forty men of the 47th New York Vols.—
In the rear of the wagon was the squad of
men who were.to act as the firing party;
also Chaplains Butts of the 47th N. Y.
Vols. and Hill of the Brd N. H. Vols., who
acted as his spiritual advisers, followed in
the rear by the medical deportment, who
were to assist in the execution. The pro
cession was headed by the Provost Mar
shal. Maj. Van Brent
The procession moved forward to the
sound of muffled drums, —the escort with
shouldered arms, and the guard with arms
reversed. Nothing was neglected which
could add to the solemnity of the occasion
and make it las impressive as possible.
Along the route, the guards and sentinels
presented -arms, and crowds of soldiers,
civilians and contrabands pressed forward
eager to catch a glimpse of the doomed
man. The prisoner sat on his coffin un -
moved, no tear bedewing his cheek, —no
moisture on his brow—-there he sat al
most without motion, his head resting
on his hand. The procession halted in
front of the General and his staff, and the
condemned man sprang out nimbly, and
without assistance, calmly awaiting fur
ther orders. The coffin was taken out
and placed beside him. His sentence was
then read to him by Lieut. Gal lard, Adj.
of the Provost Marshal's force, to which
he listened without the slightest emotion.
Alter the reading of the sentence the
Provost Marshal addressed a few words to
him telling him his sentence was about to
be carried into eft'ect. and if he desired to
say anything he was at liberty to do so.

spoke as follows:

himself his outer clothing and in hh

eyes were bandaged with a white hand

ALBERT W. LUXT.
HIS PARENTAGE, EAKLT IJFE Ac., AC.
Albert W. Lunt, abas William W.
Lunt, was born in Hampden, Me., of
respectable parents, who endeavored to
train him up for usefulness in afterlife,
but being of a restless nature, be soon be
came tired of parental restraint, and seiz
ing a favorable opportunity he ran off
with a circus company, which was so
journing in his native town. He contin
ued with the company for several years.
Subsequenlly he was convicted for horse
stealing and sentenced to the Penitentiary.
Having served his term, he was re
leased and soon after joined the regiment
in which he served up to the time of
committing the crime which caused his
death. He was nearly twenty-two years
of age,, and of remarkable physique, being
over six feet in height arid possessing a
frame proportionably large and muscular.
Thus ended the execution, the second
of the kind, which has taken place during
the “war, and may it be the last. May
this prove a warning to us all. It cer

respected by our superiors, than to be
disobedient and be punished. They who

FROM FREDERICKSBURG.
An old broker, who has operated in
Philadelphia, New York, and Boston for
thirty or forty years past, is writing an
interesting set of u R«»llections" for the
colnmijs of the Commercial BuHetuu, from
which |wc extract the following sketch ol
the lasi money transaction of the old Bank
of the United States:
The glory of the great regulator had all
departed—no crowds of men nor millions
of money resounded in the marble palace,
which had been erected at a cost of a half
million of dollars—only an occasional
footstep rang with startingly load rever
berations in tbe high vaulted bankingrooms,
and all the offices around it were silent
and deserted as the grave—Thompson,
the transfer blerk, kept a shadow of the
old high estate in a distant part of the
building, but in the immediate business hall.
Mr. Patterson, alone with the old grey
headed porter, kept watch and ward, each
day playing the farce, that the Bank still
lived, op the identical spot where he had
paid out billions and trillions of money.
One day a stranger enters, evidently
from the West—far West.
Fhr a moment he is struck by the tomb
like aspect ahd deathly silence of the place,
but discovering some one at the- distant
counter, advances.
The awakened echoes of his own steps
gave the only sign of life.

From the vaulted ceiling back
in distinct words “ There's no cash here.”
The stranger started, looked up to,
whence the reply came, started at the tel
ler, and gathering up his bills departed
without another word. Mr. Patterson
also started at the Delphic oracle, and bis
mind having for some time been uneasy
under his false position and the sad memo
ries it brought, determined to the bank
ing hall whose fame was dead, and post
notes fled, and all bat him departed.” So
little an incident decided him, and he left
the scene of his former useful and brilliant
career forever.
The remains of the Bank were, removed
some back rooms in No. 76 Walnut street,
and the building sold, after a time to the
Federal Government, who now occupy it
as a custom house. Upon the body of the
dead monster there sat for many years
after »n inquest of ghouls, rich men of
high standing and character, who did not
hesitate, tb draw $3,500 a year for each
other out of a little left to so many thou
sand-widows, orphans, and broken down
merchants; and continued to feast upon
the crushed orapge till every drop of juice
was sacked dry, when they too resigned;
and the once glorious Bank of the United
States became like the paseless fabric of a
dream.

A SftXHEREL-
A BIT or ADVICE FOB BOVS.
When I was about six j«up old, one
morning. going to school, a ground squir
rel nm into its bole bdfere a*. Ithought,
now I would bare fine fun. As there was
a stream of water jam at band, I thought
I would pour water iota tbe bale till it
would be full and wbea tbe Hide fellow
put op bis bead, I eras going to kill Ida.
I got a trough from behind a sugar maple,
and was soon pouring tbe water in oo the
poor squirrel. I could hear it teruggiing
to get up, and said, “ Oh, my little fel-
soon have you now.” Just them,
1 heard a voice behind me. “ Well, my
boy, what have you got in there?” I
turned and saw a good old man, with
white lodes, who had seen sixty winters.
Why,” said I, “ I have a ground squir
rel in here, and am going to drown it out"
“When 1 was a little boy,” said be,
‘■more than fifty years ago, 1 waa engaged
one day just as you are, drowning a squir
rel ; and an .old man like me came along,
and said to me, are a Bttle boy ;
now if yuu were down in a narrow hole
like that, and I should come along and
poor'water down on you to drown yon,
would you think I was doing as Td be
done by? God made the little squirrel,
and life is as sweet to it, as it is to you;
and why would you ' torture to death an
innocent little creature that God has
made?’” Said he, “ I have never for
gotten that, and never shell; I have never
killed any harmless creature lor fun since;
and now my dear boy, I want you to re>-
member this while you live, and when
tempted to kill another pour little inno
cent animal or bird think of this; and
mind, God don't allow us to kill his pret
ty little creatures for fun.”
More than fifty years have pasted since,
and I never forgot what the good man
said, nor have I killed the least animal
for fun since. Now, yon see, it is ninety
years since this advice was given, and it
has not lost its influence yet.

A cock had also been shat np in one of
his safes, with a pound of fresh batter,
and the safe was submitted to the trial of
a tremendous heat for more than a week.
The legs of (he safe ware melted off, and
the door itself was so far fused as to re
quire the use of a cold chisel to get it
open. When it was opened, the cock was
found frozen dead, and the batter so
that a man who knocked off a piece of it
with a hammer had his eye put oat by a

out of a similarity of names,
Brown vs. Brown. The pontiff, one
James Brown complained of the 'defend

taken a letter out of the post office, which
was the property of the plaintiff, James
Brown, mid no way belonged to the de

that the letter was from Buffalo, feat be
expected a letter from there, feat fee letter
was from Mary Brown, who was his wife,
and be had a right to take fee . letter and
open it under this state of bets. Plaintiff
insisted that fee letter was from Jus wife,
Mary Brown, it turned out feat both
parties had wives living in Boffido, whose
names ware each Maiy Brown and that
the affair was a dear mistake. The Com
