EXECUTION OF DOUCHY, THE MURDERER.

The following account of the execytion of the Cook, Harry Doueey, for the murder of the Cap- tain of the Brigt. Zero, is furnished by the Halifax Evening Express of the 2th January. ‘The exe- cution touk place in the jail yard ow the muruing ef that day. The Express says >—

About half-past six ocleck the gates were opened, and the public adwitted. There were not more than two huedred persons present. The gallows was erected at south side of the jail grounds, and two courpanies of the 17th Regt. formed two sides of a square.

After all the preparations were made, the cul- prit came forward from the jail pinioned, aupport- ed on either side by the Very Rev Dr. Hannan aud the Rev. Mr. Carmody, both of whom aa cended the scaffold. The rope being adjusted, gud Doueey having expressed bis intention oi speakicg, silence was immediately preserved.

He said he was there this morning to suffer for a erime which, if be had not been repeat- edly urged by one whoin they all knew, would never have been committed by -hiat, He reiter- ated this statement again, though in different words, and declared that hie published confeseion was true. The clergymen, sheriff, and other offi- e.als baving shook hands with Doueey, they descended the steps. The hangman then took his place in the bux, and at a given signal the drop fell, and in a few minutes the untortunate man ceased to breathe. In shaking hands with the clergymen, the rope slipped, and the knot got placed at the back of the neck. . Thia caused. a evnvulsive struggle before death ensued.

We learn that Doucey was deeply grateful to the Very Rev. Dr. Hannan for unremitting at- tention since his conviction. The Rev. gentleman, and the Rev. Mr. Carmody, were with him until eleven o'clock last night, and again at four o’clock this morning. Yesterday the Arehbiehop, assisted by the Rev. Messrs. Hannan and Power, ad- ministered to hin the Sacrament of Confirmation.

When the body was cut down it was placed in a deu! coffin, and interred this afternuun, ia the Roman Cathvlie Cemetery.

The unfortunate man died with perfect resig- nation, deeply penitent, and fully satiefied tu give up his own life for the one he had taken.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.

[From the Racine Journal, Jan. 10.5

A horrible murder occurred last Friday even- ing in the county of Walworth. The meagre particulars which we managed to obtain from a man living in the vicinity are as follows :—

A farmer living between Lyons and Geneva had sold his farm for $4,000, and on the morn- ing of the murder had started West to purchase another farm. About 8 o’elock in the evening three men, dressed in soldiers’ clothes, entered the house and murdered the man’s wife and cluld, and then proceeded to ransack the house. A neighbour, living across the road, hearing a noise, rusi.ed over there, taking with him a re- volver. Upon entering the house the first sight that met his gaze was the bodies of the murdered mother and child, weltering in blood.
