Arson Attempted.

A villainous attempt was made on lyednesday nignt, of last week, to burn Bendy it fyler’s store, in DeMotte, this county. A large quantity of shavings and barrel staves, saturated with coal oil, were piled against the rear end of the store, and at about 11 - o’clock set on lire. A daughter of J acob Troxell happened to be up late that night and seeing the lire, just !as it was started, gave the alarm, aud it was extinguished before any damage wasdone. Whether there is any clue to the malicious scoundrel who attempted this villany \jre have not learned, but it is greatly to be hoped, however, thftt he will be brought to justice.
