NoRTH CAROLINA TWINS.


DR.. Gocch, editor of the Tethnscope, a medical
journal published at Richmont, Va, gives the tol-
lowing, III his account OF tie North Gao liza
Twins:
'sVhese two children were born in July. 1851.
The EyoIier is a stout ncgfesS'' aged 81; Very tat,
and large frame. They are remarkably spr'ght-
" and healthy chidren, Of TatGral size, one some
what larger than the other, aud are perfectly
farmci, but they are unittG at Ia SGcrG-tEA low
er termination Of The back. The bond OF union
seems To be chiefly carIila ginou5, but the sacra
are 30 closely appropriated thai some Suppose
there is osseous union uf thosn bones. TIE AM
tOmieal confirmation has some strange prcuIiari-
ties, interesting to professional men, wirch we
omit. Their usual position ls sl their sides, (ttiP

an education in the arts Of sitting and iGcomH-

mon.seat, and take it ny turns which is 10 wax

day OK so before the recent election addressed
the following s;irviug words lo the Wing. party:
Wigs ! are you ready We hear v0p shout
call ready" Well" ire !" and may [icd have
mercy on the zoe.
1t appears HIS prayer was answered, aad God
did have mercy on the foc. The fire of the
Wings had no more effect on the Democrats than
SO much saw:dust. Are tho prayers of tla edi.
