anly character. The coffin was rosewood, silver-mounted, and the breast-plate bore the following inscription: Major-General W. H. C. Whiting, C. S. A. born in the State of Mississippi. died on Governor's Island, New York Harbor, March 10, 1865. Aged 40 years, 11 months and 18 days. After it had been closed, lady friends of the deceased placed upon the lid two beautiful crosses of white camelias, fringed with evergreen, and a wreath of the same. Shortly after 1 o'clock, Drs. Dix and Ogilvie began the solemn service, in accordance with the prescribed ritual of the Episcopal Church. The coffin was then placed in front of the altar, and as it was borne up the aisle, an incident that attracted some attention was the placing upon the coffin, by a young lady, a beautiful cluster of camelias, bound with a black ribbon. After the usual services, the prayer of the commitment was read by Dr. Dix, at the foot of the coffin. After the benediction, the body was borne

by the shoulder and cried, Doctor, the Yankees be upon thee. I arose quickly, but not so quickly as my companions, for Drs. Smith and Field were fast disappearing through the thick black jack forest, and Burkhardt, who had not unsaddled or tied There was also a barn of splendid tobacco near our camp, of which we were requested (by our enemies) to help ourselves.

Captain Patterson produced one from somewhere, and then I asked if I could not get another one for Drs. Field and Smith, but not another could be found anywhere.

, consequently, was unable to graduate. He was Professor of Anatomy at Winchester Medical College, 1856-58, and in the latter year, feeling the need of greater clinical advantage, he resigned his chair and went to Philadelphia, where, assisted by Drs. Lockett and W. H. Pancoast, he held a very large quiz class—a private class in operative surgery. He attended, also, the regular lectures at Jefferson Medical College. When the body of John Brown (of the Harper's Ferry infamy) was taken throufor they had been led to fear violence on account of threats. On their arrival they were received with great demonstration, during which Governor Henry A. Wise made a stirring speech and the city refunded the railroad fare of all the students. Drs. Lockett and McGuire finished the course with the students at the Medical College of Virginia in March, 1860, when Dr. McGuire went to New Orleans and established another quiz class.

Davis himself. This she did, declining the urgent requests of the Secretary of War to give them to him, but she obeyed orders and would give them to no one but Mr. Davis. During the summer she returned to Fairfax Court House where the army was lying, and took charge of the sick of the regiment, which was suffering from camp sickness, usual to young soldiers. She took possession of a church in the neighborhood, an old wooden structure, and fitted it up as a hospital, where, assisted by Drs. Gaillard and Johnson, the surgeons of the regiment, she tended the sick that whole summer, and without doubt saved some lives. When Beauregard moved to the Potomac, and occupied the lines of Mason's and Munson's Hills, within sight of the Capitol at Washington, she and her escort, her little boy, were frequent visitors to the picket line, and he attracted the attention and elicited the commendation of the Commanding Generals, Johnston and Beauregard, for the gallant way in which he rode w

Arkansas Pass were allowed to freeze to death in one night at Camp Douglas. I appeal to our common instincts, against such atrocious inhumanity. Id., p. 257. We find no denial of this charge. On May 10th, 1863, Dr. Wm. H. Van Buren, of New York, on behalf of the United States Sanitary Commission, reported to the Secretary of War the condition of the hospitals of the prisoners at Camp Douglas, near Chicago, and Gratiot street, St. Louis. In this report he incorporates the statements of Drs. Hun and Cogswell, of Albany, N. Y., who had been employed by the Sanitary Commission to inspect hospitals, and Dr. Van Buren commends these gentlemen as men of high character and eminent fitness for the work to which they had been assigned. It is from the statement of these Northern gentlemen that we quote. They caption their report from Albany, April 5th, 1863, and say, among other things, as follows: In our experience, we have never witnessed so painful a spectacle as that presented

striking traits of character. His father, in association with other physicians, had founded a Medical College at Winchester, which, for many years before the war, was largely attended by students. Here Hunter McGuire received his early medical training, which was developed further at the medical schools in Philadelphia. From 1856 to 1858 he held the Chair of Anatomy in the college at Winchester, but in the latter year he removed to Philadelphia to conduct a Quiz Class, in conjunction with Drs. Pancoast and Luckett. In this congenial work he was engaged when the John Brown raid, that doleful harbinger of the war, occurred. This gave occasion for the outspoken declarations of intense and bitter feeling which had long smouldered, and from which the medical students enjoyed no exceptional immunity. When the body of the executed felon was borne through Philadelphia, the dwellers in that city of Brotherly Love gave free and full expression to the sentiments which prevailed in their

while in conversation with the beautiful Miss Nena Kiger, a sharp piece of bone, making its exit from my wound, cut an artery, and secondary hemorrhage was produced. Miss Nena ran immediately for a surgeon, and, in an incredibly short time, returned with Dr. Hardy, who promptly applied sulphate of iron and bandaged my leg very tightly from the foot to the knee, thus checking the dangerous hemorrhage. The blood flowed in jets from the artery, and I soon became very faint and deathly sick. Drs. Weatherly and Hardy came to see me frequently during the day and night, and, although they gave me two large doses of morphine, I could not sleep at all for the pain. Poor John Attaway died of his wound at the residence of Mrs. Hist. He spoke often, while in his right mind, and in his delirium, affectionately of his mother, of Sergeant Stafford and myself. Mrs. Hist brought me some parting messages from him. May his brave spirit rest in peace! The severed nerves in my left foot, below

mp guard duty. He had set the butt of his shotgun on a low stump and was twirling it around when it slipped off the stump, the hammer, or hammers, struck the top of the stump, the gun was discharged and one or both loads passed through his right shoulder, entering the armpit and came out between the point of the shoulder and the neck, grazing his ear and singeing his hair. Being on duty nearby I was among the first to reach him. I took a good look at his face and saw on it the death pallor, Drs. Swanson and Gooch dressed the wound where the boy fell and he was removed to a nearby house. Next day Lieutenant D. W. Grandstaff came to me and said there was a wagon in camp from his neighborhood, and that if he knew his brother would die he could hold the wagon over till next day and send the remains home for interment at once by his friends without trouble or cost The lieutenant was overcome with grief, as it was his only brother, and he a mere boy about 16 years old and the pride of

The women of West Cambridge early in the war formed an association for the preparation and transmission of articles needful to wounded and disabled soldiers. The sum above-mentioned was collected by them from a variety of sources, and was used to purchase material to be converted by their forethought and industry into the means of relief and comfort to those who were suffering in the field. Three gentlemen contributed the sum of $670 in aid of recruiting; and the two physicians of the town, Drs. Hodgdon and Harris, tendered their professional aid to soldiers' families gratis, during their term of service. Among those who lost their lives in connection with the war, was the Rev. Samuel Abbot Smith. He was born April 18, 1829, grad. H. U. 1849, prepared for the ministry at Cambridge Divinity School, and settled over the Unitarian Society in Arlington June 27, 1864, where he remained till his death. He died of a malarious fever contracted at Norfolk, Va., where he had gone on mis

o Monday's market at Brighton. Large teams transported several hundred thousand chairs annually to the city. It was not until after the opening of the West Boston Bridge to Cambridge and the Mill-Dam Road, and the establishment of Railroads, that this stream of travel was diverted to other channels, and with the change came the establishment of the Factories and the country village of Waltham became the present prosperous manufacturing town. The Selectmen of Waltham, June 2, 1777, forbid Drs. Williams and Spring, inoculating any more in said Waltham for the Small Pox. Their hospital was an ancient dwelling on the land of Governor Gore on Grove Street, probably built by the Livermore family. Nathaniel Livermore, Selectman 1760-63, died here in 1783 at the age of 70. His son Moses afterwards occupied the house. It was afterwards tenanted by persons employed in a paper mill erected by Governor Gore where the Bleachery now stands. Governor Gore sold the old building, which stood
