OBITUARY,

It becomes my painful duty to announce the death of Bro. Erastus Aldrich, who fell asleep in Jesus Sept. 7th, 1858, at 1 o'clock P. M., after a short illness of one week. His disease was bilious fever. During his sickness he manifested christian fortitude to a degree worthy a follower of the meek and lowly Jesus, as the last two days of his life were very painful.

For the last three or four weeks he seemed to be desirous of cutting loose from the world and the things of the world. His mind seemed to be bent on heeding more fully the message to the Laodiceans. He leaves a wife and a large circle of friends to mourn his loss; but they mourn not as those who have no hope. RICHARD L. RHODES. Addison, Mich., Sept. 10th 1858,

DIED in Battle Creek, Mich., Sept. 11th, 1858, Anna L. daughter of A. B. and Adaline Pearsall, aged nineteen months.

"Happy infant early blessed ! Rest, in peaceful slumber, rest; Early rescued from the cares Which increase with growing years." JOSEPH BATES. Battle Creek, Sept. 15th, 1858.
