Ton of Brothers in Family.

Tigertown, Wis., boasts of the largest family in the U. S. At a recent gathering of the Hoffman brothers a dispute arose as to which was the heaviest They were weighed with the following result: Hubert 243, John 233, Matt 220, Louis 229, Joseph 230, Henry 280, J. H. 217, and Hans 234. That is more than a ton of brothers, an average of 233 per Hoffman.
