Moke Im™Micrants.—The Deputy Minister of Agriculture at Ottawa has been informed that the Icelanders who emigrated to Mani- toba and the Northwest in the spring of 1887 sent back $5,000 to aid their friends to come out. Two hundred and fifty are now on the way, and are expected next week. It speaks well for the industry of these people that they were able to save such a large sum, and it also speaks well for the Province wherein they made their homes.

Eastty Swinpiep.—The Miller swindle, says the Chignecto Post, was about as clumsy a scheme as could be devised for fleecing sharp business men, for the slightest enquiry would have revealed the absurdity of the swindler’s pretensions. The fact that Halifax merchants and others jumped. so readily at such a transparent bait shows. that shrewd city men are sometimes as easily duped as the farmers who yield tothe blandishments of shoddy peddlers or hay-fork agents, and proves that it is not always safe to take smooth-tongued strangers at their own valu- ation.

New mills, some five and others 25 stamp, are on the way from the manufacturers. The owners of the Graves Mine, Whiteburn, have just ordered a 45 horse power engine. The miners say the beds are inexhaustible. In conversation with Mr. James MeGuire of that place, on asking him why he did not put on more power and a large mill, we received the quaint reply that ‘the gold was safer in the mother earth than any place he knew of.”

Y. ivi. Cc. A, Proceedings at the Convention
Amuerst, July 29.
This morning Rev. Mr. Moreton gave a bible reading which was largely attended. The Convention met at 10 e’clock, Vice- President Beckwith, of Halifax, presiding.
On the report of the Committee on the Executive Committees report, a discussion arose on the best means to meet the deficit of $238, some $120 of which is promised. Rev. Mr. Moreton asked, ‘‘ how much are we to get here.” In 15 minutes $113 were subseribed and much of it paid by delegates present. This did away with the necessity of a publie discussion on the point.
A discussion also took place on the ap- pointment of a travelling secretary. Rev. Mr. Bruce contested that the matter should not be viewed from a financial standpoint, as the secretary has more than repaid the expenditure.
Mr. McLeod, late Travelling Secretary, took the same view, saying the field was quite large enough for such an official.
Dr. Kelly advised them to communicate with the Upper Province associations and endeavor to get them to co-vperate
in appointing one good man to visit all Canadian associations, spending a month or two in each province.
It was decided to leave the matter to the Executive.
Invitations from Moncton, New Glasgow, Truro and Pictou were received to hold the next Convention. Un motion, Moncton was decided by 29 votes against 27 for New Glasgow.
The subject of mixed meetings brought out lively discussion, and a resvlution was passed unanimously affirming that such were out of the province of the Association, and that meetings for men only were the best means of carrying out the object of the organization,
To-night the Rev. Mr. Moreton gave an- other impressive Bible reading to a large congregation, after which a service of testi- mony and praise was held.
The usual votes of thanks to the people of Amherst, railroad, piess, etc., were passed.
