Not by any means, Mr.. Punch We were
acting a tragedy for our own amusement.
Win you come in and witness the last? -
Not much, l reckon uuttered Peter,
as he put in his best jumps for home.
Peter was finally disgusted with himself.
The next day he mounted his wagon
again for a peddling tour. lie was plainly
never intended for a hero, or anything but
peddler.
He took an unfrequented road, which
led along near the sea. woman WAS at
some distance in the water seemingly strug-
CLING for her life.
Peter knew by the hat she wore that it
was Miss Delong.
Peter Punch, You are in luck at last,
Miss Delong is drowning and you must
save her. l hope she'll swoon just as l
reach her, and wake up to find me bend
ing lovingly over her and chatting her
about acted.
As he talked thus, Peter was plunGing

At this junc.urc, 5wo elderly Ladies'

one Of them sternly.

Mail Matters.

Following are extracts from letters by Hon. R. c. Mccormick to the editor of The Prescott Miner.- The first extract is of date March l and reads:
 The route from Hardyville to Prescott is relet for once a week. 1 shall make an eff fort to have it increased to twice a week, and l shall try hard to have service put on from Wickenburg to Walnut Grove and Bradshaw. w. K. Ferris is the lowest bid der for the service, at S744.
 Thus farthe department has declined to let a contract for the route from Prescott to Albuquerque, seeming disposed to insist that the service is unnecessary. l shall do all I can to show its importance, as l have often heretofore. F. P. Foster of southern California, is the lowest bidder
 have not yet had any reply to my let ter to the POStmdSter-General regarding the service from the end of the Southern Pacific railroad of California to HardyVille. CThe excuse is that the department has been too much occupied with the recent lettings. It is said that over 10000 bids were received.) The California represen- tatiVeS show no interest in the route, but sent you a copy of my letter in which l call special attention to the desire of my constituents. If you publish it you may say for me that so far from opposing the route, or being interested in any other and therefor untriendly to it, 1 have repeatedly requested that service be put upon it, and
 
 I made movement against It.
 Service was put on the route from Har- dyville to Prescott, and the pOStoflices thereon established, through my earnest personal eXertiOnS, and it comes with an i'll grace from any one in MOhave county to complain of neglect .On my part. I have worked for it's interests, honestly and ZealouSly, as I have for the interests of each county and all the people, whether living south or north of the Gila or upon the Colorado.
 The next is of date March 3 and reads:
 Since writing you, day before yesterday, l have learned that the route from Hardy vile to Prescott has been awarded to J. L. Darragh, at $500, whose bid was, at first, rejected for want of a seal.
 The route from Cerbat to St. George will not be let, but it is possible that the service from HardyVille to St. Thomas may be shifted after July l, so as to go from Ger bat to St. Thomas, (and so on to St. George and PiOche) It is reported that few, if any people live on the line from Hardy vile to St. Thomas, and that it is @ very rough road.
 have to-day, induced the Postoffice De- partment to award contract to w. K Ferris of Wickenburg, the lowest bidder for service from that place to Walnut Grove and Bradshaw, to begin July l.
 Most of the successful bidders are stran- gers to me, and the rates are so low that it is doubtful if you have as satisfactory ser vice in the future as you have had in the past.
 Messrs. Keren & Mitchell of Arkansas, who have the route from Mesilla to san Diego, assure me that they will put on service although their pay is much less than any one ever before proposed to take.

From Arizona,

The agricultural interests of Arizona will, we believe, receive far greater atten- ton than now at no very distant day. Will not some of our readers there send us some information with regard to the agricultural resources of that Territory, and what is now being done there in this direction? In this connection we are pleased to give a few extracts from letter recently written by a very worthy citizen, now residing there, to MT. Daniel lmman, Master of LivermOre Grange Alameda county.
 The above was taken from The Rural Press of San Francisco. THE CITIZEN is regularly sent to The Rural Press, and nearly every number of it contains much moro information regarding the agricul- tural interests of Arizona than the letter it publishes, and yet we have vainly watched for years to see some of our mat ter or of the other Territorial papers in that journal. The Press conveys the idea that it has no means of knowing anything about Arizona's capacity for farm pro- ducts, and yet for about three years THE CITIZEN has been regularly mailed to it, and very often the general as well as spe- cial yields of crops in Arizona; the various kinds of grains, vegetables, fruits, etc, which flourish herein; the abundance of pasturage and favorable climate for stock; as well as other relative facts, have been set forth in its columns. If The Press examine it's Arizona exchange or ex- changes, and note all that is said about the productiveness of our soil and the abundance of products grown, it will not have to depend upon letters in such roundabout way for any and all the in formation it needs 90 a full understanding of the subject under consideration.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Delegate Me Cormick has been for some time past endeavoring to procure mail service be- tween Delano, at the head of San Joaquin valley, California, and Hardyville, Arizona. He presented last week petitions of citi- zens of Arizona requesting that this service be established, but the Postmaster General has issued no order that adver- tisement be made, on the ground that the route is over a great desert, on which there are no settlements It is also un- derstood that the California delegation are opposed to the measure, and the people of Los Angeles protested because the es- tablishment of the route might divert some of the travel now passing through that city.

FROM The Sentinel of March 2S:

This number closes volume second of The Arizona Sentinel. For nearly one half of the closing volume, we have been it's editor and proprietor, and ale responsi- ble for what has appeared in its columns. There is nothing that we have written that we could desire 10 recall. Truth, has been, is and ever shall be our highest aim. We accepted the editorial chair with many misgivings. We have labored hard to raise the paperfrom the condition in which we found it to it's present respectable posi- ton. The Sentinel is now established on a solid basis, with a good, daily increasing subscription list, and a very fair advertis ing patronage.
 Col. Jas. NJ. Barney of the house of Wm. Hooper & Co.,, left Ehrenberg, for San Francisco on the 17th. We are sorry to learn that his late attack of pneumonia, together with too close application to busi- ness rendered him quite feeble, and sin cerely hope that his present trip will have a recuperative tendency and that he will soon return completely restored to health. Messrs. Wm. B. Hooper & Co.,, have dis patched during the week 30000 lbs. citizen and l00,902 lbs. government freight to diff ferent points of the interior. MT. David Neahr has dispatched during the week, 6G,000 lbs. citizen freight to Tucson.

TO-DAY we begin the seventh volume of the daily edition of The Union. The paper is now on it's sixth year, and has compIet- ed the third year of it's daily publication
 which was commenced March 20, 1871. The Union has constantly prOspered with the advance of San Diego, and to-day it reach es larger number of readers than any California journal published outside the cities of San Francisco and Sacramento. Its record during the past must be its pledge for the fUture The public endorse ment of that record is found in the steadily increasing circulation of the daily and weekly issues of the paper at home and spirit are the features which we have stead faStly labOred to make characteristic of The Union.-[San Diego Union, March 20.

STILL further accounts of loss of stock in northern California reach us. Yreka advices of the 17th March say that the loss of cattle and sheep has been fearful, and probably One-half of the stock in the county is dead. A letter from Linkville, dated on the Sth, says the snow is about three and one-half feet all over the coun- try, and still storming. Cattle were dying fast, and the sheep were nearly all dead, and some horses. Jesse Applegate lost 150 head of cattle in one day. After freezing his feet badly, he was obliged to abandon his herd to their fate, having lost 1900 head,- Sacramento Record.

s. W, CARPENTER was awarded the con- tract for carrying the mail weekly, be- tween Tucson and Tubac at SIT per an- nun, distance sixty miles. We have not heard of any one seeking to sublet it from him, nor do we know that he is disposed to part with any portion of good thing. still he ought not to be selfish when there are so many poor people that he could as- sist by coming to divide. It is the opin- ion of many that all they have to do to get on the road to fortune is to obtain contract, If this be true, then Carpenter is all right, for he has surely got con- tract. ftT3H lsss

REGARDING the Wheeler survey

D. cent Washington dispatch says:
 The expedition for geographical and geological surveys west of the one hun dredth meridian, of which parties under the charge of First Lieutenant Geo. M. Wheeler have been in the field during the last four years, will as soon as final action shall be taken by Congress, resume opera tiOnS in the field in Arizona and Colorado. One party will be designated to prosecute survey over the unfinished part of Ari ZOna, situated between the parallels of 39th and 37th degrees 20 minutes north latitude, and 1O5 degrees 30 minutes and los degrees b minutes longitude west from Greenwich. This vicinity promises a rich and interesting field. The work upon the astronomical base will be resumed, and such astronomical parties as the apprO- priation shall allow will be put in the field from the uneXpended balance. Such field parties as can be organized in view of the amounts available, will also take the field prior to the Ist of July. The office force will, as us5al, be kept in constant operation.
