TO THE EDITOR O* THE *PBEsa. ,
Sib,—l saw in your issue of this day's date, a notice to tbe effect that Tuesday next, the let December, was to be observed as a General iloliday in honor of the opening of the railway. [t is possible that this is the only step the Govern* -nent will take in the matter. If we are to ba?e a General Iloliday, let us try and make it worthy of the name, and, considering the object, let it be one that our children can look back on with pleasure. Could we not hare a proemm? Jf [ you, Mr. Editor, are of my opinion, pleas* devote a little of your time and space to the subject. Your's, &c., M. Christchurch, Not. 25,1863TO THE EDITOR OF THE * FBIBS. , Sir,—l have been told that the beautiful poetry you quote in your impression of this morning, at" *■ singularly apposite to the present juncture at ♦flairs," refers to his Honor the Superintendent. If so, may I venture to correct the misapprehen* *ion under which you apparently labor, and to inform you that his Honor is in easy, not to say UQuent circumstances, and is entirely indifleitot as to the " hoot." lam, 4c, Mattes o» Fact.
