mixed by England and Austria. The govern

THE LYNcHING CASE AT MILFORD. The
report concerning the tarrng and featherinp
Collins at Milford, recently, is correct. 1t
seems that he has been guilty of the most 1i>.
gusting PRACTICES such as cannot be named in
a public print. The law does not restrain him
aud the Jail cannot hold him, he having heen
arrested and imprisoned three or four times.
His last act was an attempt to forcihly enter
the house of lone woman. This so incen Led
the people that they tarred and teathered him
aud threatened to hang him. The act is iu>ti.
