The late Hervey Leach, commonly
called Hervio Nano, who died about 8
weeks ago, beqseathed his remains to DR.
Liston. The Literary (Loudon) Gazette
gives the following account of the con
struction and appearance Of the body;
"This extraordinary eripple exhibits
the very rare combination of perfect
symmetry, strength and beauty, with a
great amount Of deformity. The head
is remarkably 6ne in form, aud the ex.
preston intelligent and benign; the chest
and shoulders. aud arms, form perfect
model Of strength and beauty the arms
are exceedingly muscular, and the. hands
we'll and strongly formed when stand-
ing the arms could reach the ground
easily, so as to be employed in progress
ing or leaping. In the place Of legs. are
two limbs, tho left, about Is inches from
the hip to the point Of the toes, the right,
about "a from the same points. The feet
are natural. The easiest method of ex-
planning the nature of these limbs is &c say
that ii seems as though the thigh bones &
muscles had disappeared, and the knee
joints been raised up TO the hips; the bone
ON one side is tolerably like leg bone'
on the othes it is compressed into an inns
meneely strong bone of triangular form
with the base upwards, and knit 10 the
hip with very strong ligaments. These
limbs are furnished with the muscles
which should have belonged TO the thigh
and those Of tho leg are much in
creased in size /; the muscles of tho cali
being com paratively small, on account
probably ofhis mode of walking, contri-
butte to give the limb the look Of lions
fore arm. Nearly double power must
have been obtained over tho feet by this
arrangement; and this would account for
his extraord mary feats of leaping, ssch
as following horse at full speed on the
hands and feet. and suddenly springing
on its back like monkey, or jumping 10
feet in the mir. His mode of fighting toe
was mes. original; he used to spring In the
air, and at the SAME instant deal the
most terrific blow upon his unwary an<
