The North Carolina Twins,

These little wonders, now the property of
Messrs. Brewer & Shelton, have been cx-
hibited in this city for several dvys during
the present week, to many vi,itcrs. They
are regarded by all who have seen them as
the most remarkable human curiosity ever
produced with prospect of life.
They arc two little negro girls, about two
years and three months old, of a brown
color, well grown, good looking, and very
sPrightly. Their names are Christian and
Milly, but each applies the latter name to
the other The visitcr will generally find
them seated on table, neatly dressed, OK.

formity; but on examination, the anatomist
will lind them united to each other in a
most remarkable manner al the lower az

called in anatomical language, the os sa-

Our Branch Road.

We notice in the last issue Of the South
ern Patriot a general onslaught on rail.
road branches, and kick in particular at
the Abbeville branch. The editor very
confidently and cody asserts-as cody as
when he tells co-operationists and seces.
ionists Of tho State that they are all.
every mothers son ofthem, submissionists
that the Abbeville branch is a dead
expense to the company, and takes occa-
sion from this example to warn the com.
pany to be cautious how il extends its ma.
ternal wing over amy other branch road.
That the country may be Correctly inform
ed and duly prepared to estimate the
Patriots advice, we have taken the pains
to procure from Mr.. Sondley, the agent
OF the Abbeville branch report, an ac-
curate statement of the business Of the
road. From the 1st to the pad of the
prcsen: month there have been received
on freight and travel, $4,000. Tn the
same time, 700 bags Of cotton have been
shipped, which, at one dollar per bag
gives 800, and added to the above. s3..
200. Besides this, considerable amount
has been paid by passengers over the
branch road to the agents of other depo,s
ofthe company, which for the sake of ac-
curacy, we put down at $2Oo-the agent
and conductor would say more. Wenow
have for 22 days Of branch road business
the handsome sum Of 400. The ex-
penses of running the cars for that time
are estimated by Mr.. S. at 5000, leaving
net income Of $500. The branch cost
100000, this exhibit, therefore, gives the
satisfactory rate Of % 2 5 per cent per
annum on the original investment. When
the Greenville branch does as well as this
the + triot will doubtlss exult, but must
remember TO give credit to whom credit
is dino
