Birth OF Remarkable Ttcins.-We have rccciv-
ed . note this morning from an intelligent cores
pondent at Hanover Morris County, in this State,
giving some account of a very remarkable birth
in that vicinity, and the death of the mother 1.-The

correspondent:
"She left, week before her departure, n pair
of twins, which are a great natural curiosity
They are daughters: each one entirely perfect in
its form, except that both are connected together
Not like the Samese twins by a single umbilical
lgament; but by much broader attachment
From theicentre of The breast 20 the botlem OF tie
abdomen they are united together into one, the
whole breadth of the body the two faces lying
side by side together in close contact; and the
arm of each crossing the other on either side, as
if in very affectionate embrace. From the dis
lance at which they are proruded from each 9TH
er by their abdominal breadth, it seems most like.
1y that their respective intestinal organization are
distict, and their pectoral organization likewise
yet externally there is no visible line of demar-
cation, except below the abdomen, and above the
middle Of the chest.
Thay survived their birth but short time.
