SHARP SuooTING.-Thc last California mail

able story: A stage coach was overhaulcd by
highwaymcu on a lonely road in Nevada county,
between Marysville and Downicvie, at four
o'clock on the morning Of May LIST, and robbed
of IS, 900 belonging to Wells, Fargo 4 Co
Within few hours thereafter the sheriff S
posse was started out in different directions,
and Steve Ycnart struck what proved to be the
right trail, up Yuba River. He followed his
lonely and difficult road alone, into q rocky
ravine, three miles from human habitation,
and saw at some distance above him, partially
concealed by rocks, man counting over money.
The man saw him, and Steve thought the time
of one of them had come, for the robber was
already taking aim when Vcuart fired.
Instantly another robber appeared, but took
shelter to fire; and when Steve saw the roof OF
this mans head he sent him the contents of
his second barrel, and having loaded anew, ran
forward to secure the booty before others OF
the robbcr band should appear confident that
two of them were done for. He had already
cot the money bags when a third robber show.
ed himself, still higher up in the ravlne' and
Steve now fired his third shot, which not taking
fatal effect, a fourth was fired, and dead
man body rolled down among the rocks. Steve
Venart brought the news of his adventure and
the SIS, 900 into Nevada City atS clock the
same afternoon of the robbery, and soon after
the three bodies were brought n-thc first shot
through the heart the second through the
right eye, the third through the body anu head ;
and the first and second when found were ciincll-
inc their cooked pistols. Wells, Fargo 4 Co.,
awarded Steve So ,0O0 and at last accounts
Steve and his rifle were lionizing in central

In conversation with an officer Of customs, yes
terday, formerly stationed at one Of the principal
ports on the Florida coast learned that profes.
sional smugglers have apparently abandoned their
vocation and resorted to more honest means to OBJ
tain livelihood. So Improbable has the business
Of smuggling become on the Florida coast that the
officer referred to has asked to be relieved from
further duty at bis station on the ground that no
necessity exists for the presence of United States
custom onicsr. He attributes the suppression OF
smuggling mainly to the energy displayed by Judge
Sargent, commissioner Of customs, in his indefati.
gable efforts to render nugatOry the enterprises o.
persons engaged in this neiarious traffic.
