We learn from the Postmaster that the post office at Red River City has been discontinued. the key, papers, etc belonging to the office were turned over to the Denison Post Office on Saturday last. All letters directed to Red river city are now delivered from the Denison office.

The route agents on the Houston and Texas Central Railway stop here in Denison, now the terminus of the road. The cause given by the Post Office Department for discontinuance is that it is unnecessary to have the use of the post office at Red River City.
