A Panic in a Medical Col
lege.

1t has transpired that about
two weeks ago a party of stu
dents belonging to one of the
me lical colleges at Cleveland,
o., while on a stiff raising ex-
pedition, ,eXhumed the corpseof a
victim of small pox. The sub
ject was carried to the dissect-
ing room, and there a number
Of students were exposed, with
out knowing it. The contagion
is most virulent justafter death,
and there was a decided panic
in the institution on discovering
the state of affairs. The stu
dents left for home precipitate-
ly and at one time it appeared
as thought the coil ge would be
obliged to temporarily suspend
operations. Strenuous efforts
were made to keep the matter
from p:blic notoriety, but since
two Of the embryo physicians
have come down with the dis
ease the truth leaked out. The
young men who caught the dis
ease had never been vaccinated.

| A young Man Takes His Dead
Wlfe's Clothing in His Arms
and Lies Down and Dies.
From the Saginaw (MicEigan) Enterprise ]
Prank Walker, a young man
twenty-five years old, was found
dead 10 his bed at the residence Of
Mr.. Martin Cramer, oD Jefferson
street, near johnson, yesterday
morning. Walker was a barber
by trade, and about three
months ago was working in this
city. At that time he made IN
elopement with the daughter Of
Mr.. Cramer, girl Of sixteen.
They went to Bangor, were mar
ried, and went to Toledo, where
Walker secured work. Very soon,
however, the young wife sickened
and died OF dlphtberia, and
Walker brought the body to this
city for burial. He has remained
here since, working in a barber
shop on Potter street. 1t would
seem that his wife's death affected
him greatly. He was low spirit
ed. and took at times to strong
drink. Whenever he did this his
constant talk was of his wife, and
at numerous times talked in such
a way as to convince his acqualn-
tances that his mind was shat
tered. About three weeks ago.
or soon after bis wites burial, ht
attempted TO commit suicide by
cutting his throat with a razor,
but was discovered in time to pre-
vent the contamination OF his
purpose. A week ago he started
from the shor at eleven o clock at
night, went to the cemetery and
brought back quantity of earth
from his wife's grave. He was
constantly talking of meeting
"my Rosa this being his wlie's
name.
When he was found dead yes.
terday he was in bed, and i'll his
arms were tightly clasped a dress,
a shawl, and numerous other ar
ticles of woman's apparel, all OF
which belonged to his wife. A
trunk once hers WIS stand
ing open in the bed'roum, IS be
lett it when h. took out the cloth
ing, and a paper which had con-
tanned morohine was lying on the
floor 1t was plain enough, and
sad enough. Pressing close to his
breast the garment which had
clothed the dead girl-wife, he
sought forgetfuIness in the drug,
and so faithful heart passed on
across the river. ., .a

It is a curious fact that, fthe
same letters of the same size
precisely are painted, on two
boards, the one white on black
ground and the other black on
white ground, the white letters
will appear larger, and be read
at a greater distance than the

is called irradiation of Tight. 1t

CHRISTMAS HYMN.

CHRISTMA As HYMN.
Upon Judea starlit plain
There broke u sudden glory,
And distant mountains caught the strain
OF an exulting story.
Above the sad and weary earth
Were angel voices ringing
The blessings of Saviour's birth
The burden of their singing.
1t trembled to their harps Of gold,-
That strain divinely tender;
Along the shining skies it rolled,
In grand and choral splendor.
1t floated o'er the sleeping world,
A balm Tor all its sorrow,
Its flag of heavenly peace unfurled,
To greet brighter morrow.
The shepherds keeping vigil there
Had heard the Advent angel,
Whose words of grace'had calm'd their fe1r
And told the new evaneel.
And when the music ceased, they went
To Betllehems low manger,
Where Mary, mother, held, content,
The wondrouS infant Stranger.
Still, when the music dies away,
And hearts with grief are breaking,
We take our path from day to day,
And, earthly fields forsaking,
We go to Bethlehem and kneel,
Where mystic incarnation,
In human form doth God reveal
Himself, our consolation.
