The Constellation Of the United .Sates.--
For the use of Schools and Academies.
BY Geo. S. Williams, A. NJ. Cambridge
WEIGH, Bigelow & Company.
This is the title Of book for use in COM
mon schools, and is designed asa text book
and guide to correct understanding of the
principles upon which our government is
founded, which at this time is more impor-
tant than ever. We trust it will find its
way into our schools and academies. The
subject is taken up in a systematic manner,
aud by means of questions and answers, is
easily adapted to the comprehension of the
youth. 1t also contains Washington's Fare
well Address. Declaration of Independence,
and also very interesting summary state
ment of the formation of the State govern
ments, and their admission into the Union.
We hope ii may have the introduction to
families and schools which its merits fully
deserve.

and we presume the fret military funeral
ever held in that place or this town. It Is
estimated that one thousand people were
present. Much credit Is due to Capt.
A,cherson for the manner in which he con-
ducIci tae procession, and also to the West
minister Band for their excellent music.
William I. Battles went to Saxion's
River some four years since, where he mar
ried an only daughter of Mr.. Thomas c.
Howard, and lived with the family ill he
enlisted into the LIST Vermont company Of
Sharp Shooters last summer. He was 20
years Ct age at the time Of his death. He
was carpenter by trade, and has always
borne reputation Of strict integrity and
good morals in business always attentive
and Industrious. AS an instance Of his it,
dustrious habits. we may state that while
in the army and off from military duty, he
worked at his trade for which he was al
lowed forty cents per day extra. lie was
on expert with the rife, aud when the
Sharp Shooters were called for, felt il his
duty to enlist, and did so against the most
earnest entrea,ies OF his wife and the rest
Of the family, but he said his country need
ed his services aud he must 90. His wife
seemed from the first to have an imp ression
that he would no. survive, and we now re.
call an affecting scene in this village, as she
separated from her husband at the depot
last summer, while on his way TO the seal
of war. As they were strangers to US, il
had passed from our mind till recalled by
the painful circumstances of which we are
writing. Mr.. Battles was first taken sick
with the measles, and had partially recov.
cred, but took cold which resulted in death
We understand the chaplain of the regi
ment has written letter TO the widow, rel
alive 10 his last sickness, which is full o
hope and encouragement-statin that MIR
B. was fully reconeiled and happy in tht
anticipation of death, and expressed hi
readiness to meet his blessed Jesus. Thu
has he passed away gloriously. while in tn,
service of his country, and thus, too, mus
we add another victim to this most wicket
rebellion. May God comfort the widow
and the family to which he belonged!

and the Westminster Cornet Band, who
with patriotic kindness volunteered their
services for the occasion, were present and

marched to the Baptist church. the body
being borne by soldiers detailed for that
purpose. The church was filled to over
flowing, very large number being unable

between thee and the grave showing the
extreme brevity of life and the importance
of preparation for death. and every one
present could bpt eSince the emotions of
their hearts, rhus proving the truth of the
speakers remarks. At the close of the
services the corpse which was in military
uniform was exposed to view for all pres
ent, and then escorted TO tae grave by the
military. A section Of eight soldiers fired
fhree yollies over the grave, and thus closed
fae interesting bat soleun and impressive
