Execution of Green the Murderer.

BosToN, April 10.
Edward W. Green, the murderer of young
Converse at the Maiden Bank, about two
years ago, was executed this forenoon in the
Jail yard at East Cambridge, in the presence of
the authorities and citizens designated by
law, to whom tickets of admission were issued
by the Sheriff. Between two and three hum
dred were present within the walls, and per-
haps an equal number outside. The drop fell
few minutes after eleven. Green behaved
with comparative calmness.
The Boston Journal says He fell about
five feet, and the rope stretched to such an ex-
tent that his feet touched the ground, and it
was the necessary and painful duty of the
Deputies to draw the body up from the ground
and hold it thus suspended until life was ex-
tinct
While suspended in this manner the execu-
ted man drew his legs up several times, and
moved his arms and fingers at intervals for
fifteen or twenty minutes. His neck was not
broken by the fall, and it appears as if he was
literally choked to death. In justice to
Sheriff Kimball it should be stated that this
misfortune was in consequence OF the extra
ordinary stretching of the rope, which was a
new one, and which had been as thoroughly
tested and stretched previous to the execution
as it was possible for it to be. The knot,
which was adjusted so as to come under the
left ear, got twisted in the fall in such man
ner as to come directly upon the back Of the
neck, and the suferings of the unfortunate
man were thus made more intense. His
death was evidently painful one"

found in our columns to-day, a very correct
representation of the building occupied by
Messrs. Bryant, Stratton & Gray, tor their
Commercial College. The necessity for such
an institution in this, as well as most other
large cities, would not exist, and the institu-
ton could not be sustained, if proper atten-
ton were paid to penmanship, bookkeeping
and some other branches of practical impor-
lance in our public schools. AsAit is, the pub
lie feel the necessity for Commercial Colleges,
and we are pleased to learn that the one es-
tablished in this city by Messrs. Bryant, STRAIT
ton & Gray is succeeding beyond the most
sanguine expectations of its projectors. The
number of students for the full course, the
last year, vas 1S3-for partial course, No.
They now occupy the entire third floor of
Clapp's Block, having recently leased Congress
Hall in addition to the rooms formerly occu-
pied by them. Three teachers, beside the
Principal, are constantly employed, and the
students give evidence of their untiring indus
try. Mr.. Gray, the resident partner, has Sc
cured the confidence and esteem of our citi-
zens, by his prompt business habits and devo-
ton to his profession.
