then abandoned, and six boats filed with peo-
pie showed off. Seven passengers and the
second cook refused to leave the steamer and
went down with her. Two of the boats arrived
at Cape St. Lucas on the evening of the Both,
and the other boats landed near Cape St. Luz

pected here Sunday. The Continentals treas

casion for his crime. Your husband was
pure man, thoroughly pure, firmly believe,
who had most profound respect and deep
love for yourself and his marriage obligations.
As conscientious and upright as any man
ever received into the church, as true as steel
to his vows and duty; man who always
commanded from me sincere respect, conf
dence and affection, who enjoyed deep COM
munion with God, who abhorred impurity and
crime, whose convictions and principles were
abiding and deep laid and who would have
been incapable Of such guilt as the murderer

there are joyful CONCENTRATIONS in the midst
of our sorrows. May God bless and sustain
you is my deepest, strongest desire and prayer.
In all the past, our association with ne family
in our membership has been pleasanter than
it was with you. OF the few weeks when
was one of your household, during the time
when we used so oft to call at your house,
and in all our intercourse with yourself and
husband, there was only pleasure. Be as
sured, that in our hearts there will always be
an active interest and affection for yourself
and yours. If ever we can be of any service

future arise, call upon me as freely as you
would upon a brother, and as cheerfully will

is deeply moved by your sorrows, and in SYM
pathy and love wishes to be remembered. If
any of our friends will send us a Hallowell
paper containing the details we shall appre-

ated and happy, and the little ones God has
given us are in health, and to us a joy. Love

The age of railroads and the telegraph gives
rise to fast living, and increases the desire
for making rapid fortunes-some wishing to
outstrip, and Others to be at least equal to
their neighbors. In order to keep up with
this eager and unequal contest, the brain is
taxed to its utmost power, while humanity is
rendered an easy prey to disease. The
Heart, Liver, Stomach, Lungs, or Nervous
System becomes afflicted, and sickness, in
the form of Heart Disease, Jaundice, Dys-
pepsia, Bronchitis, Consumption, Paralysis
or Mania, is the result. The use of FELLOWS
COMPOUND SYRUP OF HYPHosPHfrIs will en-
able the mind to sustain greater strain I'M
fettered by conflicting thoughts and unwearied
by continued study. 1t imparts power of con-
centration. What before seemed difficult of
solution becomes comparatively easy, and the
body is physically stronger under its use.

PRINCETON, ILL, Oct. LIST, 1870.
MY DEAR SISTER LAFLIN My heart bleeds
for you. We have just read brief account
of the murder of your husband, cut from a
Portland paper, and sent us by Bro. Lapham.
In our hearts, crowding each for supremacy,
there is indignation at the crime of the brutal
assassin, sympathy with yourself and children,
and personal grief at the loss of one of our
truest friends. In such an hour as this, wish
were nearer my friends. An hundred miles
distance would not have kept me from your
self and family, in your deep affection. But
at this distance, the cold paper must bear slow

SO gladly express with my lips. But, thank
God, He is ever near. And if my poor, frail,
human heart is moved by your sorrow, how
much more is the heart of Him touched, who
has promised to be a friend that shall stick
closer than brother. If feel, how much
more will God, who is love. Like as a father
pitieth, so doth the Lord them that love Him.
."Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and
scourgeth every son whom He receiveth.
Now no Christening for the present seemeth,"
etc.
My dear sister, try to realize Gods near
presence, and his real presence in love, and
to comfort and support far more than earthly
friends could do, and that all His promises,
His great and precious promises, are for you,
and will be fulfilled; that He will bear You
and your dear boys up safely in His hands and
bless you always. God has not done this, but
suffered it to be done. 1t is not providential,
but providence may override it for good to
those who love God, and even for you. Try
thus to feel.
As yet, know none of the particulars as
desire to do. This much know from my in
most soul, that the murderer had no just oc-

The religious anniv of the Free Bap-
tist denomination of New England, which have
just been held in this city, and which we have
quite fully reported, were full of interest and
profit from the commencement to the close Of
the meeting. There were present some Of
the leading spirits Of the denomination in
New England, and representatives from the
great and growing West where the doctrines
of this church are spreading and springing up
with the new hamlets, towns and cities, and
also from New York. The wants Of the for
eign and the home fields were duly considered,
and the interests Of each weighed in their re-
lative Importance. The freedmen ofthe South,
with their dark hands outstretched to the
North for help in educational matters, were not
forgotten. The great interests Of education,
the handmade of religion, were regarded and
substantial recognition made of the claims Of
the denomlnational schools of learning. A
two days storm accompanied the anniversaries,
but seemed not TO interfere with the regular
sessions or retard in any sensible degree the
interest in the various benevolent objects pre-
scented. We think the brethren of the Free
Baptist denomination are wise in selecting the
fall of the year and the smaller cities of the
country in which to hold these annual festi-
walls and love feasts, instead of selecting the
heated terms and the dust and the din of the
crowded cities like Boston, Baltimore and
New York. The doors of our citizens were
opened wide in welcome to all in attendance
and we trust that they have returned to their
homes with pleasant memories of the ami
versary season.
