RUSSIAN EMIGRATIoN.-The Canadian pa
lers state that the government Of the Domis-
Ion are negotiating tor a colony Of $1,000 Kim
san Mennonites, 10 go the Manitoba and Soc
katchewan country and help build the Cana
dian PACING railway. The Minnesota state gov
eminent, We notice, has also been making e.
forts TO induce this great body OF Russian emi-
grants to settle In that state, with a good pro-
pect OF success. The Mennonites are a sect sC
Baptists which originated i'm Holland during the
sixteenth century, and spread Throughout der
many. Some OF them settled at early period
IN Penhsy ania, where the sect still exists in
large numbers, AS also I'm several of the Adi0ip-
ing states. In the latter part OF the eighteenth
century, several thousand German MeBnonites
found quiet retreat in the south OF Russia,
and obtained q charter from the Emperor Paul,
granting them freedom from military service
forever These are they who now lookias
westward for homes under freer institutions ~
America. The climate and surface forms OF
Minnesota are very similar to thoseof Southern
Russia, and, rs il n the well-knewn tendeacV
OF emigation TO follow isothermal lines Miane-
sofa reasonably expects a large share OF anv
Russian emigration that may take place.

and things we're proceeding in the usual vsy.
when Miles Mansar, OF Coyington. XIV, filed a
petition TO be paid his dividend ON claim OF
$4,000, being an individual debt due by j. r.
kinkead. The claim Vas demanded out of the
assets I'm the hands Of the assignee. Mansar
held that a husband and wife could not De bust
ness partners, and that, therefore, Kinkead
alone was responsible, and that his (Nansar,.l
claim should be paid equally with the chairs
against the hrm so-called. Judge Blodgett,
after adyisement, delivered q dec isson in which
he held that married woman, as the Law nor.
stands, is capable of confr acting and being coa-
tracted with, and that, being az liberty 20 "a
into partnership with Others, she was surely en-
Titled 70 be partner in business with her Own
husband. He, therefore, decided that debts dua
by the firm must be paid BY the assignee after
which individual debts, IL a surplus remains.
