ATTEMPT AT ARSON.

An attempt was made to burn the
scheol house in West Dover hundred,
by some unknown party or parties, on
Sunday night last. An entrance was
effected through one of the windows,
as the bolt which spans the two shut
ters was found broken on Monday
morning. In the center Of the room a
hole about foot square was found
burned in the floor. The cause for
such an action is not known. A year
or two ago the old school house was
burned to the ground and this one
built in its plao0. No arrests as yet
have been made, but we hope the
guilty culprits will be caught and have
the full force of the law meted out to
them. Such vandalism should not go
unpunished. .-DeIdpGredn.
