HEALING SPRINGS. August Il. 1870

Ih.r are few places where health and
j.rt,u;n are - Charnin"ly combined as ut
'h~ Ilr'nE. The scenery of this famous
Warm >IIug> Valley is unsurpassed in the
.uouu,-n>. while the hotel here and its
,guu.wjng cottages make a very plea
~. -rn"ral effect. The bathing fl
r.Ltt"> are very fine, and the effects
'rr sr. speedy and very marked. The
roH4Hy here now are very sociable
cad llaI>ant, and the polite managers spare
~" pains 10 render their guests comfortable
nd happy. Last night there were in the
Bathroom t0Jiednr, gotten up for the free
entertainment Of the guests. Everything

The scene was so natural that this sprightly

took il all seriously, and complained very
heavily that they would not give her what

irc!.
The "picturc galleries" were exquisite,
and completely deceived many of the COM
pany. who thought that the studio of some
master artist had furnished paintings for
The occasion. " Blue Beard" and Gipsey
scene" were very much admired and
londly applauded, while Ono Cross, no
CROWN" was faultIesS in its representation,
however we may question the orthodoxy OF
H., theology. The Statud'y was, perhaps,
The rrowning success of the evening. We
regret that we have not space for more
minute description of this entertainment,
which reflected the highest credit on all
concerned. and was source Of great graft
icatlon TO all present.
The Valley Baptist Association is still in
session al the church which is located here.
This afternoon several other visiting
ministers were reported, among whom we
noticed Rev. DR.. w. L. Broaddus, "the
Inevitable secretary; Rev. j. A. Cham
hiss, Of Richmond kew. IT. Hume, ST., OF
Portsmouth. and Rev. Il. Hume, DR., OF
panvila. Rev. Fl. d. D. Stratton offered a
resolution strongly commencing the foreign
mission work to the churches. Rev. DIR.
james B. Taylor. corresponding secretary,
made IN encouraging and deeply Interest
ing statement in reference to the foreign
missions Of the Southern Baptist ConYen-

tn motion of Rev. q. Gray, the Assocla-
ton passed resolution strongly commend
my the education Of soldiers orphans under
he economic and efficient plan OF the COM
iHjttrc Of which Rev. DR.. Broaddus is cor
spending secretary. DR.. BroadduS was,
o.! course, on hand to advocate this cause,

D. siecci, the people interrupted him TO
farce money upon him. The friends of sol
dirrs' orphans owe DR.. Broaddus lasting
ttrh' OF gratitude for the economy, wisdom,
ana mtiring energy with which he has pro-
secuted this noble work.
II The Doctor could see the above sem
l"nce liz would probably say, "Well! let
them pGg the debt by sending me at Frede-
Eick,burg contribution for the orphans.]
Tonight Rev. DR.. PoindeXter preached
an able and telling sermon, in which he
contrGt"d Saul the Pharasee with Paul
