men were at work. No guard of police or
deputy sheriis had been stationed
there, and the employees were easily
forced from their position. Thence
the mob advanced upon the Van

on duty, who ordered the men back. They
refused, and made a rush, bearing the
officers down and swarmed through the
gates into tine yards and forced all the en-

met by a strong force of deputy

rifles. They ord red the mob back and
called upon them to disperse This the
crowd refused to do, and upon attempting
to rush through the gat.s the marshals
brought their rifles to their shout

that there should be no work done in that

England has not been fortunats In the
gorillas which have been brought over to

came into the possession of Mr.. Cross, the
great Liverpool dealer, died few weeks
ago from the cold in spite of all efforts to
save her. We are told on good authority
that not more than half q dozen gorilla
have survived even the voyage, and with
the exception of the one exhibited soma time
ago at the Aquarium, perhaps not one Of
them is living. So it was natural enough
that Mr. Cross should set some value even
on the gorills's corpse, which was sent mp to
Mr., Bartlett at the Geological gardens. The
price was too high, however, and the dead
body was returned to Liverpool by the soci-
