 FUNERAL OF JUDGE KELsEY.-After ar- engagements were all made for the funeral of the late Judge J. W. Kelsey, which was to have taken place here in Prescott, at 10 a. m. to-day, it was found inexpedient, by those having the body in charge, to remove it to town, and it was decided to have the funeral at the ranch.

 Ryland's American Circus, SO unceremo- niously closed last Saturday evening bJ violent wind, thunder, lightning and a threatened deluge of rain, will perform on evening next July 2Oth. See their Advertisement. This exhibition will be benefit for Mrs. Ryland, and as she has been to very great expense, owing to the action of the elements, and been obliged to fix up twice and lose whole weeks time, ,s is hopod that she may be well patronized. The performance is sure to be first-class, and all who attend will be certain to be satisfied. Those who desire to take chairs will be provided with room.
 No MAIL YEsTERDAY.-The stage arrived ,n time, yesterday, but brought no mail, owing to a wash-out on the railroad be- tween Dos Palmas and Yuma. ! he train, stopped at Colton, although the track was clear to Dos Palmas, and thus failed to bring the mail as their contract requires. Floods and other accidents appear to be proper excuses for mail failures, when they occur on the route to be travelled by the nails. but when wash-out beyond the point at which mail is due occurs, il eems to be rather thin excuse tor not go- ug as far as the track is clear and in good ,rder. It will be the duty of the Postmas- CTS to notify the Department that the malls ,ould have been brought to Dos Palmas, but were not.
