our agent at Hamilton during the last
few months about the non-arriyal of
the SENTINEL OH time. In a very few
instances the fault has been ours i'm
not getting the forms to press at the
usual hour, hut it not unfrequcn.ly
occurs that there is growing from
Hamilton when all appears right at
this end of the line. So far as the Eu-
reka Pos,Ofiice is concerned, we have
reason To know that all business on
nected Herewith is performed prompt
ly and correctly. The White Pine
NeTs of last week has an article on
local postal affairs, which we are in
clincd To believe explains some of our
troubles in h matter of the non-de-
livery of the SENTINEL to Hamilton
subscribers a. regularly as is desira-
bic. Says the NeWs:
During the pas. few months mail
communication between this point and
all others has been of Il most uncertain
and crratic character. Joined with
the uncertainty of the mails arriving at
all, is the carcicS>ne>s and negligence
on somebody's part in dispatchin. the
same. As an instance of matters of This
kind, we Wcrc ShoWna batch Of Eureka

ON the Sth of the present month. and
reached their destination. Hamilton,
on the I'D instant. having been only
fourteen days on the road. This shows
that the fault must have occurred at
the POStOffice, and not at the news
paper IONS We have had many
complaints from our " sub
scriberS about the disposition made of
mail matter sent from this office. and
are decidedly of the opinion that too
much carelcssncss exists among post
masters. While on q visit to Cherry
Creek recently, we mailed Il letter at
Mineral City, plainly directed to Ham
ilton, and Were astoniShed by being
presented with the I'M letter at
Cherry Creek. it having been carried
thither OF the salmc conveyance as
ourself. There ought to he a change
made. either i'll ~rostmasters or in their
manner of attending to business.
LECTURE on JAPAN.-lion. Chas. T..
De Long kindly consented last even
ing to defer his intended departure for
one day in order to deliver Il lecture
this evening on Scoues and incidents in
japan. the proceeds of which will be
devoted to the aid of the sufferers of
The | tie disaster. The lecture will take
place ut the Court-housc, commencing
ut 100 o'clock, sharp. as tile gentle
man Will have to leave on the stagc
ut 9:30. The occasion will be a mar
ration of the personal experience of the
lecturer while residing in that coun-
try i'll tie capacity OF United states
Minister. and will be replete with use
full information and instructiveness.
To say that the Courthouse will be
crowded TO listen to the gentleman,
would he Supertluous; his personal
popularity would alone insure that,
and this. with the fact that the lecture
is given in behalf of the many home
less and destitute people, made SO by
the late flood, will prompt every one
to purchase Il ticket and hear the re-
marks by the gifted gentleman.
NOT RIFLEp.-It has been currently
reported that the money and jewelrv
OF the person of A. {. Latson, one of
the victims of Fridays catastrophe.
had been stolen. In contradiction of
the umo and in order that no SuSpi-
Zion should rest ~ any one of being
guilty of such desccration. We are fur
ni>hed the following, which speaks for
itself:
