 e99 ifdH ptstter,-W were visited yester- day, by gentleman from N. Carolina. who measures in height no less than sic feet e'ght inches. He naturally excited some astonshment among our clerks, one of whom stands rather above six feet, but who, alongside the stranger, seemed but a halt grown boy. Our visiter stated that 1 he has four brothers, whose aggregate height IS 32 feet inches. His father measures six feet one inch. North Caro- lina may we'll boast of the taness of her sons, especially as this specimen of growth Is not the highest that may be produced, our friend having assured us that one of hIs nelghbors measures over seuea teet.- Truly, he must belong to race of gaints.
