Sudden Death of the siamese Twins.

IN DEATH THEY wRRR NOT DIVIDED.
INV YORK, January 20. "A dispatch from
Richmond says a dispatch from Greensboro,
y. G., gives the announcement of the sudden
death of the Siamese Twins on Saturday morn
ing last, at their residence at Mount Airy, Sur
rey county, n. c. There are no details further
than the fact that Chang was paralized last
fall, since which time he has been fretful, very
much debilitated, and strongly addicted 10
drinking liquor as means of alleviating his
sufferiDgs. He had been quite feeble for several
days; indeed, SO much so as TO conine both
brothers to their bed, but his illness was not so
great as to cause any anticipation OF the catss-
trophe that was TO follow. On Friday night
they retired to bed as usual, but during the
night Chang became worse, and expired sud-
denly about four O'Clock Saturday morning.
As soon as il was discovered he was dead, Eng
became so terribly shocked that he raved
wildly, and for awhile at times exhibiting signs
of great mental ALTERATION. This attack was
followed by what seemed to be deadly stupor.
In two hours, il is supposed, from the death of
Chang, Eng breathed his last.

POSTAL IsTEREsrs IN CoNsREss.-The
House Committee on Post 0fices and Post
Roads this morning decided that the benefits OF
the free delivery Of letters by carriers should
not extend to cities having less. than twenty
thousand Inhabitants.
They agreed 10 q resolution explaining a
previous act OF Congress, which has been con-
strued by the law officers of the Post Office de-
partment in q manner which would work to
the detriment of the government. 1t appears
that the Solicitor OF the Post Office depart ment
and decided that locks, postal cards, and stamps
should be classed as stationery, and that under
an act Of Congress contracts can only be made
for one year. This the Postmaster General
stated would work to his disadvantage in the
supply Of postal cards and locks. The commit
tee will present 10 the House O resolution ex-
planatory of the intent of the law, which will
provide that such articles as fluctuate In price
shall be contracted for by the year, but for ar
tcles Of postal expenditure, in which the gov
eminent alone is the dealer, contracts can be
made for such periods as in the Judgment Of the
Postmaster General he desires for the best in
terests of the service.
The committee will probably report the
amended bill for the limited restoration of the
Thanking privilege to-day, the full provisions OF
which have been heretofore noticed in The
