Where You See Him ia all HU Glory A Peep Into ft DiMecting Room Where the Bodies Come From How They are Prepared The Law of Pennsylvania on the Subject The Famous "Resurrectionist,'! Did you ever behold young Sawbones la all his elory when, with the scalpol In his bloocty l.anl, upon the rigid c-ulaver which lay stretched upon the dissecting table before him, he traces a chining nerve through all Its ramifications, or separate one deltatues tissue from another? To those who have not enjoyed this rare felicity, wo purpose to destrlbe him as he appears each week-day nign,t. Among the many l:tces in our city which to the great mass of j c' i le are cloaked in an almost impenetrable mjflery are THE PI88ECTINO-ROOM8. Of these the general public have but a vague idea, as to the particulars of their location; and are far from ponpesMng any definite knowledge on the subject. From Dame Rumor they have learned a little; but by reason of a natural timidity, and a powerful" misgiving that If they attempt to penetrate into these adyta of medi cine and surgery they will be rewarded by a harsh rebuke, or, what Is very possible," an ej ctment i armis, they hesitate from any effort at un veiling the mystery, and remain per force no wiser. MEDICAL 8TCDENT8 are accounted a graceless set of scamps, "nrone to wander into by and forbidden paths," full of evil themes and wicked devices. Their immo rality is recognized; for rarely a Sunday passes but come divine announces a discourse for their particular benefit, and to which, both from the pulpit and through the medium of the press, their earnest attention is invited a distinction which other classes of scholars are not com monly known to receive, and demonstrating that the young medicos are in need of clerical exhortation. While it has been pointedly ob served by some philosophers that medicine and morals go "hand in hand," it is in the main quite certain that the medical student has a dis position to master the one and overrate the importance and Ignore the other; and teo often their Alma Mater stands aghast at the IMPUDENT AUDACITY and cool daring of her progeny. When the medical student matriculates, and enters upon the study of the human anatomy, he is inspired with an ambition to prosecute his important investigations on the fresh subject. It is but little satisfaction to him to dissect a manikin made by some skilful Frenchman; to remove layers of mock-flesh, strip off great clusters cf muscles, and take off limb by limb, uutil one sees only a hideous torso, by just removing a few pins, when he knows that in a room over head bis brothers are revelling over the freshly embalmed subject just imported from the Alms bouse or Totter's field. Forthwith he acquaints the demonstrator with his passion for livelier work, is referred to the janitor, pays his money, and in twenty-four hours Is overwhelmed in the contemplation of the body of a cadaverous pauper and its subsequent dismemberment. BODY BNATCHER8. Before our State laws were framed to meet the great want of medical colleges subject our readers will remember the many horrible tales of body snatching, when at "the very witching hour of night When churchyards yawned," ' the graves were robbed of their dead. Our city has in time past been often intensely agitated by such horrible occurrences. But when a liberal law was enacted these excitements sub sided, from the belief every one had that the supply from legitimate sources would be ample for the wants of the colleges. The act which governs this matter, passed la the session of 1807, reads thus: THE LAW OP 186T. An Actor the Promotion of iltdical Science and lo J'rtrent the Traffic in Human Bodie in the City of Philadelphia and County of Allegheny, Section 1. Be it enacted, etc., That any public oillcer in the city or Philadelphia and county of Allegheny, having charge thereof or control over the came, shall give permission to any physician or surgeou uf the same city and county, upon his re quest made therefor, to take the bodies ot deceased persons required to be burled at the public expense, to be by him ubed within the Mate lor the advance ment of medical science, preference being given to ruedicnl schools, public and private, and said Dodles t ) be distributed to and among the same equitably, the number assigned to each being proportioned co that of Its students: Provided, however, that if the deceased person, during his or or her last sickness, of his or her own accord, shall request to be buried ; or if any person claiming to be and satisfying the proper authorities that lie is of kindred to the de ceased shall ask to have the body for burial, it shall lie mrreudered for interment; or If such deceased person was a stranger or traveller who died sud denly, Hie body shall be burled and shall not be handed over as aforesaid. (Section 8. Every physician or surgeon, before re caivlng any such dead body, hhall give to the proper authorities surrendering the same to hlmasuillcient bond i hat each body shall be used only for the pro motion of medical science within this State. Aud whosoever shall use such body or bpdles for any other purpose, or shall remove the same beyond the limits of tills State, and whosoevvr shall sell or buy such body or hoales, or in any way traitlc In the su rue, .shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and stiall, on conviction, be imprisoned for a term noc exceeding five years at hard labor in the county jail. WHERE THE BUBJECTS COME FROM. The Almshouse and the Coroner's oOlce are the prolific sources whence comes the supply of subjects for dissection. How they are re moved from these places, when and to what particular institutions, la known to but a few persons, and they are very close mouthed. After seventy-two hours, say the rules of the new Morgue, the unclaimed body shall be burled; but as a supplement to these rules was but recently enacted, to the effect "that any regular physician may embalm an unclaimed body, with the permission of the Coroner," it will at once clearly appear that instead of being removed to the field for sepulture, they will at once go to the college, where, as is stipulated by the law, they shall be used for the advancement of medical science. THEIR PRICE. But while the law again says "The said bodies shall be distributed among the medical colleges equitably," therefore leaving one to imagine that no expense (save that of transpor tation) would be involved to the students, they experience no such, happy condition oi attalra Twenty dollars is the average price they pay lor a cadaver, and the quotations nuctuate ac cording to the hygienic condition of the paupers and the extremes of weather. It would be quite an expensive veuture tor one student to pur chase by and for himself: and to mitigate it. four usually combine in the buying of a sub ject, aud take each a limb, leaviug the vital parts to be dissected by the demonstrator, ac- couapantea by an explanatory lecture. A HIDEOUS PLACE. Let us look into the medical depart me at of one of our colleges, we descend into the cellar. and into a special apartment of it. An almost overpowering nausea assails us. With every breath we inhale a combination oi stcneuing odors, arising from mouldering Mesh and chemi cals. Here. Is the place where the bodies are received and subjected to the embalming pro cess, such as the injection into the veins of pyroxylic spirit, or melted wax and arsenic, or other antiseptics. Thus are they preserved uuiu me nenaisn aemuna lor "more" from some sanguine and gory-hauded Sawbones shall lspue from the oissecwng-room.

Evince no tlm 4( qUall as the doors open, ana t tainted air, like a besom, sweeps upon yor ih) jn wlth tne crowd where there r0 '' many you will escape discovery. As yr enter, a thrill of horror overcomes you. A frightfully-repulsive scene meets the eye. lie fore you exiena two rows ot tables, eacn freighted with a ghastly burden, over which a score of enthusiastic isawbonofl hover with fiendish enthusiasm, making you believe that "Thry are neither brute nor human They are ghouls." Upon some of the tables you descry bodies, some shapely in form, as yet untouched by the scalpel, and partially covered with coffee-bags or oil-cloths. Upon others, 3'ou see the subject disembowelled, with an arm or leg missing, and with its flesh laid open, where the student tins been tracing the arterial system, and covered with masses of gory muscles. Upon another a hideous, eyeless head, or a torso in process of reduction to a shapeless, distorted, disgusting mass of human flesh. And over all these tables, Picking with tweencrs and knife, are the students, some with sleeves rolled up, and thus untrammelled in their bloody labors; some witn bandages about the mouth to prevent the taint ing odors from Infecting their lungs. Here, from early dusk until late at night, they slash and cut, and saw with the utmost energy and sang froid. Here it is you behold younir Saw bones in all his glory i THE CHIEP BOILER There is here a man, whose look is in keeping with his repulsive calling, who boils and bleaches the bones of the subjeots, that the stu dents have stripped as far as possible of flesh. The bones, it is said, he lays upon the roof of the building to be whitened, and then Bends them off to be articulated. He makes his living by boiling skeletons at $12 each. THE "RESURRECTIONIST is the one who procures the bodies for the stu dents, w here he gels them, or bow he frets them, legitimately or by a 83 stem of scavenger- ing, is never questioned, ihls is his vocation to scour for subjects for the students, whether they come from the Almshouse, the prisons, the hospitals, the Morgue, the 1 otters-field, or the graveyards. OTHER DISSECTING" ROOMS. Having seen one, you become familiar with the transactions of those at the University of Pennsylvania, Jefferson College, the Philadel phia University, the Eclectic College, aud all the many private dissecting-rooms in the city. They all proceed upon the same general plan. All present the same disgusting scenes. All get their subjects from the same source. Some times tbey are brought to the colleges in "broad daylight" in provision wagons, and thns suspicion is warded off. In many instances they are delivered in bags. But we must draw the curtain on these horrors. PRESBYTERY MEETING. Meetlncof the Philadelphia Presbytery Keen lar iiUNlneHM. A stated meeting of the Presbytery of Phila delphia was be:d this morning, at 10 o'clock, in the Old Pine Street Presbyterian Church, Pine street, above Fourth, the Moderator in the chair. The proceedings were opened with de votional exercises. The minutes of previous meetings were read and approved. A motion was passed stating that In future all meetings of presbytery should be called bv means of printed circulars from the stated clerk. The committee on the West Chesnut Street Church made a report. They reported that the church was organized by the reception of thir teen members. The report was received and the church placed on the list of the presbytery. The committee on the German Street Church reported ttat, the congregation of that church have agreed to remain in their old location. A communication was read from the congre gation of the West Chesnut Street Church, ask ing that their pastor, Dr. Nevin, be referred to the Missionary Board for aid to the amount of six hundred dollars per annum for two years, at the end of which time the congregation say that they will be able themselves to raise all required of them, and themselves contribute to the board from which they now ask aid. The communication was preeented from a special committee, who were unable to agree, and who ask the presbytery to decide for them. It was laid unjn the table for the present, for the reason that the congregation had not as yet legally elected their pastor. An invitation was received from Dr. Crowell, asking presbytery to hold its next stated meet ing in the Second Presbyterian Church. Ac cepted. A regular call from the West Chesnut Street Presbyterian Church, asking for the services of Rev. Alfred Nevin as pastor, was presented aid received. Dr. Nevin stated that he accepted the call. The church was started last August in a parlor of a private bouse in West Philadelphia, lie s-eid that the aid was aBked from the Board of Missions because the work was prosperous, and promised better results than other older churches, which have never got on with ail their help. It seems that the commltteo do not like to help it, because it is too prosperous. If they wish, we can go ahead more siowly; then, Lerhaps, they will help us. The money is needed, but if it is not given we will go ahead uet the same, as well as we can, without it. It was stated that the injunction on the church was a question of right only. The railroad company did not desire to disturb the congregation, but that at some future time they remove from their ground. The company merely wanted their title fully declared on the records of the court. The church do not ex pect nor do they want to remain upon the ground for any great length of time. The building there is .only temporary. They ex pect to put up a fine permanent building In another location at no very late day. The call of Dr. Nevin was acted upon fa vorably. The report of the committee, embracing the application of the West Chesnut Street Church for aid from the Board of Missions, was taken from the table and discussed. On motion, the request of the congregation was recommended to the board for the amount asked. A committee ef three was appointed to report suitable action on the recent death of a member of presbytery.- An application was received from Rev. Mr. Neil!, a Presbyterian clergyman, asking for missionary work from the presbytery. He had been a missionary in both Carolina and Califor nia in former years, but was obliged to stop work for a while on account of ill health. As his health Is now better, he wishes to go to work again. The matter was referred to an appro priate committee. After the transaction of some unimportant business the presbytery adjourned until after noon. Sneak Thieves in Custody Thomas Wil son and Charles Kutter were caught yesterday morning in the residence of Mr. Stowe, Frout street, below Morris, while in the act of wrap ping up some clothing to carry oft. Mr. Stowe Interfered with the thieves iu their little opera tion, and the result was that they turned on him and "used a blackjack on his bead. The scoun drels then escaped, leaving their plander behind tbem. Yesterday afternoon Policeman Nugent came across the offenders and took them into cuBtodv. Thev had a hearing before Alderman Lutz. and were bound over for a further inves tigation. . Accident. About balf-paet 5 o'clock this morning John Belttle, residing at No. 1235 Fitz water street, fell in Market street, above Broad, and fractured a limb. The sufferer was removed to the Pennsylvania Hospital. Slight Fire About half-past 10 o'clock this morning a slight fire occurred in Hamilton's carpet manufactory, back of No. 1508 North Front street. Found Dead in Bed The Coroner was no titled 1 LI morning to hold an inquest upon a , Ciu.a Avu.u Uvtti no FIRE. Detir,i ilon ot W.t and Iv.ry Yarning K.it bllM enl.

Tryou, Jr., & Co., In the rear of No. 20 N. Second street. Kunnlng back from Second struct a distance of about 2100 feet is a five-storied brick struc ture, terminating in a two-story brick building, the first floor of which is used as an engine room and the second floor by Richard Pendle bury, manufacturer of woollen bobbins. Back ing the latter is a three-storied structure, lu the basement of which a colored man named C. Green carries on the manufacture of hominy; the first floor is unoccupied; the sccoud story is devoted by Messrs. Hoffman Sons to wood-turniDg and working lu pearl, Ivory, and bone. The firm were pretty extensively en gaged in making bone and ivory sleeve buttons, harness rings, crochet needles, etc. The third story is taken up by three parties, viz., Mr. Grass, manufacturer of bungs; Charles Baltz, wood-turner; and Mr. Eggling, who is also a wood-turner. Each of these parties had con siderable stock on hand, together with the lathes, tools, and other machinery. The fire originated in the engine-room, en tered the second story, and destroyed entirely Mr. Pcndlebury's property, which consisted of a full stock, and eleven lathes and other neces sary machinery. Ills loss is not at present known. The flames then entered the econd-story windows of the rear building, and consumed about one-half of the stock and machinery of Messrs. Hoffman & Sons; then eutered the third story, and destroyed its contents, together with a portion of the roof. Messrs. Tryon & Co., the owners of the rear building, have an insurance of $500 in the Koyal Insurance Company, which will probably cover the loss. The engine-house is almost a wreck. It is not Insured. Hoffman & Sons lose about $2000. which is covered by $1500 Insurance. The loss of Mr. lialtz is about a(K), and that of Mr. Grass cannot be more than flOOO. The portion occupied by Mr. EggliDg received damage by water only; me joss is inning. jur. ureen, en the basement, had a stock of hominy worth $200 and some machinery. He is protected by an insurance of $400. Auditors Appointed. In the Orphans' Court for the city and county of Philadelphia. Frederick M.

Burglary in thb Twentieth Ward The Knife and Pistol About 12 o'clock on Sun day night last a daring burglary was perpetrated at the residence No. 1518 North Twelfth street, in the Twentieth ward. An entrance was effected in "jimmying" the kitchen door. The burglars were four in number. They proceeded direct to tne oed-cuamber 01 the occupants, where they overhauled the bureau drawers, and secured plunder to the value of several hundred dollars, including two gold watches and $30 in cash. The occupants were aroused by the racket created by the thieves, but they could make no resistance, as two of the parties stood at the side of the bed, one with a knife and the other with a pistol la hand. Tbey threatened to kill them if they gave aisy alarm. As soou as the burglars left the premises, the window was hoisted and an alarm sounded, but the scoundrels had in the meantime escaped. The police lieutenant who reported this oase to headquarters could not give the liame of the party who suffered. Operations of the Girard Estate. There are in Girard College 209 pnpils born within the old city limits and 335 who are natives of other parts of our State, and upon the list of appli cants for admission are the names of thirty-five poor, fatherless boys. Applicants who are natives ot the city have no preference In ad mis sion over those who are born in the most distant counties of Pennsylvania. From a condensed statement of the affairs of the Girard Trust, we learn that the par value of its securities is $1,122,554-21. The receipts of the estate during lo70, from collieries, city Joans, leases of pro rertv (including the transfer of an unexpended balance of $105.092 00 to the Directors of the City Trusts on March 1) amounted to $767,141-97. The expenditures for the same period aggre' gated $747,296 92, leaving a balance in the trea sury on December 81, 1870. of $19,81505, Among the items of expense we find $54,945 for taxes, $52,027 for building dwelling-houses on Sixth street, below Brown. $326,000 as a tempo rary investment, and $1859 for the widening of ater street. Robbery of Sewing Silks. Last evenln the store of J. & A. Kemper, No. 33 South Fourth street, was broken Into by thieves, who carried oil sewing buks to the value 01 $450. the property of a young man, who occupied a portion of the first floor as a salesroom. The robbers had secreted themselves in the building No. 81 South Fourth street previous to its being doped up, and when night came they proceeded to the roof, and then scaled the roof of No. S3, which was some four feet higher than No. 31. They made an operation on the skylight of Met-srs. Kempers establishment, and then lowered themselves down. That they took notbincr from Kemper's manufactory is sur prlblng. The robbery was committed early In the evening, as the private watchman found the door open at 10 o ciock. Pneak TniEF. Early this morning a mn glvicg the name of Alfred Thomas was found In a room iu tho house of Mrs. Glenn, No. 1005 Race street. The key was ou the outside of the door. This key the people who found him there took the opportunity to turn, and Thomas was uiuQo a prisoner. An oulcer was sent ior, and the supposed thief was taken into custody, He bad a hearing before Alderman Jones, and was held in $1000 bail to answer. As to his guilt or innocence the opinion of the police is divided. That of ( Ulcer Smith Is that he had an eye to the spoons. Officer Jones, on the contrary, attributes the visit of Mr. Thomas to an attack of the tender passion inspired by the rbaims of the servant trirl in Mrs. Glean' 1SURAISCK.
