"There will be great doings this evenings at Jembaicumbene amongst the Celestial bodies, who are inaugurating the opening of a new Joss House. There is to be a monster feast, and the hen roosts and pigstyes of the district have been put under levy for the occasion, John paying large sums for young suckers of the exact obesity. The Celestials have extended their invitations to the outside "barbarians." "

The Sydney Morning Herald, 11 February 1861, p.2.
