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

DIED, in West Monroe, Oswego Co., N. Y., Oct. 27, 1869, our beloved daughter, Lydia Ann, aged 19 years, 7 months, and 16 days. From a child she had been of feeble constitution, and suffered much from severe attacks of acute disease, and for the last six months, it was evident that consumption had marked her for its victim. Although feeble, she attended and enjoyed much the camp-meeting at Kirkville. From that time she sank more rapidly under the power of disease; but was able to go out until two days before her death. She was baptized and united with the church about four years since, and was a sincere lover of the truth, and in her life, a consistent Christian. In the dying hours she was perfectly calm and composed, leaving words of comfort and exhortation to her friends, and then without a struggle, quietly fell asleep, leaving the bright assurance that she sleeps in Jesus. We sorrow, but are comforted with the hope that the Lifegiver is soon coming, and that then she will awake to immortal life. Sermon at her funeral by Bro. D. Arnold, from Rev. xxi, 4. F. & L. P. WHEELER.

DIED, of whooping cough and chills, in Liberty, St. Joseph Co., Ind., Oct. 25, 1869, Mary E., only daughter of Eber and Carrie Wood, aged 2 years, 8 months, and 20 days. Very appropriate and comforting remarks were made on the funeral occasion by Bro. U. Smith, from 1 Cor. xv, 26. WM. R. CARPENTER.

DIED, at our house near Woodbourn, Clark Co., Iowa, Oct. 22, 1869, of consumption, our dear mother Anna Neal, in her 52d year. From her youth she was a member of the Christian church, and embraced the Sabbath about ten years ago. She now rests in hope of soon having part in the first resurrection. MAHLON W. NEAL.
