from the country brought to town few
days since, one Of the most singular
and unnatural curiosi,ies that we have

hall way down the body, then branch
ing out and forming two distinct, and,
40 Tar as they go, perfect bodies. This
strange animal has eight legs. four ears,
two mouths and but one throat Tho
curious can have an opportunity of ex.

The Legislature Of Louisisna met at
New Orleans, on Monday the i4th ult.
On that day, the Message Of the Go.
vernon WAS received. which. among
other topics, called the attention Of that
body to the necessity Of passing q law
to prevent the importation Of slaves,
and also recommended to the two
Houses to make an early election Of q
u. States Senator, in the place Of Mr..
Livingston. Nat. Journal
The Richmond Enquirer Of the 2d
inst. says" Yesterdays mail brings
us the New Orleans Emporium Of the
19th--twelve days from the Press!-
II states that they had PASSED the act
to prohibit. with some exceptions, the
introduction Of slaves into Louisian ma;
and that they had appropriated TWEEN.
y thousand dollars to arm and equip
the Volunteers Militia Of the State; and
that they had also adopted memorial,
addressing the National Legislature.
respecting the Lands acquired BY the
Inhabitants Of this State under the 20.
vernment Of France and Spain, and
which had been recently sold by our
government, as Public Lands"
LOUISVILLE, KY. NOV. 10.
SfaUrs. "A bill is now before the
House Of Representatives to prevent
the importation Of slaves from other
States, for sale. and will. we are in
formed, probably become a law. II
inhibits the intrUduc ton Of slaves into
Kentucky. from and after the first of
Jusc next. except by emigrants, or
persons residing here who may be-
come, by descent or marriage, propri-
etors OF slaves in other States. Such
an act may do much good, and we
therefore trust it may be passed, and
risidly enforced.
