From a London paper — Aug. 10.
There is now in the river an
aftoni(Ling hairy wild man,
caught four hundred miles from
the Cape of Good Hope, bro’t
over in the Rambler, South Sea
Whaler; he is of aftonifning
mufcular ftrength, a fpecimen
of which had nearly proved fa
tal to one of the cuftom houfe
officers, who inadvertantly went
too near him ; he feized hold of
the man, twirled him about two
or three times with the gre ate ft
velocity, and then threw over
the fide. Luckily the man cf
caped with a horrid fright and
found ducking.
A V\ agoner flopped a few
claves pallwith his team, at Slay
maker s inn, in the borough of
1 ancafter. to feed his horfes.
One of them got loofe, and im
mediately farted off for the
ilacehouie. the wagon
er’s difeovering it, he purfued
in’rn ; and, taking hold of the
bridle, attempted to lead him
back. The horfe refilled. He
then had recourfe to the whip;
but all to no effed: Upon
which he exclaimed, f< You
'*“y —d Arillocrar/ you arc al
'nrjl as ftuborn as the 13 Sena
tors.”
