Professor S. J. Stevens His
Life and Services Resolutions
of Respect. With deep sorrow of
beart'we record the death of this em
inent christian gentleman, who not
only1 lived and died in the faith of
but has' long been regarded as Jesus,
among the ; lights of '.this genera-
tion, who possessing great 'powers,
and attainments devoted these sacred
ly to the honor of God and the best
Interest of his fellow-men. A few:
leading points of his life are all that
we can furnish and these we give just
as , we have received : them from'
another. . : ?u --. ;; i
!n Prof. Stevens was born at Clare-'
mont,NewHampshire';on the 26th of
August 1821, and died at Raleigh on
the26tiiof AprUi875.
1 He was graduated at Dartmouth
College In the year '1842. l( What hia
standing ias. a scholajr whilst at Col
lege was we da net know:
nor
is it
necessary we Should' know, ' since
in his subsequent lfe' he attained a
very high position in nearly every
department of sound learning. In1
the' Autumn after his graduation, he;
toot charge of a', school ;fbr . boys in
Murray. County, Georgia,- and
afterwards one of the kind - in
.Gainesville in that State., In 1844
he moved to Borne, Ga.f'( where!
he taught for sixteen .Years, one
half -of that ; time 'in 'connection
with the Rev. J. M. mV Caldwell,
who, had charge of a Female , School
of character at . that placet .In the
year 1864 he moved to SUtesvilie,
N. C, and taught for foUr 'years in
the Concord Female Collegel Thence
he removed to Greensboro, N. C,and
for three years taught In the Edge
worth Female Seminary! ' In 1871 he
became, connected, with, the : "kesars."
Burwell in their school at Charlotte
Female Institute, and In 172 tno ved '
With heovtp Raleigh nd with them
opened Peace ; Institute ' as one of its
associate Principals.' Thus it is Been
that the whole of Prof. Stevens' life
afte he left College and came to the
South was devoted to the instruction
of youth, male and female.' From'
the date of his entering, Georgia Im
mediately .after .his graduation at
Dartmouth. College, to the day of his
death he was entirely engaged in this
high andhonorableemployment. His
first efforts after arrl vi ng in the South
afforded sure promise of that high
degree of excellency which he at-
tained In this important pursuit. In
deed his whole life was but one . con
tinued success. The reason of this is
easly eplainedv .He possessed thosei

THE MECKLENBURG CENTENNIAL.
' 'Notwithstanding the' efforts of a

people to oentue tne approaenmg
cen ten n ial celebration of the Meek-"

it promises to beavery imposing nd

tion received here it is assured that
there will be an attendance of prom

Governor Hendricks, of Indiana, has
promised to attend as is learned by a
letter received here from him. .
The buffalo-gnat, which is causing
so much destruction among cattle in
tue soutnwest, is a small insect not
more than half the size of the house
fly. Which suddenly appears iii the
air by millions and settles 'upon all'
four-footed animals Within reach. A'
horee orcow will be iiterailv covered
tne animal will be found dead and
swelled to an enormous -size. The
bite is very poisonous, and the wound
quickly festers. Cattle owners find
that the most effective way of pro
tecting their animals is to cover them
with a coating or diluted tar, but if
that cannot be done fires are built
and the smoke drives of - the insects.
