DiED, of congestion of the lungs, in Richford, Vt., Jan. 15, 1865, our beloved sister Lydia, wife of G. W. Kellogg, aged 35 years on the day she died. Her sickness was short, and the family are deeply afflicted by this sudden bereavement. Sister Lydia was one of the first that embraced the Sabbath in Vermont, and she was much esteemed on account of the sweet spirit, and mild disposition that she always manifested.

The writer gave a discourse on the occasion, before a large and attentive congregation, from Rev. xiv, 13.

"Sister, thou wast mild and lovely, Gentle as the summer breeze, Pleasant as the air of evening When it floats among the trees."

A. C. Bourdeau.

DIED, in Deerfield, Minn., Jan. 22, 1865, of consumption, sister Clarissa, wife of Bro. Daniel Howard, aged 45 years and 8 months. Bro. Howard's people came among us from Vermont about eighteen months since, with a two-fold object in view; first, the benefit of their children; and second the improvement of Sr. H.'s health. During last summer her health was better than for years before. Her death was serene and peaceful, resembling the passing into a gentle slumber.

Though she did not live to see both her loved sons seek the Lord, yet that happy event is witnessed by her bereaved companion. Truly, the advice and counsel of a tender mother live after her.

F. W. MORSE.

DiED, at Osage, Kansas, Jan. 2, 1865, Thomas J., son of S. and M. Zin, aged 7 months, 21 days.
