Vairdiotory —The notice whioh re* cently appeared in our advertislngcolumns in which Mr Lee Shone; bade good bye to bis customers and the jubHc, presents a fitting opportunity to refer to the ad* mlrsble manner in whioh the Chinese In this district have conducted themselves during the time they have lived here. They have compared favorably with the most gispectabie citizen, of Ashburton They have been honest and fair in all . their transactions, and no complaint has ever been made against them. Within the past few days one of them called on a gentleman in this town, and asked to be allowed to contribute towards the Chinese Mission, and we believe that this is not by any means an isolated lns uanoeof their recognition of claims for useful and chad* table objects. This tribute to oar celestial friends on their retnra to China ls only fair, seeing that a large aeotion of white people are only too ready to run the yellow race down and to magnify their faults, quite forgetting that there are bad characters of ever.? nationality. We wish Mr lice Shons. and his party success. All who wish to protect themaeive. from the results of a bad cold should not neglect to take TBS9ICUR4
