a Lucky Escape. Some three

dcred it TO be placed in the dissecting

should be carved up for their edifica-
ton within day or two at the far

During the lecture the next morn
ing, a tremendous noise was heard from
the region Of the dissecting room, and
some of the more timid of the Students
grew pale with terror, imagining that
ghosts of the butchered subjects were
appearing to take vengeance on them,
or else holding their dircful orgies over

When dead drunk he was undoubtedly

was his fright that poor Pat solemnly
declared he never again would touch

laughter over the ridiculous joke, babe
him take to his heels, and never again
