All the people living in his vicinity, especially the women, are greatly excited over an event which seldom happens in this world, not even in the houses of kings, and many a man, married for years, but still heirless, will wonder what sort of a man CASSIDY is, and “upon what meat doth this our Caesar feed.” Mrs. CASSIDY has just given birth to five children, three girls and two boys, and all of them remarkably well. They are very small, but still perfect in their organism, and may live. The mother is happily out of all danger, and able to receive the congratulations of the neighboring friends. This is one of the most remarkable cases in modern times. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ DC-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
