y DhBoLICAL OuTRAGE.-Last Saturday eve
ming, little before eleven o'clock, some ruf.
fan threw a bottle of oil of vitrol through the
open window of the house No. 60 North Main
street, owned by Misses, Man, and occupied
by them and then brothers The bottle struck
the chimney with lin few feet of one OF the la
dies who was sitting on the sofa. Fortunate
ly and very singularly the bottle did not break,
and no injury was done. The window was o.
pen and persons were talking i'll the room
loud enough to be heard in the street, and
there can be no doubt that the william intended
murder, or at least understood very well that
murder might be the consequence. This is
the second attempt that has been made upon
the lives of the inmates of that house. We

deeper sensation in The community, and we
trust that this will lead to the most vigorous mea-
sures for detecting the offenders. Every clt-

Man is one of the complainants for violations
of the license law, and these repeated attempts
are naturally supposed to be connected with
that circumstance. Jour.

\ TAXING TuRSs At THE TEAT.-Somc of
the beauties of the way Democracy rotatcs its

ed paragraph from the Tribune's Washington
correspondence
/ Mr.. Minister lngersoll, now at Russia, makes
