Phillips, in this city, were con siderably surprised last Friday morn ing when a dispatch from Alexan dria notified them of his death in that city. Thliey were not even aware that he had been sick, bhence they were shocked when this tnews came. There is a deeper tonch of human sentiment couniieen with his death which causes a profounder sense of sympathy would have been experi enced at his death-though he was generally liked-and this was and is due to the heavy affiction to which he was subjected acarcely a year ago. Then, in one grave he laid a wife and bright, manly promising boy, the boy of his hope, and who was well ard at his studies just the day before he died. A heavy blow this was to the brave, strong man; but like the brave, noble man he was he bore his sorrow in silence and faced the world' for his three small children who depended on him for guidance and support. And now that strong arm is lifeless, the genial e3 e has lost its sparkle, the friendly voice is silent, the body and all of mortality is listless, inant I mate forever. We knew George W. Phillips inti- - mately and liked him as a man, and as a brother of the lodge. As Redl * Mn many a live tilt have we had, fun as the foundrtion thereof, good -feeling during its course, and hearty 1cheer at their close. He was a man la , every inch of him; fraternal in his J relationship, faithful to his vows as Ssuchb, and true to his citizenship. An r honest, horny-handed son of toil was he, being a ship carpeiter and calker, and was most excellent in both call a ings. ,t Farewell to you, George Phillips, , that God, whom yot honored as a d Mason, the Great Spirit whom you bowed to as a Red Man, will weigh your virtues in the balances of truth, Sfidelity and love and give to you the f- due and reward that such a man ls should reeeive. r To the orphaned children of Geo.
