DEATH OF TwNs."-A paragraph from a New
Bedford paper, in relation to the death of twins in
SWanSey, was incorrect in the statement that one of
them was found dead in bed, and that there was no
aSsgnable for his decease. His Illness though
OF snort duration was observable before his brothers
death, yet it was not thought to be serious until the
afternoon following some twelve hours before prov
ing fatal. 1t was treated as threatened attack of
fever, of which the brother died. but its character
was not then known or suspected by his attendants
or physician. A few hours preceding his death he
fell into deep sleep, from which all efforts to arouse
him proved Intellectual, and death ensued without
struggle. The condition and death of his brother
doubtless cause1 that depression Of mind which pro-
dqced congestion of the b-ain. Of which he died.
From their earlier years until of age these brothers
were. so alike in features and general appearance
that few persons out of the immediate family connce
tlons could distinguish one from the other. From
infancy to within a few years they were always to-
gether, rarely separated for day or night and their
habits manners, thoughts, feelings and tastes were
as much alike as is possible for two persons to be-
Under such circumstances it was not probable that
either would long survive the decease of the other
yet the occurrence is no less of an extraordinary
character.

Particulars of the Great Fire at st. Louis

Another destructive cOnfagration among steam
boats occurred this morning, which resulted in the
reduction of five elegant steamers to as many charred
and smoking hulls. The fire broke out between four
and five o'clock on the Nevada, lying at the levee.
" men hrst discovered it burning the starbOard
side OF the stern of that boat. Whence it came or
now 1t was kinded is at present unknown as there
had been nothing legitimate going to originate it,
The most intelligent opinion is that it was kindled
by an incendiary.
The watchman of the Nevada was first to discover
the hre and Immediately gave the alarm as extern
SlYely as he could, but it nearly half an hour
before the engines could arrive the spot and get to
work: In the meantime the flames swept through
the light frame upperwOrkS of the doomed boat
gathering strength andferceness every minute They
spread to the Frank Bates, lying alongside Just be-
low the Nevada, and the E1ie Deans, lying next be-
low the Frank Bates, and to the Amazon and fanny
Ogden. lying just above.
All these boats except the Fanny Ogden, burned
to the waters edge. The Fanny Ogden has the
whole of the upper works of her stern burned of,
and also the stern portion of her hull She is nearly
an entire wreck. Just below the Etfe Deans lay the
new steamer Lizzie Gill and the Ned Tracy, both
loaded with valuable cargoes and both exposed to
imminent peril from the flames, which were sweep
ing towards them. The Henry S. Turner and the
Nashville also were in similar condition. and their
destruction seemed inevitable but by the energetic
efforts OF their crews and officers aided by the op-
perfume assistance of loose boats in the harbOr all
four OF these dragged from the levee into the
stream, and escaped.

Remarkable Historx of a TO


General Maury's report of the defence Of Mobile
narrates the eyenful history of torpedo boat as fol-
lows:
1T was built of boiler IRON. was about thirtyfve
| feet long, and was manned by crew of nine men,
| eight OF whom worked the propeller by hand. The
ninth steered the boat and regulated her movements
below the surface of the water. She could be sub
merged at pleasure to any desired depth, could be
propelled upon the surface. In smooth, still water
| her movements were exactly controlled, and her
speed was about four knots. 1t was intended that
under her keel and drag floating torpedo which
would explode the side or bottom of the ship
attacked. tia;
hour without Inconvenience to her crew.
Soon after her arrival in Charleston, Lieutenant
Payne, of the Confederate navy with eight Others
volunteered to attack the Federal fleet with her.
While preparing for her expedition. the swell of a
passing steamer caused her to sink suddenly and all
hands, except Lieutenant Payne, who at the moment
was standing in the open hatchway, perished. She
was soon raised and again made ready for service.
Ileutenant Payne again volunteered to command
her. While lying near Fort Sumter, she capsi2ed
except her commander and two others.
Being again raised and prepared for action, Mr..
AunIey, one OF the constructors, made an expert
mental cruise in her in Cooper river. While sub
merged at great depth, from some unknown cause,
she became unmanageabe. and remained for many
dead men.
"A fou, tn time was the boat raised and Lieutenant
Dixon, of Mobile, of the 2lst volunteers, with eight
others, went out of Charleston harbOr in her and at
tackled and sunk the Federal steamer HouSatOnic.
Her mission at last accomplished she disappeared
fate, but it is believed they went down with the
enemy"
