EPHRAIM DALRYMPLE died April 22d, 1856, at his residence in Oswayo, Potter Co., Pa., in the 64th year of his age. The departed, some 30 years since, was a resident of Bainbridge, N. Y., a near neighbor of father Nichols, the notice of whose death was sent for publication two weeks since. Thus their last earthly homes were in adjoining towns, which they left within a few days of each other, for that "bourne from whence no traveller returns." He had also lived in Southport, near Elmira, for many years, previous to engaging in extensive lumbering operations in this region. During his last sickness, he was visited frequently by Father Abbot, a worthy local preacher among us, with whom he conversed freely; confessing that he had once enjoyed religion; was sorrowful that he had neglected his duty, and that he had been so anxious to lay up earthly treasure, rather than the heavenly. He however felt a relief from worldly care, when, by will, he had disposed of his large property, and the greater part of the five days still left him, were spent in prayer, feeling, as he said, that his only hope of heaven was in the mercy of his bleeding Savior. His friends that survive him have hope in his death, and may they all be admonished to ''seek first the kingdom of heaven." May our sister be sustained by the grace of God, in her duties towards the family of children now committed to her care.
