Bigamy seems to be rather a favourite pastime just at present. We hear that in the country district of M. there resides a man who not only has two wives, but lives in the same home luith them, both. This pious disciple of Brigham Young commenced liis virtuous career by wooingand (it is stated) wedding a woman whom lie treated and introduced everywhere as his wife. Getting tired of her, however, our Mormon
friend went through the form of marriage with a .second "good lady," and conferred on his first spouse the brevet title of "mother-in-law." The three now live together like a happy family, but it is said the neighbours do not altogether relish the arrangement. Anyhow, the attention of the police will very probably be drawn to their menage.
