CITY MISSIONARY Assoof ATfoa.-The Exc.
cu:ive7 Committee OF the City Missionary
Association have issued, an appeal to the
members Of the, several Episcopal churches
in this city in behalf Of its operations. seye.
raj years ago the Association began witt, the
Henrico Sunday. School Union, which com.
T Tenced at the foundation BY building up the
Sunday schools. This work increased. The
poorer classes were reached by the parochial
schools, and BY this means population has
become accessible which were excluded be.
fore. In the Episcopal Depository and Work
Agency work among the poor has been or.
ganzed upon the principle of, charity, sup.
plying remuneration for work in place Of
aims. Every year has shown progress; and
within the last twelve months enterprises
have been started and are in successful ope-
ration which though independent of the
CITY Missionary Association, and In charge
of the several congregations by which they
are conducted, yet may be said to owe their
origin and success to the spirit and new life
which commenced With the founding of the
Henrico Sunday-Scboo Union, and has been
m'tur,d by the activity Of the City Mis-.
slonary ASSOCIATION. The committee point
TO the mission at the almshouse, the Moore
Memorial church, and the two missions at

The joint committee of the two houses Of
the General Assembly on the State Library
met Yesterday afternoon in the office of the
Secretary Of the Commonweath--Mr Gill
mln, of Richmond, chairman of the House
committee, III the chair.
The Librarian, Colonel James Mcdonald,
made his annual report, from which We learn
that over nineteen hundred volumes, embra-
cling valuable works on Science, Art, Poll.
tics, History, aud General Literature. were
added to the library during the past year.
In addition, that large number of historic
IapcrS, maps, periodicals, bound volumes Of
newspapers, &c, were secured, principally
by purchase.
The Librarian speaks tn,epthusiastic terms
Of the State portralt.gallery recently estab-
lshcd, and enumerateS those Of the Cover
norS and other eminent Virginians obtained
during 1874. Messrs. Gilman and Finney,
on motion of Senator Lawson, were ap-
poiuled q subcommittee to examine the
vouchers Of the Librarian and 10 prepare q
report to the General Assembly.
The committee resolved to have q com
plete catalogue Of the Library made at once.
as the latest catalogue we now have dates
back eighteen years, and hence is utterly
worthless.
