WHITE.—Miss Nellie White, aged 23, daughter of Wm. White and Sister S. E. White, of Santa Rosa. Nellie met with a sudden and violent death. While riding from the house of her sister to the town of Nelson, the horse upon which she was seated became unmanageable, jumped to one side, and Nellie was thrown to the ground, striking on the back of her head and breaking her neck instantly.

But a few days before she had written a letter to her parents, made up of bright hopes for the future; but alas! too soon the joy of these parents was turned to grief and bitter anguish.

Elder Taft, of the Baptist Church, spoke words of comfort and consolation from Luke 8, commenting briefly on the case of the ruler's daughter, setting forth the hope that this same Jesus will raise Nellie to life eternal.

Thanks are due our Baptist friends for the many acts of kindness on this trying occasion.
