THE PARMA ATROCITY,

The Daily News observes that, though the legal guilt
of the Parma atrocity falls upon the populace, a large
share of the moral responsibility connected with it lies
at the door of those who purposely prolong the cruel
suspense in which the Duchies are kept.

LATEST FROM AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE NOVA SCOTIAN,

The Montreal Ocean steam-ship. Company's
screw steamer, Nova Scotian, Captain Borland,
arrived in Liverpool at a late hour last night,
having sailed from Quebec on the Ist instant.
The Nova Scotian brings 110 passengers, of
whom 36 were first cabin.

In leaving Quebec, she passed the Hungarian
(s.s.) entering the port. •

The funeral of Mr. John Head, son of his
Excellency the Governor-General, took place on
30th ult. The public bodies and a large number
of the citizens of Quebec went out to Spencer
Wood to attend the melancholy ceremony, as a
token of the sympathy they feel for the bereaved
family.

The San Juan difficulty was engaging consi-
derable attention in Quebec; but no additional
intelligence concerning the immediate state of the
dispute is conveyed in the files received by this
arrival.

The New Orleans papers received at New York
contain detailed accounts -of the shooting of Dr.
Robert M. Graham by Mr. ,Ernest Toledano, a
brief telegraphic despatch in reference to which
has been published. Dr. Graham, it appears,
has been superseded as city physician, and chal-
lenged Toledano, who was the Know-Nothing
candidate for clerk of one of the.o District
Courts, as one of the parties instigating his
removal ; but the challenge was declined. The
affray took place in the Ruby Saloon, where
they accidentally met. Graham thrust hl.l
halid into the breast of his coat, as if to draw a
pistol, whereupon Toledano pulled out his
revolver, and fired every barrel. One bullet
struck the wall, and four entered Dr. Graham's
right breast, all within a few inches of each
other. Dr. Graham rushed out on the
banquette, where he staggered half round, and
fell into the street on his back. He was
immediately picked up and carried into
the bar-room, where he soon afterwards ex-
pired. The coroner's investigation established
the fact that threats have been repeatedly made
against Toledano by Graham) and that the latter
had sought for the former with the intention of
taking his life. It was also shown that Toledano
had been apprised of these threats, and knew that
his life was in danger, and that in consequence he
had prepared himself for, the worst. Under the
circumstances, the jury did not hesitate to give a
verdict of justifiable homicide.
