correct TO say, tho two girls in

speak ofthem in The plural. They
arc entirely distinct, as far AS mind
is concerned, laughing and chatting
with each other, and being ap-
pareutly upon tho most intimate
terms, aud one may have head
ach or cold without tho other
being affected, but any fever, or
other serious disease, affects both
equally. Their bodies are separate
from the small ofthe back up, each
having a perfectly formed bust
and head, two arms, &C., and caoh
has two legs, but thorc is only ono
trunk. Both arc remarkably in.
Tell gent, reading aud writing with
cssc, while their manners arc re-
hned. In quito IL lengthy con-
vcr>ation, they did not make a
single grammatical error, and their
language was unusually sclcet.
Upon questioning them as to thcir
education. they replied that they

Ncwberry is, and has been for

our midland and np-country towns

gagged, Newherry bids fairto carry
off the cup. Her population is
about 1000 now, perhaps fifty per

which ntimber 1865 were slaves.

Ihc merchants tell me that before
the war Ncwberry Courthouse
shipped from 5000 to 20.0l0
bales. Last year tho amount was
prnhabsy $4,000, end this year it
may not rcncn over II, 600. There
is, however, much more money in
the district this year thnn there

that loyalists should he paid for the pro-
perty taken or destroyed by the Union
army. 1t is probable, however, that the
Sue Murphy case will be recommitted for
want Of proof Of loyalty. The claim ag-
gregates $1,000, accruing from the destruc-
tion of buildings and improvements on her
farm. Miss Murphy was sixteen years of
age Mt the opening of the war, and is now
possibly twenty-four. Her family were
rebellious, and her only claim to loyalty
was kindness to the Federal soldiers after
the occupation. She fed them and was
kind to their sick. Beyond this, she seems
to have no war record whatever. This case
may serve as specimen of the kind of
loyalty required to secure compensation for
property used by the Federal army through
out the South, and may guard parties
against spending money, time, or hope in
pushing similar claims.

"Why should American sell, as a rule, at
much less money than Canadian Simply be-
cause the former rarely finds its way direct
from the miller to the British consumer-is
perhaps months knocking about in the stores
of United States seaports, and consequently
cannot compare In eXcelleIcy of condition
with the Canadian. The very freshness of the
barrel seems finish to the -four, and the Ca
nadians brand with legiole care and special
significance as TO address. so that wherever
that quality finds favor that miller is adver-
tised by it to his very home. Thus particular
brands get called for, and every miller pos
sesses within himself the means of founding
European reputation of more value than
even IN American one, with the power OF put
