FATAL ACC DENT IN A MILL, laAlt BRADFORD.—On
Wednesday, an inquest was held at the Washington Inn,
Cropper Lane, Bradford, on the body of John Glover,
fifteen years of age, who died at the Infirmary, on Sanday,
from injuries received in a factory at Idle, known as the
" Black Mill," on the S ►turday week previous. When it
was near closing time the youth was anxious to get a
brush which was hanging near a revolving shaft, and when
attempting to reach it a loose portion of his smcck was
caught by the shaft, and he was instantly drawn up and
wrapped round it. A minute and a half elapsed before
he could be taken d )wn, or th 3 en /iae stopped ; anL as the
shaft was running at the rate of 120 revolutions per minute,
he had thus been whirled roarid 180 timee. He was brought

to the Bradfo d Infirmary, when it was ascertained that
the right leg had been entirely wrenched off, and the left
so shockingly broken as to require amputation, which was
accordingly done. At first tte youth, contrary to expec-
tation, seemed to rally, but ultimately mortification super-
vened, and ha dial at the time stated. As it appeared
that the youth was himself alone to blame, a verdict of
"Accidental death" was returned.

Mr. Spurgeon, we b?lieve, attained notoriety at first by
virtue of certain familiar figures cf speech, borrowed from
the shop and the street, which, unknown before in the
pulpit, attracted public interest much on the same princi-
ple as the stage clown campated for it with Whitfield at
Bartholomew Fair. These colloquialisms be has since
pared and pruned of much of their extravagance, which
seemed, to the taste of many, to border on profaneness, but
there is sill a sifficknt sprinklinc, of them to give a certain
tone, or rather twang, to the wholeb of his mi, istrations.
Thos4 who have heard the free and easy mode in which
he hits off the dialogue between Luther and the devil—
" Yon are a great sinner. sir," said the devil. " I grant,
th it," said Luther. " You will be damned, sir," said the
devil. " You are a great liar, sir," said Luther—the

lively way in which he-takes off the whimpering "silly
gall," who won't go to tho fountain because she has no
water in her pitcher; or the graphic power with which he
personates the Divine attributes, the law, Satan, and Christ
all in high debate abaut the destiny of the sinner—will
easily understand what we mean when we say, that in the
honaelires., the every-day worldliness, the how-d'ye-do
English hearfness of the scan, we discover at once the
characteristic style of the preacher, and the true secret of
his success. C. g. Spurgeon, though a Baptist, is in style
the reverse (,f John the Baptist. He is the voice of one
crying in the city. He is a Cockney evangelised. His
whole.speech and turn of thought savours of Cheapside and
the Bank, only Cheapi,de and the Bank must be supp-sed
to be baptised and to talk Calvinism. Fancy the whole
traffic of these thorongtlares suddenly arrested some day
at noon ; finny all the 'ha., cab, and hamsom drivers to
be personified in one elequent Jehu, who holds forth to the
multitude, struck mute and motionless on some 'point of
religion, is tones of thunder, sounding strange amid the
unwonted silence—and you hate Spurgeon preaching at
Surrey Gardens.—Edinbavh Witness.
