FELL asleep at Prairie Depot, Wood Co., Ohio, September 13, 1877, Laura A., daughter of H. and M. A. Carman, aged three years and four months. Six days later, their little Mary, aged one year, four months, and eight days. They died of diphtheria. Thus were their parents' hearts made to mourn the loss of two lovely lambs of their fold. These were my sister's children, and though not numbered with our people, she is in sympathy with us, and feels that her little ones are safe, and soon the Lifegiver will bring them from the land of the enemy. Words of comfort by Elder Hill (Methodist) from Ps. 103 : 15 and Job 14 : 10. LAURA P. KING.

DIED, October 11, 1877, at the residence of Geo. W. Balser, at Oakland, Cal., of abscess of the lungs, Gus A. Otto, aged twenty-one years. He was a young man of good ability and much promise, and had been engaged for nearly a year as press-foreman in the job department of the SIGNS OF THE TIMES Office. Funeral services at the St. John's Episcopal church. J. E. W.
