In the publish/subscribe example in the ROS tutorials, it shows about the simplest a subscriber can get (example).
There are two things required for a subscription, that is the callback function, and the subscriber handle. You can simply duplicate these as many times as you need. A modified example could be:
#include "ros/ros.h"
#include "std_msgs/String.h"
#include "std_msgs/Int16.h"
void fooCallback(const std_msgs::String::ConstPtr& msg)
{
// process the string
}
void barCallback(const std_msgs::Int16 msg)
{
// process the int
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
ros::init(argc, argv, "listener");
ros::NodeHandle n;
ros::Subscriber sub1 = n.subscribe("foo", 1000, fooCallback);
ros::Subscriber sub2 = n.subscribe("bar", 1000, barCallback);
ros::spin();
return 0;
}
I haven't tested this, so you probably can't just copy and run it.

Please don't use caps. Please edit your title and question and change things to use appropriate capitalisation.
