From THE "NortH-Civa Dai News" er Feprvary 18, 1871
It would no doubt be a intelligent thing on the part of the Chinese, to adopt the same date for their New Year that Western nations have agreed upon; but there is also a great advantage in the maintenance of the present arrangement. It ensures two New Year holidays instead of one. In Order that our staff may have their al holiday on the present occasion, we propose not to publish the "N.-C Daily News" on Monday or Tuesday mornings, Our next paper will be on wednesday.
