river bank in this city, near the Tuba City
bridge. 1t was taken in charge ly the Cor

The deceased came down on the La Porte
stage on Tuseday last, and fellow passenger
identified the body A cash upon the fore
head caused suspicious of foul play, at first,
but the stage passenger testified that the
wound was there when Gwin rode upon the
stage with him. One witness testified to
having seen some person, on Thursday even
ing at about ten o'clock, run away from the
place where the body was, the next morning
discovered; but there being no fresh marks
of violence visible, and the one wound refer
cd to having been previously inflicted, the
verdict Of the jury was as above stated.

FAILING R,cK-The Ponv has hecor,

FAILING BAcK.-The Pony has become
very indolent. Long ago, when thrown upon
its own resources-when it had to rely for
its oats upon its own activity-it was as spry
as a deer, and made astonishing time across
the great Mediterranean desert; but now
that it is Government institution, it has be-
come a sluggard-a very sloth in fact On
Tuesday last, it came singing into this city
without ambition, and hardly bearing the
semblance of life, with St. Louis dates just
two days ahead of the Overland Mail. The
Pony brought dates to the 10th, and the Mail
which came in on the same train, brought
dates to the 18TH If it cannot in crossing
the continent, get more than forty-eight
hours ahead of the coach, it had better hitch
on to that institution altogether. In fact, if
the Pony don't do better thanit has done of
late, no one will regtet its abolition. When
it requires seventeen to eighteen days from
st. Louis, its services can well be dispensed
with.-Sac Bee
