He was a bachelor, and whether trusting to-his supposed popularity, or Imagin ing (hat the general alarm among the gentry was groundless, he continued in his lonelv man sion long after Ins neighbors had quitted theirs for a safer residence in town. lie had been In-, disposed for several days, and on (ho night he I was attacked, had taken supper in Ids bedroom. 1 wlno.li was on tho ground floor, and Inside a I parlor, with which It communicated.

Some hours arter ho had retired to bod, he was alarmedot hearing a window lifted in the i outer apartment; his chamber door was ajar, (and llie moon shone brilliantly through flic open j casement, rendering objects In tho parlor dis | linct and perceptible to any person In (ho Inner room.

No second thrust was requisite, for with a deep groan (he robber sank upon the floor. Tho obscurity of tho chamber, tho sudden destruction caused by that deadly thrust, pre vented the radians in the outer room from know ing tho fate of their companion. A second presented himself, crossed tho threshold, stum bled against his dead associate, and received the old man’s knife In his bosom. The wound, though mortal, was not so fatal as tho other, and the radian had strength to ejaculate that be was a dead man 1 Instantly several shots were fired, hut the old | gentleman’s position sheltered him from the | bullets. A third assassin advanced, levelled a j long fowling piece through the doorway, nnd actually levelled the barrel against the old I man’s body.

There was no e qualltv between the combatants with regard to strength, nnd although (ho old man struck often nml furiously with his knife, the blows were In effectual. and ho was thrown heavily on the floor, with the murderer above nlm. Even then, at that moment, Id* presence of mind saved this heroic gentleman. Ho found that the hlado of the knlfohad turned,and ho contrived to straigh ten (( upon the floor. The ruffian’s hands were already upon his throat—the pressure became suffocating—a few moments more nml the con- ! test must have ended; hut an accidental move- i merit o( his body exposed the murdeier’s side —the old man struck with his remaining strength a deadly blow—the robber’s grasp relaxed—and w ith a yell of mortal agony he lull dead across Ids antagonist. Horror-struck by the death shrieks of (heir comrades, the handitta wanted courage to enter that gloomy chamber which had boon already fatal Its so many. They poured an Irregular volley in. mid leaping through the open window, ran off’, leaving their lifeless companions behind.

During this time the gang, squatting on their hind quarters, look , ’bn at a distance. After some time spent In this way, file two assailants separate, when one up. 1 proaches the horse’s head, tho other his fail, with a shyness and cunning peculiar to them selves. At this stage of the attack, their frolic some approaches become very‘lnteresting-- It is in rigid good eotndst; tho Ibrracr is a mere de coy, the latter is the real assailant, and keeps his eyes steadily fixed on the ham-strings' or fhujk of tho horse. Tho critical moment is then watched, and the attack Is simultaneous; both I wolves spring at their victim at tho same Instant) —one to Ids throat, tho other to Ids flank—and if successful, which they generally ore, the hind i one never lots go Ids hold fill Ihe'horso is com-1 plelcly disabled. Instead of springing forward i or kicking to disengage himself, the horse turns round and round without attempting a defence.' The wolf before then springs behind to assi-t the other. Tho sinews are cut, and in half the lime I have been describing it, the horsd is on his side, his struggles are fruitless— tho victory is won.
