Obituary Notices.

DIED in Alma, Allegany Co. N. Y. Aug. 24th 1863, Naboth B., infant son of Bro. Daniel and Sr. F. E. Oviatt, aged 2 mo. and 20 days. Also, Dec. 25th 1863, Nathan T. aged 6 mo. and 18 days. After appropriate services, as on the former occasion, we laid him in his last quiet resting place beside his twin brother to sweetly rest until our glorious Lifegiver shall return and bring from the enemy's land the objects of his divine love. This afflicted family is graciously sustained by the blessed hope. May grace and heavenly wisdom be liberally given to parents and surviving children to so live, that when the four little sleepers shall awake, they too, may join them, and know the blessedness of rising to be ever with the Lord. E. L. BARR.

DIED in North Liberty, Ind. Dec. 26, 1863, of bleeding at the lungs, Nancy Crowl, aged 45 years. Sr. C. was called to part with her husband and five children after a brief but distressing struggle of three days. Finding no relief from medicine, she sent to the Sabbath meeting for the Elders of the church to come and pray with her. She was a member of good standing in the church, and had kept the Sabbath for several years. Before prayer she wanted to say, that she had not kept the Sabbath so well as she should, and in some other things she had done wrong, and earnestly requested us to pray that the Lord would forgive her. We believe he did, for Jesus' sake. After our first season of prayer she called her oldest daughter about 14 years of age and a younger son and earnestly plead with them to serve the Lord and promise her that they would keep his Sabbath. As her strength failed she requested us to plead with them. She died in a few hours after. Her funeral was attended by many of her neighbors and the church who mourned their loss. She was buried Dec. 28, service in the Methodist meeting-house. Text, 1 Cor. xv, 22, 23. JOSEPH BATES.
