EFFECTs OF DEALING IN LOTTERIES Not
withstanding the stringent laws of PenHsylva-
MIA against the sale of lottery policies or K
cts, the business is carried on in this city uite
boldly and very extensively, greatly to the in
jury OF hundreds Of our citizens, and to the
ruin of young men. Scarcely a day passes
but complaint is made before some alderman
by the victims Of this perniciOus system. but
rarely, if ever, does Il conviction of the offend
ers follow. On Saturday last n young man,
respected by numerous friends, and until re-
Gently employed as Il confidential and inan-
cial clerk of a house in Market street, was ar
Iaigned before Alderman 0gle on the charge
of using some 50 600 Of his employers money,
which the offender confessed was used for the
purchase of lottery tickets To obtain this
money, false entries ami even forgery was ne
cessary, and when the unfortunate young man
discovered that an exposure would soon fol
low, he took his fight to neighboring city,
but an officer tracked him and brought him
back. 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 warrant was issued for his
apprehension, with the hope that the money
may be regained and the unlawful dealer
brought to justice. The young man was held
in 81 900 to answer.-PhIia. Ledger.

POPULATION OF THE CRMEA.-In the present

are peasants, flrmerS, or shepherds; 5000

The Christian population does % amount 10
more tnan - 600 or % OG0, and is entirely Of
EurUpean origin. The number Of Russians
carrying on trades, who have established them
selves IN the Crimea since the conquest are
not calculated at more than 5000 Turkey,
and more particularly Const tnlinopIe. have
furnished a contingent Of 1905 Greeks, who

gentlemen Of extensive experience and of nm

anu dlssectons whenever subjss could be, by
any means whatever, obtained. We assem-
tled on one dark, stormy evening, in the lee
Iure-roon. A lecture, by the Professor Of the
Theory and Practice of Medicine was pro-

was heard. The porter whose duty IL was 10

gOn under the shed, and if the Professor or the
students wished one fresh from the grave and
out recently deceased, he would dispose Of il
NJ faIr compensation. A bargain was at
once made; the price demanded. ffty dollars
was paid; and the body deposited on the ta-
Die. The lecture, Of course, was interrupted
out as soon as this matter was disposed OF. the
lecturer proceeded. At the close of the lee
