the other day that ‘here was a pair of
‘-twins now living in that town a little os
ver .eighty seven vears old, and called tor
Iheir match. A Verson man, in reply,
says: “If your correspondent refers to

Sam's dominion- { ill state that there
were born in Ashf >rd West Society, De

Elijah and Hannah Whitton. The twins
were named Boaz and Ruth. Boaz died

The Epidemic At Norfolk and
Portsmouth. — We are happy to learn,
by way of Petersburg, that the yellow
lever has ceased to exist as an epidemic
in Norfolk and Portsmou'h. The im
pression of the physicians, however, is
that it is owing to the want of material
which has caused the great diminution in
the number of deaths, and prevented tile
spread of the disease. They warn’ ab
sentees not toretuin on'til after some very
severe weather .
