DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.
A very pathetic domestic tragedy has just taken place in Fatahan. A man named Chang was married to a wife of whom he was extra- ordinarily fond. The woman was taken sick, and all through bar illness she was carefully tended by her devoted husband. The illness, however, proved fatal, and, on the night of her death the husband, being unconsolable over his loss, went upstairs and hanged himself.

that the Sun On district contains a very tur- bulent popalace, and therefore the presence of the school might afford a protegea for an untbrock.
