master, and made satisfactory arrange
ments for receiving the mail on its arrival
from Reading, and on Monday morning
the mail was so delivered and arrived in
Weaycrville at P. M.-four hours earlier
than usual. But on Tuesday morning the
Shasta p. NJ. refused to deliver the mail
unti o'clock, giving as reason that the
people of that place objected to him doing
so. These facts we learn of Mr.. Majors.
Now. we of Weaverville don't want any
quarrel with our Shasta neighbors, but
W. do want our mail and expIess just as
soon as we can get it, and therefore object
10 its being detained in Shasta from three
TO four hours whan the Contractor is will
Ing to bring it through without such de-
lay. Accordingly petition signed by
every person solicited, stating our griev-
ances, has been forwarded to to the prop
er Postal authority, and we have no doubt
but that our mail will be forwarded with
out the unnecessary delay mentioned, as
SON as matters are Investigated. A daily
line of stages is now run from Reading to
Weaverville, under the new management
aid whenever the mails can be obtained
at Shasta on the arrival of the stage from
Reading, passengers will come direct to
W, averville, arriving here about o'clock
In the afternoon.
