and who was moving out West from
Milton, was placed upon the cars al

giving an account of the affair to O
number of men in the baggage car. He
said he had stopped at farm house,
and was leading his horse in the barn,
when he was struck quicker than light
ming, thrown into straw heap, his
horses blown into the air, the barn TAX
en- away, and his wagon crushed to
atoms, and his leg broken. A minister,
who was present, asked him if he put
his trust in Providence. "By gaul,

A Wild English Mob.

The Lancashire mob, which burned
mills and houses, and had it's own wild
will for single night last month, sprung
up as if by magic and set out for the
stone mansion of Col. jackson, the
Chairman of the Masters Association,
stopping on the way again and again to
ravage and destroy the property of
manufacturers. The window blinds of
Brookhouse Cottage were torn down and
converted into banners, which were car
ried at the head of the lawless procession
in the direction of the Chtheroe. For
about three miles this headlong course
was pursued, until the mansion was
reached. Thousands vowed that they
would have the life of Col. Jackson, on
the ground that he had been prime
mover in the attempted reduction of
wages. There were two roads that ran
to the mansion, and, on hearing the mob
coming. he darted out at the back door
and down toward the Bulls Head,
where he managed to get hired cab;
then he drove on toward Blackburn by
an old highway and reached the Town
Hall. The mob took possession of an
other cab which was seen ON the other
road and wrenched open the door. Mrs.
Jackson and her children were inside.
crying bitterly. TIE mob allowed them
to go on, and then swarmed about the
house. The best chairs, piano and
other furniture were brought to the
door and smashed, and the bedding was
tossed out of the windows. The man.
sion was set on fire i'll dozen places and
burned to the ground. Then carriage
was taken from the stable and trailed
down the turnpike road to the town. On
Stafford bridge vitriol, spirits and COM
bustibles were applied, and the vehicle
was burned amid shouts of approval from
the crowd. Some of the rioters at the
house were mad enough to be unwilling
to hold their hands when it was learned
that two women servants were still in a
bedroom. "Let them burn" was the
cry; but happily they were allowed to
escape. Col. Jackson's old port wine
was drunk up, and probably added
to the fury of the uproar with
which the mob returned to town.
