Boston, April 19. Now at Mr. Dimond Morton's, the sign of
the Black and White Horse, a very remarkable lad of but 7
years of age;--he is 4 feet 2 inches high, and measures 3
feet 4 inches broad, and is so very fat that he cannot stoop
to take up any thing from the ground; he has no ribbs, but
is so very strong that he can lift almost any man with one
hand; nay, 'tis said, he can easily take up 400 wt. He
sings, and talks very sensibly. . . His name is Samuel Dun,
and was born in New Jersey.
