It will be recollscted that about a
month ago q process server and his es
cort retreated on Lough Mask House,
followed by q mob, and that on the
following day all the farm servants
we're ordered to leave Mr.. Boyco,t's sm.
ploymsnt. Mr.. Boycott Is Norfolk
man, the son OF clergyman, aud was
formerly an officer in the Thirty -ninth
Regiment. On his marriage lie settled
on tho Island Of Achili, and farmed
there until he was offered soms land
agencies, which occupied go much Of
his time that he, afer some twenty
years residences in Achili, elected to
take q farm on the main land. FoI
ssven years he has farmed at Lough
Mask acting also ss Lord Erne's agent
He has on his own account had few
idificulties with his work people but
these were tided over by concsssioAs OF
his part, and all went smoothly till the
serving Of notices upon Lord Erne's
| tenants. All the weightot the tenants
vengeance has fallen upon the ubfOE
tunate agent, whom tho irIigtsted peo
pie declare they will "hunt ou. OF the
country"
A special correspondent OF the Lon.
don Daily News gives this description
OF Wait to Mr.. Boycott
Beyond o turn In the road was 4
flock Of sheep, in front Of which stool
q shepherdess heading them back,
while shepherd In . leather shooting
jacket, aided by bull-tsrrier, was
driving the sheep through gate into
an adjacent field. Despite her white
woolen shawl and the work she was
ngaged upon, it was quite evident
rom her voice and manner that the
shepherdess was Of an upper class, and
the shepherd, albeit dressed In lestn-
sr Jacket, carried himself with the true
military air. Both were obviously am
atsurB at sheep.drlving. and the smart,
in elligent bull.terrier was as much an
am ateur as either Of them, for shep
herd, shsphsrdsss and dog were only
doing what q good collie would achieve
alone and unaided.
Behind the shepherd were two tall
members Of the Royal Irish Cors Nbus
larry In full unif rm and with car Iss
loaded, As the shepherd entered the
DO d the COL stables followed him every
where at distance OF few yards.
This combination OF the most prover-
bially peaceful Of pursuits with car
biues and buckshOt was irresistibly
striking, and the effect Of the picture
was not diminished by the remarks OF
Captain and Mrs. Boycott, for the
shepherd and shepherdess were no
otner than these. 1t will be recolleot.
ed that about a month ago process
server and his escort rstreated OIL

and that on the following day all the
servants were ordered TO leave Mr.. Boy

Lough Mask House djacent to the old

ed abroad, Mr.. Boycott and family are
now reduced to one female domestic.
Everybody else has gone away, pre-.
testing sorrow, but alleging that tho
power brought to bear upon them was
greater than they could resist. Farm
laborers, workmen, herdsmen, stable
men, all went long ago, leaving the
c,rn standing, the horses in the stable,
the sheep in the field, the turnips,
sxedes, carrots and potatoes in the
ground, where saw them yesterday.
Last Tuesday the laundress refused TO-
wash for the family any longer; the
baker at Ballinrode is afraid TO supply
them with bread and tho butcher fears
to send them meat. The state Of siege

When the strike first began Mr..
Boycott went brsvely to work with his
family, setting the young ladies to reap.
ing and binding and looking after the
beasts and sheep himself. But the
struggle Is at an end now. Mr.. Bay
colt has sold some OF his stock; but he
can neither cell his crop to anybody
. SO, nor, as We say in the North OF
E1glaud, Twin" 1t for himself. There
remains in the ground al least $500
worth Of potatoes and other root crops,
aad the owner bas no possible means Of
doing anything with them.
Nor, | am assur d on trusta or y
authority, would any human being buy
them at any price; nor, If any such
person were found, would he be able TO
find any lsborer to touch any manner
Of work on the spot under the ban. BY
an impalpsble and invisible power II Is
decreed that Mr.. Boycott shall bs
"huntei out" and it 10 more than
doubtful whether he will, Qnder exist
Ing circumstances, be able 10 stand
against it. He Is uuquGstionsbly Y
