might be allowed to take longer
time in their preparation and hand
the resolutions when prepared to the
Secretary after the meeting. Leave
granted.
Major Henry then pronounced an
eloquent eulogium on the deceased,
holding forth Prof. Stewards life as
study profitable to all to contem-
plate, whether he was viewed as a
citizen, man of science or a Chris
tian.
President Shearer followed with
an interesting narrative of the de-
ceased's connection with Stewart
College as founder, president, pro-
fessOr and benefactor.
The Hon. ID. n. Kennedy fol-
lowed, relating many instances of
Christian munificence known to him
alone, and concluded with the asser-
ton that the deceased was the most
perfect man as Christian gentle
man and philanthropist whom he
had ever known.
The resolutions since handed to
the Secretary run as follows:
Whereas, 1t has pleased a merciful Provi-
denee to summon to his long desired home
and resting place our venerated fellow-citi-
zen Prof VIM. NJ. Stewart, we, the Mayor
and citizens of GAINESVILLE, Tenn, in public
meeting assembled desire to record our sem
timents upon the solemn occasion resolved,
therefore,
First-That we submit with deep sorrow,
but with reverential acquiescence, to the
dispensation which has at last released our
friend from the sufferings and WEAKNESS
which he has so long sustained with heroic
fOrtitude and Christian resignation and we
rejoice in the confident belief that he has
now entered upon an eternal life of rest
peace and happiness.
Second-That we sorrow not for the de-
parted, but for our own loss; for the loss to
science of one of its ablest expositors; for
the loss to education of a most liberal bene-
factor and most earnest collaboration to
religion of a shining example and sympa-
thetic communicate; to humanity in gene
raj of tried philanthropist, and to his own
family of a wise and affectionate parent.
Third-That in the name of this whole
community we acknowledge ourselves as
the beneffciaries of that munificent spirit
which has influenced him to promote by
splendid gifts of money and moneys worth
and time and labor, the cause of education
in our midst, leaving us noble institution
oflearning and science as a monument TO us
of his genius and his virtues.
FOurth-That we tender to the surviving
children of the deceased the tenderest assur-
ances of our sympathies under their be-
reavement, assuring them of our brother
hood in sorrow, for have not We too, lost in
him friend and father?

The Third Quarter OF 1877.

4
With September 3lst, the third
quarter of the year 1877 reached its
close. In examining the statistics
of business, as recorded, very
marked improvement in quantity,
as was to be expected, is perceptible
in the trade in leaf tobacco during
that period. Below we give the
receipts and sales of hOgshead to-
baccO at all the principal markets
of the country from July to Octo-
ber /, which exhibits show a salts
factory movement of this staple.
Unfortunately for the lower grades
of leaf, it cannot be said that prices
have been equally satisfactory
Lugs and kindred sorts have de-
clined at a rapid rate, but other de-
scriptions, as rule, have held their
own tolerably well. For the depre-
citation of low-grade goods, compen-
sation, partial if not entire, has been
had in the impetus that has been
given to their appropriation. Un-
der the inspiration of low prices a
mass of material that otherwise
would have remained here, and that |
could be very well spared, was ship |
ped away, and nobody, presumably, |
is sorry for its radiance, unless it be /
some one who was imprudent in
the adjustment of his average i'm
the buying season. Possibly in this
event good will enure to him that
has cause to repine in the lesson in
culcated at the opening of the cur
rent buying season. 1t is to be
hoped so.
Reviewing the transactions of the
several markets in geographical or
der from July to October | and for
the preceding six month, the follow
ing details concerning receipts, sales
and stock on hand are revealed:

From thy side healing flood,
Be of sin the double cure
Save from wrath and make me pure.
should my tears forever flow,
Should my zeal no languor know.
This for sin could not atone,
Those must save, and those alone.
In my hands no price bring,
Simply to thy cross cling.
While draw this f1eeting breath,
When mine eyelids close in death,
When rise to worlds unknown,
And behold Thee on Thy throne
Rock of Ages, cleft for me-
eft me hide I1vSaIf in Thaa
