The celebrated Siamese twins, Chang and
Eng, died at Mt. Airy, n c., on Saturday
morning last. Chang died first and Eng
about two hours afterward. The Twins were
united at the anterior part Of the chest by a
prolongation of kind of fleshy band the
size of the hand--the band of flesh about
two inches broad and four inches thick, the
whole mass tough and capable of being con-
siderably extended. One could whisper In
the ear Of one of them without the other
hearing, and volatile salts applied to the
ncstrils of one had no effect ON the other !;
and while pinching tho arm Of one ex tied no
sensation in the other, still, if you but stuck
q pin in the exact vertical centre of this
connecting link both would finch from the
hurt. The Twins were seldom observed to
converse with each other. They played good
game Of draughts, made pretty much the
same moves, and at the same time, and fire.
quently played against each other. After at
tracing vast amount Of attention among
scientists and psychologists in the old world,
they married two sisters, and settled down
near Salisbury, N. c., on wcl-stocked plan
tation.

STATE TREAsURER.-N. w. Voorhees,, of
this county, is a candidate for State Treas
urcr. We hope he may be chosen He is
thoroughly competent for the position, and
will do credit to the party. The present
Treasurer has had the office for the usual
term, and there is no reason why he should
not step aside. We believe the interests of
the State, as well as of the Republican party,
unless the people are very anxious that the
present Treasurer should hold over (Which is
not the case), we cannot see that he has any
claim for disappointment.

FIRE AT PENNINGT0N-PREsBY
CHURCH BURSED.--On last Sunday the Pres
bvterian Church at Pennington was totally
destroyed by fire. 1t cost originally about
$4,000. There had been no insurance on the
building for some years past consequently
the loss is total. The building was large one,
and handsomely finished and of Gothic ar
chtecture The origin of the fire was from a
defeetve tiuc. 1t broke out in the roof, in
the boards between the slate roof and the
ceiling. The church was heated by stoves in
the basement, and the pipe was run up to the
roof. 1t broke out about ten minutes after IL
o'clock. The congregation had just left but
on the, alarm being given they all returned,
and NTH the citizens of the place made every
effort in the old fashioned way Of the use of
buckets, to put out the fire. There is no fire
apparatus in Pennington. The wind blew
northwest, which carried the heavy cinders
over the graveyard and over Mr.. Charles
Fish's orchard. Had the wind been in the
other direction the town of Pennington, and
probably the schools, would have been destroy
ed. The stceple fell into the graveyard. The
bell, which weighs 90S pounds, was broken in
the fall. The melodeon was gotten out but
the Sunday School library, the seats and mat
ting we're consumed. Some of the carpet
about the pulpit was saved. There is wealth
enough in the congregation to put up new
building, which will no doubt be decided up
ON at once The people of Pennington and
the surrounding country express great deal
of sympathy for the sufferers. The Methodists
have offered their church as place OF wor-
ship, to be occupied alternately with them
selves. $50 44lf

| HUNTERDoN Co. ADMINISTRATION read
ers may remember that last winter an agent
came through this city and thoroughly can
vassed it for company who proposed to pub
lish an Atlas of Hnnterlon County with all
its towns and villages, roads, streams, &C.,
contracting to designate every property in the
city in its proper place, with the name of the
owner attached, and many other good things
in connection Herewith, and deliver the same
in a reasonable time after the subscriptions
were received. 1t appears that some of our
citizens were not satisfied with the books,
when they came to be delivered, on account
of the inaccuracies contained therein, and re-
fused to receive them. The agent of the work,
a Mr.. Leavitt, commenced suit against Joseph
H. Boozer and Joseph Akers, before Esq.
Durham of Pennington. There had been
one adjournment i'll the case, and some misun-
Outstanding arose about the time of trial.
The parties agreed to withdraw the suit and
refer it to any Justice of the Peace in the
county. The matter was then by mutual
consent heard and determined before ].
Hayhurst, Esquire, of the city of Lambert
vile, on Monday the 26th inst, at o'clock
in the afternoon.
At the time and place above mentioned the
parties appeared. Mr.. Boozer's case was ar
gued, the inaccuracies were pointed out and
the whole matter fully investigated. The
Justice decided that the publishers had
made so many omissions and mistakes, that
the contract was vitiated, and that the de-
PENDANT was not obliged to receive the atlas.
Mr.. Aker's case resting upon the same
grounds was without further argument deci-
ded in the same way.
Previous to the above, Mr.. Gervas Ely, of
this city, had an action brought against him,
by the same map publishers fora similar cause,
which was decided in his favor by jury.
Another case of the same kind, referred to
a justice of the peace in the upper part of our
county, was decided in favor of the map pub
fishers, and still another justice decided in a
similar case in favor of the defendant

Nav Jersey CENTENNIAL TEA PARTY At
TRENTON. William L. Dayton having
accepted the appointment as Manager OF the
Ladies' Centennial Organization of New
Jersey, with Mrs. John Stevens. Assistant,
Mrs. Rossel, Treasurer, and Miss A. Aiinson,
Secretary arrangements are in progress for a
series of "Tea Party Entertainments y
throughout the State. The first of these
will be held in Trenton, on "Wednesday even
ing, the 25th of February, for which occasion
both the Opera and Assembly saloons OF
Taylor Hall have been engaged. The par
ouette of the Opera House will be floored
level with the stage, the scenery removed, and
the space thus materially augmented. All
parts of the house will be handsomely and
appropriately decorated. There will be
thirteen tables in each department, cores
ponding in number and called after the
thirteen original States. Ladies, representing
as far as possible the different sections and
interests of the city, have accepted the charge
of these tables. These are all married ladies,
each of whom will be attended by four young
lady assistants, and all costumed after the
style of the Revolutionary period. 1t is also
expected that many other young ladies in the
audience will be costumed after yc olden
time, and that the gentlemen, not to be out
done in this respect will likewise endeavor to
impress the audience and themselves with the
belief that the hand OH the dial of Time has
been turned back hundred years. The
largest table in the Opera House, representing
New Jersey, will be devoted to the display of
many Revolutionary relics, under the super
intendence of Mrs. Dayton and Mrs. Stevens.
Near this will be erected the identical arch
under which General Washington rode when
making his triumphant entry into Trenton.
Besides tea, other edibles in profusion will
be supplied on the OCCASION The tea-cups,
elegantly embellished with the arms of the
State, and the saucers, bearing the inscription,
"New Jersey, the Battle Field of the Revo-
lution.o will be from the mandatory of the
Messrs. Moses, in Trenton, and disposed of
with the tea. Governor Parker is to preside,
and briefly address the Tea Party and
Young ladies, scattering flowers under the
arch, will sing the ode of the period:
