Healdsburg vs. Healdsburgh.

By Editor

SOMETIME since, we announced that we were informed by the Post-Office officials in Oakland, that the Department recognized the office in Healdsburg only with a final h, and accordingly we changed to using the name in that form. At our camp-meeting, we received the following information:—
  1. The village is incorporated by name, Healdsburg.
  2. That matter is received there from the Post-Office Department directed in both ways—with and without the final h.
  3. That the people of the place object to the addition of the h to the name.
  4. A letter from the attorney to whom was intrusted the work of perfecting the incorporation of our College, informed us that the addition was not necessary.
Although the information first received seemed satisfactory, we are over-persuaded by the array of testimony given above. We shall stick to Healdsburg hereafter.
