Dedicattou OF . Church.

The beautiful little church located in the
Gath district in This county, and known as
Forest Grove, was dedicated on Sunday last,
the dedication sermon being delivered by
the Rev. DR.. a. l.. p. Green, who took for
bis text the l4-h verse OF the 9Th Psalm:
"One thing have desired of the Lord, that
viii seek after; that i may dwell in the
house of the Lord all the days of my fe,
to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to in
quire in his temple" The occasion brought
out an immense crowd from that sHd the
adjoining districts, together with goodly
delegation from Rot eTtson county. The
hardy soBs OF the Ridge with their wives
and sweethearts were present in force, and
so crowded was the church that several hun
bred person had to remain outside. Among
the many familiar faces of those who have
made this district their home for years there
was only one absent, aud that was
occssioned by illness. We allude 10 Cage
Wilkinson, Esq, who is one Of the
largest contributors 10 founding this church
and whose name hiss been 3 household
word on the ridge for the past forty years.
He is just recovering from severe attsck,
ard his friends hope to see him out sgain
at an cary day.
The services of the dedication being over,
baskets containing thu best Of the land
were emptied, table cloths were spread, and
the large crowd invited TO psrtake Of the
hounjful repast prepared for visitors.
Turkeys, shosts, lambs, and ia fact every.
thing tempting in the way of edibles had
been prepared, and the feast was indeed
worthy ofthe bospitsble people of that dis
trict, and discussed in manner hat Was
convincing of the appreciation OF allan be-
half of the good people whose generous
nature had prompted them 10 entertain
those who we're present. Success to the
new church and to the oath district.

Death of q Heroine.

The Memphis appeal few days since
mentioned that Miss Stevenson had been
stricken with fever, and made some touch
ing remarks in regard to her heroism, which
we copied. 1t now brings the intelligence
that she is dead: ssMiss Matte Stevenson,
the beautiful and modest young lady who
voluntarily left the comforts of her home
near Bloomington, Illinois, and came amidst
US to care for and nurse the afflicted, died
at the Wslthsll infirmary Friday, and was
buried yesterday. She came here stran-
ger, but by her heroic courage in thus Civ
ing up her life for the benefit of suffering
humanity, has gained Immortality, and her
deeds will go down to posterity as equaling
those of Florence Nightingale" The Men,
phis Ledger says of her. "a pure spirit
has gone to It's reward above. Miss Matte
Stephenson, one of the heroines of the pes
thence mentioned yesterday, died of the
disease from which she sought to save
others, at s O'Clock this morning. Let her
be buried in some sweet sequestered spot
in Elmwood, and at no distant day let q
pure white shaft be erected in her memo
~, to attest the gratitude of our people, for
whom she sacrificed her beautiful young
