agent for Mr. and Mrs. Barney Williams. When 

 Mr. Williams opened the Broadway Theatre, 

 Mr. Moore was appointed manager, a position 

 he retained until the theatre was closed. 



July . SCHNEIDER, General EDWARD N., 

 an officer of volunteers; died in Dresden, Sax- 

 ony, whither he had gone for the restoration of 

 his health. He entered the volunteer service 

 in September, 1861, as major of the Eighth 

 Kansas Infantry, heing afterward promoted to 

 lieutenant-colonel, and serving until June 11, 

 1864, when he resigned, and was shortly after- 

 ward appointed Adjutant-General of Kansas. 

 He was engaged in the battles of Ohickamauga 

 and Mission Ridge, the siege of Chattanooga, 

 and several minor engagements, and bore him- 

 self with great gallantry. Never a robust man, 

 his health was seriously impaired by the ex- 

 posures, hard work, and privations to which 

 the regiment was subjected, and he left the 

 service with a constitution so shattered that 

 he gradually but surely sank to the grave. 



Aug. 4. SHANKLIN, Mrs. LYDIA, a centena- 

 rian; died in Hillsborough, N. 0., aged 112 

 years. At the period of the Revolutionary 

 War she was a grown woman. In 1770 she 

 attended the organization of the Orange Pres- 

 bytery at Hawfield, and was desirous to wit- 

 ness its centennial meeting in 1870, but the in- 

 firmities of her great age prevented. 



Aug. 9. OHAMPNEYS, BENJAMIN, an eminent 

 Pennsylvania jurist; died at Lancaster, aged 

 71 years. He had served in the Legislature of 

 that State, as Attorney-General, and President 

 Judge of Lancaster County. 



Aug. 13. DAVIS, WOODLTJRY, an eminent 

 jurist, reformer, and author ; died in Portland, 

 Me., aged 53 years. He was born in Standish, 

 Me., July 25, 1818, and early removed with 

 his father's family to Brooks, Waldo County, 

 where he was educated ; studied law at Bel- 

 fast, and entered upon the practice of his pro- 

 fession in Portland, the same year receiving 

 the appointment of Judge of the Supreme 

 Court of Maine. A difference of opinion oc- 

 curring between Governor Wells and himself 

 upon the appointing power, Judge Davis was 

 removed from office, but, upon a change in the 

 political character of the State, was reap- 

 pointed the following year, and again in 1864. 

 In the spring of 1866 he was commissioned as 

 postmaster of Portland, and relinquished the 

 law for a time. In 1870 his commission was 

 renewed for another term of office. Judge Da- 

 vis always took an active part in the temperance 

 reform, and was instrumental to a large degree 

 in shaping the legislation of the State upon that 

 question. He was also an original antislavery 

 man, and one of the founders of the Republican 

 party. He was a graceful and forcible writer. 

 He wrote much for the newspapers of his na- 

 tive State and for the New York Independent, 

 and contributed frequently to the pages of 

 magazines and religious periodicals. A few 

 years, ago he published a volume, of a religious 

 character, entitled "The Beautiful City." 



Aug. 14. BOGGS, Rev. GEORGE W., a Pres- 

 byterian clergyman and missionary; died in 

 Pickens County, S. 0. In 1831 he embarked for 

 India as a missionary, and was stationed at 

 Ahmednuggur, where he labored zealously 

 until failing health compelled him to retire 

 and devote his remaining strength to the dis- 

 tribution of religious books. He was a man 

 of remarkably sincere faith and purity of life. 



Aug. 19. CROWELL, Rev. WILLIAM, D. D., a 

 clergyman, journalist, and author; died at 

 Flanders, N. J., aged 65 years. He was born 

 at Middlefield, Mass., in 1806, received a very 

 thorough academical education, and entered 

 the ministry in the Baptist denomination. He 

 was pastor for some years at Waterville, Me. 

 In 1838 Brown University conferred on him 

 the degree of A. M., and the same year he took 

 the editorial charge of the Christian Watch- 

 man, the leading Baptist periodical in New 

 England, to which he had previously been a 

 large contributor. He conducted this paper 

 with great ability till 1848, when it was con- 

 solidated with the Christian J2eflector,-{md.~M.r. 

 Crowell went West and edited for several years 

 the Western Watchman at St. Louis. During 

 the war and subsequently he was pastor of a 

 church in Central Illinois, and had, we believe, 

 some connection, either temporary or per- 

 manent, with Shurtleff College, Alton, 111. In 

 1857 Rochester University conferred on him 

 the degree of D. D. Dr. Crowell was a vigorous 

 and elegant writer. His published writings, 

 aside from editorials, were mostly denomina- 

 tional. He wrote a number of Sunday-school 

 books, several of them of great merit ; a valu- 

 able work on Church polity, entitled "The 

 Church-member's Manual;" and a "History 

 of Baptist Literature for Fifty Years," for the 

 Missionary Jubilee volume.

 tic and St. Lawrence Sinking Fund, the Maine

 for Governor on the Bell-Everett ticket in 

 1860.
