EIGHT CHILDREN AT A BIRTH.—On the 2d of August, Mrs. Timothy Bradley, of Trumbull county, Ohio, gave birth to 8 children—three boys and five girls. They are all living, and are healthy but quite small. Mr. B's. family is increasing. He was married six years ago to Eunice Mownery, who weighed 227 pounds on the day of her marriage. She has given birth to two pair of twins, and now eight more, making twelve children in six years. It seems strange, but nevertheless is true, Mrs. B. was a twin herself, her mother and father both being twins, and her grandmother the mother of five pair of twins. Mrs. B. has named her children after notorious men: one after J. R. Giddings, who has given her a splendid gold medal; one after the Rev. Hon. Elijah Champlain, who gave her a deed of fifty acres of land; and the other after James Johnson, who gave her a cow.
