From the Bostes Post, July 10.
We mentioned in our columns, yester-
day, the presence in Boston Of most
remarkable child. the offspring Of joseph
and Ann E. Finley. 1t presented the
remarkable as we'll as unprecedented
phenomenon of two heads, four arms and
two legs, and all upon a single body
The girl for such was its sex-died last
evening at No. 6 Bowdoin street. The
first half or head breathed its last at FIVE,
and the other shortly after eight o'clock.
The many thousands in the Western and
Middle States who have seen this mar
vrlous eccentricity of nature, Will learn
its early death with regret. The child
had enjoyed excellent health from her
birth, nine months ago, until within two
weeks, at which time one exhibited signs
of illness. This, however, was but tenn
porary. 1t recovered, and was bright
and playful. Since reaching Boston. a
few days since, the other-or the other
half-was taken sick and died yesterday
afternoon, as above stated. The two por-
tions of the body are SO intimately con-
nected that the death of one rendered
the death of the other inevitable. The
spectacle was equally novel, 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
lungs in full breathing order. All that
medical aid could accomplish was done.
but it was found unavailing. The child
died in the presence of its parents The
corpse presents the 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 the
physicians were desirous last evening of
having it opened for examination. 1t is
doubtful if the parents consent. They
reside in Monroe county, Ohio, and live
upon farm. They have other children,
but none have exhibited any unusual
developments. Nor can this extraordi-
nary 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 amazement and interest, but
all attempts to account for its existence
were futile. 1t is regarded as more of
curiosity than the Siamese twins, and
most certainly the spectacle was more
pleasurable to the eye The child was
shortly to have been exhibited to the
public, and would doubtless here as else
where, have attracted throng4 of visitors
The parents were especially devoted to
the little marvel, and their sorrow is
grieveous

THE ALARM OUTSIDE.

1t was some time after the first
cry of fire in the building before
there was any alarm outside-in fact
John Cooley, who came down the
street about this time and went into
a restaurant near by, informs US that
he could see no sign of fire in the
direction ofthe Spottgwood, although
he heard the cry. Subsequently he
came out with John Jackson the pro
prietor of the restaurant, and found
that the SpottsWood was on fire.
He does not think that fifteen min
utes elapsed before the entire build
ing was in 8 blaze, the flames reach
ing with a resistless grasp for the
Grant building adjoining and lower
down on Main street. This was IA
cilitated by the wind, which was
blowing in that direction.

The sherman Psdirreo.

In his speech at t1s Forstathers'
dinner in New York on the 22d Of
December, Gen. W. I. Sherman
made the following statement Of the
history of his family:
1 first doubted whether 1 had a
eight to come here tonight; whether
was liable to membership or asso-
citation with men who claim Plym-
outh Rock, or Massachusetts, or
New England as their home. Gen
tlemen, my father and mother were
New England born. (Cheers). I
learned from books alone, that in
1884, fourteen years after the Pill
grim fathers landed at Plymouth
Rock, three persons of the name Of
Sherman reached Boston coast.
{ Applause. Rev. John Sherman,
his cousin John Sherman and the
O other cousin settled at Watertown,
NJ ass, and it is related by Rev. John
Sh,Tnan that he preached a sermon
und er a tree there. Samuel Sherman
a Young man about IA years Of age,
and adventurous, emigrated to Con-
necticut. Samuel Sherman was the
of my branch of that fsmi-
lv, and settled at Stratford, Connec-
ticut, and lived there 20 years after
his home. Hemarried and
had children, and his second son.
John Sherman adopted the legal
profession. Laughter. That John
Sherman had another son John, who
had son Daniel Sherman, man Of
note in his day. a eotemporary Of
Rogers, and a member Of the coun-
Gil of safety snd the Legislative As
sembly. His youngest child Taylor
Sherman, settled at Norwood, Con-
necticut, vas jndge Of the probate
court, and was one of those who lost
property by Arnold's descent upon
the coast Of Connecticut He also
was one of those who inherited part
of the land. which the State of Con-
necticut donated in the western re-
serve, and was one Of those who
went to the West to arrange a treaty
with the Indians. In 1908 he re-
turned to Connecticut. He went
out again in 1909 and made a parti-
tiOn of the fre-lands. His son, nv
father, then young man Of twenty
years, married Mary Holt or Nor
wood, Ct. in 1910, and their families
still live there. Ny father went to
Lowcastle, Ohio, followed by my
mother and her child, on horseback.
The child was my brother, Judge
Charles Sherman Of Ohio. I was
the sixth child. Our father died
and left us all very bare. Laugh
ter. Gentlemen, the Shermans are
numerous family, and 1 may safely
assert that they all obeyed the di-
vine commandment-they went forth,
increased and multiplied Tlaughter1,
and 1 hope they have done their
share toward replenishing to earth.
Laughter.
