PRoLIFIC.-About GO miles east of
Albany. on the Boston road, is situated
the town of Washington, Mass. High
up smong the Berkshire hills, it has lit
tie TO boast Of. either in soil or popula-
tion. 1t is one Of those characteristic
New England towns in which tho in
habitants love TO repeat the saying
when asked. What can you raise heres :"
We build schoolhouses and raise men. !"
Ex- Governor f. d. Morgan was one of
the products of this town. Not far
from his birthplace resides today fam
lily by the name of Tetro. The hus-
band. Isaac. was born la Canada, in 1919,
bat has been a resident of this country
for over twenty years. When about
- years of age he was married to Lydia
Doras, widow with three children.
Since that time she has borne him %
children. making 25 in all which she
has brought into the world. She was
90 years old when her last child was
born. Of this progeny there was only
one pair Of twins; two only died in in
fancy. seven died after attaining their
growth. and sixteen are living Ten
were boys and fifteen girls. The pres
en-, crop Of grandchildren numbers 80.
The mother of this great family was
one of sixteen children, by the name Of
Shepard. She was married when she
was l6, and widowed five years after.
IN which state she remained three years.
Her married life, therefore, comprises
s. years.

REGISTRATION CONVICTIONS.

The public should bear in mind, when
the convictions in Judge Southworth's
court for fraudulent registration are men,
toned, the object of the prosecutions and
their effect. 1t was evident long before
election that such illegal means to defeat
the will of the people were being prac-
ticed by repeaters that it would require
extraordinary efforts and vigilance to de-
tect and punish them. By perfectly
proper exercise of the facilities of the
registration Office it was positively learned
that at least ten thousand of the names
enrolled were fictitious. The only way
to proceed was against the papers through
afidavits against these names. About
ten thousand warrants were issued, and
of these not more than five hundred were
served. All but fifteen or sixteen were
discharged as having been prosecuted
through error.
The legitimate conclusion under these
circumstances was that the entire balance
were fraudulent and the names should be
erased from the rolls Every opportunity
was given, however, for the correction of
other errors. Accordingly, numbers came
forward voluntarily, and in all it was
found that of the whole number there
were about 1850 who were properly
registered, eight others were found guilty
and held under bonds to appear before
the Circuit Court. Seven-eighths of the
charges were thus proved true by the
total absence of any person to represent
the fictitious names the marshals had
searched for. The action was against the
paper men only, and, therefore, they
being in default, the judgment was
against them.
By this means the preparation Of a
systematic fraud was prevented. Though
great pains were taken to prevent mis-
takes, the alleged residences being visited
by three different persons before the afd-
davits were made, yet there were 1850
who proved they were not dishonesty
registered. If there was any inconve-
nience to these gentlemen, comparatively
few in number, considering that those
who could not come forward were seven
times as many, there has been gain to
the whole people which more than coun-
terbalances their troubles. The mere fact
that eight who confidently expected to es-
cape were convicted, proves the general
correctness Of the plan adopted. A great
wrong has been prevented, and the only
injury has been loss of few hours
time to gentlemen who should be gratifed
that the integrity of the ballot box has
been preserved in this instance, and that
their votes are not swept out Of existence
by others who in the courts have neither
q local habitation nor name.
