Slave Case-Fatal Result.
Columbia, Pa., April 29.. An officer,
named Ridgely, and another, named
Snyder, (the latter-from Harrisburg,)
came here to-day, in -search "of a colored
man, named Smith, claimed as a fugitive
slave ; and. whilst the man was in their
custody, he was shot dead by one of the
officers whether designedly or not, it is
difficult to say, as there are so many
conflicting reports. There were a largo
number of colored persons present when
the affair took place, and as may be sup
posed, an intense excitement has been
nroduced. Smith, though sunnosed to be
a slave, has been living here for several
years, and has a familin this place.
Officer Ridgely is from Baltimore, and
came hero after Smith at the instance of
a Maryland slave owner. '

Ridgely was pursued by the police,

The only thing left for the support of

of the medical works.

family of the lad, who readily gave their
consent to the autopsy, and his physician, I
Dr: Fox Smith, who with the assistance !
of Dr. Sherrjden, Dr Hale, and others,
performed the operation, we obtained the
following particulars.
This lad, when born, was a twin child,
, and attached to one side of the other
l child, which also, at birth, be it remem
, bered, was alive. The contact between
j the children extended from the mama to
' spino of the ilium, and there was a free
interchange of nerves and blood-vessels
passing from one bodr to the other. The
former (the nerves) had the origin in the ,
dorse! region of the vertebra, and the lat
j ter (the blood-vessels) rose from the arch
' of the aorta and merged into the vena
cava asccudens. There was but one um
bilical dimple between the twins and that
was situated in tne centre ot tue vital

tion still continued in, it, even in the ex
tremities as the temples, feet and wrists.
He hesitated therefore for a time to resort

Formerly, from its birth to the moment
in discussion, it had nursed, cried, smiled,
showed signs of consciousness, in short, as
evidently as any infant possessing an in-
dependent and distinct vitality. But af-
ter this moment, it never nursed, it never '
cried, it never smiled, it never showed
again a sign ot consciousness, its eyes
remained hermetically sealed, its mouth
closed, and all physiological functions
terminated. Still the body did notde
( cay. It did not grow any more, on the
contrarv. it rather diminished in bulk.
It shrivelled up, until it assumed the shape
of one of those interesting infantile mum
mies that Professor Gliddon unfolds when
he gives an exhibition to the scholars of I
the public schools. The circulation of j
living blood from the surviving twin, it,
' would seem, preserved the body of tho
, dead one.

( body, of the other, which became, then,
the tabernacle, so to speak, of a dual

more extended account of this phenome

Serious Effects of fhc Late Storm.
From all quarters we have accounts of
the serious effects of the late storm.
Thj3 overflow of the Allegheny and Mo
nongahla rivers, is truly disastrous.
In addition to the loss of many valuable
live?, it is estimated that S400,000 worth
of property was destroyed in the vicini
ty of Pittsburg. The water was within
three feet of high flood mark of 1832.
Upwards of five hundred families were
driven from their homes in tho little city
of Allegheny. Many of the bridges on
the Potomac have been swept away, and
a large amount of valuable property along
the river-and canal, has been either car
ried off or wholly ruined. From the east
we bear of numerous disasters to the ship
ping. Several vessels are either ashore,
or totally wrecked, in the neighborhood
of Boston. It is feared that the shipping
along the coast has suffered to a far great
er extent than, is yet known.

lionifl ftTapoIeoii'fi Parentage.
The personal character of Louis Na
poleon is somewhat enigmatical. His
mother, Hortense Beauha'rnais, was a
woman of exceedingly bad life', however
history may have glossed her annals.
Before irfarraige sie had two children
one by Napoleon which died early"; the
other by a Frenchman Flahaut the
present De Morny, late Minister of the
Interior. Louis Napoleon,
her marriage with Louis
of Holland, is very generally regarded
as the natural son of a Dutch Admiral,
notorious as the Queen's lover. His
physiogomy, his complexion, his air and
habits, are all Dutch. He is slow and
taciturn.
Still, he is himself convinced of his
true Napoleonic blood and origin, and
really has, or affects to have, an astro
logical faith in his high destiny. He
believes himself born to walk in the
footspes of the great Napoleon, and
hence we see him reviving the institu
tions of the Empire with a sort of Chi
nese fidelity of imitation. He has
reached the point and power of the First
Consul, and it is generally believed vthat
he will soon put on the crown of the
Empire.
