Dea. Silas G. Bliven, in the 78th year of his age. Bro. Bliven was born in Rhode Island, and came with his parents to the place where he has lived and died, when he was seven years old. In youth he gave himself to Christ, and was one of the constituent members of the Amity (now Scio) Seventh-day Baptist Church. He was chosen Deacon of the Scio Church, but from a sense of unfitness never would consent to be ordained. He served the church in that capacity just the same, always being in his place when able. For two and a half years his mind has been very much affected, incapacitating him for business or social enjoyment. He was married to Caroline Woolworth, of Alfred, Jan. 19, 1833, who with two children, survives him. At the time of his death he was living with his son-in-law, Squire Smith, who married his only daughter. His death was sudden, but we have every reason to hope he now sees without an imperfect medium. Rest, dear brother, in thy Saviour's glory. J. K.
