Mc.

Adjou 3 Youne Mey’s CHRISTIAN AssociaTion.—The regular monthly and annual meeting of this asso- was opened with pra’ 3 Rev. Dr. Stevenson, "Tt states thatthe regular, ordinary operations of t t o 0 o the association have received due and constant attention. ‘The rooms have been materially improved by the erection, without the actual it of money by the association, of a neat partition, se- curing a ey = Dcley — from the — ing room an out passing throug! the large hall of the exsociation. = The of managers recently, on recommen- dation, established the principle that as a Chris- ey ee such sup; prom| le, wit! one ae tnd one periodical, ‘sre —_ recognized as the Tepresentation of eac denomination united In the association; and in pursuance of this rule a number of religious pa- pers, in addition to the large number otherwise received. have been ordered to their files. A number of other papers and additional periodicals of the very highest character have also been placed on file bed em by individual members of the board, and a most commendable spirit manifested. Through the public spirit of members of Con- gteas,and the courtesy of the asters of the Senate and House, a considerable number of daily Bewspapers from different and distant partsof the country, in addition to those heretofore received, have been placed, as they arrive, on the files. In the several nts, then, of religious weeklies, of periodicals, religious, Nterary and scientific, and of newspapers, the reading roem has recently received very valuable additions. ‘The board of mansgers at the last meeting also resolved to have published 1,000 copies of the forthcoming report, together with a somewhat extended summary of that for the preceding year; the bad economy of not publishing a report at the close of the last year having been so manifest as to leave no doubt of the wisdom of this course. The missionary so long sought for by the Asso- cfation, bas arrived, in the person of Rev. C. P. Lyford. of Steuben, Oneida county, N. Y., who reached this city on the evening the first day of the month, and entered upon the work on the morning of the 2d. This work he has since —— daily, and with unsparing zeal. He as prea~bed the gospel once, twice, thrice, and even four times a day, to those who otherwise could not have heard it; be has visited our mis- sion schools, and has addressed words of encour- agement to both teachers and scholars; he has distributed copies of the sacred scriptures as fur- nished by the American and Washington city Bible Societies; he has also distributed in large numbers the religious tracts and papers, and the ba tak per yr little book, as furnished by or pur- ¢ of the American Tract oer the pub- lishing establishment of the Methodist Episcopal Church, the Boston Tract Society, and the Mas- sachusetts Sabbath School z The present de) rot So the Assocation is, for the present, at Mr. ityne’s store, No. 498 Seventh street, where those who would aid in this important work are requested to leave their names and donations. The following resolution, connected with this same general work, adopted at the last meeting of the Association, has been brought to the atten- tion of the superintendents of divisions, but no definite en has yet been made: “Resolved, That this meeting refer to the su- intendents of divisions for their consideration the subject of establishing without delay a lodg- ing house or home for news boys and others of the same class.” Mission Sunday Schools.—Two are in s 1ccess- fal operation, one at the corner of Sixth and N streets, meeting at ig bhp Pp. m.; the other on First street east and B street squth, mi at2Z o'clock Both these schools, especially that at the corner of Sixtn and N, are lculagly in want of reliable male teachers. Fourth, or Western school, is still suspended for want of a room. Cannotone be built? A member of the Association will furnish a suitable lot, for along series of years, without other cost than the pay- ment of the taxes. The prayer meeting at 7 o’clock each Saturday vores rg the yori inane erwards, is to be ri as a permanen institution of the Association, and both members and friends are cordially invited. ‘The pecuniary condition of the Association though without means that might be moatad- vantageously applied to extend its usefulness, is et tree from special embarrassment. One church uring the last month has made acontribution of $65 50, and three life members have been con- stituted. After the adoption of an amendment to the en ee an Assistant Secretary, the transaction of some busi- ness, an election was beld for officers for the en- ing year, which regulted as follows: President, lenry Beard; Vice Presidents, J.

He was herefore obliged to adjourn the court until Sat- urday next, by which time probably an arrange- ment would be made whereby one of the judges of the Circuit Court would take his seat as judge of the Criminal Court, as is provided by law. He also stated that there was not much business this term, there being only three or four important cases to be tried. Court was therefore adjourned until Saturday next.
