Eight Children at a Birth.
Cor. of The n. Y. Tribune.

johnson, Trumbull County, O., Aug d
On the I'd of August Mrs. Timothy
Brady gave birth to eight children
three boys and ise girls. They are ali
living. and are healthy, but quite small.
Mr. BIS family is increasing fast. He
vas married six years ago to Euniee
Mowery, who weighed 273 pounds on the
day of their marriage. She has given
tirth to two pair of twins, and now eight
more, making twelve children in six years.
1t seems strange, but nevertheless is true,
Mrs. b. was twin of three, her mother
and father both being twins, aud her
grand ID otb ber the mother Of fge pair OF
twins. Mrs. B. has named her boys af-
ter noted and distinguished men: One
after the Hon. Joshua r. Giddiogs, who
has given her SPLENDID medal; one af-
ter the Rev. Hon. Elijah CbampliD. who
gave her deed of So acres of land, and
the other after James johnson, ESQ.,, who
gave her COW. Mr.. Bradley says it is
profitable to have twins, as the neighbor' S
have clothed the others ever since they
were born. Mr.. B. is poor, industri-
Gus laborer. but says he will not part
with any Of bis children while be is able
to work.

Natural Curiosity.

A calf of very singular formation was
extracted from a COW belonging to William
Sine, Of Plumstead, on Friday evening
last. 1t was found to be divided into two
parts at the front and rear, having two
complete heads as far back as the shoul-
ders, four fore legs and feet, but one body
as far as the loins, where it was again d.
vided into two parts, having two complete
sets OF bipd legs and quarters. Thus II
was compose Of two complete calves, with
but one body. There was but one heart,
and it is said that no breathing apparat-
u, could be found. | was taken from the
COW with much difficulty, and eseu if life
existed at the beginning Of the operation
it was necessarily destroyed in the pro-
cess OF delivery.

CONGRESSIONAL INTERVENTION
WITH SLAVERY.

Hon Humphrey Marshall of Kentucky, of
the American party, and Member Of the
last Congress, declined being a candidate for
reelection. Sumo editors limited that pos
sibly he declined because he cannot stand on
the pro-slayery platform which part OF the
Americans of Kentucky have recently adopt
ed, in common with part of the Democracy
Of that State. Mr. Marshall has published
letter, to correct that impression, in which he
says:
f the Shareholder has the right to carry hi, slave into
Territory aud has the right 20 hold him there as
slave, (and tho bred Scott decision says he has this
right, and believe it, then my opinion is that the Ter
noral Legislature neither abroglte or annul inn
pair this right by It's Legislation and said in speech
made In Congress last winter aud repeat that
the Territorial Legislature should pass law with such
object effect think would be the duty Of Congress
to draw the congressional pen through the law, and send
II back to the Territory tSury1tiOu C0ngrrSs he'd
abrogated would NOS wait for the law 10 be prounuuc
cd unconstitutional by the Supreme Court OF the United
Satcs, but would act upon II OF once ne Congress- 30
could induce Congress 10 do its duty ia this regard
This affords fine opportunity to show the
difference between Republicansm and pro-
slavery Americanism and Sham Democracy.
Mr. Marshall has tcrsely expressed the pro-
slavery doctrine. The Republicans do not
believe in the bred Scott decision, nor in the
supremacy Of the people of Territory over
the whole people of the country, SO long as
that Territory is the common property of the
nation; therefore, whenever the people of a
Territory undertake to establish slavery, the
Republicans hold that it is the right and 1.-THE
duty of Congress to draw the Congressional
pen through the territorial law, and send it
back to the Territory as an usarpation Con-
gres' had dJrogated." And this position of
the Republicans of this day is entirely CON
sistent with the doctrine of the Republicans,
and of every body else indeed, in former
times. Until the modern slavocratic era, it
was the custom to insert provision in the
acts of Congress establishing territorial gov
eminent, subjecting all territorial laws to the
control of Congress.

A VALUABLE HINr.-The Judges of the
new Superior Court Of Massachusetts, have
held a meeting, and adopted two rules, which
are to 60 into immediate operation, and are
as follows:
!. That in all trials Of causes whether hy hurry or by
the court the closing arguments Of the counsel Of the
spectiye parties shall be limited TO hOur each side
unless bci1fe the commencement Of the argument for
good cause, the court shall allow further time.
2 That witnesses, during their examination, shall he
INTERCEPTED by counsel only, who shall respectively
conduct the examination and cross-examinaion stand
ing
The effect Of these rules will be to shorten
speeches and cross-examinations. aud are
very much in accordance with English prac-
tice. We cannot but recommend them to
the attention of the Judiciary of Vermont
Ii seems to us that if any reform Of this kind
is needed anywere, it is desirable in this
state 1t often happens that four counsel
are engaged in arguing case where the ad
ddnRum Is not twenty-five dollars, and they
occupy siN, eight ten and twelve hours to
the confusion of the jury and the disgust of
the court. Ia this way the business of our
terms are unreasonably protracted. Again /:
the witnesses and the counsel both sit during
the examination and REORGANIZATION Of a
witness, and these all continue at length
and tediousness that delays and abstracts
rather than facilitates justice A great re-
form in these particulars is needed, and it
seems to us that our Courts would do well
to initiate the example of Massachusetts, in
these particulars Bratleboro Phanir.

that the North tyrannizes over the South, ana

VERMONT & CANADA RAILROAD.

VERMONT d CANADA RAILROAD.
At special meeting of Stockholders, hold
en- at Mortified on the 18th inst, a Committee
was appointed, with full powers, for the pur-
poses of stopping all law suits, and the ex-
penses and the strife growing out of them
to place their property in quiet legal posi-
ton, so that the public and private purposes
of its charter may be attained and to com
ply with the charter in securing a place most
convenient for meeting, at the village of Bur
lington, the Rutland and Burlington Rail
road We quote from the Burlington Times.
The meeting also voted not to build the road
on the new line recently surveyed and the
Burlington Free Press and Mortified Herad
represent this as a violation of the charter
and the act of last session. We learn. how
ever, from the Tmts, that the new line is ac-
tually mile longer than the present track via
Essex, and has "such curves and grades Tone
of 05 feet as to take thirty minutes longer
than the present route to run I" In the face
of such facts, we suspect that the next Legis-
lature and the people will not be disposed to
second the complaints Of the Free Press and
Herald.
p. S.-A correspondent of the Times says
the new route is two miles and thrce-fourths
shorter than via Essex Junction, and that the
maximum grade is S3 feet to the mile and
this certainly has a bad enough look for the
new route
