W. Pond, one of the heaviest mannfac-
turers of machinists' tools in this city,
has disappeared under very mysterious
circumstances. Last Friday he went to
Boston on business intending to return
the same night. While in Boston he
collected about 50, 500, but instead of re-
turning be telegraphed to his son that he
was going to New York on business; q
portion OF his clothes we're found in his
state-room, but the man, money and vain
ables are missing.

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-AWashington special
says the Customs receipts for the quarter
ending September 3Oth were $40 S52, 1884;
returns from ports not yet heard from,
may swell this amount to S44, 500 600.
Compared with the corresponding quarter
OF 1874 there was a falling off in the
Customs receipts last quarter of over two
millions. The Internal Revenue receipts
for September 1875. we're 50, 75l ,09G, or
more by $l250, 900 than in September,
1874; the large increase in the receipts
from this source shows that the vigorous
measures adopted by Secretary Bristow
to administer the laws and suppress
frand have had most beneficial effect
on the honest collection of the taxes. and
the increased rates imposed last Winter
will. in the opinion OF Commissioner
Pratt, add S12,0OO,0OO to the receipts
from the Internal Revenue for this fiscal
year. The Comptroller of currency, in
bis annual report, will devote much space
to q general review of all financial
theories; he will show the great antiquity
OF all the schools of finance which are
now under discussion in this country.
