About a year ago, a 15th child was born to MR. and MRS. WILLIAM DESPAIN of this city, and was oddly, but probably properly, christened "ENOUGH." Monday evening twins, a boy and a girl, were born to the same parents, and of the 17 children all but one are living. MR. DESPAIN has been twice married, and was the father of five children by his first wife, or 22 in all.
