extremely and disag The coEn is suf-

CASEY, THE MURDERER OF JAMES KING OF VII
11AM-We gather the following particulars as to th
former life of the murderer Casey whose crime crea
ated such an excitement in San Francisco d shor
time since, from the New York Evening Post Of til
4 10th inst: W. A. sf#f L ss,6s
Byreferring to the records Of the Court of Genera
Sessions Of this city, 1T seems that Casey was conyic
ed Of grand larceny on the 5th Of September lS4s
8sbefore Recorder 5ra allmadge and Aldermen DENIM
Mullins and Patrick Kelly and that following hi
conviction, Casey was sentenced to serve two yeal
4 ae hard labor. Tie complaint against Casey, an
which resulted in his conviction, was made by Mr
Caroline Kelley, then residing at No. u Laigl
street
The facts on trial of the prisoner showed that q
4 the sth day Of November, lS4s, he applied to MI
Kelley to hire some household furniture ensisting
bedsteads mattresses, bureaus carpet, table and loo
ing glass, valued at $50 for the purpose as he re
resented, of going to keeping house at No. 34 Gil
Hall Place; but, instead Of doing as he pretende
4 Casey took the property in question to the auctic
store Of Terrence Boyle No lS5 Chatham street. an
sold it for 500, onethird of its estimated value poe
eting the proceeds. Casey, in his examination, d
!. fore being fully committed to the Tombs for tria
stated that he wastwentyone years of age, was bo,
in Brooklyn, anaa batter by trade. II vi

3s3 CoTToN IN CoScoRD1A P PAR1sH.-We are compelle
from the accounts that reach us from nearly eve
quarter Of our parish to say that for years past the
never has been poorer prospect for good crop til;
the present year exhibits Just at this time. ~
Everystak Of cotton in the vast fields of Concord
after if has gained stand is liable to at least
deadly antagonists, viz lice, rust, locust, the b
4 worm, the army worm and the rot. E57s g5
All but the last two are with us now, engaged
their various acts of hostility. The rust as is ge
rally the case, has seized upon all the stems a
branches that were infested with lice; the ocusts
: aboundng and very destructive on many OF the p
productive plantations in the parish and MI w llt
Deal, who is now experimenting his twentieth ann
crop on the Whitehall Plantation, showed us Saturd
j, last. cotton buds pierced by the bell worm, viii
equally brings ruin to the bud before blossom as
the boil after it.
1t really appears to us that this is only "the beg
ming of the end for our cotton prospects in this
ton of Louisiana the present year. sl y i*s H.
