in the county of Westmoreland, aud was
informed that his room was prefera bic to his
company.
This condition of things is unfortunate,
to say the least, but it becomes one and

following:
"On the 18th Of Sept. last, a child was

seemed as nearly perfect as that of an in
FAINT usually-the second, or unnatural head,
was connected by neck OF about the usual
length and size, to the back or poSterior part
of the first one, 4 little above the point where
the head and neck naturally JOIN. Both
heads were Of about the same size and facing
opposite ways. Hair grew perfectly natnra!
on both scalps. but the second head was entire
" wanting in fcatureS-there were a few
small irregularities where the face or feature.
should have been. appearing rs if nature had
attempted to form features, but with sue
cess. The health Of the child seemed
good, and it grew well until the 18th OF the
present, month, (Oct.) when the unnatural
head was successfully amputated at the neck,
by DR.. J. c. Manson OF Pitsfed; Il dissection
of this showed the skull to be composed OF
bone, and cartilage; also what should have
been bone IN the neck proved to be cartilage.
The head contained a substance almost per
fectly resembling brain, hut OF less density
1t hns now been some five days since the
operation, and the child is fast recovering.
