The SIAMEsE TwINs-A North Caro-
lima gentleman, (Surrey County, addressed
letter to the North Carolina Star, in al
fusion to the report that Changing, the
Siamese brothers, were dead. The writer
is happy to say that the report has no foun-

day before his date, the twenty-third July,
we'll and hearty, and as full of life as ever
he saw them-speaking to all of the pros.
pect of their crop-also of their wives and
children. of the latter they have nine, as
hearty children as the State can produce in
one family. He says he should be very sor'
ry to hear of any misfortune happening te
the twins, an they are honest, industrious
kndhearted, and good neighbors.-HOm'
