Five Children at Once.
[Shepherdstown Register.]
The most remarkable birth ever known in this history of accouchement occurred at or near Sabesville, Ohio, on last Monday night. Mrs. McCormick gave birth to five healthy children—four boys and one girl. The medical works have but few instances of such wonderful births, and when they do occur the children have scarcely been known to live. In this case the mother and children, in the common language on such occasions, are "doing well." The community there is excited and the father is the hero of all the country around about and his fame will spread on the wings of the newspapers from one end of the country to the other. His home is already an object of pilgrimage for all the old women of the region.
