gel
lar door. Mr.. Hopper has for long time
suspected Gelheart of picking up little
things, and this time set watch on him,
resulting in his capture as above stated.
The Mayor asked Gerheart Why he com
mitted this little theft. He replied that he
was driven to it by hunger. "Why," said
Hopper, haven't always given you to eat,
when you asked for it?" sYes," was the
answer, shut didn't like to ride free
horse to death, so L stole the lock-" The
Mayor thought the joke of stealing from a
man because he gave freely when asked,
was SO good, he fined Gerheart S5 and
costs, and in default sent him to the stone
pile.

Who can say that these excesses are
not frequently followed by those dire

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.--The residence
of Mr.. Pope, on Front street, was visited
by burglars on Thursday night, but they
were frightened off before making raise.
They attempted to gain an entrance by the
front door, but bolt on it defied their ef-
forts. They then tried the rear door. As
this was secured with a lock only it did not
take them long to force it, and they got in.
The noise they made awakened Mr.. Pope
and he came down stairs just as the burr
glars got into the kitchen, but the noise he
made in opening a middle door frightened
them off. This is the second time Mr.. Pope
has had the honor of this sort of company
Nothing like bolts and pistols. ., -..

men were arrested by Officer Naddy about

they were locked up in one of the wooden
ones. Before midnight they wrenched an
iron stanchion from under the bench in the
cell. with 1t pried off the cell door, and
broke open the back door, making their
escape over the fence. There is but little
doubt but that these are two of the band of
burglars now infesting our town.
