THIBETAN SKUTORES.

They come at the most unexpected masons, and sometimes in very large bands, to dart upon (Leir prey. As they charge through the valley they keep up a continavus dirobarge of the matelooks, soiompanied with fearful yells. theit objest apparently being rather to frighten pascaablo dwellers than to de them positive bacon, and they invariably succeed. The atophords averímply torror-stricken at their appearance and hy in all directions, carrying with them only such articles as they can snatch up at the moment, and leaving de feminder to the robbers. The valley of Teltergorbon is zich is pasturage, and there are therefore mearly all the year large bowls of cattle in it, gathered from the neighbouring districts, the shepherds dwelling in tents. Tohorgorien also boasts a Lammeorai reputed for its medical bratraction.
On one occasion a large bedy of brigands dashed into the valley, and profiting by the padd and stampede of the shepherds, coolly formed s large enclosure with ropes, into which they strove all the cattle and sheep they could find They then visited the Lamasersi, bat fened if vacant, for the whole body of Esivas had fled at the first signe of their pressuce.
