BROOKSANIA: In Maryland, Otsego Co., N.Y., June 4th, 1877, Mrs. Brooksania relict of the late David Johnson, aged 50 years.
Our sister was buried with Christ in baptism at the early age of fourteen and ever after walked in newness of life. Her duty to her God and family was her delight. A faithful and affectionate wife, a devoted and tender mother and an exemplary Christian. Her piety was deep, fervent and constant and her sweet Christian influence was felt at home and abroad. Her physical sufferings were protracted and severe in the extreme, but her mind was stayed on Christ, and she was kept "In perfect peace." She bore all with Christian fortitude and with an unclouded mind and unshaken faith, her feet trod the dark valley and went over the swelling river. A brighter example of suffering, patience, and unmurmuring submission to the will of God is rarely found. A tranquil and happy death was the fitting close of such a life. In her long and painful illness, the tender sympathy and care of a beloved daughter watches over her incessantly and left no means untried to minister to her comfort, G.R.B. Sherburne, Feb. 14, 1878.

At Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn. May 14th, 1871, Mr. Charles M. Peasley, a resident of Blenheim, Schoharie Co. N.Y.
Mr. Peasley had nearly completed the second year of his college course, with many honors as a student. Becoming overtaxed by severe mental labor, he was suddenly prostrated and died in a few days. His body, accompanied by a number of students, was conveyed to his home, on Monday of last week. The services were conducted by his classmate, Mr. Lowell, who gave a faithful account of the noble, Christ-like life of the deceased. Citizens of Stamford will recall Mr. Peasley, while connected with the Seminary, for his scholarly deportment, the close concise and forcible productions at the Public Exercises, and his earnest efforts for the moral welfare of his fellow students. He realized to an unusual extent, the duties and responsibilities of life, and was thoroughly fitting himself for his work. Had life been prolonged, he would have made a valiant solider on the side of right in the conflict of truth against error.
