BENJAMIN Is. Howland Of this town, aged 57
years.
In early life Mrs. II. con 'ecrated herself TO
God, and united with the lst Baptist Church in
this place and from that period until lies clo-
sing hour, her piety was UNIFORM, consistent
aud active. Amid the complication OF disease,
and in nature las, struggle, her faith in Christ
was unshaken, aud with composurs and holy
trust she bade farewell 10 loved ones, aud her
spirit winged It's way 10 join the redeemed null
,itude in tho spirit land Of bliss. The domestic
circle. and the Church Of Christ are indeed be-
reayed by this affective dispensalion. May He
who has smitten, sustain and comfort the
he arts that are or pressed with sorrow.

rPWe thank A." A constant reader" both for
his information and suggestion, although We
are inclined to think ,ha, his communication
was suggested by interested motives rather
than any other cause. We were aware that
F!emmings Sermon was recently republished
in Philadelphia; but we spoke Of the edition
from which we quoted as having heen publish
ed Dcre than half century ago, to show that
there could be no deception about it from tho
fact of its antiquity. Some Of those who do
not fancy the theme of the Discourse, the
star ling prophecies there made, and their pres
ent extraordinary fulhlment, might shrewdly
suggest that an edition Of modern date might
have been prepared for the emergency. We
must differ from our correspondent az to the
propriety of occasiona ly devoting even consid
erable space OF paper to Ancient History
particularly when so important as in the pres,
en-, instance. 1t is bringing light directly
home to darkened minds, placing l, within the
reach of all, however humble and poor, and
this IS what we conceive TO be the duty o
e?ery homes. man.
