Tae AssocIArIoS.--we published in yesterdays
issue the closing proceedings of the Baptist Associa
ton which has just held its annual session in this
city, In the discharge of our reportnrial duties We
had an excellent opportunity of forming an opinion
of that body and take pleasure in stating that that
oDinion most favorable one. We have rarely
seen as intelligent, dignifed and good looking an
semhly OF men rs that and never one inanestng
so continually the rue spirit of christian devotion,
and heartfelt anxiety for the prosperity OF the cause
OF religion, characterized their proceedings " Let
Thy Kingdom come-lhy Will be done on earth
in Heaven VS. the de sire which seemed TO inspire
every breast petYade all their proceedings, and go up
from every heart TO the great Throne above.
Some of the more prominent members of the bo "
were men ct great powers OF mind accomplished
scholars and elegant gcntlemen-ornaments to their
church and the country. The impression made by
the Association our citizens, OF all classes and de-
nominations, far we hear, very favorable,
and one doubt not, that viii essentially elevate
the estimate OF the denomination whose representa-
tive it was in the minds OF this community. With
the opposing influence Of predictions for another
church, pay the voluntary need OF this deserved
tribute TO the Baptist General Association of Virginia.

Fmsr AILEY-This dclectable avenue sometimes
spoken of as Primrose Alley from its ragranceis
dergoing improvement by the construction ola
cred sewer from First street to Main. The public,
who must have noted this with much satisfaction,
will be surprised to learn that the Street Committee,

be an Improvement the benefits ofwhch all will re-

are willing to contribute to the cost of construction.
We would suggest that they pay half and that
committee of disinterested persons apportion among
them the amount each shall pay, according to bene
eits arising.
