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

FELL asleep in Christ, at Belfast, Allegany Co., N. Y., Apr. 16, 1871, Sr. Julia C. Wilson, about twenty-five years of age. She was well esteemed as a member of the waiting church, and died in hope of a part in the resurrection of the just. She felt that it would be sweet to rest in the time of trouble that lies between us and the coming of Jesus. R. F. COTTRELL.

DIED, in Rockford, Cuyahoga Co., Ohio, April 16, 1871, my wife's father, Obadiah Munn, in the seventy-fourth year of his age. His death was caused by being hooked by his cow, from the effects of which he died in ten days. He embraced religion over fifty years ago, and united with the Episcopal Methodists, and was leader of the class about eight years. He then united with the Free-will Baptists, and held the office of deacon for twenty years. He was in the Advent movement of 1843-44, and in 1863 embraced the Sabbath under the labors of J. H. Waggoner. Although alone in the keeping of the Sabbath, he was firm in the truth to the last, and died, leaving the best of evidence that he sleeps in the Lord. He leaves his aged companion, a large family of children, and many friends to mourn his loss. Mr. Caldwell, Methodist minister from Cleveland, preached his funeral sermon from John 14:14. WARREN COON.
