BURGLARIOUS ATTEMPT.
On Wednesday night an attempt was made
to break into the dwelling-house of Mr. H. Kable, who was then at Hawkesbury ; but from the noise at the window, the family
was alarmed, and the villains compelled to abandon their project. One of the windows
was broke close to tne place at which it was secured, and time appeared all that was want ing to accomplish the premeditated design. Though this attempt may have failed in its execution, yet it may serve as a caution to persons in general against a negligent method of providing for their nocturnal security, and precluding themselves from the possibility of
an unwelcome visit.
