A curious paragraph has been out from the Californian

AN EXECUTION TN AVEBICA.—EarIy al 10 O'CIOCk on
the 12111 of November about 80 persons, who had been
furnished with tickets of adiniseion by the sheriff, were
awaiting the time of execution within the walls. With-
out, a large crowd, some 800 or 900, bad collected. In
Leonard-street there are three houms, from the roofs of
which a tolerable view of the yard of the prison can be
commanded, and these roofs were thronged with people,
who, it was understood, had paid sums ranging from 10c.
to 1500. oath, for the privilege of seeing what they could
see. The hour of execution was fixed by Sheriff Willet
at half-past 11 o'clock, and at tbattime there were about
100 spectators within the prison. At the time appointed
the deputy-sheriff, deputed for the office, entered the
cell of the condemned and pinioned him. Rodgers said
he was glad that the hour hail arrived, and assisted u
far as possible in the preparation for his death. The pro-
cession VISA formed, the sheriff and his deputy leading
the way. Rodgers followed with a firm step, between
two of his rev, advisers, fathers Curran and Sanguinetti,
attending. The doctors followed, four in number, Dr.
Cavil, the resident physician of the city prison ; Dr.
Quaokenbusli, Dr. Woodward, and Dr. Barry. Rodgers
held a crucifix in his hand, and on the boson of his shirt
a small cross of plaited gram, given him by father San-
guinetti, was fastened. He allowed no trepidation.
Even when lie joined in the responses of the service for
the dying, when the priests knelt and he attempted to
kneel and was unable to do so because the rope around
hia neck restrained him, he did not flinch for Oils in-
stant. He looked sickly, the consequence of 13 months'
confinement in a narrow cell, but otherwise he might
have been supposed a spectator rather than the chief
actor in the scene. At 22 minutes before 12 o'clock the
rope woe iltll. For nearly a minute he swung round
and vibrated to and fro, from tho force of the ascent and
the corresponding force of the fall. Then he commenced
to struggle, and rut eight minutes his quiverings were
fearful. He so far loosened his right min from the rope
whieh pinioned him that he was able to thrust his hand
within hie iddrt•biasont, where be tore at We heart, as
If there was the seat of all his pain. He had probably
