STUART, Chairman. 11 Bank Street, Philadelphia. Obituary of William H. Fraser. At the residence of his father, in the,Town of Rutland, 111, on the nth of December, WILLIAM H. FRASER, Son of Thomas and Anne Fraser, Cerporal Go. I, l!7th Illinois Volunteers, aged 20)rearsand IT dar*i William .was a young man of more than ordinary pio raise, and won the esteem of many fri.nda and acquaint ances, who deeply lament his loss. When the rebellion broke out, he felt it a duty incumbent upon him to assist in putting It down. and before he waa 18, was only restrained from joining an older brother, who enlisted in the 36th Regiment, by his parents withholding their consent on aacount of his yonth. His patriotism, however, could not be checked, and he subsequently enlisted in the 127th, thereby causing four or five young men of his acquaintance to follow his example.. He was a faithful soldier, and served his country creditably in all the battles and campaigns in which his regiment took part, from their first engage ment at Arkansas Post, until the surrender of Vicks burg. While besieging the Utter piece, his health, which was naturally good, began .to gire way from exposure to the malaria of a Southern climate, and eventually ' unfitted him for active duty. Ha came home on a fur lough in November last, in hopes that he would be benefited by the change, but.it was too Ute, for his constitution was so much impaired that he returned only to die among hls kindred, and add another name to the list of that noble army of martyrs, whoso memories we will ever cherish as having sacrificed their lives on the alt&r of their country, in the hour of their country’s need. He met the lost enemy with calmness and resignation to the will of his. Heavenly Father, hoping for a glorious immortality, by faith, in the promises revealed in His .word. One of the portions of that word which gave him, comfprt was the subjoined verse of the 23d Psalm: Yea, theogo I’ve walked in death’s dark vale. Yet will ffear none ill, For thou art with me, and thy rod And staff rae comfort still. 49- Ghat Hair Eestorsd—Baldncs* Frewnted: “ London Hair Color Eestorer and Dressing.” “ London Hair Color Restorer and Dressing.” “ London Hair Color Restorer and Dressing.” “ KBAD THIS OXRTIVICATS.” I am happy to field my testimony to the great value of the “London Hair Color Eestorer,” three bottles of which restored my Hair, which was very gray, to its original dark color, and the hue appears to be perma nent. lam satisfied that the preparation is nothing like a dye, but operates upon the secretions.

Am, From the Lafayette, (Ind.,) Daily Courier- It rarely happens that In our editorial capacity our readers find us premeditately and with malice afore thought, engaged in puffing any patent medicine, but during our late visit to Pittsburg Landing there was one medicine which we found in the hands of nearly every soldier, giving relief wherever applied, whether internaUy or externally. We refer to PERRY DAVIS’ VEGETABLE PAIN KILLER. AU spoke loud in its favor, and the kind-hearted Sur geon of one of our Indiana regiments informed us that he believed it was the only thing that saved at least half of his regiment from dying of dysentery during a long march, and we cannot help suggesting to our friends among the army sutlers that it is one of the remedies they should never be out of.

WOKK LIFE AND TIMES OF JOUi\ HISS. 0E THE BOHEMIAN REFORMATION BY REV. E. H. GILLETT Two Vola. This important work gives a sketch of the Life of John Hess, with a history of the Bohemian Reformation, re vealing the powerful influences, earnestness of purpose, lofty aims, heroic faith and martyr death of Hubs in that great struggle for truth and religious freedom* The Methodist Quarterly of New York says: “ Brief space compel*. us to use strong words to do commensurate justipe to this noble work. It appears to us' Sh honor to American scholarship and talent. It se lects one of the truest, noblest, purest martyrs of the en tire Christian history; it scatters the shades which his torical neglect has allowed- to gather around him; it draws from a thorough research into original and co temporary sources, with graphic power, a living portrait of character and events that possess an undying interest for every lover of purity, truth and freedom.” “There have been to our view, few more valuable con tributions to our religious literature than these volumes daring the present century. 1 . The author of this work takes rank with Spark, Ban croft; Irving, Prescott, Hopkins, and others, who have done ;BO much to exalt the reputation of the country, in the world of letters, by iheir historical productions. !

From Ben. J. Newton Brown, D. D., Editor of the Ency clopedia of Religious Knowledge: Although not disposed to favor or recommend Patent Medicines in general, through distrust of their ingredients and effects; I yet know of no suffiefent reasons why a man may not testify to the benefits he belieivee hsmself to have received from any simple preparation, in the hope that be may thus contribute to the benefit of others. 1 do this more readily in regard to Hoofland’s German Bitten, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, of this city, because I was prejudiced against them for many years, under the Impression that they* were chiefly an alcoholic mixture. I am indebted to my mend Robert Shoemaker, Eeq., for the cremoval of this prejudice by proper tests,and fbr encou tagement to try them, when suffering from great and long continued debility. The use of three bottles of theaeßit ters, at the beginning of the present year, was followed by evident relief and restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor which I had not felt fbr six months before, and had almost despaired of regaining. I therefore thank God and my friend for directing me to the use of them. Philsda., June 23,1861. J. NEWTON BROWN. particular notice.
