The Late John Mackenzie, Gairloch.
—It is with much sorrow we briefly notice this month the death of Mr. John Mackenzie, missionary, Gairloch, which took place on Sabbath, October 16th. The deceased was a pious man and useful missionary. His removal is a real loss to the Church. Much sympathy is felt for his widow and family in their great bereavement.
