The Doi blk Babv at Lancastek, Ohio. We stated a few days'since that a strange, case of inal-! formation had occurred at Lancaster, in this State, and promised a more full description.

From same point downwards, the b'etidino; of the, iwo systems into one becomes more aml more inti- until it seems almost pei feet and complete. The intestines, and all the lower organs, are in common- with cemmon teriiiiv). and the legs mtide up of the rioht leg of one and the left lea of the other aie a pair, standing in the proper position relative te each other and to the organs in their vicinity.

In i he rear, however, the union is less there bring two wrl! developed spines, each terminating in a separate os coecyi a what is peculiarly strange, the two inner legs, dislocated at the hip joints, are thrown backwards and upwards, and joined together, are found under the true skin of the hack ol the body upon th ri'jht, the feet being extricated and standing up heel to heel, nearly in its face. The child is a female, with apparently a perfect sexual org-aniation. 'J he booies do not exactly face each othi-i but are more nearly face to face than side to side. One is apparently more ronust than the other, and it is evident that in many of thechar-acteristics of their c.institiHion they are different. As one is capable of suffering, hilr the other is unconscious of pain, it follows that their nervous systems are several from hich it is, we suppose, to he inferred that in ca-e they, (should survive, each will possess a character and individuality of its own.
