Hung.

--James Holiday was hung at Pontatoc, Miss., on the 7th instant. He met his fate recklessly, expressing a wish that "snow was on the ground, so that he might track a few rabits," as he went to the gallows. He confessed the murder, but said that he was hired to do it — by whom he did not say.
