OBITUARY OF JOSEPH T. CANNON. Rev. Joseph T. Cannon was born in Shelby county, Ohio, September 18, 1814, and died of dropsy in Cass county, Nebraska, July 24, 1883, in the seventieth year of his age.
His grandfather was a native of Tennessee, and a school-mate of Gen. A. Jackson. Joseph T. Cannon was converted to God at the age of seventeen. Was married November 7, 1835, to Miss Phoebe Jordon. In 1839 he was licensed to preach, and for fourteen years labored on various circuits in the Missouri Conference as a local preacher.
In 1851, he joined the Missouri Conference, and was ordained Deacon by Bishop Waugh at Hannibal, Missouri. In 1855, he moved to Otoe county, Nebraska, within the bounds of Kansas and Nebraska Conference, and continued in the itinerancy three years.
In 1860, he was appointed to pioneer work, and stationed at Central City, Colorado. While there, he, with Rev. Bro. Watson (brother to Richard Watson of Methodist fame), erected the first Methodist Church in that country. They built it mostly with their own hands, hewing the logs on the mountain side, and carrying them on their shoulders to the site of the Church. His labors there told seriously on his health, and he returned to Nebraska, and settled on his farm in Cass county, near the Union M. E. Church.
In 1870, be was elected to the Eighth Legislature of Nebraska, and did his work well. In 1871, his wife died, in the blissful hope of heaven, leaving a husband and three children to mourn their loss. In 1874, he married Mrs. Mary S. Daley, who now survives him.
As a preacher, Bro. Cannon was moderate in speech, concise and practical. In the Conference he enjoyed the respect of all, and was highly esteemed by those who knew him best. As a Christian, he was quiet, thoughtful, patient, and persevering. He suffered much by disease, which sometimes brought clouds and disappointment to his mind, but never did he lose confidence in his God. His end was peaceful and grandly triumphant. He even exulted in the approaching hour, and passed gently away to his reward, leaving a wife and little son, Wallace, and three adult married children. Thus Bro. Cannon lived long, labored much, and died triumphantly.R. COOLEY,

H. BURCH.Lincoln, Lancaster County, Sep. 7, 1888.
SARAH P. CHAPIN Mrs. Sarah P. Chapin was born at Gloucester, Massachusetts, August 1, 1837, was the daughter of Edward and Mary Perkins, who were staunch Methodists from early life. She was converted and joined the M. E. Church at the age of twenty-one; was a great lover of the Church and ministry. She left her friends and home in the East eleven years ago to come to this new country, believing that God had a mission for her husband. She never complained at any sacrifice required at her hands. She was a great help to her husband, a safe counselor, never happier than when the Church was prospering. She died triumphantly September 12, 1882,--aged forty-five.

REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION. Your Committee has examined all the documents referred, and considered all the subjects which it was thought ought to receive attention, and beg leave to report as follows:
NEBRASKA CONFERENCE SEMINARY. From an examination of the Treasurer's report, we find that the institution has total assets to the value of $34,000.
From the report of the President we learn that one hundred and fifty-one students were enrolled the past year, and that all the facilities for instruction have been greatly augmented.
From the report of the Official Visitors, we learn that the work of students and teachers was eminently satisfactory. We rejoice at this prosperity, and shall continue to pray that the usefulness and efficiency of the institution may be increased from year to year.
We most cordially endorse the proposed change in the grade of the institution from that of Seminary to College, with a full classical curriculum; and hereby recommend that the Board of Trustees be directed to take the necessary legal steps to secure that most desirable change.
We recommend that the Preachers observe the requirement of the discipline as to preaching a sermon on the subject of education. That this be done early in the coming Conference year, and at that time a collection be taken for our Conference
