A Terrible Crime.
A NIGHT'S LODGINGS IN THE MOUNTAIN SET-
TLEMENTS OF TENNESSEE—FEARFUL BLUN-
DER OFA MURDERER. "
Correspondence of the N. YFratin.
Maryville, East Tennessee, .444")r'il 12.—
A terrible tragedy was enactedPi Thursday
of last week, in one of the recipe'. districts
. of Sevier county. A Ot5i• widow :wo-
man offhe name of Stratton had been in
Knoxville to receive pension money to the
amount of $85. On her return she..sought
and obtained lodging, on that Thursday
evening, at the house of one Joe Burkhard,
in the border of ene of he mbuntain settle-
ments, . • -
Being much worn with the long journey
performed on foot, the woman retired at
an early hgur, occupying a bed with Burk -
hart's wife.—The man himself went out im-
mediately after supper, and did not return
till the hour at which the women were go-
ing te bed. He sat beside the fire a short
time, then tinkered about the room a few
minutes, and finally departed the: second
time. ,
Some time in the night Mrs. Stratton'
'awoke from an unpleassnt dream. She was
greatly disturbed in mind, and evidently
apprehensive of danger. She tried to calm
her agitated thoughts itild sleep again, but
found it impossible. The oppressive sense
.of peril became intensified. The ro m was
silent and utterly dark, yet he voman
thought she heard souuds without t let bo-
ded no good. The money in her possession
_
Was no comforter then.
Finally, unable to endure this state of
suspense longer, she waked Mrs. Burkhard,
and begged to be permitted to occupy the
back side of the bed, saying that she was
afraid te lie in front. Mrs, B., evidently
considering this a freak of timidy, at once
changed places with the woman, aq in a
short time was asleep again. •
Not so the other, however. Weary as
she was, she could not sleep nor drive fear
from her mind. An hour passed in usual
silence. Filially a movement • was heard
without. The muffled tread of feet sound-
ed before the house. The door was softly
pushed open, and two human figures steal -
i thily entered the apartment. Noisllessly
1

they crossed the: puncheon floor a1d ap-
proached the bedside where the tw wo-
men were lying. - Mute and breathless with
terror, Mrs. S., saw one of the ruffians lay
his hand on the face of her unconeious com-
panion, while the other drew a longj knife
.across her throat. She distinctly heard the
low hissing sound made by the keen blade
as it cut its way through the yielding flesh,
then the dull grating as it crossed the bone.
and felt the warm blood of the victim
as it spurted across the bed and fell upon
her face. '
Overcome with the horror of this bloody
1,
scene, enacted by her very .
side, the
midst of silence and darkness, the fe r of a
similar fate paralized the poor wornai, and
she thought she was dying. Daring notto
move or make a sound, yet scarcely able to
control herself, she lay with. closed ey4s and
wildly beating heart, helplessly awaiti g the
termination of the fearful drama.
The murderers laid hold of the lifeless
body of Mrs. B., believing it, of con c to
be that of the stranger, and dragged 't on
eto the floor, and thence out into the yard,
'
no doubt to search for the money, vhich
..Burkhard knew Mrs. S., carried in h r bo -
80111.
The latter, the moment she saw them
disappear through the open door, sprang
from the bed, in the hope 5fmaking 1er es-
cape. She well knew that as soon es the
assassins discovered the mistake they had
made, they wiiuld destroy her without
mercy. The miserable cabin possesseld one
wretched excuse for a fire -place. It was
built of split timber, lined with mud and
outside extended up perhaps a foot bove
• the level of the mantle log.
Through this broad opening Mrs. S, saw
the light shining from without, and then
she sought an exit. Plunging through the
hot ashes and buried coals, with feet un-
clothed, she clambered. over the lo w Wall of
the fire -place, and fled toward the n arest
house, fe halt -mile distant.
Theialarmwas given, and in a re ark -
ably short space of time, a small co pany
of citizens aaseenbled, and proceeded t the
scene of the murder. They happily reached
the place in time to surprise and capture
Burk -hard, who was engaged in packing up
a few articles of clothing, preparatory to
to_flight, his daughter, a girl of 17 or 18
years, was assisting him in this operation.
The hardened wretch manifested very
-
little, if any, concern, for what had tran-
spired, and seemed only to regret the fag-
ure of his original design. His accon4plice
had escaped, but every , effort is being nade
to secure his arrest. The -unhappy vctim
of this roolting clime was found parially
secreted beside the corn -crib, some dis ance

Thomsons's Road Steamer.
The Illustrated London, News gives an
engraving of one of Mr. Thonason's steam
engines drawing a train of loaded coal
Waggons, accompanyin& the illustration
is the following description:
"The use of steam power to draw heavy
loads upon the ordinary roads, or- upon
rough pound with no properly made road et
all, has long been thought one of the Most
important of meehanical problems, whether
for purposes of ccmamercial traffic, or of 'phi-
litary movement. The great difficulty has
been, on the one hand, to prevent the en-
gine to be shaken and damaged by 'the
road, with its natural inequalities of sur-
face,tits hard stones and its soft mud; on
the other hand, to prevent the road being

d5Atroyed by the weiglit of :the engine. The
teivention of Mr. R. W. Thomson, civil en-
gineer of Moray Place, Edinburgh, who
provides the engine wheels with india-rub-
ber tires of great thickness' protected by
flexible shields of open steelbars, is con-
sidered likely to get rid of this difficulty.
'The soft and elastic material of the tires,
which have been compued to the feet of an
elephant, .saves the machinery from concus-
sion, and allows the engine. to roll smoothly
over any sort of ground ail if upon a tram -
'
'way of india-rubber, climbing the steepest
ascents that are practicable for any wheel-
ed carriage. The engines are constantly
employed between the docks and railways
at Leith • and have often run through the
streets olEdinburg with omnibusses, at a
apeed of eight miles an hour; which they
have done likewise in the streets of: Paris,
One of there, from May to December last
year, made seven hundred journeys between
Aberdeen and Kettock's flour mills. three
miles distant, over a narrow, hilly, and
winding road, with loads Of ten tons, being
an engine of six horse power. The india-
rubher tires are so little worn that it is ex-
pected they will suffice for the running of
many thousand .miles. An engine of ten
horsepower, and in a colliery near. Edin-
burgh, draws loads of thirty-two tons, turn-
ing the sharpest corners with its train of
waggons behind. Other engines have been
tried in grass fields, over wet or dry sand
on the Portobello shore or over ice or froz-
en snow, in which case the shields of steel
were removed. The report of Major Skin-
ner, chief commissioner of roads in Ceylon,
to the directors of two great coffee growing
companies which have plantations in that
island, bears the strongest testimony to the
-merits of this invention. Similar engines
have been ordered for Queensland, for the
Labun coal mines, and for colonial under-
takings.
lin.eodote or Everett.
Mrs. L. Maria Child tells the following
anecdote of Edward Everett., in the Anti -
Slavery Standard:
"When Mr. Everett was preparing a lec-
ture, or address, he is said to litive been in
the habit of arrangingeverything very care-
fully beforehand. When about:to deliver a
speech at Lexington, in commemoration of
the battle on the 19th of April, 1775 he in-
quired whether any who had fought on that
occasion were still living. Being informed
that one old man survived, he called upon
him, and after some conversation concern-
ine the events of the Revolution, he said:
"In my address, I shall make an allusion to
those who fought at the battle of Lexing-
ton. I want you to sit in front of me, and
when I begin to allude to those heroes, I
want you to stand up."
"The old soldier obe Jed his instructions;
but as soon as he rose from his seat, Mr.
Everett extended his arm, as the statute
now does, and exclaimed, " Sit down, ven-
erable sir! Sit down ! It is for us to stand
in yclit presence."
"The aged man obeyed the direction,
but in the simplicity of his heart he was
quite befrildered by such contradictory
orders. He had no idea how effects
were produced in oratory, and he after-
wards said to a friend, "1 den't know
what Mr. Everett meant. First, he told
me to get up, and when I got up he told me
to sit down'."
Expansion of the Lungs.
To prevent consumption has been the
'audible endeavor of many scientific physi-
cians, as well as many quacks. That more
can be done to ward off this fell destroyer
• is beyond a doubt, than can be effected to
cure the malady when fixed.
Our object in referrieg to this disease now
is, not to repeat or lay before our readers all
the hygienic means that may be useful in
preserving the lungs in a healthy state. It
is simply expanding them. Consumptives
are usually narrow -chested. Asthmatics
are sually brad-chested,and become so very
much from the difficulty they have in breath-
ing when attacked with asthma. Hence,
asthmatic persons are seldom the victims of
consu mption
Many inventions have been sought out
for expanding the lungs; but the following
simple means will accomplish the work as
well as it can be possibly done. Go into
the air, stand erect, throw back the head
and shoulders,land draw the.air through the
nostrils, into the lungs as much as possible.
After thus filling the lungs, raise your arms:
still extended, and suck in the air. When
We have thus forced the arms backwards,
with the chest open, change the process by
which you draw in your breath; till the
lungs are emptied. Go througlethis process
several times a day, and it will enlarge the
chest, give the lungs better play, and serve
very much to ward off consumption.
If the lungs are tender, or the blood Yes -
eels, weak, due care must be used, at first,
not to overstrain them.

in India has taken place in the vicinity of
Madras. It is an experiment, but the "re-
sults as given in the official report are most
hopeful, both as regards the drainage of In-

from the operation.
