apartments in the moll airy and falhionable parts of
the town ate now offered for half price, and fome of

a valuable Humane Inllitution, which has long been
one of the greatelt ornaments to the banks of the ri-
vers Wreak and Eye, and to the town of Melton

A man of the name of LEEIA ITR F. born in Switzer
land, at prefent about 8o years old, retitle' at Chateau-
dun, in the department of Eure and Loire, of whom
the following almolt incredible inftances of corporeal
ftrenath are nat rated :
'Phis fecond Mita) carried on his fhoulders, in the
market-place of Chartres, a boric belonging to the,
heavy cavalry, to a conliderahle dill:ince. Like Isis
rival of Crotona, he checked in its career a carriage
drawn by two holies, advancing at a (mart tint ;
he drew after him, with one finger, twelve greia•
diets, one holding the other by a handkerchief, and
remained immoveable, nots, ithltanding their tii.ited
efforts, to throw him down. As aEtive as lie is
Itreng and valiant, having been once.called on to
aflilt as one of the city guards, in tiie fappreflion of
a riot at Verfailles, he purlued one of the French
guards, who was reputed the molt .otive man in the
regiment, and having overtaken him, lie killed him,
by merely laying hi* iron hand on him, for the pur.
pore of flopping him. It was this event which ella-
bliffied him at Chateaudun, as he was obliged to
carry the taper of St. Lazarus to Vendome, before
be could obt,--n his pardon. Doting the Revolu-
ti-n he was thrown into prifon, when this modern
Sampfon obtained Isis liberty, by carrying the doors
of the prifon to the revolutionary committee ; ar-
dent and generous in his fiiendlhip, he folicited the
freedom of his companions in misfortune. Benta-
bole at that time traverfcd the Department of Eure
and Loire, invelted with unlimited power ; Lemaitre
informed of it, followed him poll hafte, and over-
took him on the road, his carriage being flock fall
in a Bough up to the axle-pie ; he creeps under it,
raifes it up, frees it from the {lough, and as a re-
ward for his fel vices, obtains the liberty of his fellow-
prifoners. A fire took place at Chateaudun, lie‘rfes
harneffed to grapplings, tugged in every dircaion, '
but in vain ; he unharneffes them, feizes the ropes
himfelf, and immediately the walls give way, and
the fire is flopped. In an infurreaion, on account
of the high price of corn, the rioters attempted to feize
the municipality, of which body be was a member ;
he coolly Itepped forward, und fwimming through
[ the tumultuous waves, he brought down dozens of
[ them to the graund. He was inflated at his own
door by Come national guard, who drew their fabres
againft him ; he laid hold of one of the molt 'lmper-
tinent among them, and wi:ldiag him as he would a
dub, be loon brought the v hole party to their fettles.
—About eight yeara ago he 'imported three men on
the calf of one of his Legs, which was beat; and at
arms length lifted up a grenadier by the walk. We
timid never end were we to recount all the iallances
of his Orength ; his athletic form belpeaks his extra.
I ordinary vigour ; ar,d when nature (hall determine
to break one of the nobleft of her work-, fcience may
poffibly claim poffeffion of fo fine a fiarYet2 as a chef
