him to preach a funeral sermon, and was
directed by the family to the field where they
supposed Mr.. Parker to be. On looking for
him he was found dead, the body tossed over
the fence several rods from where the pitch.
fork was lying. The horns and head OF the

them to be label for some Chinese inven-

made that he should print 6oo,O 900 copies.-
The work was finished, and all delivered,
with the exception Of about one quarter Ol
the bills, which, together with the plates,
were left in Harrison's care, until she left

About 4 o'clock this morning, our citizens
were startled BY the cry Of Fire which was
found to proceed from the northeast base
ment room IN the State House, This room
was used for, storing old documsnts, paper,
&C., and latterly BY the painters al work on
the bnlldins for storing their paints, oils,
&C., and for mixing paints. Last evening
a couple Of boxes Of large plate glats bad

tire contents of the room have been burned,
Or so badly damaged BY the water thrown
into It, as to be almost worthless. The en-
gines were promptly on the ground end soon
extinguished the flames. How the fire orig.
mated is . mystery, but II is though. to be
the work Of an incendinEy. The loss OF
paints, oils, glass, &C., is estimated at from
$500 TO $500. The fire was confined sole

boy Murderer to be lfnnres

This morning, In the Supreme Court,
James Rodgers, the boy who murdered John
SwanstoD in Tenth avenOe was ordered to
be executed on Friday, the l9th day Of No
Vember next. Rodgers had respectable
connections living in the county, hut CON-
ing to this city, he was soon led into evil
courses. One night, while engaged in .
drunken frolic with two Of his young asso-
ciates, he net Dir. Swpnston, q respectable
old gentleman, walking In the street with
bis wife. Some Of the party josted against
Mr. Swanston, q few words passed between
them, and Rodgers without more ado drew
4 knife and stabbed the man, infictinK q
mortal wound. p. For some time Rodgers
eluded the officers OF iuStice, but wab finally
captured, tried in the General Sessions, con-
Victed and sentenced 10 be hanged. He
youth and prepossessing appearance excited
a great deal of FympOthy, and no efforts
were spared to avert his impending fate
The Governor was petitioned for pardon,
but 1t was refused. His counsel applied to
the Supreme Court, and obtained an order
Tor new trial, on the ground OF error In
the proceedings before General Sessions |;
but the Court of AppeHis has reversed that
decision, they affirmed the judgement Of the
CouEt Of Sessions, and ordered ihstths sen.
tence be executed. Accordingly the Sd.
preme Court this morning Issued its warrent
commanding the sheriff to cIuse Rodgers to
be hanged on the 18th day Of November
next. The highest legal tribunal in the
state has just passed upon his case, the Ex.
ecntive clemency has been denied him. and
nothing apparently for the-unf6rtu-
nate young man but to prepare for the expia.
