WASHINGTON, Aug. 24-The question whether
the Commissioner of Patents is authorized to re-
fund money in the case of man who, having
filed caveat and paid 500, demands the return
of SO, and in the case of others who, having
also filed caveats and paid $40 additional making
total of $50, demand return of 800 having
come before the Secretary of the Interior, it was
referred by him to the Attorney General for de-
cision. The latter holds, in the first instance,
that there is no provision allowing the caveator
to withdraw any portion of the 800 !; and in the
second place, that without conforming to the stat
ute, in the making of an application, it cannot be
said that one has legally been made-consequent
ly, it is impossible to withdraw the application
before it is made, and that, as caveat is not an
application for patent, in any possible sense of
the term, it is clear that the Commissioner can
not refund portion of the caveat fee.

The SIAMEsE TWINS OUTDoNE. One of
those remarkable malformations occasionally
met with, both among the higher and lower
orders Of the animal creation, presented itself
few days since in the practice of one of the
physicians of this village. 1t was child
having two perfectly distinct heads, developed
equally as regards size and shape, which are
united to single body, each by its own neck.
The shoulders are broader than natural; but
in other respects the body is not unlike that
of other children at birth; it has but two arms
and two legs. An internal examination was
made, as it was dead born, which exhibited
most singular arrangement of the organs con-
tanned in the chest and abdomen. Two per-
feet and entire spinal columns were formed !;
each had the usual number of ribs viz,
making forty. eight in all. The
middle or internal sets of ribs were united
together, so that the entire chest constituted
about single cnvity, containing four lungs,
the middle pair being united Two wind.

all the blood to this strange body. Two food
pipes led to single stomach, and, except that
it had but one kidney, the right, the abdomi-
nal viscera were single, and natural.

present an accomplished and highly esteemed
instructor. He is a tall and fine looking speci.

educated in the institution at Danville and
would pass for beautiful and ACCOMPLISHED
lady in any circle of society. Mr.. and Mrs
VIM. Hoagland, the parents of the bride al
whose house the marriage took place, are also
both of them deaf mutes. They received their
education some twenty-five or thirty wears
since at the same institution. The three 9th !.
er children-twO of whom hear and talk :
their youngest, little boy of nine years, is,
like the bride, mute, and expects before
long to go to the same institution, TO obtain
that inestimable blessing-a good education
which his father, mother, and sister, have re.
ceived before him.
There were also present, as invited guests
some twelve or fifteen educated mutes, all Of
them present or former pupils of the above
named institution. Louisville Journal.

TUESDAY, AUGUST IS. 1857.



We publish in another column the official call
of the committee for the Young Mems COnven-
ton in this city on the Sth of September to rati-
fy the nomination of Hon. n. P. Banks for Gov
ernor. The call is signed by several hundred res
idents in different sections of the State, of vari
GUS political parties in the past but representing
now the ideas and interests Of the young voters of
the Commonwealth, which are naturally pro-
gressive and Of the right stamp, when emancipa-
ted from old party thralls.
Among the speakers engaged, are Hon. John
P. Hale, Hon. Henry Wilson, Hon. Charles Al.
len, Hon. Arson Burlingame Hon. Henry L.
Dawes, and other eloquent and steadfast friends
of freedom, whose presence cannot but draw to-
gether a vast assemblage. Aud to add to the in.
terest of the occasion, our readers viii be glad to
note that Mr. Banks himself will be present, and
address the Convention upon the living issues m
yolved in the approaching guberuatorial canvass.
The place selected for the Convention, in the
spacious Mechanics Hall, is very appropriate, as
there can be accommodated a larger hummer Of
persons, probably, than in any other hall in New
England 1t is stated that delegations from many
sections will attend in bodies, accompanied by
bands of music, &C., and altogether we may ex
pect a magnificent turnout. The fare on the
Boston Railroad has been reduced one-half for
the occasion, and we presume the other roads will
do likewise.
Let the people come up. This Convention can
do no harm, if it productive of no good, in aid
ing the rising prospects of Mr.. Banks. 1t will
serve, by conference of sentiment among the
young men, naturally progressive and liberal
spirited, of the various sections of the Common
wealth, to stimulate them to more energetic and
91itel action for the furtherance of those great
principles Of human freedom and of opposition
to the slave power, which are embodied in the
Republican platform, and which Mr.. Banks
stands pledged to carry out, by his emphatic de-
e,arston that "they should be the guiding lights
of his life, and that he should never shrink from
them"
Let delegates to the Convention be chosen
forthwith in every city and town in the Common
wealth, and let each school district in the coun.
ty send in its mass delegation

From Minnesota.

ST. PAULs, August 2l.-The Constitutional
Convention progresses slowly. Some points of
difference have been harmonized, but there are
others more prominent, such as appointments and
universal suffrage, upon which, it is thought, the
Convention will fail to agree. The Republicans
favor but one constitution, while the Democrats
are set upon submitting both, as best subscribing
the interests of the people. The Conventions
will probably agree upon day for the submission
of both to the people.

in getting out, and leaving a broadcloth coat,
which the heat induced him TO throw off, a

Americans. Messrs. A NJ. Morrison and James
Kent Stone, sons of Rev. DR.. Stone of Brookline,
Mass. They reached the top at eight o'clock in
the morning, and descended tine same day. Upon
their arrival at Chamounix, they were welcomed
by the firing of cannon and the strains of music,
the effect of which was greatly aided by some
heavy peals of thunder from storm which occur
red very opportunely."
The A. NJ. Morrison named above is Rev. Mr..
Morrison OF the Episcopal church in this city.

1.-The chief attraction of the week was Hon.
Arson Burlingame's address to the literary
societies Of the College, on Wednesday after
noon. His theme was-TLe Past and the
Present. After illustrating with great clear.
ness, fullness, and beauty, the fact and the
law OF progress the world over, he rei5iced
in the conviction that the present is better
than the past, and in the hope that the future
will be better than the present. AS dense an
audience as ever packed that house, filing
platform, and pews, and aisles, and galleries,
and vestibule, and every possible standing
spot, was riveted TO the lips of the eloquent
orator unto the end, and then burst forth
spontaneously, old and young alike, in loud
and long continued applause The magnetic
power OF his eloquence was triumphant, and
the welcome aud the plaudits which the ora
tor won, evidently went down deep into his
heart"

States at any period, has steadily diminished at
every census, from 10 per cent in 1870, to taoo
and halt per cent in 1850. The whole number

PoTATo RoT.--The Lancaster (Pa.) Times says;
q Our worst fears in regard to the potato rot are
likely to be realized. The late rains wonld seem
to have been the immediate cause. In proof of
this 1t may be stated that we have not heard Of
the crops being endangered in the higher ground,
the ravages being confined principally iu the val
leys. We hear complaints from many parts of
the county"
The Frederick (Md.) Union states that the po-
tato rot is making its appearance to pretty con.
siderable extent in that vicinity, and that the
loss to some Of the farmers, in consequence there
Of, will be quite heavy.
These cases Of the rot, we believe, are very linn
tied in extent, and are confined to particular To-
eaities, and often, we believe, to particular vari-
cites of the potato. The prevailing accounts
from aimostlall quarters are favorable for a great
crop Of this esculent, and, generally, is entire
" free from disease. The season is now SO far
advanced that little danger is apprehended from
tina. cause.
