SUMMERVILLE.

SUMMERVIIILE.
George, second son of Charles Pack
ard, died Monday forenoon, after a
long and distressing illness, aged eigh-
teen years. During all the weary, pass
ing months, George has been uncOm-
planning, but patient and cheerful in a
remarkable degree. He was naturally
buoyant in spirit, hopeful and loved
by his companions. In all youthful
sports he took great delight and ever
loved and cherished his playmates. He
was faithful and trusty to any duties
imposed upon him, and was ever what
one could call IA good boy. But prOvi
dence, who sees all things and knows
best, has ruled this young life for 9TH
Ell, and we trust higher purposes. To
the parents who are so stricken with
this new grief, among many other sor-
rows they are called upon to bear, we
tender, as we know will all their neigh
bOrs and friends, sincere sympathy.
And to them we would offer the senti-
looked above for consolation.
God is a Spirit-we can trust
That he has left earth's shadow dim,
And laid aside his earthly dust
To grow in likeness unto Him.
God is Spirit--Ciod is Love
And closely folded to His breast
His spirit like a tender dove,
Shall in His love securely rest. p.

In the published Announcement Of
the price Of admission to the Expo
Aition the sum Of fifty cents. pay
able only ia half dollars, is fixed,
aud no deduction is made for child
ren. This is great mistake, and
will give much dissatisfaction. No
ono would enjoy or he more in
structed by this exhibition than the
young folks, and parents should be
encouraged to take them frequently
10 the Exposition. But with u
family Of four or Ave, or as is some
times the case eight or nine, it will
be a heavy expense to crafty the
curiosity and desires of such I'M
merous flock. 1t viii require at
least a dozen visits to see all that
will be on exhibition ia the Expo,
sition buildings, bat if families are
to be so heavily taxed it will deter
many from attending as frequently
as they would otherwise il there
wasa half price for children. Again,
it would be well on Sundays to re
duce the price Of admission ID
Twenty five cents, for the benefit OF
| the lahoring classes. These sugges
Itions, if adopted, would popalarize

receipts IN. q. States.
