A REMARKABLE FACT.—Mr George Pease, a gentleman will known by a numerous and respectable acquaintance in Darlington and its neighbourhood, can boast of having had a greater number of nephews and nieces, perhaps, than any other batchelor in the king's dominions. He has been uncle to sixty-three, great uncle to seventy-three, and great great uncle to six; making a total of one hundred and forty-two, one hundred and ten of whom are now living.—Mr Pease is about 64 years of age, and is in excellent health and spirits. It is supposed, on a moderate calculation, that this gentleman (although lame) has walked in the town of Darlington, within the last 50 years, not less than thirty-six thousand five hundred miles!
