Peioe to his departure from Chiltern Mr. W. H. Potts, whom we men- 
tioned in our last issue as having recently purchased the business of Mr E. 
G. Hooper, Bourke- street, Melbourne, was entertained at dinner, and was the 
recipient of a handsome illuminated address, of which the following is a copy : — 
“Dear Sir, — Although your residence in Chiltern has been but of short dura- 
tion, your fellow-townsmen feel they cannot allow you to depart from them 
without expressing their high appreciation of your character as a man and a 
citizen. From your arrival amongst us you entered most heartily into every 
matter of public moment, and while in doing so you did not in the slightest 
neglect your business, which, owing to its particular nature, was a public boon. 
In a city like Melbourne you will not only have greater scope for exercising 
your enterprise and industry, thereby, we hope, benefiting yourself, but you will 
also have a wider field wherein you will be enabled, by your skill and ability, 
to materially assist in relieving the sufferings of the ever-present afflicted. Your 
genial disposition and uniformly courteous manner, combined with the energy 
displayed in everything you have undertaken to forward, have won the esteem of 
all with whom you have been publicly or privately associated. While we 
regret your early departure from this township, where you have so fully 
established yourself in our affections, yet we most heartily wish you and your 
good wife God-speed, good health, long life, and prosperity wherever you may be.— 
Signed on behalf of the subscribers by J. Cock, J.P., Dr. F. Haley, J. 
Strickland, J.P., Rev. J. Moorhouse, B. J. Bartley, J.P., R. H. Carlington.”
