One night I was roused out of my bed to be shot, by a drunken Irishman, with a horse-pistol, loaded * with buck-shot. We counted, next morning, seven small holes in the side of the tent where I had been standing when he fired at me. I also had my rifle in my hand, but the sleeping traden who lay around us in their thin tents, and whom I feared to hit, prevented xne firom sending a ball through him ; and when I ran toward him, he disappeared in the broken ground outside the tents, but he never s...howed his face afterward at Murphey's. Stoutenburgh vras quite a little town. We had there, at least, fifty store-tents, three American, and several French boarding- houses (one ounce per week the chaige for boarding), two drug stores or doctor's shops, about twenty monte, roulette, rouge-et- noir tables, &c., &c. ; a bowling-alley, where a man could roll three balls for a quarter of a dollar ; and even a postoffio^^ private, of course ; — and all these accommodations in tents, with the American colors fluttering in the fresh mountain breeze upon the BherifTs canvas abode.
