her that ber ribs were distended to a

the operation that she might live a

Her abdomen was laid open with a

CLEARFIELD,
Scene in a iHnceHnr Itoom.
A renorLer has reeontlv taken a
few notes in a Mediuul College, where
he found hundreds of young men, and
few women, fating themselves lor
the business of prescribing tor "ail
tho ills that flesh is hoir to." The
following relative to tho dissecting
room, win uo iounu interesting :
In the evening, the medical stu
dents who are earnest enough to
seek, by hard work, to obtain a knowl
edge of their profession resort to the
dissecting rooniB, of which there are
soveral, located in dinvrent parts of
tho citr. the largest and finest of
them is located in tho upper part of a
college building, whore twonty-five
or thirty tables are rauged between
half a dozen rows ol bright gns lights.
Around tbe sides of the rooms forty
or more closets are numbered and sot
apart for the use of the students, who
change thoir clothing whenever they
engage in the work of dissection. The
tables are' about six feet long by
eighteen inches wide, and three feet
six inches high, one end being inclined
for draining purposes. Under direc
tion of the college faculty, "subjects"
l. o., dead bodies are procured and
brought to this room, which, although
thoroughly ventiluted, smells very
much like a slaughter house, which it
resembles in some respects. Head
less, legless and armless bodies occupy
some of tbe tables. On others, un
touched bodies await the disposition
of tho "demonstrator," who appor
tions it according to the demand ; one
student asking for tbo head and neck,
another taking the trunk; one gets
an arm or leg ; in short the body is
divided according to the inclination
or desire of tho different dissectors to
pursue their investigations of certain
portions of the human anatomy. It
is a ghastly fight to witness a score
of dead bodies, or as many portions
thereof, lying iu all stages of dissec
tion, stiff and stark, surrounded by
young men clad in butcbor's ovcrulls,
and armed with small scalpels, with
which thev cut away flesh, fat, or
muscular fibro, whilo following np
veins or arteries to their connection
with vital parts: or searching into
the structure of tbo heart, lungs or
kidnoys, according to the bent of their
duties.
Upon ono tablo lay tbe uncovered
form of a woman, but a few hours
ad. IS'enr by, the inaniniato body
of a muscular looking man; and iur
thcr on, the corpse of a pretty loolK i
ing child, with flaxen curls, was being
ut up lor the Deneni oi living i-nu-
dren ; two students worked together
on this small "subject," which they
treated somewhat tenderly. W ith
open books before them, young men
deftly ply their sharp steel instru
ments, the iucisod flesh held open by
small hooks chained together in such
a manner as to enable the operator to
obtain'an untrammcled working space
npon that part of tbo body which be
is investigating.
When the subjects are first brought
to tho dissecting room, an attendant
injects into the veins a preparation of
plaster, colored with vurinillion. This
brings out distinctly all minut cour
ses through which tho blood passes,
and aids tho student in tracing their
direction and function, besides hard
ening and preserving, to somo extent,
the subject. Periodically, a "Demon
strator of Anatomy" makes his ap
pearance in the dissecting-room, and
discourses learnedly npon some por
tion of anatomy laid bare before the
class, whose scalpels are laid down
and tables deserted, while they crowd
around the Professor during the de
livery of his locturo. In this manner
the medical students are practically
tauL'ht much that other peoplo only
bear of or read about. It is, thcre-
fore, not surprising that they soon
become accustomed to scenes which,
at first siclil of tho dissecting room,
curdled the blood in their veins This
familiarity with tho dead, and the
handling of different portions of the
body, very soon becomes attractive

claim his share of the estate which
was to have been divided among the

Mr. Stevens' letter to Mr. McPhcr

is displayed by the whole Republican

sectional venom which have attended
the bailing ot Jefferson Davis are
quite as revengeful and ignoble in
spirit as Thad. Stevens' persistent

Spirit Lake, Minnesota. A grceu
justice murricd three couples in one

ing satisfied with ono month of matri
mony, and glad to revert to singlo
