BRISBANE'S FIRST TWINS.
MESSRS. FELIX AND EDWARD CRAWLEY.
With their 72 years light upon them, and possessing still retentive memories of the earliest pioneering days of Brisbane, are the twin brothers, Messrs. Felix and Edward Crawley, sons of Thomas and Alice Crawley who, with their daughter Mary, aged 11, arrived in Moreton Bay from England on December 13, 1848, by the ship Artemisia, the first Government immigrant vessel to arrive in the colony. Twelve months after, on December 18, 1849, the twins.were born at Brisbane, the northern outpost of the colony of New South Wales. Among other new arrivals by the Artemisia were the well-known families of McNaught, Costin, Phillips, and Webb. The early life of the brothers was spent about Brisbane, and Felix remembers well the occasion of the hanging of the notorious aboriginal Dundalli at the back of the Post Office, a sight that made him drop his parcel and only stop running when he reached home. He recollects the time when Queen-street was a bog-hole, when the native trees grew in the street, especially the large Moreton Bay fig on the present site of the Bank of New South Wales. Many a day was spent with the "dilly-bag" prawning along the banks of the little creek which ran from Margaret-street along Albert-street down to near the Post Office Wharf, and also along the big creek which ran from the present Creek-street, through the new Town Hall site, along Roma-street, to the back of Barnes and Co.'s premises, where the town water supply was drawn. When five years old the twins were lost in the Three-mile Scrub, and all Brisbane assisted in the search. They were eventually, located by Zachariah Skyring and brought back in a dray to the township. They recollect the time when Fortitude Valley possesed only five dwelling-houses; to-day it is the busiest and most thriving shopping centre of the State. A handsome framed enlarged portrait of the twins was on view, in the window of Kodak Ltd., Queen-street, Brisbane, last week.

A young man named Henry Cossart met with a fatal accident yesterday morning, about two miles from the Highfields Saw mills. It appears that Cossart was engaged in drawing timber to the mill, and while passing through the bush his carriage ran against a tree in such a manner as to check the further progress of the team. He endeavoured to turn the bullocks so as to clear the carriage and the log, when the tree suddenly fell over the bullocks, and brought him to the ground. Several German timber getters ran to his assistance, but before they could extricate him from beneath the limbs of the tree life was quite extinct. Cossart was only nineteen years of age and the son of Mr Henry Cossart one of the oldest settlers on the High fields road. An inquest will be held on the body this (Saturday) morning.
