Emigration from this province to the
United States still continues, notwnhstand-
ing the immense numbers who have al

of the people from brooding over the
general depression, while morbid mel
ancholy seems to have seized othels, who
are apathetic as to the consequences OF
passing events, and l0ok upon emigration
as a panacea for all their ills.
