THE present number closes volume 43 of the REVIEW AND HERALD. It has contained a greater proportion than usual of long articles, which have been inserted for the purpose of presenting the more prominent points of our faith before its new readers. This has interfered somewhat with that variety which it is desirable that a paper should contain; but we think the value of the matter presented has been more than a compensation for the lack mentioned.
It has been the design to complete the presentation of all the subjects introduced as far as possible in this volume; but in a lengthy series, this has been difficult, and some important subjects partially presented in this volume will be continued in the next. This is the case with the Atonement, the Kingdom, and the Immortality questions. Some interesting subjects for which we have not found room in this volume, as Spiritualism, the Saints’ Inheritance, &c., will be given in the next volume.
With a general feeling of union, co-operation, courage, and good cheer, in all parts of the field, and in all departments of the work, with a general condition of prosperity and indications of more abundant success in the future, we close this volume, and prepare to enter upon the new, determined to make it, by the blessing of God, of still deeper interest, and a still greater strength and power in the good cause which it is to advocate and defend.

An Awful Lot of Trichinæ.
CHESTER, Ill., Feb. 23.—Hogs, great and small, in the Kaskaskia Bottom, for the past nine months or more, have been severely afflicted with trichinæ, which has been widespread and terribly fatal—a genuine epidemic among the porkers. The fatality of the disease has indeed been fearful. For a time the farmers in that locality believed their hogs to be dying from cholera, which, every now and then, makes its appearance among the swine kind, especially in the Bottoms, supposed to be caused by miasmatic influences, but the malady now prevailing is of another type, and far more destructive. The Kaskaskia Bottom, an area of some twelve thousand acres of country, early last fall, and until winter set in, in many localities, was literally strewn with dead hogs, great and small, but few farmers having hogs left to supply the year's demand for meat. It is estimated that not less than from ten to fifteen thousand head of hogs have died of trichinæ in that neighborhood within the past nine months, and though the disease has in a measure ceased its terrible ravages, it has by no means disappeared. It can scarcely be doubted but that nearly, if not quite, every hog in the region of country spoken of is more or less affected with this loathsome disease.—St. Louis Globe.
Obituary Notices.
“Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.”
FELL asleep in Jesus, April 13, 1874, at High Banks, Macomb Co., Mich., after a short, but exceedingly painful illness, sister Elizabeth Streeter, wife of Joel Streeter, aged 38 years. The cause of this sudden calamity was disease of the bowels. Sister Streeter was a model Christian and greatly beloved by all. She loved the truth for the truth's sake, and always moved from principle. God gave her the brightest hope. Her husband and adopted daughter deeply mourn their loss. Many relatives and friends were gathered at the funeral. Sister Streeter was identified with the Advent faith fully at the tent-meetings in Armada, though she had been a short time previously deeply interested under the labors of Eld. H. M. Kenyon. The church at Armada is called for the fourth time to part with an honored member. Another tie is severed, yet it binds us more closely to our hope. Services by the writer. D. H. LAMSON.
DIED, in Washington, N. H., Apr. 14, 1874, of strangulated hernia, sister B. M. Farnsworth, in the 49th year of her age. By this sad bereavement, a husband and three dear children are left to mourn their great loss. May they all be united in the kingdom is our prayer. She had been a Sabbath-keeper about twenty years, and died in hope of a part in the first resurrection. HARRIET I. FARNSWORTH.
DIED, near Arcola, Monona Co., Iowa, April 29, 1874, of lung disease, Bro. Wm. D. Flower, aged fifty-two years, three months, and twenty-nine days. He leaves a wife and six children and a large circle of friends to mourn their loss. Funeral discourse by the writer. Text: “If a man die, shall he live again?” Job 14: 14. Bro. Flower embraced the third angel's message last December, while I was lecturing at the Hattaway school-house. I was with him in his last moments, and I can say I never witnessed a more triumphant death. I could say with the psalmist, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.” Ps. 116: 15. J. BARTLETT.
DIED, in Clinton, Me., May 1, 1874, of cerebro-spinal meningitis, Martha F., daughter of Jeremiah and Jane R. Dixon, aged twenty years. She suffered much during her sickness, but we trust she sleeps in Jesus, soon to awake in his likeness. By her request, I spoke on the day of her funeral from 2 Tim. 4: 7, 8. J. B. GOODRICH.
DIED, at Memphis, Mich., Jan. 2, 1874, Grantie, son of Simeon and Angie Boyce, aged three years. Text, 2 Sam. 12: 23. They anxiously wait the coming of Jesus. D. H. LAMSON.
