DIED, in Waltham, Vt., Jan. 27, 1865, of consumption, sister Emily L. Darby, aged 37 years.

She had been for several years one of those “who call the Sabbath a delight,” and who felt it a great privilege to meet with God's people. She experienced much affliction in her life, but we trust that

“She sleeps in Jesus! peaceful rest, Whose waking is supremely blest; No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour, That manifests the Saviour’s power.”

S. B. WHITNEY.

FELL asleep in Jesus, of consumption, April 13, Adaline J. Mills wife of Dr. Mills, aged 26 years and 8 months. She embraced the Sabbath in the spring of 1855. I visited her a few days before her death and found her firm in the faith and joyful in hope of the better life. She leaves two children and her last advice to them was, to be good children and give their hearts to Jesus.

When Bro. Mills told her that she was dying, she exclaimed “Praise the Lord, his mercy endureth forever.” These were her last words. I attended her funeral on first-day, the 16th, in the town of Conway, where I discoursed to a crowded congregation and a large circle of relatives, on Rev. xiv, 13. Blessed are the dead, &c.

“Away from Satan’s tempting snare, Her faith’s no longer tried; In Jesus she is sleeping there; For in bright hope she died.”

J. B. FRISBIE.

Howell, April 16th 1865.

DIED in Weybridge, Vt., Matilda M., wife of Lovias J. Hall, aged 27 years. She leaves a companion and a little son of three and a half years, to mourn her loss. They hope to meet her in the resurrection morning.
