THE SraMEsE TwlNs.--Dr. Warren Of Bos-
ton lately communicated the following among
other interesting particulars in regard to the
Siamese twins, who were reported while
since to have died in England, whereas they
were then and are now, alive aud well, living on
their farm in North Carolina. DR.. W. says
that the connecting substance between the tw"
is very strong, and has no great seasihlIitly it
can be severely handled without causing palh.
No pulsating vessel can be felt in it. The
slightest motion of one is Immediately follow
ed by the other in the same direction, so that
the same wish seems to influence both: this is
quite invoIumtariIy, or habit formed by neces-
sity. They always face in one direction, Stall
ding nearly side by side, aud cannot without
Inconvenience face in opposite directions. One
is rather more intellectual than the other; tic
most intellectual being rather irritable, the 9th
er being extremely amiablc.
The connection between these twins might
afford some very interesting observations in
physiology, therapeutics, anthology There
is doubtless n connection by minute blood YES
scls, absorbcnts, and nervous iaments, which
might transmit the action of medicines and the
causes of disease As far as known, any
indispostion of one extendsto the other they

No more my pulse beat madly high,

An EccExTRIc. .OLp BArHELoR--A letter
dated Woodbridge, New Jersey, July d, gives
the following singular account of al eccentric
old bachelor:
An old bachelor has died lately in this place,
having fortune of $4,000. From what
learn of him he must have been one of the most
eccentric and curious chaps that ever lived.
Ills clothes upon being taken off were <eparat'-
" folded in paper aud were never al!owe tie
sipht of a brr sli, Il silk handkerchief answering
every purpose.
Should he be in the road and spy wagon
in the distance, he would run for his life, for
fear speck ofdust should chance to fly upon
hi,n. The village bellies have enjoyed many II
laugh at him when returning from church, to
see him take to his heels and run at the sight
of Il carriage or a G. ud Of dust, and although
he would take no lrnlce of them at the time, vet
they were not forgotten He always endcavo
red to keep as clear of the ladies rs possible:
and particularly the widows, whom he looked
upon as something very dreadful, and was new
rr caught walking in the road with one it he
knew it.
With all lis oddities he was miscrly to a
cent, and would often Lc seen ut the stores eX.
changing quarter OF dollar for % PEN
nies, thereby saving copper on every twenty
five. These he woud not take either without
examining every one TO see whether it wa-
not bad, rusty, or something else. Many OF
the articles he bought was by the penny's
worth, and hence his great use for that Particu-
lar coin. When he came to the last OF his bun.
die it was wrapped in two pieces of paper and
laid away.
Thus lived this curious old man, and when he
