DEATH OF MRS. THOMAS. It is now about four and a half years since the Rev. Thos. Thomas and Mrs. Thomas, accompanied by three other young Missionaries and their wives, left England to proceed to Central South Africa. The Mission amongst the Matebele was actually commenced about the month of October 1859, and since that time Mr. and Mrs. Thomas have borne an active and zealous part in the work, which in its present elementary stage has involved no little difficulty and trial. It is with much concern we have to announce the death of Mrs. Thomas from the effect of fever, superinduced by a severe cold, together with that of her infant, leaving her husband and two little boys to lament their irreparable loss. Mrs. Thomas entered into the joy of her Lord on the 10th of June ult., having survived her infant only three days. In a letter referring to the death of his pious and devoted wife, Mr. Thomas observes : “As in health and strength, so also, when afflicted and about to bid an eternal farewell to this earthly scene, she was perfectly calm and fearless, and seemed to have no misgivings as to how it might be with her beyond death. “ Indeed, from her prayers and her praises, as well as from her remarks to us during her short but very severe illness, we may unhesitatingly conelade that she has had an abundant entrance into the kingdom of her Lord and Saviour." Mr. Thomas expresses his grateful sense of the kindness and attention he had received from his fellow-labourers, Mr. and Mrs. Sykes during the period of his heavy trial. BERBICE. DEATH OF MRS. RAIN. Br the last West India mail we received the painful intelligence of the death of the truly estimable wife of the Rey. Thomas Rain, of Brunswick, Berbice. So recently as October 1861, Mrs. Rain, in company with her husband, left England to proceed to Berbice, and it was in her heart to bare spent years of devoted labour for the spiritual benefit of the female population of that colony; but in the all-wise but mysterious arrangements of Divine Providence, it has been ordered otherwise. After a brief but sekere attack of illness, Mrs. Rain was called to her rest and reward on the 15th November. We deeply sympathize with her bereaved busband, and trust he may be graciously supported and consoled under this deeply afflictive dispensation. ARRIVAL OF MISSIONARIES. The Rev.
