DIED.

On the 6th Intl at Guernfey, aged ao, Sajeant Samuel Mac-
donald, well known by the appellation of " Big Sam." He
was a native of the county of Sutherland, in Scotland, and
during part of the American Wu fereed in the Astable corps
railed there ; be was afterwards a Fugel-men to the Royals,and
continual in this fitnation till the year t 791. While ferving in
the Royals, he was employed on irecruiting party in Scotland,
which was ordered for head-quarters in Ireland, and he was for-
tunately detained on this fide the water by tome accident, the
whole of his comrades being lisipwreeked and drowned. At
that time his extraordinary !tam, and obliging difpofition,
procured him a recomntendation to the Prince of Waks, with
whom be lived as Lodge Porter at Carton Houk till t
He was then appointed Sajcant in the Sutherland Fatables;
but on account of his prodigious height. which made the raft
of the corps, though line east mad, look like fo many dwarfs,
he was chicly anployed in the recruiting fervice ; he, how-
eye?, continued with them after they were formed into the 93d,
until the day of his death. He meafured fix feet ten inches
high, four feet round the theft., extremely firing built and muf-
cola:, but yet proportionable, unkft haler might he thought
even too large for the load they had to bear. His fireqgth was
prodigious; but fuch was his pacific difpofition, that he
was never known to exert it improperly. He always dif-
played a degree of manly pride, and, notwithflanding very
confiderabft offers were made him, upon condition that he
&odd allow hindelf to be exhibited as a mow, he fpurned at
what he thought the hire of degradation. Once, and only
once, he was prevailed upon to make a public appearance, nor
was this obtained from him by Ids authority than that of his
Royal Highnefs, whdefervant be that was. This took place
at the Opera Houk, in the Haymarket, then occupied by the
Drury-lane Company, where Sam appeared in the appropriate
charadter of Jimmie:, In greens and IpSigesie. His death was
occationed by a colledion of water in the cavity of the thorax.
Sam continued healthy and salve till his 3,011 year ; his health
then began to decline, and it is by no means improbable that
this was the Brit formationt' of the dike& which finally termi-
nated his exiitenee.
