and it is becoming rather a serious ques-

The revenue receipts in July amounted
to about $4 900, 900 less than in July, 1852.
If the rest of the year should reveal q cor
responding loss, the falling off in income
would reach little over $50 1000, 900. This
is about the highest estimate made by any
one when the new tax law was under con
sideration, and q saving to the people OF
| that amount per annum, rs compared with
the last three OF four years, would not be
too great 1t is altogether probable, how
ever, that the record Of the whole year will
show very little falling off in customs re

nation was received to-day from the

away with five horse and cattle thieves
within the past ten days. Wade, Muir

shot. CulbeTtsOn, Stewart, Morris, and
Cane are In custody under an indict-
ment. Ii court fails to punish them,

captured aud indicted, and escaped.
The cause Of this is long continued dep
relations of the NOibrara band of cattle
and horse thieves. For years past they
operated with the bOldest impunity
among the heardS on the rich pasture
lands of the NiObraTa and tributaries.
The leader of the gang was formerly q
famous highwayman Doc Middleton,
and when he was killed it was supposed
that the organization would be brOked
up and scatter, but instead. it gained
strength and became more formidable
than in the days of its chief.
