THE SIAMEsE TwINs.-We extract from
the letter of a CORE spondent of the South
Carolina Spar.an the following account of
Chang and Eng. ana their families:


.sYou NAV be aware that some few years
since. the Siamese Twins, Chang and Eng,
retired from the public gaze and settled
down in this county (Wilkes) as farmers.
You will also recollect The fact, that during
last year it was Published in some of the
newspapers that they had married sisters.


This notice was treated as a hoax by
some of the journals, and | incline to think
that public opinion settled that the twins
were still living in single blessedness. To
nv surprise find that the supposed hoax
is literal fact: and that these distinguished
characters are married menl Mrs. &. and
L are we'll known to several of my personal
acquaintances, and are said to be very
amable and Industrious. Each of the Ia
dies has presented her particular lord with
an heir, IN the person of a fine, fat. bouncing
daughteri


It's said that Chang and Eng, with their
wives and children, contemplate making
tour through this country in year or two.
The twins enjoy excellent health-are very
lively, talkative, and apparently happy;
and will doubtless prove more interesting
and attractive in their second tour than they
did in their first over the world. Having
families to provide Tor, as prudent husbands
and fathers. they may think their bachelor
fortune insufficient for ali the little Changs
and Engs of which they now have the
promise"
