o,darly fellows, and with the exception

H.Rn1SGToN's CAsE.-By telegram,
from The Clerk of the Supreme Court to
district Attorney Goldthw waite, informs-
,ion has been received that in the case Of
the State against James Harrington the
Snpreme Court has affirmed the ruling of
our District Court. Harrington shot and
killed John ii. Lynch in Phoebe on the
morning of the 9th Of July last. He was
indicted for murder, and was convicted
of murder in the second degree. He was
sentenced by Judge Fuller to Is years
IMPRISONMENT, and nothing but an es-
cape or the interposition Of the pardon
ING power can avail him now. The SEN
tence was hardly commensurate, in our
opinion, with the enormlty Of his crime.

Of brigadier general on parade.
