LUSUS NATURE.

There was recently born in this county a
pair twins, who, had they lived, would have
been greater curiosity and more puzzling
question to Psychologists than the famous
Siamese twins. On the 18th instant, white
lady, living about ~ miles from Yorkvile,
gave birth to female twins, who were connect
ed by band or continuation of the skin, ex-
tending from the breast to the pelvis. On ae-
count of the narrow width of the band, the
infants we're drawn in position face.to.face.
They were both unusually large, and were
otherwise perfectly developed One was still
born, and the other lived about an hour after
birth. The mother of these singular twins
has been married several years and borne
children, all of whom are bright, and we'll
developed, and distinguishable by no pecu-
liarity.

The harvesting of wheat has already com.

cut Monday and Tuesday. We learn that
farmer in the Clay Hill section cut bis wheat

which boasted of new wheat on the 20th.
We have not learned how the crop in this

John Wallace and Pinckney Caldwell, who

who was pardoned at the same time, obtained
employment in New York, where he decided
to remain. These men were incarcerated in
1872, under sentence of ten years, each, for
alleged ku.klux offences, and though they
could have been pardoned at much earlier
date, without detriment to the public welfare,

bachelors What shall we say about them ?
We can neither define nor decline them. We
never know where they are and if in any
case at all, we'll name it the "gone case" for
we are told all these old, condemned animals
want Pullets!
As for the young ladies, their domestic
qualities and good looks, it's no use to blow
about them now-they are nearly all taken.
The continued demand for them proves more
than we can say. Only few left, and they
are doubtless promised.
Now the last but by no means the least Of
our accomplishments comes into our mind in
the shape Of well.regulated school, with its
number of gleeful children, and its very ef-
fcient teacher, laboring to dispel the clouds
of ignorance and teach the "young idea bow
to shoot" Education is an object of the
first Importance to every individual, and we
sympathize freely with all sections debarred
tue wholesome privileges of such an institu-
ton. Here is the cradle of liberty-Truth,
Justice, Selfgovernment! Tear it down, and
the glory and grandeur of the greatest ma
tions vanish as vapor before the morning
sun.
All in all, old Blairsvile is happy place,
and its citizens are wide awake, to the man.
The spirit of emulation has laid hold upon
us-the one trying to outdo the other in
goodness and usefulness And if not over
taken by the sad fate Of "Mother Frog" in
the meadow, we will grow we will increase
We will swell, till all who 90 and come, will
know by our size what we ought to be called.
We are going to raise plenty to eat then
the rest in cotton, let the price be what it
may. We can't do anything else, unless we
raise sheep. To this, there is one serious i'm
pediment-dogs preying upon the aocks. Our
lawmakers can stop this by passing a law
imposing tax or, license of one dollar on
the owner to each of the canine species kept.
Then we will have more bread, more sheep,
more eggs, and less Of hydrophobia.
