New sIamese Twins.

The Aiken Is. C.) Courier Journal
says: "On the Goth of June last, col
ored twins were born on the farm of
Mr.. Joseph Ashley, near Lumbarton,
with a IigameRtary connection near
the stomach. One Of the twins has
neither eyes, nose, hands or feet, and
the only orifce answering for a
mouth is a perpendicular slit running
lengthwise of the face. 1T seems to
be perfectly dumb, and to receive
nourishment entirely from the other
child, who is well formed and healthy.
If the dumb child is touched the other
one feels 1t, and If asleep, immedi-
ately awakens. The perfectly formed
child as may be supposed, is a female,
while the dumb animal belongs to
the male persuasion. Quite an eX-
element Is created down in that re-
gion, and several enterprising Bar
nuns have already appeared upon
the scene, and made extravagant

There are many strange ceremonies
still kept up at Oxford, ceremonies
which have been rigidly observed for
more than four centuries. 1t is the GUS
tom at the Queens College, every Christ
mas day, for boar's head to be served
up in the Hall, after being introduced in
grand procession, with a Latin song of
Years morning the bursar OF the same
college presents the students with a
needle and thread, colored red, yellow
and blue, for the three faculties, law,
medicine and divinity, with the words,
stake this and be thrifty" One of the
most interesting of these college cere-
monies is the May day service perform
ed ON the tower of Magdalen College.
Every May day morning, at about hall
past four, the choristers-habited in their
surplices and accompanied by kmem-
bers OF the college and visitors-ascend
to the platform Of the lofty tower, where
they range themselves with their faces
toward the east, and at.the stroke oftive
they sing a Latin hymn; at the cOnclu.
sion of the hymn the singers hasten to
the belfry, ana the bells ring out q Joyful
peal; then long ramble IL taken into
the fields and gardens along the river
side, alter which they all return to the
college laden with c0wslips, buttercups
and daisies. Merton claims the honor
Of being one of the oldest colleges in Ok
lord, having been founded in 1204. On the
walls of the dining hall-which is one OF
the largest in the university-are life
size portraits of its founder. The origI-
nal massive oak doors, with iron mount
ings, are still retained. Great oaken ta-
bles extend down the center of the hall,
for the students, and on dais at one
end, there are smaller tables tor the mas
ters. 1t is the custom when dinner is
ended each day for the "senior fellow"
to strike the table three times with a
trencher. The strokes are answered by
the butler, who enters in his book how
much each person has received of the
buttery supplies. The ''graee cup" is
then passed around, and at another
stroke of the trencher the Bible clerk
makes his appearance to say grace. A
fine avenue of elns-named the Broad
Walk-leads from the college to u de-
ligntful, shaded, riverwalk, which sur
rounds a large meadow; and is more
than mile and u half in length, and
here a promedade is held annually, in
June, on the Sunday preceding the
"commemoratlon," known among the
collegians as "Show Sunday"
