doubtless enjoyed by all. Our stores,

Quite a stir was started here We'd
nesday last, by something that q little
darby told, as to q certain other dar-
ky who had some store things in his
house which are not often found, In
such q place. AS MI. E. r. Horton
and his clerks, had for Sometime been
missing different articles, out Of the
store, and had been making an effort
to catch the thief, upon what the little
darby said, began an investigation, and
Yves Burton (Col.) was arrested, and
this began the development, of the
most protracted and extensive, larceny
case ever known here. 1t was known !
before the matter ended that 1t had
been for several months irregular steal
ing season, Burton as soon as taken
confessed to having at various times,
entered Mr.. Horizons store, and taken
quite a number of articles Of merchan-
disc. He also implicated several 9th
ers. His house was searched, and q
variety,of goods were found. Then
the fun began, and from that time on
till Saturday evening. when the trial
took place eight or ten negro men were
put in calaboos, and in searching a.
round many goods of various descrip-
tions were found, part of which be-
longed to Wheeler & Speer.
