Franklin House, Philadelphia.

VENIIE undersigned desires again to call the
H. attention Of the readers of the Journal
and the railroad interest generally, to his
change ofiresdence, and connection with this
popular, and well arranged HOTEL. In pre-
senting his compliments to the readers of the
journal, and his claims upon the railroad in
terest for share of patronage in his new
pursuit, he is willing to rest his claims upon
the merits of the house, as it noW is, and upon
the manner in which it shall be hereafter
kept; believing, as he does, that those who
give him an opportunity of proving his claims
will find them valid and substantial.

Obituary.,
From the Vermont Observer
REV. JONATHAN MERRIAM GONE.
fremont, Oct. PC, 1916.


fremont, Oct. &c, 1916.
Departed this life, at his residence in Lo-
gan county, ILL.,, Oct, 3d. Elder JONATHAN
MERRIAM, in the 55th year of his age. He
was born in Ashburnham, Mass Nov. 5, 1871.
He commenced preaching in Brandon, VT in
1919, and was licensed by the church the fol-
lowing year. He entered the Philadelphia
Theological Institution the same year; and
the following year when that institution was
removed to the District of Columbia, he be-
came student in the Columbian College
lie was united in marriage with Miss Achsah
DIN, daughter oflate Hon. Henry DIN, of
Leicester w. May 10, 1924. The following
autumn he was ordained pastor of the Bap-
fist church in Bridport, Vt, which relation
he sustained for nine years He then removed
to Passumpsic, and labored for three years. In
the fall of 1886 he left New-England for the
West, and arrived in Springfield, Ill Oct 90
Receiving call, he became pastor of the
Baptist church in that place, and continued his
iabors for three years in Springfield and
vicinity. He next removed to Alton and la
bored one year, and then to his last residence
For two years previous to his death, he was
so much afflicted with the Bronchitis that he
preached but seldom
lie attended the Mclean Association about
two weeks before his death, and was then in
as good health as he had been for number of
months. While at the Association he was ex-
posed to rain, which produced a severe cold,
and this brought on an inhammatory state of
his lungs and bowels. AT first there were no
very alarming symptoms, and he entertained
strong hopes that he should recover. A short
time previous to his death, he remarked that
it had been mystery why the Lord had laid
him by in such Il field. He thought the Lord
had more for him to do. The day on which
he died, his disease assumed more alarming
appearance, and it was evident that a fatal
crisis was at hand. Being informed of this,
he seemed surprised, though not in the least
disturbed. He requested that his will should
be immediately written, and composedly gave
directions how he wished his estate to be
divided.
He expressed willingness to depart; re-
marked that he was better prepared than
he had ever been before, Gas to his temporal
affairs) He called his children to his bedside
and exhorted them to piety, good principles,
affection and obedience to their mother. To
his wife, who stood by, he said: "My dear,
don't let me sec that tearin your eye; I want
1t all joyous scene. We will have closer
union in hcaven-there we shall be united"
He frequently exclaimed, 90 death, where is
thy sting o grave, where is thy victory"
The last words he was heard to utter we're;
"Jesus is coming-Jesus is coming"
He has left wife and two children to
mourn the loss of an affectionate husband and
kind father. 81.

are unfortunately laboring under diseases of
that class. For more than Fifteen years l
have been afflicted with an affection of the
liver, which at times has caused me much suf-
fering and distress particularly while under
the influence of what is usually termed cold
and the pain in my breast mostly on the
right side] has been particularly Distressing
attended with difficulty of breathing, general
debility pain in the head and diffusion of
bile throughout the whole system. Last win
ter and spring became alarmed at the symp-
toms in my case. The distress in my breast
was great,and seemed to be permanently sea-
ted For considerable time although l re-
sorted to my usual remedies, experienced
relief, but felt myself growing worse Hav-
ing some knowledge of Dr. Taylor's Balsam
of Liverwort, purchased bottle and COM
menced usingit. Before had used it three
days / felt sensibly relieved-and by the time
the contents of the first bottle were used, the
pain in my breast had entirely disappeared
and there has been no return oft since.
