Az UNEXPECTED MEETISo.-On the esd

steamer Anglo-Saxon, and took lodgings at
one OF the city hotels. Next morning he
took the cars for this city, in company with
a gentleman who had remained at the same
house withhim over night, with whose counte-
nance he, somehow or other, imagined him
self familiar. They got into conversation in
coming down the Eastern railroad, but moth
ing transpired to elicit the fact whether or
not they had been old acquaintance. When
they arrived at the depot, and had attended
70 their luggage. one Of the gentlemen inquir-
ed IN the hearing Of the other for a cab TO
take him TO certain street in Charlestown.
The other said he proposed going to the same
street; and the two engaged the same con-
seyance. On arriving at the street in ques-
tion, II appeared that they both designed to
call on the same individual. This strange
series Of condolences greatly puzzled both !;
but their mutual surprise and delight can be
imagined but in degree, when they found
that they were brothers, and that they had
thus singularly met at the house of a third
brother. One Of them had been in the SER
vice Of the Pacha Of Egypt for twenty-five

Mr.. Samuel Sites, Of this place, gave birth
eight days ago, to four living children Joined
together by pairs in still more peculiar man
ner than the siamese Twins. The two bows
are connected at the shoulder, and from the
hip TO the knee joint, leaving the lower Joint
Of the legs and the feet Of each perfectly free.
The girls are joined at the shoulder with this
difference from the boys: that they have but
one arm issuing from the junction Of their
shoulders. They are joined from the hip
down to she foot-the two legs ending in one
foot.
In regard to the color of the children, ma.
ture seems to have been quite as eccentric as
IN their formation, one Of the boys being
black and the other as white as the child Of

all seem to be perfectly healthy, and the
