A Western Production! Mr. Benjamin B. Prichard, a native, we believe, of Mason county, but for many years past, a citizen of Montgomery, tarried a short time in Maysville last week, and created little curiosity, particularly among the children, because of his enormous bulk. He is 42 years of age, six feet one inch high, and weighs 483 pounds. He is communicative, gentlemanly in his deportment, and appears to be well informed. His health is good, but his superabundant flesh has become burdensome. [Maysville (Ky) Eagle.
