Measures Taken for the Relet of the Poorer Families. Th Hebrews of this country hao an honorable record as the support supporters - ers supporters of their own poor and helpless people. Leading members of their faith have been considering for two or three years a project for helping their poor co-religionists to the owner ownership - ship ownership of rand, and this plan was July 10, though not without oppositlcnt adopted by the Hebrew Convention which has been in. session in New York City. The resolution adopted by the Convention authorizes a com. mittee of five persons to ob'.aln land, farming inplements and money for the settlement of Hebrew families, who are to occupy a tenants, without charge, for seven years, when they may buy the land at a valuation. Several tiacts of land were offered a gifts to the committee before the Con- veution adjourned. The experiment thus begun is of corsiderable interest, and we shall watch its progress t ith a sincere da- sire that it may succeed. There is at this time a very general movement in all parts of this country toward the land. which is nne of the most promising signs of a prosperous future. Tha hazards and yicisitudes tt city lif become greater as populat on jrowg more dense and the piofits of busi business - ness business smaller and less certain, and pru prudent - dent prudent men more and more look to a foothold upon the land as the only real security for their families. The greatly increased sales of land by AVestern laud grant railroads during the last two or three years show how active is this spirit of removal from. the cities to the country. Undoubt edly organized effort, such as is pro posed by the Hebrew Convention, may be made to add gTeatly to tha comfort and security of suh a trans transfer - fer transfer and change of occupation. "Wo see io force in the objection raised against Jewish colonies; the settle ment of a country district by persons holding Uic same re igious faith is not only eminently proper, but con ducive to their happiness and pros. perity, and church settlements have bsen successfully made in Tarioua parts of thii couctry ever since tha Maj-f lower brought ovr her congre gation of rurilans.-A"w Turk Her - tld. A Xew Substitute for Lnstber. A gentleman of Bushnell, Illinois, recently exhibited some samples of umber that have attracted much at- teuticn among the lumber men, and if it possesses all the virtues that are claimed for it, is certainly one of the most important inventions of its kind ever brought to notice. If it is a suc success - cess success it will form a new era in the art of building. To make hardwood lumber out of common wheat straw with all effects of and finish whrch ii obtainable on the hardest of black walnut and mahogany at as little cost as clear pine lumber can b made up for, is the claim of the in- entor, and the samples which ho produces would go far toward veri verifying - fying verifying his claims. The process is as follows: He takes ordinary straw board ; such as is usually manufac manufactured - tured manufactured at any paper mill is used for the purpose. As many sheet, are aken as are required to make tha thickness of lumber desired. These heets are passed through a chemi cal solution which softens up tha fiber and completely saturates it. The whole is then passed through. succession of rollers, dried and ardened during the passage, as wefS as polished, and then comes out at the other end of the machine hartV dry lumber, ready for use. The in- " eutor claims that the ehemieal pros- pert ies hardening in the fiber entire entirely - ly entirely prevents water-soaking1; and ren ders the lumber combustible ontv- a very hot fire. The bnrdensd' finish otr the outside a to makes it mpervious to water. The samples- oi exhibition-could la - IV be told from hard wood lumber and in saw sawing - ing sawing it the difference could not be de tected. Immigration to America. New Youk, Jufy 22d. Foreign mmigration to this port continued " at the rate of 3,000 weekly. A note- orthy feature is the large propor tion of Germans and Russians, all of horn immediately push westward. - he arrivals this season so far are a very superior class of emmigrauts. An inenndiavy tire at Oneida, New York, Tuesday, destroyed Josrph Roberts' knitting mill and eigh small smaller - er smaller buildings. Less, f 60,000; imuzi ance, il,000.

SK.1I l-W EF.KLY KIHTIOX. Saturday July 2, 1H79. WANTS TO COME IN. A New Brunswicker who Favors Annexation. A public meeting was held recent ! at Xewcastle, X. B., at which resolu tions were presented favoring the annexation of Canada to the United States. The individual who had th temerity to offer the resolutionsjwas denounced as a traitor, and a rote of censure was passed on him. Mr. Scofield, the annexationist is a prom inent JSew Brunswicker, and in sup port of his position he said: Our Finance Minister now informs us, that onr obligations, to the amount of $40,041,211 will mature. and must be provided for at different periods, w ithin the ensuing six years, aud when he froes on a borrovinr expedition for this and the sums re quired for the public works under way (which he will be required soon to do), what answer can be given the London money lenders when asked for a statement of liabilities and as sets ? V ill he tell them that our 1111 ports exceeded our exports ?2'20,00O 000 iu the last six years, and that we have nothing whatever to show for it ? "Will he tell them that we are in. debted to BritishVapitalists $140,000 000 and all we have to show for it is the Iiiter-Colonial railway, which falls short half a million dollars a year to pay its working expenses, and a few other worthless railways for local traffic in the eastern provinces, which do not averatre the usual cost of ruunius them? AVill he tell them hat we have the most magnificent canals in the world, and notwith standing they were never used to a tenth oi their capacity, we are now in the market borrow ing $30,000,000 to enlarge lliein for the sole advant age of the AVestern States of the American Union, and that at a cer tain loss to Canada of over $2,000,000 a year. "Will he tell 'them that we have already expended some $20,000, 000 of their money in building a rail waywhich is to cost $150,000,000, and which for general ions will not pay running expenses to secure the traffic of some 15,000 settlers on the Pacific Coast and assist in colonizing the northwest territory for the United States? Will he tell lhem"lhat we support a Dominion government i.h a vice resal court and seven proviu- cial legislatures to manage the affairs of a population equal to that of the city of London : AVill he tell them in the language of a correspondent, that " we have reached the situation wliea bankruptcy is doing its fright ful work all over the land; when val ues of all descriptions have fallen 50 to 75 per cent; when millions of the people' money have been swept out of existence, and no prospect of buffer times are in sight?'' AVill he tell that this is the true state of affairs? If not he will be deceiving them in such a way as an individual would oe liable to a criminal prosecution for obtaining credit under faUe pre pretenses. - tenses. pretenses.
