Notice to Subscribers A Special CHRISTMAS SUPPLEMENT will be issued to tire Regular Subscribers to this Journal. It will contain a series of Christmas Stories, each complete in itself, and illustrative of Colonial life. The names of such authors as Marcus Clarke, Donald Cameron, Richmond Thatcher, G. A. Walstab, and Frank Morlcy arc a guarantee of their interest. The original poetry column embraces some happy thoughts by Australian bards, and includes a piece iemarkable for its touching simplicity and pathos, entitled, “Christmas in the Splitters’ Camp,” by H. Kendall, the gentleman who carried off the honors for the Melbourne Exhibition Cantata. The Supplement will be embellished with two large and well executed engravings iliustrative of incidents in the tales, and altogether we believe it will be found most entertaining and attractive.
