        Obituary.
        Again we are called upon to chronicle the departure of a "Father
      in Israel" to the saints' rest. DR. RILEY R. TIBBETTS, a citizen of
      this county, breathed his last on the morning of the 9th inst. in
      the 73d year of his age. Three weeks ago he was taken with a severe
      cold, resulting in a fever which closed his life. Though his last
      days were replete with suffering, he could say, "The Lord is
      precious." He was born in New York; lived near Syracuse; was blessed
      with educational advantages, and at an early age graduated from a
      medical college, and practiced his profession. Later in life, he
      moved to Wisconsin, where he practised several years. Six years ago
      he came to Oceana county, took up a tract of land under the Home-
      stead act, and since that time had so lived as to secure the esteem
      of all his neighbors. Before entering college he gave his heart to
      God, and for more than half a century served his Master with the fi-
      delity of a true disciple. He leaves a wife and three sons, four
      children having preceded him to the better Land. Much might be said
      of this good man's life which the world would scarcely pronounce a
      success. Yet it leads us to exclaim, "Let me die the death of the
      righteous, and let my last end be like his."         R.N.E.

        DIED.
        VOSBURGH. - In Weare, Mich., Feb. 7th, 1873, CARRIE, wife of
      TUNIS VOSBURGH, aged 26 years.
