EIGHT CHILDREN AT A BIRrH.--A cor
respondent of the New York Tribune,
writing from johnson, Trumbull Co.,
Ohio, under date Of Aug. Cd, states
that a Mrs. Timothy Bradley, Of that
place, had become the mother Of eight
children at single birth-three boys
and five girls-and that they were all
living and healthy. She had previous
ly given birth to two pairs of twins,
making twelve children in six years.
1t is said that Mrs. b. was turin, her
mother and father were twins not by
the same mother, we presume and
her grandmother the mother of five
pairs of twins. This is pretty tough
story, but then we suppose it must be
true, for we "iind it in the ncwspa.
