Death OF the Siamese Twins.

The Siamese twins, Chang and Eng
died at their residence in North Carolina
On the l7th inst. They were about sixty
three years of age, having been born in
Siam in 1911. Their parents were
Chinese. They were brought to this
country in 1920, and attracted great at.
tention both in America and Europe
which they afterward visited, from the
fact that they had been united from theiI
birth by Q fieshy band uniting the lower
end of their breast bones. They seem al
first to have stood face to face, but by
constant effort 1t had become so turned
that they could stand nearly side by side
The band, which was two or three inches
long and about an inch and half thick
was covered with skin, and sensitive. Il
touched in the middle, both felt It,
Otherwise the sensitiveness only ex-
tended to the one nearest the point at
fected. The twins were usually very
affectionato and sympathetic, though
they quarreled occasionally. Physicians
differed as to the possibility of their being
cut apart without destroying their lives,
but 1t was the better opinion that the
separation could safely be effected. They
refused, however, to allow the operation
to be performed. They made respecta-
BILE fortune by exhibiting themselves, and
settled In North Carolina, where they
married two sisters. Each had numer-
GUS of, ,pring. They found itimpossible ia
preserve harmony between the wives
hence they had separate households, each
livingwith his wife for week alternately
They lost their slaves, and were other
wise Impoverished by the war OF the re-
bellion, and again exhibited themselves
In this city they appeared at Mozart Hall.
: six or seven years ago. The two colored
sisters, Molly and and phrissy, known az
the "twO headed girl" from the faci
that their bodies were united. were ex'
hibited at the same time. AT this time
the twins were gray haired, ana thell
yellow mOngrel skin was dry and with
cred. Several of their chill lren accompa

ITEMS FROM GRAND RAPIDS

GRAND RAPIDS, Jan. %, 1874
ED. Journal The people Of our vii
lage was startled yesterday afternoon by
the painful intelligence that little Henry
Kcchley, (only child of Martin Kechley,
proprietor Of the tannery) had fallen into
vat and was crowned before discovered.
1t is presumed that in passing near the
vat he slipped on some ice that had ae.
cumulated by the removal ofsome hides
and was thus precipitated into wattery
grave. He was missed only few min
utes and was discovered by seeing little
wagon, which he had been hauling
around, at the edge of the vat, but life
was extinct and could not be recalled.
Henry was about years of age and a
very smart and robust little lad, general
favorite with ali. He was a r. gular
attendant at Sunday school. The stroS e
will fall heavily on Mr.. Kechl y, as he
buried his fither about a month ago.
We trust they will recognize the hand OF
"Him who doeth all things well," and
consider their dear child as but gone be-
f)re TO induce them TO tO!loW atter, and
pleasing is the thought, that. they may
again see their darling boy.
A sad ARRAY occurred last Saturday eve
about miles south of here, near Mlr.
docks School House, in which a Nc
Hatch was stabbed to death by Mr.
Lewis. We have learned, from one who
was present at the trial, that it was jus
tifable on the part of Lewis. as he va
acting in defence Of his life. He wa
bound over in the sum of 5000, which
falling to obtain, he was taken to Napo
leon and placed in Jail. What sad end

often end in.

A Correction.

Several papers in this District publish
ed list OF names, purporting to be a cor
rect list of the Ohio members who voted
for the $4,000 Salary Bill. 1t having
proved totally incorrect, the Wsuseon
Republican makes this reference to 1t:
"The statement was published about
the time Congress adjourned, for the hol-
idays, that certain of our Ohio members
of Congress including the member from
this distrlct-Gen. Sherw )od, together
with Garfield, Parsons and others, voted
for the salary substitute Bill, making the
salary of members of Congress $1,000,
We corrected the statement in our last
issue, but as some opposition papers are
still publishing the falsity we again refer
to the matter. The facts are, as the Con.
gressional Record shows, that neither
CAM Id, Sherwood, Parsons, or Smith
voted for the $4,000 Bill; and Sherwood
voted every time 70 repeal the entire sal
airy bill, for all officers not barred by the
Constitution.
We trust those journals which have In
correctly given the vote of our members
will make the proper correction"
