The misunderstanding between the crofters on the East side of Skye and the Fr. c Church minister of Kilmure is becoming serious. The crofters have been in the habit of holding meetings to discuss the land laws in the Free Church of Stencholl. The landlord remonstrated with the minister for this, stating that when the site for the church was granted it was not expected that the building would be used for " Land League "meetings." The minister resolved (hat the cburcb should not again be used for such meetings. This gave great offence to the croftere, and the latest news from the disf trict is to the effect that they have resolved to disregard the minister's order, and hold their meetings in the church in defiance of it. Nation. Mr. Henry| George, speaking at a land conference in Cardiff, said tbe land movement wasspieading rapidly all over the world. Every wind of discussion would fan it. A local society was formed at the opeukei'd suggestion to promote the consideration of the questiou.
