micros attempt was made to upset or stop the mail

stances were nearly es follow ;_About tens on the
seine night, a man who had left a load of corn at
Nine-mile-House, was met by a party of seven
armed men near the cross road abOie mentioned,
where he was stopped with his horse and cart, tied,
and kept in that way till the coach came up about
the hour mentioned. A wall of loose stories,
about 'Two feet high, was built ac►oss the road by
the assailant party ; just as the mail coach
came up to the wall, tire party fired on the leading
horses, wounding one of them in three places in
the head, though trot severely. Foe one or
two seconds, the horses did not advance, but the
driver, Wihidm., boldly leaped the leaders over,
by which the wall was in part broken, mod the
wheel horses drove through after the leaders. the
coach at the seine time heeling almost eel its
title. So confident were the villains concerned
in the attack that the coach would be upset
' on coming in contact with the harrier of stoner,
that tit this juncture two or three of them rush-
ed out on the roar!, discharged their army, and
received the lire of Tyre and Henry, the two
guards in charge of the mail.—[And here we will
observe the necessity of at times inspecting the
arms of the mail guards, as the blunderbuss of one
of these missed tire on Thursday night, just as he
had one of the assailants covered.]—Fortimately sio
