Extraordinary Relation by HalriHgf,
G Not lotig since a man in Saukoounty, Wis.,
married for his second wife his own step moth
er, who, singular enough, was a sister to his
first wife. . The lady is therefore, not, only°step
mother and aunt to her husbands children, but
also their grandmother, while the husband is
step father to his stepsisters. Her issue by
this marriage will not only be own cousins to
their step brother, but uncle and aunts also;
and the lady herself, being grandmother to her
children and nephews, may be regarded as moth- j
er to herself and child to herself and therefore ‘
her own grandmother.
