in some quarters. The fpe Protestant

must have been injured, perhaps killed, by
the falling bricks. 1t will take about $4oC

b2~ Pool, THE MURDnRnR.-Doo. Pool,
now confined in the county jail for the
murder of Adam Buch, has just three more
days to live. The Governor has not sigut-
fed any intention on his port to commute
the sentence or postpone the execution, and
everything is being prepared for tho scene
of horror. The execution will take place
on the hillside, north of the city, at the
same place where Burns was hung. Pool
seems to have resigned himself TO his fate,
though tits said that he is by no means in
condition to meet his offended God. a
day OF two ago he asked for a pair of shoes
and stockings which he was assured be
should have. Upon being asked if he
wanted anything else, he replied, glancing
at his we'll worn apparel, "No, 1 guess these
will do for all I'll want with them" He
has some money coming to him from the
Government for his services as soldier,
aud he has manifested some anxiety to have
the claim settled up. Tho ring dove which
has been his solitary companion during the
whole of his confinement still remains with
him, and doubtless afOrds him great deal
Of comfort.
