Advancing with muffled step behind | the unsuspecting vietim, one of these terrible “night doctors” shoulder ot the colored man or woman, and dex- terously claps the adhesive plaster over his or her mouih, Doracr to prevent anyoutery, while | Lis contederaie quickly ties the arms with a cord, , with which he» prepared. Unable to give an | alarm or make anything like successful resist- ance, the poor vietim is placed in a covered car- riage in waiting near by, and carried to the dis- secting room, where he or she is chloroformed into inrensibility, and then BLED TO DEATH by the heartless students. The dissection of the body then follows. after which the fatty parts of the Ledy are “tryed” in caldrons, for the pur- pose of obtaining the oil, which, according to popular belief among the colored people, atter- apyearsat the drug stores in the form of cil So firmly are many of the colo pecple impressed with this belief that they v ture on ‘he streets after nighfall with fear and trembling, and take to th they t only supplying the dissecting rooms with subjects, but are furnishing oil,” manufactured from col | tothe large cities throughout th few night since. an aged colored wom: toone of the police stations to inquire after h grandron, Accorcing to popular report | “ reaches his hand over the | }' A VAT BOY 9 years of age. She remained at the station for several hours bewailiag the supposed fate of Toney,” whom she was certain was a victim of “the nasty night doctors,” and was probably at that moment being boiled down to oi). The offi- cers tried in vain to comfort her and it was only on the appearance of the little tellow at the station that she was pacified. Night before last, between 11 and 12 o'clock A “SOLITARY HORSEMAN” was seen on the Island by some colored people, with a body thrown across the horse in front of him, and some colored persons who saw bim imagined, from the limberness of the corpse, that it was some poor feliow, with his mouth effectually sealed with a sticking plaster, on his of the Legislative Assembly, and an | reports | oys- | way to the dissecting room, there to be hacked into mince meat, or to be boxed for export to ; *eme other city. Those who saw him were | afraid to tackle the man, bat notitied the police. | There being no law against body snatching in | force, and no way to reach the offender, no ac- | then could be taken. Those who indulge this singular superstition relative to “emight doctors," imagine that young and obese subjects are preferred on account of the oil which they yield, and that HUNP-RACKS are also ‘ially desirable, on account of their | peculiar physical conformation, which renders their dissection of particular interest to medical students. Indeed, it is reported that as high as $150 each for first-class hump-backed subjects is offered by the “night doctors.” We know not how this strange hallucination originated, but imagine it must have come down by tradition trom “the good old times” before the war. Howarp University axp THe Civ. Ricnts Bitt—A meeting of the officers and students of Howard University was held on Saturday last, for the pene of taking action in favor of Senator Sumner’s supplementary civil rights bill. ‘The attendance was large, and great interest in the object of the meeting was exhibited. A permanent organization was ef- | fected by the election of Mr. G. W. Enithell | president, together with a number of vice presi- dents, Gen. 6 . Howard heading the list of the latter. Earnest addresses in favor of the bill | were made by Gen. Howard, Gen. E. W! sey, and Prof. J. M. Lan, m, after committee on address and resolutions reported. In their address the committee heartily endorse Senator Sumner’s bill, and earnestly urge its ssage by the Senate and House of Kepresent- | atives. A committee, of which Hon. F. L. Car- dozo was chairman, was then appointed to pre- | Sent the address to Senator Sumner, and the | meeting adjourned. At 1 o'clock p. m. the | committee waited upon Mr. Sumner, to whom they read the address and resolutions adopted | by the meeting. Mr. Sumner replied, express- | ing his warmest sympathy with the objects of | the meeting, and assuring the committee that | he should spare no efforts to secure the passage of his bill. The committee then withdrew, } —e gratified with the result of the inter- view. —— ALLEGED FoxcERy.—Lieut.

His counsel petitioned for a writ of | habeas corpus, and he was taken before Judge Scott, in Baltimore, and the case partially heard. | Sorrell is charged with an assault with intent to kill Ella Coleman, who was divorced from him a few weeks ago. The prisoner will probably be delivered to our authorities as soca se tho proper papers are sent on. ——_* | A Mopgrw Samson.—Some one last night | stole—not the gates of Gaza, but one almost as heavy—the large iron gate from the east side of the City Hall enclosure.

Hot cofiee, chocolate, &c., will take the place of stronger beverages. Some of the young men invited— bashful and not beauties—are doubtful about a sufficient number of ladies being present to take them to supper, and as they have never played wall-flower, and don’t wish to, they are rather doubtful about taking the risk ‘of being neglected for handsomer youths. The party is under the management of Miss Nannie R— presidentess of the club. THE RIVER was frozen over this morning opposite this city until broken by the steamer dy of the Lake. CITY ITEMS.
