TRIPLE BIRTH.

A case of triple birth occurred at Cleator Moor early on Saturday morning last, when a Mrs. BLAKENEY, resident in Duke Street, was safely delivered of two girls and a boy. One of the girls and the boy died on Monday, and the other is not likely to live. The mother is doing well. An application is likely to be made for the usual bounty granted by her Majesty the Queen.
