Departed this life, on Friday, the 25th of October, on Muddy Creek in Rockingham Co., Va., EPHRAIM W. SILLINGS, aged 33 years, 4 months and 16 days. Funeral sermon was preached by Daniel Heatwole and Jacob Driver, from Phil. 1:21. He was buried at Panusah, in Aaugusta Co. He had been afflicted with an ulcer in the breast, from which he suffered nearly twelve months. The writer was a near neighbor, and visited him frequently. His sufferings were very severe, yet scarcely a murmur ever escaped his lips. He bore all with Christian fortitude and resignation. He often called on the brethren to sing and pray with him. He was a member of the Mennonite Church, and I believe he tried to serve God faithfully. He was beloved and esteemed by all who knew him. His departure was a sore affliction to his family, yet they need not mourn as those having no hope. And they may also bear in mind that their loss is his eternal gain, and that he who summoned him away is too wise to err, and too good to be unkind. May the good Shepherd soothe their sorrows, and may they follow the good example of him for whom they mourn, and their end be like his. "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."

"Weep not for me, companion dear,
Nor discontented be;
But for yourself much rather,
Labor to come to me.

"Weep not for me, dearest mother,
From sorrow I am free;
Your cares leave to another,
The Savior cares for me.

"Weep not for me, brothers, sisters,
But good and faithful be,
To meet your Lord and Savior,
An there my face you'll see."
F. A. RODES.

On the 10th of November, in Waterloo County, C..W., SAMUEL, son of Joseph HEGEY, aged 23 years, 8 months, and 15 days. His disease was a kind of nervous consumption, with which he had been afflicted already in his seventh year, by which both his mental and physical powers were so weakened that he never came to accountability. He had much to suffer, however, and did not with the rich man have his good things in this life but the opposite. So that we believe and hope he was also carried by the angels, &c. Thanks unto God forever. Amen. Funeral sermons were preached from Rom. 11:33 and 2 Tim. 2:5.
