A Hangcbow trader, who had married a woman of a abrewish and vixenish temper who was nicknamed by the neighbour "The Lioness of Hotung" In consequence, sought solace by procuring a concubine whom he secreted else where and, as he fondly hoped far away from bis "better half." Judge of bis astonish ment and grief when, one day last week when enjoying himself in the company of the conce. bine, he saw the "Lioness af Hotung," accom panied by half a dozen of her own brothers and sisters, march into the house, and scising hold of his "caudal appendage" quickly walk him out of Rosamond's bower straight to his own house. Here the unfortunate fellow was ordered by his wife to stay in a room and "behave him- self like a good boy," after which injunction she locked him up within. While this was going on, the unlucky concubine was availed by epithets more forcible than elegant in dicilon, from the lips of the Lioness' sliter vixens and vagoes like herself, and an attempt was made. by them to force the woman to remarry. But Awearing that one woman follows but one hus- bund, ar a falkfal minister serves but one sovereign, the concubice flatly refused to maŋy agrio. So more by force than persuasion the concarbine consented at last to spilt the differ- ence by taking the vows and becoming a nun, which ceremony' was performed at a nunnery yesterday in the presence of the Lioness and her slaters. We have not heard as yet of the release from confinement of the "naughty man by tha Jemale gaoler his wife.

We had a heavy fall of snow during the night of the 6th and some rain the following morning. The first period of extreme cold, according to native almanner, commenced on Sunday, the 8th inst., and whether it be a concidence or not, there is no doubting the fact that from that date we have had the most intensely cold and bitter weather. The thermometer may bave muked lower than what it registers now, 5/7 degrees below zero, some say during the whole zą hours, but nothing could be more unpleasant than to face the strang north east wind. In fact the wind makes all the difference, for although it may not affect the mercury, It certainly affects the human frame, and animals generally.
A bowling match took place last Saturday between six members of the Senlor Club and six of the Unton Club. The rolling was on the alleys patronized by the Seniors, who won by 100 polate, which does not leave much margls for the competition on the other alleys where the Uulonists generally make averages of 200 points and more.

One of the foreigners was somewhat shocked lately by a sight which he witnessed in one of the streets of T'aiku.
