Death of Dr. Ribton.

By Editor

The article from Elder Haskell in this week's paper on the massacre in Alexandria and the death of Dr. Ribton, will be read with great interest. We have anxiously waited for some particulars of this sad event, and we are glad that, by reason of Bro. Haskell's visit, we are enabled to publish an authentic account, given by members of Dr. Ribton's family. Thus for the present ends the missionary work of Sabbath-keepers in Northern Africa. But God, who makes the wrath of man to praise him, can turn even this to the advancement of his truth. We cannot see how, but faith trusts where sight fails.
The N. Y. Independent kindly advised our people to present the matter to the Secretary of State. But these missionaries were not American citizens.
