I The Doi blk Babv at Lancastek, Ohio. We i 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- inate,, 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 perfect,, there bring two wrl! developed spines, each terminating in a separate os coecyi ; a d, 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 ex tricated 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, w hilr the other is un conscious of pain, it follows that their nervous sys tems are several : from w 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.

Ironi wh.ch they continued toadvaneetill they reach ed biJij. on the first ol Apiil. A giadum decline took place alter tha: dale, owing to the near approach of the new crop, and -tee was accepted earty in Juiy. Subsequent to to inat period, in cousequwuee ot the setting m ol a large expoit demand, the market luled himer, and rates advan ced to 64c. in th forward part of September; but during the last quarter of the year, the extreme pressuie in rnoue taiy alfa.rs, exercised a depressing influence upon the ar ticle, aud prices closed UDout tiny per cent, below the laies current at me coi responding p.-riod in 1?53. A por tion ot ihe decline towards the close of the vear, is attribu table to tne suspension of two large consumers of the arti C e. wnose operations had, lor some tune previous, sustain ed prices in Wilmington upon a level with this market, a..U s-. tin- lacl that the stringent condition of money has since obliged some receivers w ho held large amounts of tne dishoiio.ed paper, to continually force iheir receipts upon tue maikut.io meet their own" obligations.
