We had always supposed that absurd stories
grow in this vicinity like weeds in the tropics,
or trees planted by tho rivers. For once, how
ever, the country newspapers have got ahead
of our neighborhood. We have made diligcnt
search, taken the census, examined every era-
die, closet, crib, nook and comer,-and are
prepared to affirm the following story, which
has been in the Wmdham County Telegraph, the
Noricich Tribune, Springfield Republican, Boston
Chronicle, and other papers, to be an craqgeya-
Hon
Rev. II. w. Beecher's lady has presented
him with fire little responsibilities in a little
better than one year-two soon after the arrival
of Kossuth, and three tho other day.
Twins there were year ago, whose blessed
faces fill the house with light But tho three
above mentioned were born of those maternal
editors, whose brains fulfil the prophetic words,
- Ye shall conceive chaff; ye shall bring forth
stubble.'
We turn these mousing, mongering editors
over to the next Woman's Rights Convention;
or if they are not ct for a scat there, they may
amuso their children with nursery tales while
the mothers are at discussion or if not fit for
that, let them in mercy be bound out as very
dry nurses ut some founding hospital.-Ipde-

cd the statement that Elizur Wright has recent
ly been. presented with twins by his loving
wife. making twenty children all told, he writes
to the Commonwealth in the following strsin -
MEssRs. EDITons AS several of the news
papers have kindly volunteered to inform the
public of my domestic affairs, without entire
success as to the facts, and yours with the least
of all, please permit mo to say to my old
friends and readers, that tho 'mousing edit
ors' have not done me so much injustice as
might have been expected. There was in the
first item only an unimportant error of sex.
am happy to confess too boys, whom l named
after two true men, and whom, if they live to
learn English, l mean to teach that truth is
greater than any number of men. For exam
pie, that any man, who, having sworn to sup
port the Constitution Of the United States, votes
for such law as the Fugitive Slave Law, or
any judge who rules it law on the bench, is
either blockhoad or perjured wretch, though
backed by millions of men whose notes arc
discountoble at the bank. l say, am happy
for believe there is bread-and mik-enough
in this country to warrant great increase of
the singular fanatics who cannot believe that
national felony (per se) can be converted into
law by being enacted through Congress, signed
by some Fillmore or Pierce, and adiudicated
constitutional by Supreme Court who aro
fed for life out of the Federal Treasury and
holding their seats by the special grace of slave
holders. My two little boys receive as hint
from the dominions of the Higher Law not
yet to despair of having a republic more just
and regardful of the rights Of the weak than
steel -bristling old autocIacies and obligarchies
Of Europe. With thanks for the kind motives
of your unbclief, l am truly your friend.
