The Examiner. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 23. A COLONIAL CHRISTMAS.
Though the traditional features of Old Father Christmas have undergone such a magic transformation in the colonies; though he comes to us with an aureole of sunshine round his head instead of with icicles for his beard; though the Yule log and snap-dragon may seem out of date, and even plum pudding and mince piesjscarcely seasonable, it is questionable whether there ever was a time in the world's history or a place on the earth's surface to which th« spirit of Christmas ought to be more weicpjM_Jhan__thiß .jrear of grace ' 99H^^H9BHBBH^BI^HH9H^BiHL

The settlers in the Manga-atua Valley are trying for the third time to get sufficient cows guaranteed for the establishment of a creamery. We trust they will be successful on this occasion.
In connection with the foregoing, a petition to the County Council is being numerously signed, also for the third time, asking that the Pinfold Eoad extension be completed. Now that Mr McCormick is representing this district in the Council, we are certain that the settlers will receive justice at his hands, and that this long-felt want will be attended to.
