that amount of small change, can leave
it at the Bank of Columbia, where he Is

supposed to have caught fire from some
dry wood which was left lying near the
stove. All the cooking vessels, stove
and number Of saddles, were lost by
the cOnnagratlOn. Inc Kitchen was
within about ten feet of the dwelling,
and would doubtless have set it on fire
but for tree that stood between, and the
stiffness of the atmosphere. The fire
was not discovered until just before it

lies-a kitten with one head, two bodies, each
supplied with the usual number of legs and
tails. The bodies begin to develop themselves
at the neck, and, with breast to breast, are in
perfect state of development at the navel, be-
hind which the bodies are entirely separate.
The hind quarters and tails of each are well
formed, and look pecfectly natural. This Gu
rious specimen of the feline race was found dead
upon the premises of Major George w. Jones,
who resides near this place. 1t can be seen at
the drug store of DIR. Cochran. s.
