The matter was turned over to Easterling and Whitney. There were no letters of any kind found on Joyce. His name was known only by means of express receipts relating tO shipments Of cheap jewelry of which he was evil dently a peddler On account of the mangled condition of the remains and the disfigured state of the face il was impossible to furnish description which will be of great value to the Stockton inquirer
 A WALKING PARTY. - Henry George organized d picnic party the other day and drove down the river about five miles. He forgot of course, to take along the halters for the horses. so on arriving at the end of the journey he turned the horses out To graZe Knowing they were gentle and feeling sure they would not leave. he tied them but insecurely by the lines. When he got ready to return he discovered that they had slipped their anchor and were moving around at will. They did not take fright as he approached, but simply walked a ! little faster than he did. and acceler- ated their speed in proportion to his own increasing momentum. Finding il was useless to try to catch them, the 1 party walked to town. the horses l coming in quietly when they got ready. 1 Mir. George says that strange as il 1 may seem. while it was only five miles | out to the camping place. it was nine | miles back again.
 FINE POSTOFFlCE SERVICE. -l The Homeseekers' edition of The Re i publican has been handled by the | Phoenix postoffice in excellent shape 1 the great numbers of papers that were taken in the first | two days after publication. the desk | was cleared every night without miss ! ing a mail. Not only that, but the 1 clerical organization of the postoffice ! is such that everything possible is i done to lessen the duties of the rail- | way postal clerks and at the same l time give the best delivery to patrons. ! The mail is sorted so that where any | number of papers go to | one destination they are made up here | in separate sacks. For instance. the | special Republicans going to Chicago ] and New York City were in such | quantity that straight sacks were | made up entirely for many of the diff i ferent etstern states. so they will not | require opening for asserting until
