EXTENSIVE THIEvING. In Difference
to the expressed wishes of those engaged
in terreting out and arresting the parties
concerned in the transactions below men
toned, we have refrained for few days
past from mentioning the following facts
as they came to our knowledge. As the
Courier, however, in violation, as we I'M
derstand it, Of such wishes, has given
publicity TO the matter, no considerations
of defeating the ends of justice by pre-
mature publication are now of any avail,
and we give the facts as follows
Six persons have been arrested, charged
with stealing articles from the cars their
names are John Ambrose, Charles Pear
sons, L. l.. Pearsons, Tim Smith, James
Melvin, and Daniel Talbot, These all
belonged in this place, and We're all ar
ested here except Talbot, who was taken
in Burlington.
Messrs. Simonds and Green have been
on the watch for the last three Weeks, and
having become satisfied that they were On
the track, they, or sheriff Field for them,
sent for Mr.. 5. V. r. Brsyton, New
York railroad detective, TO come to their
aid. On searching the houses and barns
of some~of these men, they found carpet
ng, cotton cloth, flannel, silks, hoop skirts,
boots and shoes, leather, tea, corn, cheese,
| and other articles, amounting in all to not
less than $1,000 in value. Some Of these
men being watchmen about the depot, had
| good opportunity to plumber from ears
| that stood there during the night. The
| officers Of the roads deserve great credit
for the promptitude aud efficiency with
| which they have acted in this matter.
We learn that Charles Pearsons was
| bound up to answer IN the County Court
in the sum of 5000, and committed in de
fault. Larnard L. Pearsons, in default OF
$500 is in the same situation. John G..
Ambrose $500, in the same stuation.--
Timothy Smith and James Melvin in de-
| fault Of $500 bail were committed, and
their examination continued till Dec. A.
Daniel Talbot gave bail in the sum oil
$500, and his further examination was
continued till Dec. 4.
GREAT SUCCESS IN RECRuITING.-
Walton's journal says, "We are author
lied to state that the quota of Ludlow is
secured" Good for Ludlow. But how
large was the quota Of Ludlow 2 ONE
Tremeajuce We expect to hear soon
that the quota of st. George is made W
also. Having been so successful on ths
last call, we hope Ludlow will fall to ant
make up the deficiency on the draf
which Is only II. -- Burlington Ere
Press.
The statement which has been CREDITED
| TO Walton's Journal appeared originally il
this paper. We supposed we had goot
authority for saying that the whole quota
of Ludlow, thirteen in number was a
good as made up. We have ascertaineC
that sic men have been actually recruited
there, and the rest we presume will b.
forthcoming. Now Mr.. Free Press, W,
hope you will be perfectly free and pres,
out your "juceh as many times as yoI
can get up the secretions.
