IL is a seventeen mile level ana the water Is

than any building in Jersey City. We would have

II we 60 on spending large sums on IL from

what we NAV hesitate to do now aud the delay
will bring its disadvantages. The Norris Canal
could be purchased Tor three or four million dol
lars; say tour mlllions-two from Newark and two
from Jersey City. The interest on that sum would
be $4,000 less than our present annual expenul-
ture. That would be a saving OF $4,000 year 70

time. But above all we would have pure, an I'M

Micnaei Nixon was borne to HIS grave yesterday.
AL night long the friends and relatives OF the body
sat round the casket "waking' the corpse. AT
two O'Clock, yesterday afternoon, the fuaeral teok
place rom his late home, ~ Baxter street 1t is
dingy crazy, wooden house, with begrimed win
dows that are broken and patched, doors that are
r,ttlng on the hinges, staircase that threatens
to tumble down as you ascend, an atmosphere Of
filth and wretched misery. There was faint in
the very air OF the place, and the presence OF the
corpse and the sad faces and stined sobs of the
friends OF the departed added to it's gloomy and
wretched appearance.
Many oil the people who crowded into the room
where the corpse lay had known Nixon. Some
must have held friendly relations with him and
have remembered hi III with kindly feelings, Tor
many OF the girls and wo men sObbed as they
passed by the casket and looked Ter the last time
at his features. me casket lay near the window,

MICHAEL NIXON
Aged "a,
Died May 10, 1873.


The outside gathering was immense, but the
scene within was peculiarly impressive The dead
face, white and ghastly; the beautiful flowers,
filing the room with their odor; the brilliant sun
shine playing upon the features OF the dead the
beautiful casket; the stlhed means OF the women,
who were dressed In black; the cries OF the chill
dren-all these rendered the scene very sad one.
Mrs. Nixon, a essed in deep mourning, with ner
youngest child, mere infant in her arms, stood at
face OF her dead husband, and the child, in It's
happy ignorance looked down too. The little girl.
Katie Nixon, who stood by her side, understood
her mothers grief and cutched the casket wildly
when they wanted to carry 1t away. She begged
them, in an agony of tears, not to carry her dear
father away and wept bitterly. But at last the
moment came, ana mother and daughter kissed
his lips and he was borne away to the grave.
He was buried in Calvary Cemetery, where the
usual services OF the Catholic Church were held by
Father Joyce. The grave is in one Of the most
beautiful spots in the cemetery. He bought II him,
sell two years ago. His child, (which he had loved
better than any other human being, was buried
there, and they laid him by It's side.
