The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1869-12-14
From the Carlisle Kyl Mercury
The Most Remarkable Father and
Son.

A most remarkable case of consan-
guineous affection and sympathy is that
of a father and son, living in the adjoin-
ing county of Fleming The father is
about forty five years of age and the son
not yet twenty. When one has any COM
plant the other is similarly affected. If
the father has the headache, the son has
it at the same time; if one suffers with a
toothache, the other also suffers with it !;
when one gets a cold, the other gets it
also; and so it goes on through all the
catalogue Of ordinary complaints. But
yet ihore remarkable still is the similar
ity of their appetites, temperaments: and
general actions. What one likes and
eats, the other likes and eats and what
one dislikes and wont eat, the other dis
likes and wont eat If one becomes an
gry,or gloomy, or happy,to the same de
gree and at the same timeis the other an
gry,or gloomy, or happy. They sneezc at
the same time, sleep at Ithe same time
and the same number of hours, and the
most remarkable ofall, they dream at the
same time and the dream OF one is the
same as that of the other We might go
OH and enumerate many other instances
of the relationship existing between this
father and son, though the above arc
sufficient as showing how strange and
remarkable thai relationship is. ~

Rs-Look well to your stack yards, and
especially the tops of your stacks. Some
unfriendly current of air may have dis
arranged the covering put on with care
ful hands in August If SO, the matter
should receive immediate and, thorough
attention. See that every change for
loss or waste of the fodder #liith has
been gathered for the cattle be guarded
against. 1t will be all needed before an
other spring, and whether it is needed
or not, waste is objectionable, always,
everywhere, and in the least as well as
the largest things.
