BE SURE THY SIN- WILL FIND THEE ,Otrr.—Considerable excitement was oc- casioned in town Friday and Monday of last week, through the arrest of some of our citizens, who have hitherto borne irreproachable characters'on suspicion, .of being implicated in the burglary of Inglis & Co's woolen mill on the night of September I6th. Ever since that, time the Messrs. Inglis have been on the look- out for the burglars, and their efforts have finally been crowned- with success, onlyat is to be regretted that some who were entirely innocent were subjected to very unpleasant experiences. It appears that John Inglis learned that Robert, Lockeridge,an employee of Scott & factory, had sent a closed box to a cer- tain house in- Blyth. This house was • occupie▪ d by a Miss Greening, a former employee of Inglis & Co., and a friend of Lac) kridge, and the latter bei g accus- ed of,and acknowledging to, th stealing - of gloves from Chapman's tann ry about this time, suspicion naturall rested upon him. While in Blyth looking up the matter, Mr. Inglis found that Miss Ida Dixon, of Wingham, daughter of Wm. Dipmhad been disposing of shirts underskirts, &c., -manufactured from the stolen goods. A search warrant was obtained for Dixon's houee,and while the search was bring made Ida and her mother confessed to the theft, at the :same time implicating Thos.,Elliott, jr., and others with themselves. Elliott was arrested and taken before George McKibbon, J. P., and gave bail in the 811111 of $1,500 for his appearance on Wednesday. In the meantime Mrs. Dixon and Ida made another confession declaring emphatically that they only • were guilty, and that the parties they had previously implicated were perfect- ly innocent. The stolen goods, about -390 yards of checked &fond, were still unaccounted for, when Chief Pettypiece made another search and found the greater part -of them hidden under logs, etc., at Dixon's home. Mrs. Dixon was arraigned before Mayor Neelands, Ida being allowed to go free on account of turning Queen's evidence. In her evi- dence Ida told a straight story of the whole transaction, and swore that her mother and herself committed the bur- glary, but that she was forced into it by her mother. The old lady was commit- ted for trial, but before leaving for God- erich Mr. Inglis laid information against her for stealing yarn from the mill dur- ing the summer of 1884. To this charge she pleaded not guilty, but on the evi- dence of Mr. Inglis, Constable Davis, of Blyth, and Mrs. D. Ross, she was com- mitted on this charge ale?. Mrs. Dixon's statements all through were hesitating, eontrttory and reckless --sometimes bewailhg her wickedness, sometimes de- claring her innocel4ce. She was taken to Goderieh the (Aar day. The con- fession of Ida, in which she exonerated young Elliott„was emphatic and bore every resemblance to truth. Her mother and yomiger sister corroborated it after- wards, and apparently without knowing of Idit's 'confession. When Elliott was brought up on Wednesday he was honor- ably discharged, there being not a tittle of evidence against him, aod the war- rants against the others implicated in • the women's first statement were stayed. The Dixon's have heretofore borne ex- cellent characters, and great surprise is manifested on all sides that they should have been guilty of such a diabolical crime. Ida is a girl of about 17 years of age, and ' was formerly employed in Inglis' mill. Mrs. Dixen is quite an aged woman and has several grancl-chil- • dren: Loekeridge, who was implicated in the first confession, was told by a friend that if he had any connection with the affair be had. better make him- self -scarce.

She was an amiable, estimable and clever young lady; and her early death is a sad and unexpected blow to her parents and friends. - —Owing to the number of accidents occurring every winter from children at- tempting to jump on or off sleighs'a St. Marys paper says: Drivers of sleighs would confer a favor on parents and their children too, by using the whip when children attempt to board, their sleighs.

A correspondent referring to the great wealth Of the late Wm. H.

He afterward purchased $10,- 000,000 more of the -4 per cents, and he had besides $4,000,000 in Government •31 per cents. It is said that his Gover- ment bonds tare worth $70,000,000. He owned in addition $22,000,000 worth of railway bonds, $3,200,000 of State and City bonds, and had $2,000,000 in manu- facturing stocks and mortgages. He • stated to a friend that his ordinary ex- penses in a year were $200,000. A Wall street man, --referring to his wealth, said: "From 4s:Goveynnient bonds he draws $2,372,000 a year; from railway stocks and bonds, $7,394,00 ; from mis- cellaneous securities, $576,695; total, in round numbers, $10,350;000 a year. • His earnings are thus over $28,000 a day, $1,200 an hour, and $19.75 a min- ute." This was a year ago, when his wealth was estimated at $200,000,000. Some of his sechrities have decreased in valne since then, but at the time of his death his fortune was enormous.
