J., March 28.—The col oreJ peop'u in tbe northeru notion of this town are in a terrible state of excitement over a supposed attempt to abduct oue of their number, a colored youth of ubout 14 years of ag3. The abductors are sup|»»yl to be medical from Philadelphia, who are endeavoriug to procure subjects for dissecting purposes. The youth who claims to have met with these abductors U named Lewis Still, and his story is as follows: While walking to tbe residence of a neighbor three men crept, up on him, and, seizing him, endeavored to throw a covering over his head. The boy was so frightened that he seemed to be possessed with a superhuman strength, and, breaking away from his captors, rushed yelling down the street and never stopped until he reached the residence of the nearest neighbor, where in Incoherent accents he told the story to the terror-stricken people. An alarm was immediately sounded, and the crowd rushed forth for the purpose of capturing the supposed collego students, but their attempts were unsuccessful, though they saw the men at a distance. It is alleged that this is not the only attempt made at abduction recently; that several of the colored residents have been assaulted on the street* In con- i|uence of this fact r.be people are afraid to venture out at night, r.he utmost excitement prevails, and tales of the most horrible character are wlrtperrd amoug them. It has been asserted by some of the wise ones that the laws of the country ■five these medical colleges four live bodies u year, providing they inay secure them, and that after they have secured them these terrifying students hang tlutm up by the huels and bleed them Others assert that they are cut up while living so that the workings of tha various organs inay be viewed. All these whisperings tend to make the terror already instilled in tlfeso people even worse, and even in the day-time the children are watched as they leave their homes lest some Horrible student carries them off.
