The Christmas display of Shadbolt and Howan’s Butchery last night compared favourably with city shops. This firm have just imported another stock of German and Black Pudding. Charley Easton also had a pretty display in his butchery this morning. Main Street presents an ever-green appearance this morning, several bush ness firms having decorated their oremises up for the festival season. The different shop windows have a gay appearance, and business should be brisk, if attractiveness can make it so.

The platforms on all the carriages on the Government railways are to be fitted with gates, similar to those with which the platforms of the imported American oars are fitted. .

By this means the platforms will be much safer than at present.

A Sydney cable says:—ln his first speech in Australia, Admiral Fawkes stated that while staying with the King at Balmoral prior to leaving England to take command of the Australian squadron, bis Majesty wished him to tell Australians of the affectionate interest he took in the colonies and how much he regretted never having been able to visit Australia. The Admiral went on to say that the navy had done much for Australia since it was first discovered by a naval officer. His creed was that if the old country and her colonies were to hold together, it must be by one King, one language, one flag and one Navy.

“ What ia a Man 9" Such was the question put the Mayor last evening, when the civic head expressed the opinion that when a man was stipulated to do certain work, a man should be sent, not a boy. Needless to say, the discussion took a humourous turn, and when the argument ceased, the solving of the problem was but little advanced. Was it age? Was it size? or Was it quality ? that constituted a man ? The Mayor was forced to admit that some forms of humanity were little but good, and there was no further debate on tbs topic.
