He shortly aftenratds left for Philadelphia, and made his first op; peorance Jane Uth, 1834,'at the Arch Street, and sang his prise extravogancaof "Zip Ooon," for the benefit of Andrew J. Alien.

At the time of Us exhibition, he weighed but 58 lbs., fond was 6 feet 3 inehss Ugh. He attributed the cause of- his wasting away to his having slept 'Mthe damp ground the night after the battle of PUttsbnrgh, at wuch time he Was serving in the American army.-. He described Us sensations on waking as being'those of extreme.nnmbneas and coldness. From that mo- ment he began to waste away, until he became the extraordinary titanaitothathevna,: Hevialted Europe, where he was examined by Sir AitleyCooileF, Sir Anthony Carllals, and most of the medical men of London. He could ride on horseback, lift 150 Iba., and eat, drink, and sleep as well as any man. . -- - Qls first appearance on the American stage was at the old Ohat- ham Theatre, New Tork, In May, 1830, as Jeremiah Thin, In 'Soohester."

This orchestra.Is stated on the programme to.bs "the fineat and moat complete in tho coun&y.'* That night seems to havo been an exception, as'there wore only two drums, a piano, and three flddlealnthebox; one drummer, playing— probably for the absontees—his own mild histrument, a cymbal,- gong, triangle, and flute. A sandwich of a dance, between two songs, followed, the .melody of the letter being somewhat dis- turbed by new-coiliers into the ball recognising acquaintances, waitresses, and shouting their names, with the compliments of the season, aoroas the boll, with a f^dom peculiar to the Land of Liberty.
