Convention, which begins 

 /\fr«Wf^gyafmultaneously with the issue 

 nr []\u\j0m\\\ I of the Journal, gives every 

 e of being a great success. Every 

 quarter of the country is sending a man 

 of note to address the meetings, and the 

 invitations which have been issued 

 throughout the West to those who were 

 thought most interested in the delibera- 

 tions of the Association are receiving a 

 most hearty response. It is evident that 

 the friends of forest conservation are to 

 be found in every walk and vocation of 

 life, and that the active sentiment for an 

 immediate extension of the work of the 

 Association is universal. 



The list of speakers, even in its incom- 

 plete state, indicates the advanced nature 

 of the discussions. So far there is promise 

 from the following gentlemen: —

 Forestry Association.
