A wo.aerr.l ssery Of Twins.

The Blue Ridge IN. Co. Blade says
The wife of Mr.. Joseph Whisenhunt,
of Burke county, gave birth to twins
the last night of the old year-one
was born ten minutes before twelve
and the other ten minutes after IL.
So one was born on Friday and the
other on Saturday, one in 1875 and
the other in 1876. Their birthday il
not the same, yet they are twins. We
doubt if such thing ever occurred
before in the history of the world
Another notable circumstance is that
one was q boy and the other a girl
the boy was boru in the old year and
the girl in this-leap year. If the boy
should prove q gifted writer and
amuse the reading world with story
after the style of "Tristram Shandy,'
the opening chapter would be pecu'
liarly interesting.

sr. PATRlCK,s DAY.

The 18th of March is celebrated in
all large cities all over the civilized
world, wherever there are Irish, as
st. Patrick's day. From Chambers
Encyclopedia we condense the fol-
lowing in relation to st. Patrick, who
was distinguished missionary and
commonly known as the Apostle of
Ireland. The year of his birth is va
riously assigned to the years 377 and
1877 of which the latter if not even a
later date is more probable. In his
10Th year he was seized while at his
fathers farm by a band Of pirates and
with a number Of others, carried to
Ireland and sold to a petty chief
whom he served six years before he
effected his escape, and went to
France where he became a monk, first
at Tours, and afterwards in the cele-
brated monastery at Lerins.
In the year 43l he went to Rome.
whence he was sent by Pope Celes-
tine to preach in Ireland. His mis-
sion was emincntly successful. He
adopted the expedient of addressing
himself first to the chiefs and of inn
proving as far as possible the spirit
of clanship and other existing usages
of the Irish, for the furtherance OF
his preaching. He had great success
in outstanding the ancient Irish
system of belief and practice. He
visited large portion Of the king
dom, and according to the accounts
of his Irish biographers, founded 1865
churches and baptized with his own
hand 1900 people. He also ordain-
ed vast number of priests. He is
said to have fixed his see at Armaugh
about the year 454. He died at a
place called Saul, near Downpatrick,
AID his relics were preserved down
to the period of the Reformation.
The date of his death is much disput-
ed, but it supposed to have occurred
in 493 which would place him at the
time Of his death at 1l6 years of age.

The Democrats elected nearly their
whole ticket in Ottumwa through the
temperance vote. The so-called tenn
pcrance men made what they thought
was big fight, and polled l35 votes
out of l204, or little over one in ten.
Their vote given to the Republicans,
where ii belonged, would have elect
cd the entire city ticket, and all but
one councilman, but thrown away on
a temperance ticket it elected a
straight out whisky ticket. This is
nearly always the result Of these third
party shoots OH temperance, breaking
the backs of their friends.-Oskal0osa

CRUEL.-Yesterday evening horse
i'm the team Of the American Express
Company, fell down at the corner OF
Second and Market street, apparently
in q fit. The driver at first coaxel
him to get up, which he would not OF
could not do; then he whipped hin
until he staggered to his feet, but h,
only remained standing an instant
when he again fell upon his side lik,
he had been shot. The facts, as W,
learn them, are that the horse wa
worn out--dead beat; that he ha
been ailing for some time, and wa
unfit for work. 1t seems to lis tha
the Express Company is rich enough
and ought to be humane enough Il
prevent such inhuman treatment o
dumb animals, and if they arc not
they should be restrained from sucl
cruelty by law. The poor dumb brut'
had pulled his last load, and diet
where he fell, but he was faithful Il
the last breath. There is too much o
this inhnmanity practiced in this, a
well as every other community.
