Attacked by Wolves.

About ten o’clock last Satuoflty night, as Mr. Miner, of the Town of Langolns Benton County, was driving from his own house to Mr. Morrill’s, having with him hie wife and throe children, he was attacked by five large timber wolves The fierce beasts sprang at his horses, and when Mr. Miner struck at the nearest one with

hia whip It made a leap to get to him, | bull struck against, the wagon-box. At this moment Mr. Miner’s dog bravely attacked the wolf, and was set upon by the whole pack and killed, and almost devoured. This gave Mr. Miner an opportunity to whip up his horse, and make off, which ho did at a full gallop, calling out loudly for help. His cries attracted the attention of Mr. Jocelyn and family, who came to the rescue, and tiie wolves were driven off. But for the fortunate interference of the do£ the result might have been much more serious. An attack of this kind, I by Wolves, is almost without precedent; in this part of the State, and it must be that the animals wero driven to it by ravenous hunger.— St. Clowl (Minn.) Journal.
