evening, two young men walking by the

a blaze of fire at the south end door OF
the house. On approaching it, they
found the lower part Of the door horn;
through, and the castings nearly consum-
ed several inches from the bottom--the
fire was Immediately extinguished. On
entering the house. a cask Of gun pow
der was discovered on the floor, near
The centre of the steeple, at the north
end OF the house, and trail of powder
from the caslI through the aisles to the
south door, and within a few inches of
the fire, when discovered. Had the
fire continued to burn few minutes
longer, the design of the incendiary
would have been accomplished. No
circumstances have yet come TO light
sufficient TO attach suspicion TO any par
ticular person but il is earnestly hop
ed that SO daring and nefarious deed,
will not long remain undiscovered and
unpublished.
