Petersburg Library Associa ton.


We have received copy of the Fourth Annua
Report of the Board of Managers of the Peters
burg Library Association" This report sets forth
the rapid and steady growth of one of the mos,
popular and prosperous literary associations in
country 1t is remarked in the report that, under
the auspices of this institution, literary taste is
growing up, the influence of which upon society IL
Is impossible to estimate. Ten years ago there
was no public library in Petersburg, and even four
years ago it was rare that lecture was heard du
ring the winter. Since that time, the Library As
ISOLATION has furnished upwards of thousand
volumes to those in search of knowledge-an av.
erage of more than FIVE thousand volumes q year
having been thus drawn from the library. There
are at least twenty lectures during the winter
tended by large and appreciative audiences, and
an excellent reading room, the only one In Peters,
burg, embracing some of the leading newspapers
and periodicals of the United States and Great
Britain. From the financial statement It appears
that, after paying expenses, the association have
1881 q, which may be invested.
The officers of the association are Thomas s.
Gholson, President; Samuel B Paul, Vice Presi-
dent Managers-Charles Campbell, Uriah Wells,
John May, E. G. James, F. M. Wright; Libra
rian, Thomas s. Peasants; Treasurer, Peter F.
Cogbill To the devotion, fidelity and tact which
these gentlemen have displayed in the discharge
OF their duties, may be attributed much of the
peculiar success and prosperity of this fourshing
association

The arrival of General Walker at New Orleans
puts an end to the state of suspense As to his
whereabouts, which has lately prevailed. His
career is run-for the present. He is . man Of
sagacty, pth and enterprise, and will not be likely
to settle down to quiet life in this country.
We have probably not heard the last of General
Walker.
But, for time, the hllbusters have lost ca.
