DEATH OF TIE DOUBLE BABK
: One Head Outliyes the Other
rErom the Boston Post, July 19.l

We mentioned In. our columns, yesterday,
the presence frs Boston OF most remarka0ie
child, the offspring Of Joseph and ANNE: Fin
lev. It presented the remarkable as WeuSas
unprecedented phenomenon OF TWO neads,
four arms, and two legs, and all upon single
lasf. evening at No! g Bowdoin street. The
first half or head breathed Its last at 5, and the
second shortly after o'clock. The many
ith0ussnds In the Western or Middle States
who have seen this marvellous eccentrtcity OF
nature will learn its. early death with regret.
The child-or children as 1t would almost seem
proper to allude 10 the! phenomen non-had en-
months ago, until within two weeks, at
which time one exhibited signs OF Illness.
This, however, was but temporary. It recover
ed and was bright and playful. Since reach.
ing Boston,.a fey days since, the other-or
tue other haf-was taken sick and died yester-
day afternoon, as already stated. The TWO
portions of the body were so Intimately con,
nected that the death Of one rendered tnat o.
the other inevitable. The spectacle. was equal
ly.noyel, strange, and unparalleled: Upon
one end of the body reposed the head OF The
dead infant; upon the other that OF the live one
with its eyes still bright and curious, and its
lungs In full breathing order. all that medi-
cal aid could accomplish was done, buG1G was
found unayalling.f, The child died In the pres
ence OF Its parents. Ine corpse presents tne
appearance of two infants asleep. Apparently
they escaped the ordinary suffering incident to
death, for the countenances had the expression
of repose. The disposition Of the body Is not
determined upon. Several of our physicians
were desirous, last evening, ofhaving it open
ed for examination. It is doubtful If the
parents consent. They reside In Monroe
County, Ohio, and live upon o farm. They
have. other children, but none have exhibi
any unusual developments. Nor can this ex-
traordinary departure from the laws of nature
be accounted for. In Philadelphia, where all
the medical Solons undertook to solve the
problem. nothing whatever was brought to
light. The child was looked upon with amaze
ment and interest, but oil attempts to account
for its existence were futile. ills regarded OF
more OF curiosity than the Slamese twins
The parents were especially devoted to the
little marvel, and their sorrow Is grieVous.

The conduct OF the Greenvllle Railroad pro-
