Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.

I HAVE just been informed to-day, March 1, of the death of our beloved sister, Cornelia Rice, of Folsomdale, N. Y., formerly of St. Lawrence Co. It seems she died about the last of October, 1868. A messenger was sent, at her request, to my house, some 35 or 40 miles, to get me to attend her funeral; but we were all absent, attending meeting at Olcott. She was a faithful sister, living alone as to those of like faith. She doubtless sleeps in Jesus. May her kind family remember her example and exhortations, and get a preparation to meet her at the first resurrection. E. F. COTTRELL.

Died, in Hillsdale, Mich., Feb. 13, 1869, of a complication of diseases, John P., youngest child of A. F., and Phedima Fowler, aged 1 year and 27 days. The bereaved sorrow not as those who have no hope.

A few remarks were made by a brother, and such consolation as the Scriptures afford was presented on the occasion of the funeral. W. B. CASTLE.
