In responding to the toast of the Superintendent at the notably disgraceful Timai'U railway banquet, his Honor neatly said:—" He (Mr. Kolleston) felt proud that day in being present amongst a prosperous, but he would not say a partially discontented, but he would say in no Dart of-the Province was there a more discontent eel people. He believed it was the outcry of the thrift and prosperity of the people themselves. He was proud to praside over discontented people, as he believed that progress and discontent went together. He would be sorry to see them contented, for if they were there would be no progress. There was no part of the Colony that was in such a flourishing condition as South Canterbury, and the reason was because it wjiS discontented in order to obtain its rights, and work its way in the march of progress. He hoped South Canterbury would continue as prosperous and discontented as they were now. John Forster, biographer of Charles Dicken, is dead.
