An ineffectual attempt was a few days since to destroy a meeting house in Granby, Conn. Two young men, at a late hour, in the evening, discovered a blaze of fire at the south end door of the house. On approaching it they found the lower part of the door burst through and the casing nearly consumed, several inches from the bottom; The fire was immediately extinguished. On entering the house a cask of gun powder was discovered on the floor near the centre of the steeple at the north end of the house, and a train of powder laid from the cask through the aisle to the south door, and within a few inches of the fire when first discovered.
