Mix.—Died of asthma, at his residence at Gouverneur, St. Lawrence Co., New York, July 31, 1879. Bro. Eli Mix, aged 75 years. He was noted as an exceptionally conscientious man. He and his wife embraced present truth four years ago, under the missionary labors of Eld. A. H. Hall. Sr. M. is cheered in her loneliness by the bright hope of a speedy reunion when the Lifegiver shall come. Funeral discourse by the writer, from Job 14:14, 15. Chas. B. Reynolds.

Wheeler.—Died, July 3, 1879, at Sauk Center, Minn., Sister Nellie M., wife of Bro. D. Wheeler, aged 30 years. Bro. and Sr. W. were the first to embrace the Sabbath in this place, and their hearts were cheered by seeing a small company of believers brought out here last summer. Sr. W. leaves a husband and five small children. Her loss is deeply felt; but we have the blessed assurance that her hope and trust were in God, and that when the last trump shall sound she will come forth clad in immortality. Discourse by Eld. Haskell, Baptist. Eliza Emmerson.
