TIE nALrrMoRE CONFERENCE.

4 This body closed its arduous labors, after
an interesting session Of nine days, on Thurs
day last, about noon. The convocation of
SO many Ministers of the Gospel (about 200)
in our town, has not, we hope, been without
its advantages. It has, indeed, been most
gracious time, and many, very many, of our
citizens, will often recur to the meeting of the
Baltimore Conference, in Staunton, because
of the pleasing associations Herewith con-
