A curious coincidence has happened to an ox-Welliiigtoiihui now on a visit to tile city. Prior to his arrival (says the “Evening Post”) he wrote to a 1 rierid asking that private lodgings should be sought for him and his ui.o. On arrival they called on the friend, and were recommended to apply at a particular house, here they “drew a blank,” and yet again at another place to which they wore refit red. Put this hast householder pointed to a little shop, and proposed that an enquiry should be made there. The shopkeeper did not know of a house in his neighbourhood the owner of which had rooms to let. The street he named was the one in which the travellers themselves had lived lor 20 years before their departure from Wellington. Further coincidence, the house to which they were referred turned out to be their own former residence. When its present occupant was accosted. she at once fed them to a room which suited their purpose. And the main point in the coincidence is that they found themselves installed in tin* very room in which they had spent tho greater part of their married life.
