A PHILADELPHIA paper of the 9th /
inst, speaks of the bringing of the
bodies OF the ..Siauese Twins to Phil |
adelphia, as follows;
DIR. William Ii. Pancoast, of the
Jefferson Medical College; DIR. Harri-
sol Allen, of the University of Peun-
sylvania, and DR.. T II. Andre eEs, also
of the FIRST named institution, who, in
company with few other gentlemen of
the medical profession, composed the
IepTthtuNdtists ts Ol eHS NoA''SiS|'Oh VI
Philadelphia physicians to make an au-
topsy of the bodies of the deceased
Siamese twins, Chang and Eng, and
who journeyed to their late residence
Mount Airy, North Carolina, returned
hons yesterday afternoon. As a re-
suit Of their labors the doctors an
nounced that for want Of sufficient ac-
commod ations, and the forward state Of
decomposition of the bodies, it was i'm
possible to make the desired examina-
ton. and that 10 make a thorough au-
topsy it became necessary to subject
them 10 the process of enbalming.
y consultation was held with the
widows Of the twins and their consent
obtained to allow the bodies to be
brought to this city for the purpose OF
solving the mystery of that link which
held these two beings so closely. An
agreement was drawn up between the
ladies and the doctors, the purport of
which was to the effect that the physi-
cIans will be held severaliy responsible
for the safety Of the bodies and their
proper mterment, and that no unneces-
sary mutilation of The same be allowed
The bodies of Chang and Eng ar
rived in this city late last night, and
were conveyed to the College, of Physi-
clans, at Thirteenth aud Locust streets.
They will remain there for few days,
until the embal ming fluids have perme-
a:ed the veins of the bodies, and rem
dered decomposition almost impossible.

Of the 9th inst. SAYS: : From street ru-
mors tod BY persons who had been in
Bedford and reported by others, We get
the following particulars Of the most
daring robbery ever perpetrated in this
county. Mr.. Hugh g. Wertz, bach
elor and veH-to do farmer, with his
maiden sister, is living on fine prop
erty about two miles from Mann's
Choice. On Saturday evening, shortly
after dark, they were startled by foot
steps on the porch, and almost lmme-
diately thereafter four persons came
into the room. Mr.. Wertz noticed that
the leader had club, ard almost in
stantly received blow over the head
The blow was not enough to strike him
senseiess, aud compreheuding the situ-
alton he al once grappled with his an
tagonist, wrenched the club from bIm,
and, with a welidirected blow, sent
him over the stove. The three others
came TO the rescue of their companion
aud in a short time overposered Mr.
Mr.. Wertz, and bound him and his sis
ter, when they 1T once commenced ran
sacking the house.
They had satchels and deposited ev-
erythiug of value that they could find
in them. In the struggle Mr.. WerrZ
saw that they were white men with only
their fae,s and hands biackened. After
they left the house, Miss Wertz, man
aged to get loose aud at once loosened
her brother, and both started for a
neighbor's house, but were seen by the
robbers, driven back to the house and
again bound. On loosening themselves
the second time. they succeeded in
giving the alarm, bu. nothing could
be found Of the perpetrators of the
deed. About $1,000 ID gold, silver
and Government toBis were taken.
-Four men on three horses are reported
to have been seen passing through Cen
trevilte early on Sunday morning, and
lbi SIS were
valley on the same night. No doubt
they were the same party on their way
to Cumberland. Mr.. Wertz offers
three hundred dollars for their arrest.
