them.

actions for assault and battery brought
against them in the county, they removed

As regards the supposed sympathy ex
isting between them, it may be stated that
their most intimate acquaintances deem
them to be entirely independent of evcry-
thing of the kind, and give us instances
to sustaiu their opinion, that not long
since they attended an auction sale of hogs,
and bid against each other till they ran
up the prices above market rates. Also
that on one occasion Mr. Eng or Chang,
was taken ill and -took to his bed, where

his brother scolded him severely all the

Tmjnovcd Wason Brake. Perry Dick-'
son, of Blooming Valley, Pa, has taken'
iir
measures to secure a patent for a very
simple and excellent brake for wagon3i
and carriages. It simply consists in con-
necting double cranks to the inner end
of the pole or shaft of a carriage or wag-
on, and connecting the cranks to a fric-
tion brake for the face of each weel, in,
such a manner that thc least backing up.
of the draught animals brings the brakes
up against the face of each wheel, and so
presses them that they cease to revolve,
and merely slide. It is a useful improve-1;
