Awful Tragedy in DrAcut-A Father
Mnrderod by His Children!

Awful Tragedy in Dracut-A Father
Murdered by His Children!
The Lowell AdUsrtiser of Monday evening gives
us some particulars Of a dreadful tragedy in the
town Of Dracut. young man named Frank
Heath, and his sister, Miriam York Heath, liv-
ing in the father part of Dracut, known Black
North, about seven miles from Lowell were ar
rested Monday afternoon by Messrs. Butterfeld
and Shed, Deputy Sherifs, for the murder of
Joshua Heath, their father last Saturday night
1t seems that Mr.. Heath, the old gentleman,
was blacksmith, somewhere between 60 and 20
years Of age, and was of incorporate habits. He
and his children, who lived together, were often
quarrelling; they complained especially the
daughter of his striking beating them, Ac
cording to the daughters confession, she had en-
deavored to poison him. by giving him tea made
of Apple Peru, which he drank, as she thinks,
in sufficient quantities to cause death, il he had
been let alone. But the son, on Saturday night,
shot him through the head whilst he was sitting
in his chamber, and towards morning buried him
in the shop, by digging hole in the ground suf-
fciently deep to receive his naked body, and COW
sring him over with earth. AS both say, the
work of burying was done Sunday.
In the morning, when inquiries made for
the old gentleman, they finally confessed that
the, had murdered him. They seem to have but
a very faint conception of the enormity of the
offence Of which they have been guilty, and as
yet have spent but little time in grieving over
their detection, or in lamentng the awful conse-
quences.
The body. together with the prisoners, we're
brought to Lowell, the former being left with the
undertaken, Amos Hull, on Prescott street, and
the latter conveyed to Jail. A coroner's inquest
ihas been summoned.

KILLED ON THE RAILRoAD.-On Tuesday af-
tsrnoon, unknown man was struck by the To-
connective of the half past one o'clock train for
this city, upon the Boston and Worcester Rail-
road, near the Ashland depot and instantly kill
ed. As the train came around the curve, short
distance below Ashland, the engineer discovered
the man walking between the tracks, apparent
ly fastening to the depot The bell was rung
and the whistle blown, to warn him of the ap.
proach of the tain, and put him on his guard
but he did not look around and presently,
when the cars were but few rods off, he stepped
over. in an unconcerned manner, and commenced
walking directly upon the track in front of the
engine Every effort was then made to stop the
train. and the usual warnings were given, but
without avail. The engine struck the man with
great violence, and threw him from the track.
The train was stopped as soon as possible by
Conductor Heald, and backed down TO the place
OF the catastrophe, but, before reaching the
spot, the vital spark had fed. The body was
taken to the Ashland depot, and left, by Conduc-
tor Head. in charge of Deputy Sheriff Willard,
who happened to be upon the spot, with instruc-
tons to bestow every attention that the circum-
stances required, and report the same to the
President Of the corporation, at Boston, as soon
as possible, and the train proceeded on its way.
We learn, from persons who arrived BY the last
train, that the body had not then been identi.
fed 1t was well clad, and apparently that of an
American, thirty-fve or forty years of age. An
inquest will be held at Ashland, this morning.

Kiss or Fight.

An exchange tells story of a country party
thus:-A stalwart young rustic who was known
as formidable operator in a ssfree fight had
just married blooming and beautiful country
girl, only sixteen years of age, and the twain
were at party where number of young folks
Of both sexes were enjoying themselves in the
good % old fashioned pawn playing style.
Every girl in the room was called out and
kissed except Mrs., the beautiful bride a.
foresad, and although there was not young
ster present who was not dying to taste her
lips, they were restrained by the presence of
her herculean husband, who stood regarding
the party with sullen look of dissatisfaction.
They mistook the cause of his anger, how
ever, for suddenly rolling up his sleeves he
stepped into the middle of the room, and in
a tone of voice that at once secured mark ed
attention, said:
ssGentlemen have been noticing how things
have been working here for some time-and
amt half satisfied. l don't want to raise a
muss but
sWhat's the matter John 2'' inquired half a
dozen voices. ssWhat do you mean? Have
We done anything to hurt your feelings2'
eyes, you have; all of you have hurt my
feelings-and I've just this to say about it
Here's every gal in the room been kissed nigh
a dozen times apiece, and there's my wife,
who 1 consider as likely as any of 'em has not
had a single one to-night; and 1 just tell you
now, if she don't get as many kisses the bal
ance of the time as any gal in the room, the
man that sights her has got to fight me-that's s
all. Now 60 ahead with your plays!''
If Mrs. B. was sighted during the rest of
the evening we did not know it. As for our
selves, we know that John had no fault to find
with us individually, for any neglect on our
part.
