A Migratory Family.


A Chicago letter to tho Troy Times
says: A party named Benson, now re-
siding here, upon the birth of his first
child conceived the odd idea of christen-
ing it after the place of its birth. This
whimsical notion growing with his in
creasing family, and he being of some
what rowing disposition, now results in
q group of several children, who GER
tainly bear quaint if not euphonious
names. He was resident of your sis
ter city when his first, a daughter, was
born, and she, therefore, bears the
patti onymic, Albany Bensoni coming
West shortly after, the other, boy, is
known as Omaha Benson; then follow
consecutively, st. Joseph Benson, a son,
and st. Josephine Benson. daughter :;
Cincinnati Benson, daughter; Toledo
Benson, a daughter; and the last, lad
of two years, Chicago Benson. If you
have in mind more absurd instance OF
innocent lunacy, should be pleased to
know it,
