HOMICIDE AT THE TAUNTON LUNATIc AsY-
LuM.-For upwards of a week past the people
of East Cambridge have been much excited
over the death OF a man named James Parke,
residing in Armory street, which occurred in
Wednesday of last week, after he had been a
patient there for little more THAI day The
circumstances attending his death were such
as to justify the feeling which has been mani
tested, for it was evident that most outrage
Gus assault had been committed ON Parks,
either by the police of Cambridge or the at
tendants of the Insane Hospital at Taunton,
as death ensued from the injuries the poor fell
low received.
Notice of the death was received from the
authorities at the hospital at Taunton on
Thursday, the day after it occurred, and the
body arrived in Cambridge on Friday last,
when Coroner Wellington was called to hold
an inquest on it, and being medical man, he
at once saw necessity for post norton ex-
animation to be made, which duty he directed
DR. Morrill, Wyman of Cambridge to perform.
The autopsy was made on Saturday last and
revealed state of things for which even the
doctor himself was not prepared, as he had
seen the deceased the day before he was taken
to Taunton ION the Monday of the same week.
when, with the exception of his insanity, the
only trouble with him appeared to be from
blows he had received on his head.
On opening the head the brain showed some
signs of severe blows, but there were none to
show these to be the prime cause Of death,
though they may have complicated the death
but on opening the chest, fourteen ribs aoert
found to be broken, two of them in two places,
and the breast bone was also found to be brok-
en-, the right lung perforated and the tissues
torn, and of course this at once accounted fol
the death. The coroner's jury summoned in
the case decided that the injuries were infict-
ed subsequent to Mr.. Parks committal to the
Asylum

Our ScHooLs.-Our cautious legislators have
had the grace to pass the bill providing for
County supervisorships for schools, and for
County institutes. These two reforms, though
not embracing all that ought to be done for
our common schools, will contribute greatly to
their efficiency. Superintendent johnson is
entitled to the gratitude of the friends of edu-
cation throughout the State for the vigor with
which he has pushed these and other measures
of educational reform. Next y ear, with Leg
islature that has sympathies with the nine

body of an infant was found on Elm street, be-

had evidently been buried in the snow bank

The POLITICAL TROUBLES IN VR0lNIA.-An
Associated Press dispatch from Richmond says
that the Republican nominations made at Pc
tersburg, Thursday, are not satisfactory to any
party. The opponents of Gov. Wells have is
sued an address recommending as the indie
pendent nominee for. Governor, G. Walker, of
Norfolk; Lieut.. Governor, John f. Lewis, of
Rockingham; for Attorney General, J. G. Tay-
lor, of Montgomery county. This is now be-
ing circulated for signatures, and already a
number of prominent names have been signed
The address sets forth that the nominations Of
Thursday were not properly obtained land that
they are not calculated to secure union in the
Republican ranks, and that the parties nomin-
ated are not true to the State. Walker, the
nominee for Governor, is northern man who
has settled in Virginia and invested two hun
dred thousand dollars in internal and other i'm
provements. Taylor and Lewis are native
Virginians of standing and responsibility.

STANDARDIZATION OR NoT?-It will be seen by
our special dispatch giving an account Of the
execution OF Harris that the criminal was act
ualiy stransied" as we anticipated. We have
used the term strangulation constantly during
the capital punishment controversy as convey
ing in single word an accurate idea of hang
ing. People who approve the thing have been
intensely Mortified at the word, but the event
has justified us. Now, seriously, isn't this
strangulation barbarous thing? Wouldn't
the guillotine or the garrote be better? Is
there any more horrible and uncivilized method
of taking life than the one to which our State
authorities are so much attached?

The Reported Death Of she Pope.

The Reported Death of ihe Pope.
The report of the death of Plus Ninth,
though without foundation, has attracted pub
lie attention to home and caused careful OBJ
servers OF current events to consider the posi-
BILE contingencies that might arise from va
cancy in the Pontificate. The Popes, as is
generally known, are elected by the College
of Cardinals, which is convoked for that pur-
pose upon the decease of Pope. The EN-
peror of France has cousin upon whom the
red hat of q Cardinal has been bestowed, and
the willy monarch is known to be extremely
DESTROYS that his relitive should be installed
in the Vatican as the present Poatiff's success
or. Italians are usually chosen for this Office,
but circumstances alter cases in electing
Popes as in all else. Napoleon has placed the
Romish church under great obligations by
constituting himself the sole barrier between
it and the Italian patriots who have combined
10 overthrow the temporal power. He has re-
peatedly driven back the Garibaldians from
the very walls OF Rome, and by occupying the
eternal city with his troops has given the
church its only security aga inst its foes for
many years. His influence will therefore be
potent in the selection OF the next ruler of the
Papal States.
1t has not been usual to elect a Pope until
the decease Of the incumbent, but now there
is felt to be necessity for reasonable action.
The Italians, though many times thwarted in
their praiseworthy attempts to incorporate the
States of the Church with the Italian King
dom, are not hopeless of final success, and
stand ready to avail themselves of any compl-
cations thai may arise in the Papal govern
ment to march once more 1er the frontier
Many adherents of thei progressive Italian
party are still affected with superstito
reverence for the person and office of the So
called Vicegerent of Heaven and have hardly
the resolution to array themselves in arms
against him. All their hesitation would in
stantly disappear in the event of an interreg-
mum, and Rome would fall in spite of the
Chassepot rifles of the French. 1t is suggest
ed, therefore, that at the Ecumenical Council
that has been summoned to meet at Rome
next December, the expediency of electing a
successor to Plus Ninth shall be considered in
his lifetime, if that aged and decrept man
shall live SO long. If Napoleon and the Holy
Father both die meantime, the next Pope will
surely be obliged to content himself with the
exercise of his spiritual powers.

MOVEMENT TO ANNEX CANADA.-The WASH
ington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press says: ff
There is on foot powerful movement in IA
vor of the annexation of Nova Scotia and of
the Canadian Provinces to the United States
A strong deputation of Nova Scotians who
were here last week, and who speak for their
people, say than an overwhelming majority of
the people boldly prefer being added to the
United States, since they were corruptly and
against their WILL and in the face of their pro-
test, sealed to the new Canadian Dominion"
They declare that connection hateful, and, as
it seems to be the policy of England not to
interpose against any free movement of the
colonies to set up for themselves, they do not
anticipate any resistance should they vote for
annexation to the United States. 1t is SAID
on good authority that Hon. II. j. Walker will
sustain this movement in a powerful argu-
ment. He is quoted as saying that Congress
should vote down the proposed reciprocity
treaty with Canada; that, free-trader as he is
he postpones his favorite theory before the me-
cessity of refusing freeI trade to THE depend
ency Of a nation that was SO steadily our enc
my during the rebellion. If Canada soants
free trade she must join the american Union.
This is a new and startling view of an old sub
| Ject, and becomes an important ingredient in
J the adjustment Of the Alabama claims.
