Matson and Leymsn, as Attorneys
for the creditors, have filed petition
in Bankruptcy, in the Circuit Court Of
the United States, at Cleveland,
against w. s. Hickox, and Robert
MeMann. The object Of this pro-
ceeding is to subject their property
and assets TO equal distribution among
their creditors Mr.. Hickox, the
President of the First National Bank,
was arrested on last Wednesday
night, on a charge ofembezzlement Of
$500 worth Of government bonis left
In his hands as a special deposit by
Mr.. VIM. Bradley. Mr.. HickOx was
placed IN Jail over night, and at a
hearing before Justice Grail, the next
day, he was released on $500 bail,
which was furnished. While we
speak, our mind plainly in another
column, as to. the manner Of his ar
rest, which was disgrace TO our city,
we trust the charge will be pushed
against him, and IL found guilty, that
he will he given M more considerA-
ton than would be given commen

dainty large TO cover all debts, and

closed temporarily, Mr.. Sturges hopes
to be able to open them shortly and
proceed to work again 1.-THE Ault-
man & Taylor Manufacturing Com
pany OF this city, having sold all the
threshing machines they have made
during the past two years, and believ-
ing that the sales of next year cannot
be less than heretofore, have resolved
not to reduce wage, and not only keep
all their pr. sent hands employed, but
to employ one third more during the
ensuing winter, paying the custo-
mary wages, two-thirds in cash, the
balance to be held by the company at
8 per cent. interest until the close of
the season Among the more I'M
portant failures recently occurring in
this city, Is that of Hubbard Colby,
ESQ. Last week petition was flied
by Mr.. Nichols, OF Boston, to force
lin into involuntary bankruptcy,
and we presume that will be done.
We have not learned the extent of the
Ia bllities Of Mr.. Colby, but they are
large. His failure was brought on at
this time by large endorsements on
the paper Of Mr.. Hickox. His son,
H. Fl. Colby, of the Steam Cracker
Bakery, being largely involved with
his father, has also suspended, and
the bakery has been closed.--.-.-..Burg-
