EXTRAORDINARY UNDEKTAKING.

Mr. Cutten, of the "Old Crown Inn," Margate, undertook a few days back for a wager of dinner and wine for twenty gentlemen, to walk blindfolded from his house in Margate, to the "Wheatsheaf", at Northdown, a distance of about a mile and a half, in the space of two hours, which arduous undertaking he accomplished in forty minutes, the only assistance allowed was a stick to prevent his running against any obstacles which might stand in his way.
