RELIGIOUS SUMMARY.

DEATH or BAPTIST MISSIONARIES.
By the ship Paragon, which arrived on
Friday last, from Calcutta, the melan-
choly intelligence of the death of Rev.
Jacob Thomas, who, il will be remem-
bered, sailed with Rev. Miles Bronson
and others, from this part in the ship Ros-
abella, In October, 1896. Mr.. Thomas,
we learn, had leii the Budgrow in which
were his companions while on the Brah-
maputra, on his way to Sadiya, in small
canoe with four men on the LIST Of July
last, and when in sight Of his field Of la
Dor. while pushing briskly against
strong current, two trees suddenly fell
from the bank across the. centre Of the
boat. which caused It Instantly to sink,
taking brother Thomas with il. II being
shoal water the others soon gained foot
inR. and used every endeavor TO olsen
esRs the body Of Mr.. T.. but without sue
csss, as they had neither knife or axe
F, The largest tree lay across bis body,
which pressed 50 closely TO the boat that
Ne was not taken out until other assist
anes arrived. Il Is probable that the blow
from the trees caused almost instant death,
e. those with him never heard a groan OF
a struggle. Mr.. Thomas was native Of
