AN AMERICAN GIANT.

Mons. Rihn, the gigantic Belgian, who exhibit
ed hmsefIn Boston the last Autumn was viewed
with admiration and astonishment, las one of the
most magnificent specimens ofhumanity in these
latter days The eclat of his colossal proportions,
and of his success in exhibiting himself reached
the remote section of ST. Josephs, in the State OF
Michigan, where there resided in rural quietudc,
Charles Freeman, youth of19 years ofago, whose
stature had outsiripped the ordinary altitude of
common men, that he began to think himself worth
seeing-and with that impression firmly established
in his mind, he came 10 the city ofNew York, and
and has finally arrived in Boston where he is on
exhibition at Harrinston's Museum.
Having called, others do, TO crafty the com
mon promptings of curiosity, we noted down The
following items in relation 10 Mr. Freemans histo-

seucn feet and three inches, and weighs h'te nan

of age the family emigrated to Illinois, and ulti-
mately settled ut ST. Josepbs IN Michigan, where

lean frame work ofhis bones, prodigiously de-

no question. AT present he seems TO be IN the pro

when his growth is completed, us past our divning.
