Attempt at Burglary.

--At a late hour last Saturday night the storeroom of Mrs. Radcliffe, in the basement of her residence on Leigh street, three doors from 5th street, was forcibly entered through a window, and most of her groceries and provisions moved into the front yard, ready for a wagon. Fortunately for Mrs. R., one of the ladies in the house heard the burglars, and opening the front window, called loudly for one of the neighbors, Mr. P. H. Gibson, and the watch. Her calls alarmed the burglars, who scampered off as fast as they could go, leaving all the articles they had removed, a large chisel with which they had forced the front window, and some few traps usually carried by night thieves.
