  In Lima, Rock Co., Wis. Ter., on the 10th of August, Mr. Silas Palmiter, in the 50th year of his age.   Having suffered much from sickness of various kinds during the last years of his life, he was permitted to meet death with calm composure and with entire resignation.   He was a member of the Seventh-day Baptist Church in Berlin, Rens. Co., N. Y.   His work is done; Jesus has kindly beckoned him away; and triumphantly has he passed to the reward of the faithful.   He leaves a wife and five children, together with an aged father and numerous relatives, to mourn his loss.   His last sickness was spinal affection, which terminated in consumption.     P.
