OBITUARY.

THAT fatal scourge, diptheria, is in our midst, and many are dying of it. Our little daughter, Elizabeth, died with it, Oct. 31, after an illness of twenty days, aged 3 years, 11 months, and 24 days.
We feel the loss of our little one, but can say with Job, The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. We feel to exclaim with the psalmist, God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
J., & A. M. MEANS.
Lovett's Grove, Ohio.
Fell asleep in Palmyra, Wis., Nov. 18, 1862, after an illness of four weeks of typhoid fever, our sister Eliza Clemson, aged 45 years. She leaves a husband and a large family of children to mourn her loss. She embraced the truth through the lectures given by Bro. Sanborn in Palmyra some two years ago, and joined the church at Little Prairie in keeping all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.
"*Unconscious now in peaceful sleep, From all her cares at rest: While friends around are called to weep, She is divinely blessed.*"
C. W. OLDS.
Died, Nov. 27, 1862, of diptheria, in Leipsic, Putnam Co., Ohio, Malvina, daughter of A. J., & Margaret Emans, aged 13 years lacking 2 days.
Little Mallie was a bright pattern of the power of the truth to sanctify the youthful heart, and of Christian patience and resignation during her brief but painful illness. No murmur or complaint escaped her lips; only meek submission. Although she desired to live, yet she was willing to die if such were the Lord's will. She quietly fell asleep in the Lord, the last audible whisperings being the voice of prayer for those she loved.
"*She sleeps in Jesus! blessed sleep From which none ever wake to weep.*"
H. F. BAKER.
FELL asleep in Jesus at his residence in the town of Parish, N. Y., Peter Degarmo, aged 80 years. He embraced the faith of the speedy coming of the Lord in 1843, and for a few months previous to his death was an observer of all the commandments of the Lord, with his companion, who is left to mourn the loss, but not as those which have no hope.
