OF TOPHAM,
STRONG MAN.
We learn from private accounts well at
tested. that Thomas Topham, a - man. who
ke. pt a public house at 1slington, performed
surprizing feats of strength a8 breaking
a broomstick of the first magnitude, by
striking it against his bare arm: lifting
two hoesheads of water; heaving his
horse over the turnpike gate; Carrying
the beam of a house as the soldier his
fivelock, &c. But however belief might
stagzer, she soon recovered herself when
this second Sampson appeared at’ Derby,
as a performer in public, at a shilling each,
Upon apulication to” Alderman Cooper,
for leave to exhibit, the magistrate was
surprized at the feats he proposed ; and as
his apicarance was like that of other men
he requested him to strip, that he might
examive whether he was madz like them;
Lut he was found be extremely muscu
lar. ‘What were hollows under the arms
and hams of othef, were filicd with hga-
ments in Bim. : :
He appeared near five feet ten; turned
of thirty, well made; but nothing singulac 5
he walked with a small limp, He had for-
merly laid a wager; the usual decider of
digpuies, that three horses could not draw
him from a-fiost which he should clasp with
hig leet; but the diver giving them a sud-
den lash turned them aside, and the unex-
pected jerk had broke his thigh.
The performances of this wonderfuil
man, in whotifwere united the strength of
twelve, were rolling up a pewter dishrof
seven pounds, as a man rolls up a sheet
of paper—holding a pewter quart at arm's
Jongth, and squeezing the sides together
Lke an egg -shell-=lifting two hundred
weight with his little finger, and moving it
genidy over his head. The body he touch-
ed seemed to have lost their gravation. Hel
also broke a rope fasicnad to the floor, that
would systais twenty hundred weight——
lif ed an oak table six feet long with his
teeth, though half" a hundred weight was |
hung to the extremity ; a piece of leather
was fixed at one end for his teeth to_ hold,
two of the feet stood upen his knees, and |
be raised the end with the weight higher,
than that in his mouth—he took Mr. Cham- |
bers, vicar of all saints, who weighed 27
stone, and raised him with one hand—his
head being laid on one chatr, and his feet
