August 14, at Wrexham, our aged sister in Christ, Anne Matthews, aged 82, widow of our late venerable deacon, Isaac Matthews, was called up from the church militant to the church triumphant. At the early age of eighteen she was called by divine grace, and yielding allegiance to her Lord, was baptized in his name. Ever since she has maintained the christian character, and was truly an ornament to her profession. Her bible was her daily companion, and Jesus to her was all in all. On the Lord's-day previous to her death, whilst dozing, she several times thought that some one was tapping her on her shoulder, and asked her daughter who it was? but on being assured that no one did so, she said, "Well: perhaps its my dear Saviour sending his angel and wishing me to come home," August 17, at Maryland Point, Stratford, Essex, in the faith and hope of the gospel, Ann, the beloved and afflicted wife of Mr. John Freeman, a member of the baptist church at Bow, Middlesex, for more than forty-eight years, aged 73.

ASTOUNDING CURE OF SCROFULA.-WILLIAM POGUE, of Emyvale, (a young man well known in that neighbourhood,) was afflicted for three years with Scrofula on the left arm; there were four ulcers which discharged continuously, and reduced the poor fellow to a mere skeleton. He was for a long time under the care of one medical gentleman, and consulted many others, but derived no benefit whatever. At last he had recourse to Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and by persevering with these remedies, in the course of eight weeks, his arm was completely well, and his health thoroughly re-established. The truth of this statement can be verified by many of the Inhabitants of Emyvale, and particularly by Mr. PATRICK MC KENNA, Druggist, of that place.
