Some years since we were a student in med- icine in a neighboring State, and, with a num- ber of assoviates and bighly respected class- m were attending a course of private lee- tures under the direction and instruction of sentlemen of extensive experience and of un- surpassed scientific artainments and skill.

Searcely a day passes but complaint is made before some alderman by the victims of this pernicious system, but rarely, if ever, docs a conviction of the offend- ers iollow. On Saturday last a young man, respected by numerous frieuds, and until re- eently employed as a confidential and finan- cial clerk of a house in Market street, was ar- raigned before Alderman Ogle on the charge of using some $2.000 cf his employers money, which the offender confessed was used for the purchase of lottery tickets. To obtain this mouey, false entries and even forgery was ne- cossary, and when the unfortunate young man discovered that an exyosure wouid soon fol low, he took his flight to a neighboring city, but an officer tracked him and brought him buck. While before the alderman he made an affidavit, stating that the money had been spent in the purchase of lottery tickets, and gave the name of the person from whom he had purchased. A warraut was issued fer hi apprehension, with the hope that the money way be regained and the unlawful dealex brought to justice. The young man was held in $4,000 to answer.— Phila.

Remark: Yet the clergy of the United States, a few-years since, violently diecussed this topic, while weither they nor society denounce the mar- riage of eousins, which deteriorates. the race physically and morally.

The porter, whose duty it was to atte dand answer, and repor: all bus’ sess immediately announced 2 mas in wait- » and that he had a dead body in the wa- gon ander the shed, and if the Professor or the students wished one fresh from the grave and put recently deceased, he would dispose of it ut a fair compensation. A bargain was at “Eny dollars, was paid; and the body deposited on the ta- ble. The lecture, of course, was interry; pted, but as soon as this matter was disposed of, the lecturer proceeded. At the close of the lec- ‘ure. it was proposed and decided to dissect the body. | It was disrobed of grave clothes, ani lo and behold ! the body of a young lady, even in death, of unsurpassing beauty; and it seemed, on first view, more in a state of calm ‘al placid sleep than of death, and involun- wll were still and hush as the grave from which the body had been taken, lest she should be awrkened from pleasant dreams.

This, however, is a very difficult and expensive pro- cess, but is usually oagS pee by walling up all the air currents, and heading off (with clay) the progress of the fire, and then injeot- ing the mine with steam.
