The Barre Association has received
great advantages the last.year from the
iabors Of Brother B. Willard, who has
been employed as missionary within it,
limits. The churches, although small.
appear greatly encouraged; and their last
session was one Of unusual interest.
The Danville Association is spread
over an extent Of country Of not less than
fiiy miles in breadth and one hundred in
length. The few ministers in this region
have labored hard during the last year,
and the Lord has seen fit to work with
them. A goodly revival has been enjoy
ed in Albany, VI under the labors OF
Brethren Merrism, Newell and Others
in protracted meeting. during which a
large number were brought out Of ma
lures darkness into Co.'s marvellous light,
so that this feeble body has become an ef-
ficient church. This Association greatly
neeis several additional ministers.
Our Missionaries in the Province Of
Lower Canada have had the pleasure of
beholding the Lords cause prosper in
their hands. A great change has been
realized in Barnston, and goodly revival
has been enjoyed in Eaton. L. Canada
IS indeed becoming an interesting and i'm
portant field. II extends from Montreal
one hundred and fifty miles eastward to
the great wilderness, and f,om the state
line northward to the French settlement
On all this vast field are found laboring
only four ministers of our denomination;
AMI but rery little evangelical preaching
ofany other order. Here is fine field
for those who wish to d. good A small
church was the last year organized in
Laprairie, with encouraging prospects,
No other field has equal claims on the
Vermont Baptists.
The Fairfield Association has been d.
vided, and is now composed of fifteen
churches and nine ministers. Three
churches have been added this year
There is a curcuh formed in the north
part that is doing something; but the state
ofreligion through the Association is very
low excepting Enosburgh, Fairfax, and
Fairfield, where We're precious REVEALS
A number more faithful ministers are
wanted on this ground.
The Onion River Association was re-
Gently organized. II is composed Of
seventeen churches, mostly in Chitenden
County. There are in this body eight
ministers, Two Of the most important
churches are destitute Of pastors, and q
number of the churches are In a feeble
state. A precious revival has been en-
joyed in Sterling, where twenty five have
been added 10 the seven who had stood a

also been enjoyed in Waterbury--other.

81. OF the Addison County Association, we
know but little We believe il is in 9
fourishing state, consisting Of thirteen
churches: that Il is doing well in benevo
lent efforts--has enjoyed some revivals o
religion, and had very interesting session
The Vermont Association is now small
ana in rather a low state. Its last session
was rendered very interesting on accoun
offs connection with the ordination o
G. A. Thomas to the pastoral charge o
the church in Brandon. The address,
ofD. Sharp on Education, and H. Lin
coin on Foreign Missions, together witt
the Ordination Sermon by D. Sharp, wer
deeply interesting to alarge audience.
In the Salisbury Association are eigh
churches within the limits of this state
and no special revivals have there bee
enjoyed during the last year. Most ofth
churches are in low state.
