i last. Present. Guy Cochran in the chair,

hotnh by sickness, Ileber Ker was ap
pointed Secretary pro tern
The meeting was opened with religions
exeicises, after which the reports of of
ficers were read. President Cochran gave
a general review of the year’s operation.
The history of the Association has been of
steady growth. A General Secretary
had been employed part of the year, but
as the Association was not prepared lor
such work, he was dispensed with after a
few months. The next object of interest
was tlie building of a permanent home for
the Association. To the Building Fund
there has been subscribed in cash SI 1,000:
held by the Association lot, corner Bever
ly and Lewis street, §2,600; old material
in Lutheran church, $1,200; saie of twelve
feet of church lot $1.800—making a total
of $10,500, The Lutheran church lot,
finally selected by the Board, as the place
for erecting the building, cost the Associ
ation $12,000. The Association has bor
rowed the amount necessary to pay this
debt, upon the most favorable terms. With
the rent of the two store rooms on ti;e
ground lloor, an;] the increased reve
nues of tlie Association, it is expected
that the entire debt can lie liquidated in
ten years The §11,000 subscribed was
given by H)K persons, and It is hop d that
a more general canvass of the city will en
able Association to raise $5,000 or $6,000
additional. Plans have been prepared,
and are now undergoing revision, prepara
tory to beginning the work,
A new Constitution and By-Laws were
referred to the President, which were af
terwards reported, amended, and adopted.
A. F. Robertson has been appoin'ed to
collect the amounts subscribed to thp
Building Fuud.
The Association subscribed $125 to the
State work, at the Pittsburg Convention,
February last.
The following resolutions of thanks
were passed by the Board, February loth,
1SS8.
•‘To our city newspapers for their uni
form kindness and accommodation in pub
lishing notices of the association, and for
editorials advocating the cause of our new
building.”
“To the Hon. Jacob Yost for numerous
valuable public documents and books for
our library.”
“To Bishop Randolph and ltev. R. J.

The game Tuesday between the Con

of Lexington, was by far the best gai
witnessed here this season.

The Lexingtons, by good battery .work ai
sharp iieldiug, were retired in one, tv
three order.
In the second the Stauiitons wereblanke
Laird was given first on balls and wii
hits by Bowling and Morrison succeed!
in crossing the plate. Thus tying tl
score at this point.
In the third inningStauntonsagain tot

tically won the game in the fifth, in whit
they succeeded in scoring three runs afti
two men were out. An earned run 1
Figgat 3et the score five to two in Staui
ton’s favor. In the seventh the Stauntoi
added one, and in the eighth, two runs 1
their score. The Lexington’s advancii
theirs by one- In the ninth each ciub gi
a man aeross the plate; closing the gatr
with score nine to four in favor of tl
Continentals. The interest in the gam
never (lagged from beginning to end;whi
there were no brilliant plays on eitln
side, the work of botli was so steadily goo
that the crowd had ample room for a|
plause. Smith on first base was Birnpl
immense; but for that matter, so we

not a single hit being -made off him up t
the fifth inning.
Had there been no other feature in th
game, the catching of Eldred and Free

the Fair Grounds to see. The crowd wa
the largest that has witnessed a game her
since the Virginias played on that groum

Heroism Recognized.
Miss E. E. Alexander, of Penn., wa
the heroine of the fearful railroad disaste
od the Virginia Midland, near Orang
Court House, several weeks ago. Her sei
vioes to the dead and wounded were ex
ceptional, and evidence a remarkable sel:
1 os :ession and moral courage. In test
mony of the appreciation of her condttc
on that sad occasion, Mr. II«nry Hidet
representing the railroad company, mad
a speciel visit to the residence of Mr. Thoi
Williams, about one mile from Lynct
burg, where Miss Alexander was stoppin;
and on behalf of the company present!
her with a purse of $250.
Mr. Alex Ag»r, at t be head of a Iarj
stationery and paper business in Ne
York,who has been voting the Democrat
ticket for nearly thirty years, but is goir
to stop, tells why he will do so..ami tells
vyell. “Iworked in 1S47”, say he, “for tbri
dollars per vyeek. Under the protects
sys tern that followed I was able to i:
crease my wages and to become an en
ployer myself in my line of business. I a
not in favor of any proposition that wi
reduce us to the three-doilar system,agai
which, by the way, prevailed under fri
trade, aud which ceased to prevail when
protective tariff went into effect.”
To the Editor of the Valley Virginian :
The transports of rage into which l)ei
ocrat editors are thrown whenever a K
publican charges them with being fre
traders, is exceedingly diverting, but foi
perfectly unique outburst, commend us
the following from the Lynchburg Advar,
of the 21st lust.;
“The charge of free-trade against t
Democratic party, is a falsehood of t
first water, manufactured out of the win
'cloth
This is about on a par witli the mix
metaphors of the Irish member of t
House of Commons, who declared in t
course of a debate, that he “ smelt a ra
that he saw' him in the air, but that
should nip him in the bud.”
Respetfully,

THE MARKETS.
The grain market continues uncertain, on
account of the scarcity of offerings. There has
been no flour worth mentioning brought In,
and wheat, corn and oats have only been of
ferred in small lots. We quote wheat at 80 to
82; corn, 58 to 60; oats, 26 to 30. There has been
a spurt in wheat in the centres of trade, re
sult ing from a •‘squeeze*’ on the part of the
“bulls’* in a scheme to embarrass the “bears,”
based upon the reported shortage of the Ger
man and French yield. How long it will last
cannot be determined.
