Dk.vtii op "Bio Fbank."—Tho greatest taiaii corporeally in our community, and one of tho tallest subjects of Queen Victoria, died at Hawick, Scotland, on the sth August, in the person of Francis .Sheridan, landlord of the Irish Harp Tavern, Baker Street. " liig Frank" was 7 ft. 8 in. in height, measured 50 in. round tho chest, and weighed 22 st. avoirdupois. He was in his ."iOth year. A native of the Emerald Isle, Frank possessed much of the genuino humour of his countrymen, and was a man of peaceable disposition. His legs were much bent, and seemed unequal to support his huge frame t but, nevertheless, he was such a Saul among ordinary people, that every stranger stared at him in oi)eii-iuouthed wonder, as ho stalked along tho streets, supported on a stall', which might bavo done duty as a club for tholes 3 genial giants of fairy tides. With such, he had nothing in common, for he was disposed to bo on good terms with all human Uiul, and many frioada lament hid loss.
