Of Portland. We have known Mr..
Hinckley for 10! these many years

lastly in Eureka. W. have always re-
spected him ss 4 staunch Sage brusher
and enterprising citizen, especially de-
voted to the interests Of the Base
Range and the late independent party;
but his course in this matter has
caused us to waver in our faith. That
he should torsake the fair daughters
of Eureka and deliberately seek the
EXTREMIST confines Of the distant East
to take unto himself a life partner, is a
reflection upon our home beauties and
u swindie upon Our local preachers,
which We can not cOn~scienciously in

and prejudice, We wish him and his
bride unspeakable Joy, and q speedy
return to the social circle of Eureka.

if he was responsible for what he had
said. The reply was.
