Obituary.

DIED in this place on the evening of the 19th inst. elder SETH JOHNSON, aged 30 years. Elder J. was a young man of promising talents, and of strict religious principles; ever manifesting, by his acts, the warm affection of a heart devoted to the cause of God, and to that most dear to him of all things, the religion of the Lord Jesus; but his Master has accepted his work and taken him home, where he can receive that reward promised to the pure in heart.

Though dust returns to dust, and his spirit has fled to Christ, we drop this as a tribute to his worth—HE WAS A SAINT.—[ Editor.]
