He congratulated himself, however, on baviog so civil a lot of traveling com­ panions. ’For,’ said he, ‘if any one aboard bad been rude enough to have resisted tbe scoundrels, we would all have been killed.’” Tbe dangers and hardships we have encountered in other days, give back some of our mo**t pleasing reminiscen­ ces. We point witb pride to the scar on oar body, that proves how near some terrible accident came to shut* ing off our supply of oxygen, In foot, tbe contemplation of these subjects, supplies, in tbe aggregate, far more than an equivalent for the suffering tbey originally produced. Tbe foregoing remarks were sug­ gested ou hearing Gen. J. O. Tolman relate the circumstances attending tbe late stage robbery on tbe Siskiyou mountain, of wbioh be was an eye-wit- new. When the General shall have long since passed iu his checks, bis graud children, having learned the story from their parents, will relate, witb animated gusto, tbe incidents of the General's adventure with the two masked highwaymen, on the summit of the Siskiyous. We will endeavor to give it as near in the General’s own words as our 1 memory servw us. •A i
