Both parties have nerve, will fight, and had not tho interference above referred to, prevented the gentlemen with blood in thelr eyes from shooting, there would probably have been coffins ordered for two. Go slow boys,
 No PosroFFIcE.-A facetious Postmaster living in Arizona, recently returned a copy of the WEEKEY MINER with the ordi- nary but quite unusual (so far as our paper IS concerned) notification that the paper was not taken from the office, giving as req son, that the person to whom it was ad- dressed, had "passed in his checks"-was dead-that there is no postofice where he has gone. There are great many people now living in the world, we fear, who will have no postOfiice after death. IL will cer- tainly be the case if they don't pay their subscriptson in advance.
