Just before sunset twelye-pound0r
was run into position, and, under the
vigorous handling of Capt. ESTES and
his gunners, Numbered fourth a national
salute. Each discharge of the gun was
answered back by hearty cheers from
thousands of soldiers voices. While
this salute was being freda heavy skirm-
ish line struck out from the camp of the
Third Brigade, and charged with yells
and cheers across the half-mile of inter
vening space upon the gun, and as each
discharge bleached fourth, the line fell
to the ground, as they had often done
when rushing upon rebel canon. This
charge created considerable interest and
much amusement.
DRESS PARADE.
The Second Battalion of the Third
Brigade held dress parade at seven
o'clock, which drew large number of
spectators; after which Gen. Ripley and
his staff galloped around the race course
and attracted considerable attention by
their superb horsmanship. Last night
was an occasion of rare enjoyment in
camp. Songs were sung. The bands
were constantly employed about camp
with their concerts and serenades, and
the various headquarters were busy ex-
changing congratulations, making prep
arations for the enjoyments of the NOR
row, and resuming the old camp sports
they abandoned eight years ago. we
saw many parties enjoying themselves by
games of the service and in some In
stances, drinking water, to the success
of the first reunion of Vermont soldiers.

The Last Hours or the Wife Murderer.

The Last Hours or the Wife Murderer.
YOUNGSTOWN, N. j., May Is, 1873.
Luigi Lusgnani, the Italian wife murderer, who
tomorrow expiates his crime upon the gallows in
Morristown. has developed another strange freak.
A few days since he announced his intention OF
starving himself to death, so as to anticipate his
execution, and with this purpose In view he
steadily refused the iood that was set before him.
He adhered to his resolution for day or two, but
was so inconsistent as TO drink quantities of Rhine
wine and tea which were supplied him by some or
the inhabitants Of Morristown, who sympathized
with him in his unfortunate position.
Lusignani soon tired OF the starvation
dodge, finding how pleasant 1t was to
live perhaps and has gone upon the opposite tack.
He has commenced to eat so ravenousIy that his
meals are becoming too limited for him, although
provisions enough for any ordinary man in good
health are furnished; but whether he is endeavor
ing to kill himself by gluttony, lie intended to
do by starvation, cannot be ascertained, as he has
given no reason for his sudden increase Of appe-
lite. Since his incarceration he has been greatly
addicted to pr0fane language, ana. sad to say, as
his end approaches this tendency is not in the least
abated. His spiritual advisers are doing all in
their power to prepare him for his fate, but hith
ert0 they have not met with much success.

Nixon AND HIS DOOM.

How Nixon, the Murderer, Meets His
Coming Fnte-Thc Resignation and
Religious Hope He Manifests-Devotioh
or His Wife-A Lack Of Public Excite-
mcnt TO the Execution ON Friday.
The execution OF Nixon is fixed for Friday morn
ing. His counsel, Mr.. w. +. Howe, still continues
his unremittng exertions to obtain a stay OF pro-
ceedings, and yesterday, with associate counsel.
he applied to Judge ingalls,, at Albany, for stay
OF proceedings. He also has asked Governor Dix
for respite to enable an argument for stay Of
proceedings to be heard in the Court OF Oyer and
Terminer in this city. No decision in either case
has been arrived at yet. In the meantime Nixon,
with a wisdom that is very commendable, has
resigned himself to his fate, and expects to die at
the hands OF the public executiOner on Friday.
Under the faithful and wise ministratons OF Father
Duranquet NIXON has passed out OF the region OF
despair which so thoroughly surrounded him Tor
several days after receiving his sentence into an
unconditional resignation TO the awful circum
stances in which he finds himself This quiet calm
ness Is manestly traceable to his implicit trust in
the lath OF his Church. Religion, as manifested In
Catholicism, has Lit up the valley and the shadow
OF death, and he walks toward the threshold with
consciousness of hope that fears no evil. In
structed in all his religious duties by Father Du-
ranquet he has been an apt and confding son, and
he has not now Tor many days passed allowed
ms mind to be distracted by any other occupation
than that Of reading religious books. He objects
decidedly to professional iItervlews he has hor.
ror OF newspapers and wholesome dread OF
HIS regular visitors are Father Duranguet and the
Sisters OF Mercy. His wife, OF course, Is in attend
ance every day upon him, and manifests the
deepest solcitude for his comfort. The Scriptural
aphorlsm, illustrative OF the devotion OF women,
that finds It's expression in The last at the cross,
the first at the sepuchre.n has its truthiulness
shown in the faithful attendance OF the wives OF the
murderers Yesterday afternoon Mrs. simmons
aud her beautiful children, Mrs. King and Mrs.
Nixon were in the Tombs together; each Of these
doing all that their love could suggest to smooth
the pathway to the grave which their re-
spective husbands fast approaching. The
officials at the Tombs are somewhat surprised at
the apathy Of the public in regard to the execution
OF Nixon. There Is no excitement manifested,
there are comparatively few applications for adj
mission TO the prison, and the day appointed for
the execution does not seem to be looked forward to
with any OF the public interest that generally sur
rounds these dread events Nixon Is attended
night and day by two deputy sheriffs. On Thurs
day the gallOws-that hide0us wooden instrument
OF death-will be brought out and erected In the
prison yard. Sheriff Brennan has made every ar
rangement Tor carrying out the dread sentence Of
the law, ana Under Sheriff Joel Stevens will, with
his efficient star OF deputy shers, be found equal
to the solemn occasion.
