Haez EIa. An Experience,

An interesting letter from Mack
Montei'h, at The DaIles, was received
few days since by friend. Written
in his pointed style, it gives an account
ofan attack made on him one night by
couple of thugs" He was going
home about ten o'clock when they ap-
preached him from behind with their
implements of war. and were about to
strike him when he backed up, showed
fight, and getting good chance, turned
and run like = well, like deer, and as
fast as his long legs would carry him.
The Dalles is evidently a bad place,
such occurrences being quite common
there and we understand is full sf bold
robbers and street thugs.
