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

MARY, the partner of my joys and sorrows, fell asleep in Jesus, Aug. 15, 1868. She embraced the religion of the Bible at the age of eleven; was one of the disappointed ones, of A. D. 1844. Her faith was of the firm, unwavering cast, self-denying, humble, submissive, down to the moment of her departure. She passed away to have a part in the first resurrection. Her age was 63 years. W. S. FOOTE.

Pendleton, O.

BRO. J. P. FLEMING, of Gilboa, is no more. After a distressing illness of long duration, he has fallen asleep in Jesus. He became a convert to Christianity, and embraced the present truth, under the labors of Bro. Holt and Cornell, in the fall of 1857. While mourning over the loss of our brother, we have the consolation of believing that he will have a part in the resurrection of the saints. Bro. F. died Sept. 1, 1868. W. S. FOOTE.

DIED, in St. Clair, Mich., Oct. 1, 1868, Johnnie, adopted son of Franklin and Rose Worden, aged 9 years. Johnnie was confined to the house with scrofula for about one year, exercised great patience and resignation. The readers of the Instructor may expect to hear particulars of his Christian character. Discourse on the occasion by the writer, to an attentive congregation, from Job xiv, 12–14. H. S. GURNEY.

DIED, Oct. 2, 1868, in Reedsburg, Sauk Co., Wis., of whooping cough, and congestion of the liver and lungs, Mary Jane, daughter of Nathan and Almira A. Blood, aged 7 years, 3 months and 16 days. She patiently suffered about six weeks, and I trust fell asleep in Christ, to rest till the Lifegiver shall come. NATHAN BLOOD.
