At North Ferisburgh VT, Nov. 3Oth, Mr. Ed.
mund Lyman aged Sc years. Printers in New
Hampshire, Mass and New York are requested to
publish.
At Middlebury state of New York, on the Esd
Of Oct, Ephraim Kellogg Esq. aged SO, for many
years an inhabitant of the town Of Weybridge.
At New Haven, on the eth inst, Royal L
Cowles, in the 22d year his age.
The subject of this SKETCH was blessed with re-
ligious parents who taught him the fear of the
Lord, and trained him for his service. Al an
early age he embraced religion, and continued
firm believer in the promises of Christ. He was
worthy member of the Methodist E. Church,
and by his upright and consistent walk, he secured
both the confidence and affection of his brethren.
Having now his understanding divinely enlight-
ened, and the love of God in his soul, he was anx
ious to advance his education with view to fl-
ture usefulness; but while engaged in this lauda-
bic enterprise, he was seized by that whitening
scourge, the consumption. For weeks and months
his anxious parents and friends, watched every
appearance for the better with the deepest solicit
tude hoping that by kind and skillfull treatment
he might once more be restored to the enjoyment
ofhealth; but it pleased God TO disappoint all
their hopes in relation TO his earthly career by
taking him to himself
He was universally kind 10 his parents and
was anxious TO live that he might be comfort and
help to them in their declining years. The day
before his death, when Intercepted by his pastor
as TO his future prospect, his answer was, Il have
no fears and am ready and willing to 90 at anv
His sufferings were indescribable, but
they were borne with christian fortitude and pa
tience; and that religion which had so often COM
forted him in health, did not fail him in sickness
and in death.

CoxoREss.-A very significant move 1t
will be seen, has been made BY MIR Calhoun,
in the Senate, and by Mr.. Holmes, of South
,.rol;na, in the House; in relation to the pros
..,ston Of the war with iIexico. These reso-
rops declare that the war for the conquest OF
Mexico, should no longer be prosecuted, and
.he expodiency of restoring all territory be-
You'd the Rio Grande. These resolutions must
-, ike an incubus upon the stomach Of Polk,
,-lo 5 determined to retain Now Mexico and
& orn:a, at all events.
ne Calhoun party in the Senate, when u
....... with the: wings, can control to a very
e. extent, the movements Of the Govern
,....,. Tho whole people must rejoice that
&c SO deceive, against the war has been
81 .>.-y introduced.

DUNNvILLE, Grand River, C. w, April "a, 1886.
Ny wife has been afflicted for number of years
with general dropsy; about year past it increas
ed TO an alarming state so much that her limbs
at times have swollen to one third over the natu.
raj size. The disease continued to reduce her in
strength After trying many kinds of medicine
came to the conclusion that her case was quite
hopeless. When your Vegetable Lithontriptic
Mixture was recommended l concluded that
would try once more and by so doing found it sue
cessful in curing. After using two large and one
small bottle she believes herself entirely cured.
l give you this testimony hoping that it may
prove benefit to those who may be afflicted with
the same disease, that they may try it and find re-
lef-and l also wish to express my, gratitude to
DR.. Vaughn the inventor of this medicine.
