ola grand reception at the palatal
residence, in Prescott, of our former

ent. 1t was on the occasion Of the de-
parture of the family OF Gov. Tritles
for California. We notice that Col.

Go it, boys, while you are young.

Our venerable Democratic friend,
Samuel G.. White, of whose illness we
made mention few weeks ago, passed
quietly into the shade Of the trees on
the other side of the river, at his home
at Payson A. Pierce's, on Wednesday
night Of last week, in the Saith year of
his age. His funeral was attended on
Friday, Rev. Moses Kidder officiating.
Mr.. White was one of our oldest
and most respected citizens, and
has followed his calling of carpenter
and master builder for many years,
and much of his handiwork may be
seen in this village to-day. AS the
minister well said in his remarks, she
had an eye for the beautiful and always
fostered and encouraged it." He raised
up a large family of children, all hon
orable members of society, most of
whom are in distant parts-only three
of them present at the funeral. Mr..
White never amassed much wealth,
and since the death of his wife, few
years ago, and the breaking up of his
home shortly after, by the death of his
daughter, the road seemed to be longer
and narrower, and, like Bunyan's pill
grim, the load little heavier each
succeeding year, but his children, D.
A. especially, lifted him along until he
secured pension few months ago
something that he ought to have had
years ago--by the death Of his son,
Stephen, in the late rebellion. Since
he received his pension he has made
his home in Mr.. Pierce's family, where
he has had all the care and attentio II
that man could have, and he fully
appreciated every act of kindness shown
him. If all men were like Samuel
G.. White this world would be a better
place to live in than it is now. The
members of the family wish US to say
that they return their sincere thanks to
friends and neighbors who have assist
ed them in the hour of affliction.

Two little boys under ten years Of
age, sons of our Democratic friend
William Billings, Jr., were discussing
notify questions, the other night, among
them the probability of "spirits being a.
bout" The youngest insisted that there
were such things as spirits. The ED
er one laughed at him, and told him
there wasn't. His opponent replied
eyes, there are too, there is the
