Obituary Notices.

DIED, at Rice Creek, Oct. 3, Mrs. Hannah Briggs, aged 73 years. For more than 50 years she adorned her Christian profession by a well ordered life and conversation. During her last sickness, which was the dropsy, her sufferings were very great, but she bore them all with christian fortitude and patience. For the past twelve years she kept the Seventh-day Sabbath, and though deprived the society of those of similar faith, she died strong in the faith of the third angel's message, and in the hope of a speedy resurrection. G. SOUTHWORTH.

DIED, Sept. 13, 1865, in the village of Pleasant Grove, Minn., of Diptheria and Croup, Almon C., youngest son of Bro. and Sister Horr, aged two years and eight months. H. F. LASHIER.

DIED, at Concord, Dodge Co., Minn., Aug. 22, 1865, Emma A., daughter of Wm. and Ruth Coon, aged 5 years, and 16 days.

Also at the same place, Sep. 22, 1865, Genevra, only daughter of Franklin and Emma P. Walker, aged 1 year, 6 months, and 7 days. Both of dysentery. It is truly a bereavement to these friends, but they are comforted with the promise that their children will return again from the land of the enemy. As it was impracticable to obtain a preacher, the writer was called to attend the services. A few remarks were made upon each occasion to a number of attentive listeners.
