Hosmer returned _ to Montreal on Friday from England and Continental Europe.

The emigration this year is heavier than ever, said he, and in parts of Scotland there are not enough men left to work the farms, while almost all the young men are on their way to Canada. The emigrants are of the best class, he declared.
