EMIGRANTs FOR VIRGINIA Mr.. Under.
wood, Secretary of the American Homestead
Company, sends to the Evening Post, May
IL the following statement -
Two week ago, Rev Mr.. Loryiaux. n
Protestant minister of France called unon
me in company with Mr.. William K. Law
renee, OF Boston. to make some injuries
about land in Virginia. They were seeking
homes for the treedom-loying Waldenses Of
the High Alps in the southeast Of France
who prefer a milder climate than that of
our northwestern territories. | gaye them
as much information as | possessed in re-
gard to tho soil, climate and social condi-
ton of the different localities of Virginia
most likely to suit them, and of the protee-
ton they might expect from the Emiprant
Aid and Homestead Company. Mr.. Loryiaux
mas been to visit the state, and called apain
upon me to-day to say that he had secured
three thousand acres of good land for con.
eregration OF some five hundred in Mono.
gala county Va, within eight miles
OF Morgantown. the seat of the county and of
Monongahela river, and within twenty miles
OF the Pennsylvania line, at the moderate
price OF seventy-fve cents per acre. lie
thinks the report he will bear to the French
Protestants will induce many thousands to
leave country where their rights are but
poorly protected, and where land, of no
more value than that he has just bought.
owing to the crowded state of population
is worth from three hundred to five hundred
dollars per acre. Virginia, do not doubt,
will welcome these coutrymen of LAFAYETTE
possessing the faith of the IIuguenots, Of the
Jays of New York, and the Marions of
South Carolina

Business. The condition OF business in
the great marts Of the Atlantic coast con
tlnues to b. quito unsatisfactory, and is
declared to be dullcr than IN any spring for
the last seven years. 1t is stated that the
complaints Of the present season are not
caused so much by the deficiency Of business
as by the redundancy Of traders and the
ovcrsupply Of manufactured articles furn.
ished by the improved machinery which has
been brought into operation within few
years. These are altogether disprop,rtion-
ate to the agricultural products of the
country.

LAuNcn rroN LAKE GEORGE. Lake
George has steamer again. The place Of
the unfortunate John Jay, which was burn
ed last summer, is supplied by a new and
elegant steamer called 'Minnehaha, which
can easily make four trips per day through
the Lake, while the John Jay, which pre-
cedel her, could only make two. She was
launched on the 18th, in the presence Of
over a thousand persons, near fort William
Henry. Until the French and English war
in 100, the surface Of Lake George as far
as can be learned, was never broken by any
vessel but the bark canoe Of the native In
dian After the war, until 1915, naviga-
ton was not attempted.
Since that period three steamers have
been built upon the shore, which have worn
out or been burned, the James Caldwell, the

John Jay.
