Attempt at murder with an "Infernal Machine."

Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 11.

--There was a diabolical attempt to destroy the family of Augustus Hoevier, a well known citizen of Laurenceville, by an ‘"infernal machine,"’ Saturday night. The machine was placed on the window sill, and fired by means of a fuse.--The whole front of the building was shattered by the explosion, which was as loud as the discharge of ordnance. Several bullets struck in different parts of the room in which the Hoevler family were sleeping, but all miraculously escaped injury. There is no clue to the perpetrator of the flendish act.
