A oorrespondent of the Chicago InterOcean, writing from Rock ford, Ills, tinder date of the 3rd, cays one of the most complete expositions which have ever been made of spiritualism was witnessed at Brown's Hall, in that city, on last Saturday evening. The world renowned mediums, Annie Eva Fay and C. A. Mansfield, alias 'H. C. Fay, gave a light seance, consisting of U»e usual cabinet manifestations performed by mediums in general. The hall was well filled with many of our best .and mo%t intelli gent citlaans, $nd among tbemmany whs wnto spiritualists. The examining committee consisted of the Hon. Andrew Ashton, ex-Representative of the State Legislature, and Mr. H. R. Enoch editor of the Rockford Journal. The medium, Mrd. Fay, was firmly bound with strips of cloth around the wrist and the knets sewed, then securely fastened to a lirge poet in the center of the cabinet her feet were then tied together and held to the flper. Another band was placed around her neck and fastened to the post. The cgmmittee pronounced the lady securely bound, and the show began. Musical Instruments of all kinds such, as^ bells, guitars, tambourines, mouth organs, etc., were play fed af various times 111 the dark cabinet. Mans field did a few manifestations.' Amofij others was that of being bound anc •laoed inside the cabinet. Dr. J. Philips, of Belvidere, was lotidly called for to de the tying- The mediuth objected to hfef tying strongly, saving it whs no use, he was Hound so that it was impossible for him to stand it. The doctor, therefore, was wot allowed to tie but one arm. The doctor made objections to the business then, but took hfs seat and remained quiet till the show weft over, though loudly called for.

No sooner had the curtain dropped for the last time, when Dr. Pbillipsoffered to forfeit a hundred dollars if he could not go npon the stage and do the same things that the mediums had done. He woald firtt do tbem in the cabinet, closed, as Mrs.*Fay had done them, an* would afterward do them in the light, and

"Merrick's corpse is still at the medical oollege," said a student of that school to a Ne#s reporter, yetftefday afternoon, "His head has been separated from hib body, together with the vertebrae of the ftefek and the spinal cord racased, which wih-be preserved in the college museum. The students have been working on his body every day for a week. The demonstrator, Dr. Marsee, has been il ltf&tratftig several important surgical operations. His legs, armfe and feet have been amputated. The skeleton tfill be articulated and preserved by Dr. Marsee. Until Monday last the body was intact, uncarved. But you would not nave recognized it. The heavy beard was cut close to his lace, and his hair Wasn't an inch long.""®liPw ''When was he taken?" "I don't exactly remember, the night he was buried^ I think. The sexton died-'about that time, and there was no trouble in getting him. Nobody oared where his bones were." "How do you manage to use all the subjects you get, and where do you keep them?" "We g,e| them when .we want them, and never accumulate a stock on hand. When any of us need a subject we fdrm a elkss of five and Inform the demonstrator, accompanying the request with #5 apiece, and he sees that we are supplied. Of course you know who takes the bodies from the graveyards,-^the resurrectionists, Dr. Billy and his colored assistant.

"How and where are these bodies taken?" "Tba manner of body snptpbing is too \yell kuow4i to need despeiption. Two men are'all that are necessary .to do the job. They drive out te a' {jtavtfyard1 in which they have marked A grave. 'Whita it is found they begin digging from, the head to the feet." ,,

Wten thky are p»«8sed for time, howevee, they cacPt 4attend to these little details. The body is doubled np, the head thrust between tha *k«ees, and in thai position it is chocked into strong canvas bag, made for thiat pnrpoee, and carried to the college. The resurrectionists usually procure two stiffs at each excursion, and get 925 for nanh "Where do they get subjects? Oh, most«ny place where they can easily be got at.. Crown hill is never visited. The old oeaetery and the country graveyards, when they are not too fir from the city, furnish the greater portion Of ocursubjects. In the present year or season, which ended last Thursday, we used about twenty-five bodies, And the physio-medical college about half a dozen." "What kind of bodies do yon nse?" "Adults, if possible over the age of twenty Ave years, the-bones are not usually entirely formed until that age. The larger portion of those wo need wore those of old persons the sex was about' equally divided.. At least two-third* were colored snbjects they are more easily procured than white ones, aad when wo are discovered these isn't snob sn internal row raised. "We had a beautiful female subject soon after New Years last. She was a woman of the town, eame from Indianapolis, I believe, and waa genuinely beautiful. Her eyea and hair were light, and her form wonld have been

How is a body treated after it reaches the college?" "The first thing done Is to wssh it, if it happens to be dirty.

*The Singular Accident Which Compelled a Mail ib Starve to Death—Fhinfiu Consequences of Swallowing His False

Teeth—Seven W$eks WffliOutFpqd.

PHIGAinBLPHIA, F6b. 23^ 1819.

According 'Ao the report of a lookl paper a man died .here on tbe-4th inst, under very singular circumstances. His name was Levi Wagonseller. He was thirty^ei^it yean of age and-was employed ina oettonfactoryat Fairmount: One evening in Decern bor last he entered A Ohestnut street restsurant to iapper. Wbto about half through the meal he suddenly felt something sharp and pointed going down his throat, etmUng him Intense pain. For a moment he thought he had swaliowed a large and jogged piece of bone, bat patting his fcind to his mouth MM n# ively to his mouth on feeling the pain, he found that his false teeth were missing, and ho knew thsl it mnst bivie been they whieh had gone down hi# throat. Tbo teeth were three in ntttti* ber. They wore 'fastened to sHVer plate, and bad boen In his ftOtttf Tor many years. Recently tbe hooks holding them In place baji worn loose, and the artificial teeth bad annoyed him by falling from his month several times, plate and all hod gone down his throat, and be could feel ttom lodged *g*iMt his breast. Alarmed and suffering intensely, Wagonesller went to his home, whieh was in a suburb of tbe city (Hestonvillefc in Paxson street, between Fifty-first and Fifty-second. He eon id sat no solid food, and for two dsjrs be took nothing into his stomach. On the third day he managed to force down a ttttle bread and milk. On this day the sufferer went to tbe University Hospital to see Dr. Agnew, who, after examining him, seemed to have little hope of saving^his life.

Wagonselier then oasse to Philadelphia to stop at his sister's bouse to receive medical treatment from her physician, Dr. Stewart, of No. 1840 Green street.

TAB MAN GROWS WOMB.

Dr. Stewart was called upon to visit the patient on the fifth day after tbe occurrence, He advised him to take a swallow of gin as the readiest means of dislodging tbo teeth, which still remained in tbe throat. The patient followed his advioe, and almost immediately felt the teeth going down. But this only led to a worse result. Tbe teeth moved down and lodged about one inch and a half above the entrance to the stomach. Had they passed into tbe stomach, according to medical authority, the chief danger in tbe esse

Tbe plate, with the teeth in it, was found about one inch and a half above the entrance of the stomach, tbe nooks firmly imbedded irf tbe flesh. There were.marks at certain intervals in tbe throat, showing the progress of the plate as It passed downward, the prints of the teeth being in several places plainly visible.
