1t was the good fortune OF Judge Summers,
and his just merit during his long career, to
possess the confidence and retain the entire re-
gard and esteem OF the community, among
whom he followed his professional pursuits.
No one was more trusted, none whose advice
was more implicitly relied upon, and none
whose directions and instructions were more
eagerly sought.
The memory Of his personal traits will never
pass from those who were his friends, neigh
bors and acquaintance. lie was a true friend
and considerable neighbor, just man OF busl-
ness and most genial companion. 10 describe
his high social qualities, is difficult; to forget
them, is impossible to those whose privilege 1t
was to enjoy them.

rate and affectionate father and no relation a
kinsman more esteemed and respected. With
heavy family Affections, at many periods OF hl:
lite, he met them with the fortitude OF true
christian with grief, that although deep and
almost crushing, was still manly, and with q
resignation that enabled him to say:
''God of the Just, Thou gavest the bitter
CUP | bow to Thy behest, and drink it up.
At an early age Judge Summers became q
member and communicate of the Protestant
| Episcopal Church in ST. Johns Parish, of Ia,
nawha County. Ever afterwards he demeaned
himself az consistent Christian, devout In his
pety, and as one who fully felt and believed in
the grand hopes for the future his faith promls
cd him. He firmly believed 10 the great atone
ment for the redemption OF man, and the rest
which awaited true Christians beyond the grave
In that hope, that belief and that confidence
in the future, he died. The twilight OF the
coming night OF death came upon him early.
He knew the cleaning of the shadows Of death
were enshroudng him, and that no dispersion
of them could ever take place. Like true
Christian soldier, he bravely met them with an
unfaItering trust in the mercies Of his Saviour,
the great God OF US all.

1t is stated that there are individuals in the
larger cities of Europe and in New York whose
only occupation is the writing of advertise
ments. The business, it is also said, is quite
lucrative one, as much as one hundred dollars
being sometimes paid for single advertise
ment. To prepare good advertisement is a
good thing, and to advertise literally, and be
willing to pay literally, is a still better thing.

FINANCIAL CONDITION OF MARYLAND.-In
a quiet and unpretentious way the State OF
Maryland is growing In wealth and making
substantial Improvements, ranking her among
the most prosperous of the Atlantic States.
Her financial affairs, we see by an exhibit sent
to US by prominent citizen of that State
are in notably healthy condition. By
this exhibit we find the exact debt of the State
to be 81, 7l2, 19045, and as an Offset to this
debt, she holds stocks for the Sinking Fund
amounting to 1851, 509.7l, sand productive
stocks, on which she receives interest or dlVi
dends amounting to S., SAT 40, making total
of stocks held by the State $7,137, 979.7l, and
on which she receives interest and dividends
amounting to $42S, 63409, or equal to the in
terest on 81, l43, 90l.50 of her debt, which de-
Quoted from her entire debt, willleave 81, $685.
2SS. 95, on which she has to provide interest
AS further offset to this debt of 81, $685. 2SS
95-on which she has to provide the interest
she holds unproductive stocks and balances due
by accounting officers, amounting to $50, COL
926 &c., which, if put on the market, would
realize in round numbers, at the lowest figures,
$l0,000,000. Therefore, it can safely be said
that the State has no debt, but on the contrary,
holds stocks sufficient, if put in the market. to
not only pay her entire debt, but leave in the
Treasury surplus of five and half millions
