BATTLES AND LEADERS OF THE CIV
IL WAR."-Under this title The Century
will begin with the November number of
the present year, and continue without
intermission, if possible, a series of sep
arate papers, the object of which is to
set forth, in a clear and graphic manner,
the life and spirit of the most important
of modern military conflicts-the war of
the Union. The main portion Of the
scheme will be papers OF popular char
acter on the great engagements of the
war, by general officers high in command
at the time, either upon the Union or
the confederate side. In many instances
the contributor will be the officer of first
command, and in every instance par
ticipant in The engagements under con-
sideration. For instance, the battles of
Shiloh and Vicksburgh will be described
| by Gen. US. Grant, who will contrib
ute four papers to the series; General
Beauregard will write of the First Bull
Run; Gen. Mcclellan of Antietam; Gen.
Rosecrans of Stone River, ETC.. etc. The
illustrations of the scheme will receive
the most careful attention, and in this
particular it is thought that the series
will possess an unequaled historical i'll
terest. A strict regard for accuracy will
guide the preparation of the Illustrations.

of the late Norman Atwood of Cam
bridge. Two sons and daughter are
lett with her in their home. He was
man much sought for in places where
responsible trust and wise care are
needed. He served the town and
State in the Legislature Of 1876, when
the effort was pushed TO abolish the
Normal School in this part of the
State, where so many not likely TO go
to distance for a Normal School have
and ought to enjoy its advantages. His
work there was spoken Of as model
of diligence and self-forgetting faith
fulness, rs was also his service in the
important railroad matters of the
town. Seeing his abilities and pains
taking, many came to him with diff
cult business for advice and with mat
tiers of trust. Large as his own affairs
were, they were but small share of
his work. His father, as years grew
heavy on him, had just left the farm
and was building fine residence, an
ornament to the village, by the store,
where he might shift the burden OF
care upon Robert. The vile habits he
would wish his children to shun, he
wholly avoided himself. To have a
society for those of his own snd other
households, pure and clean, was clear
ly a prime object with him. His
thought and his money went for it.
He will be greatly missed in business,
social, educational ard religious cir
Giles, as well as in his own dear family.
An attentive listener in the House OF
God, deep and earnest enquirer into

long time that a great prop has
gone. The funeral services were held
at the house Wednesday at 1.3O P. m.
