WELLINGTON NEWS NOTES.
(FROM ODE OWX COBKESroNDJSXT.) WELLINGTON, December 21. The Premier has this year directed that the officers of the public service shall be paid their salaries for the current month on the 26th inst.
The Postal Christmas Card gives some figures showing that the service now comprises nearly 3500 employees, who last year dealt with more than 35*000.000 letters and nearly as many newspapers, books, and parcels. Apropos of Christinas cards, some novel ones—mostly of khaki cloth, written on in ink or worked with thread—have readied the colony. Two such have been sent by the M'lntyre brothers trom Fort Tuli (where they are serving with a Royal Artillery battery) to their father . in * Wellington. One of them bears a rough picture of their camp, and the quaint message of " May you be as free from care as we are from' pudding."
