SIAMESE TWINS.—Many of our readers, (and particularly our distant readers) are unacquainted with the fact that these interesting brothers now live near Mount Airy, Surry County, N. C. We lately visited them at their residence, and was pleased to find them very intelligent and hospitable. They were born in May, 1811, of Chinese parents, at the city of Maklong. They have travelled very extensively throughout Europe and have visited all the United States except Illinois and Missouri. They have a very retentive memory of things and persons, and are free to communicate any information they possess. Endued with fine common sense, they exhibit a great deal of tact in their business transactions, and have the reputation among their neighbors of being strictly honest.
We learned that they were very expert in the use of a gun, and take great pleasure in hunting. They run fast, and walk sometimes eight or ten miles a day. They stand close together, yet are never in each other's way, and whatever movement is made by one is responded to immediately by the other. They seldom speak one to the other, but their perception is very quick, and they seem moved by the same impulse when engaged in conversation.
Their wives have blessed them with eleven children. They seem affectionate and happy in their domestic relations.—Rowan Whig.
