Seven Sisters.

LOUISVILLE, JUNE 20.-A few
days since the Courier Journal con-
tanned a special from a Nashville
correspondent to the effect that a
woman residing in Jackson Cour ty,
that State, had given birth to seven
children at one time. The CORES
pendent tonight telegraphs that after
that first child was born the pains of
labor continued and an examination
convinced the physician that there
were two instead of one, and the
woman was soon delivered of a second
child, both girls. The physician gave
direction as to the care of both mother
and children and prepared to take his
leave. Before reaching his horse at
the gate he was recalled and delivered
the woman of another girl baby
Again the physician took his leave and
was again recalled, bringing to light
another girl baby. This was consid-
cred remarkable and the physician
was greatly puzzled over the matter.
He, however, congratulated the hus-
band on his good fortune and departed
for home. He had not gone more
than half mile before he was over
taken by the excited husband of the
woman, who In breathless haste told
him that there was still another child
to be born. Fastening back the
physician arrived in time to aid in de-
liyering the woman Of her fifth child.
The physician was then prevailed by no
the husband and father to stay during
the remainder OF the night. He was
not slow to accept the invitation, and
sat down to await developments.
In course Of 16 or 20 minutes he was
again called 20 the bedside Of the
woman, and soon a sixth child was
breathing the breath oflife. Morning
dawned and the doctor took his leave,
having had no sleep during the night
He threw himself across the bed on
his arrival at home, and was soon
sound asleep. About So'clock he was
arou sed by his wife who stated
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1881-06-30

that Mr.. B. was at the gate and want
ed to see him Immediately. "What's
the matter now?" asked the doctor.
Mary appears to be going to -
you KNOW" replied Mr.. B. "What,
another one ?" exclaimed the doctor.
That's it." said Mr.. B., smiling.
The doctor mounted his horse and
was soon at the house of B. He was
too late, however, to be of service as
the seventh child girl was born a few
minutes previous to his arrival. The
doctor remained about the premises
during the rest of the day, but his
services were not again needed. The
gentleman who made the above state
ment, and it is almost in his exact
words, says he has seen the seven
babies several times, and while not
large, weighing from 4 to 5 pounds
each, they appear to be healthy, we'll
developed children. The occurrence
has created considerable excitement
in the neighborhood and the people
for miles around flock to see the
woman and her babies. The husband
is described as being of small stature,
in fact, exceedingly thin, while the
wife is said to be strong and healthy.
The physicians here are consi derably
excited over the affair, and some are
talking of paying the family a visit.
The most singular feature of the
children is that all of them have blue
eyes and 50 closely resembles each
other that it is hard to tell (which

Suggestions of and for the Season.

Suggestions of and for the Season.
The cultivator should be kept at
work in the corn-feld, both to kill
the weeds and mellow the soil The
full returns for work done with the
cultivator are not all obtained in the
harvest of single crop, but the good
effect of the tillage are felt in succeed
ing years. Some farmers stop the
cultiyator so soon as the horse can
catch the leaves of the corn; it is
better to put on a muzzle, and con-
tinue the work, thus keeping down
the weeds, and leaving the ground in
better condition for the crops that are
to follow.
The work of harvesting wheat,
oats, and barley, will come this month,
and it should be begun as early as
possible; any delay is a source
of loss in number of ways. If al
lowed to get dead ripe" the grain is
not SO good and plump, and sells fol
less, because it does not make good
flour, the straw is less digestible than
when cut just as the grain has passed
out of the milk" There is less
waste from Smelling of the grain, and
besides the hurry which comes from
waiting, until the work comes in a
bunch, is avoided. Have everything
in the way of hired help and machin-
cry ready to so into the harvest field
on time; delays are dangerous.
Late haying will be done this month
and much that is to be gathered will
be of secondary quality from the
neglect to cut it earlier. A field OF
ripened and brown grass is sad evi-
dence of neglect. if not of downright
thoughtlessness and folly; and the
farmer who delays making his
hay when it is at its best, -when
the grass is in flower must suffer a

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
Hon. It. B. Scott for Governor.

Hon. It. B. Scott for Governor.
The exigencies of party existence,
the doubtful tenure by which all par
ties hold control, sometimes compels
recognition of very ordinary men as
candidates for office, because of loca
ton or residence. 1t is assumed that
every candidate is more or less popu-
lar at home, so when party lines have
been drawn close and the chances for
election or defeat are about even, it
has often been found necessary to
name candidate in a close district
in order to turn the scale on the side
of victory. This principle has gov
erned the action of the Republican
state convention for number Of
years past, and az a result, Milwaukee,
having been a close district, has die
tated the candidate for the head of
the ticket. We are not here to criti-
else her candidates or find fault with
the result, but we now believe that
other sections of this state have rights
and claims equally pressing and equal
ly important with Milwaukee. We
do not believe in creating or fostering
a sectional jealousy, or in arousing any
feeling that will hazard the chances of
Republican success, but We do believe
in fair recognition of all localities,
when it can be done at no sacrifice.
Active politicians throughout the
State have already organized 'booms"
for themselves or friends, and in some
instances, it is said, are making a per-
sonal canvass in order to forestall
the action of the convention soon to
meet. Candidates are numerous and
in most cases are worthy and deserv-
ing men, but as usual, the southern
portion of the State assumes to mon
opolize all the gubernatorial timber.
If any one will take the pains to ex-
anime the record, they will find that
the northern portion of the state has
never had governor, and that three
fourths of all the state officers have
been furnished by half dozen of the
southern counties. If therefore local
ity is of Importance in determining
who shall be candidate, we in the
north can present strong claims. In
addition to this fact, a gentleman has
been named as possible candidate for
governor, who not only possesses the
qualifications of locality but of eff
cient service to the party, honesty,
intelligence and worth. We refer to
the Hon. Thos. B. Scott of Grand
Rapids. Long service in the State
Senate has given him ample expert
ence ip public affairs Nature has
endowed him with strong good sense,
experience has fitted him to Ill that
Office intelligently, and his reputation
gives assurance that honesty and econ
omy would rule in his administration.
No more fitting or worthy candidate
has been mentioned and we believe no
one would fill and perform the duties
of the office more satisfactoril to all
the people He is an old resident in
Northern Wisconse, successful bust
ness man and one whom his neighbors
delights to honor. His claims should
receive respectful consideration
