DISTRESSING DEATH.

A Tragedy In Charleston, Tenn-Fear.
fun Result Of AN Accidental Shot.
From the Knoxville Press and Herald, Feb. o
The citizens of Charleston, situated on
the west bank of the Hiwassee river, at
which point the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railroad crosses that stream,
were shocked and many of them plunged
into grief and mourning, on Monday last,
by the sudden death of Mr.. James Steph-
enson, an estimable young gentleman of
that place, aged about p years. The par
ticQlars Of his tragic end, as given by a
friend, are as follows:
On Monday, Mr.. John T. Hart was to
start for Texas, which State he intended
making his future home, and called on
young Stephenson for a parting interview,
and during the conversation drew from his
pocket a pistol to show his young friend
that he was prepared for any danger that
might beses him from evil disposed persons
on his journey. The weapon fred imma-
diately after being drawn, discharging its
contents into the heart of the unfortunate
young man. The accident, for such it was,
was the result of the careless manner in
which the pistol was handled. Mr.. Hart 'is
dreadfully affected and deeply deplores the
loss of his friend. Of course his intended
removal is, for the time being, postponed.
Both.of them were held in high esteem by
their many friends, and the dead is mourned
for while the living has the sympathy of the
community.

When the seWing-machine was invented,
it was hailed as precious boon by all classes
of the community. 1t brought relief to the
industrious matron whose principal occupa-
ton had previously been stitching and
mending. 1t laied the pale and emaciated
spirit, so wildly depicted in Hoods "Song
Of a Shirt" 1t mitigated much suffering,
while it multiplied the producing power Of
a most important industry. 1t con-
ferred something more than bles-
sings, showever. A race of sewing
girls spraug into existence, who earned
livelihood in working with the new ma
chine. While their labor was light compared
with that of their predecessors, the seam
stress girls, the incessant action of the low
er limbs in working the treadle of the sew
ing machine, from morning till night, gave
rise to new and most distressing female
complaints. Muscular strength and sound
constitutions were no protection against
them. The sewing machine lacked one
thing of being perfect; that want has at
length been supplied in a
new invention by which the
motive power to drive the machine is sup
piled by springs. Ten minutes spent in
winding up these springs is sufficient to
keep a sewing machine in rapid operation
for several hours. The continuance is
simple, and occupies very little space. 1t
can be attached to any kind Of sewing
machine, and power sufficient to pierce
thick leather, or to sew the lightest cambria,
can be applied at pleasure. The speed can
be regulated at the will of the operator. A
solitary stitch can be made with as much
facility as long seam, and when the mo-
ton ceases, the needle invariably rises from
the cloth, so that the thread can be cut if
necessary.
The new invention was exhibited by W.
Cayce at the Commercial Hotel yesterday,
and inspected by crowds of ladies and gen
tlemen during the day. The springs are
wound up by lever, crooked at the lower
end to increase its power. The operation
is as simple as working pump handle, and
is nearly as easily learned. Each
spring is wound up separately,
but the power Of all the springs
can be applies to the machine at the same
time, or one after another at pleasure. The
springs aud the other works are strong, and
not likely to get out of order. As there is
nothing complicated about them, they will
out-wear any ordinary sewing machine.
The invention is most valuable one, and
will undoubtedly come into universal use
when its merits are known.

A Slight difference.

The Comptroller yesterday received from
John Kirby, tax collector during the year
1869 of McNairy county, releases and COM
missions amounting to over $1,000, while
the statement of the County Court Clerk
showed the State tax to be only S1O,634.18.
From these figures it viii be seen that the
collectors releases, commissions, ETC.,
amount to 80 per cent of the entire State
tax. How this is, we are unable to tell
leaving the question to ADLER mathemati-
clans. The releases were not received by
the Comptroller, but returned to the Coun-
tv Court Clerk of McNairy county, and the
subject referred to John w. Taylor, Attor-
nev. General for the Eleventh Judicial Dis
trict. with a request that it be investigated
at the earliest opportunity.

the schools of Davidson county, and the

the bright and cheerful faces Of the children

B A SINGULAR surgical operation was re-
Gently performed by a San Francisco phys
lclan. The patient had been shot. The
bullet entered the right side, little above
the hip, and in probing the wound the sur
geon discovered where the bulIles lay. He
was compelled to enlarge the orifce Of the
wound in order to introduce the forceps,
and had just got that instrument on the bull
let, when the wounded man, who was un-
der the infence Of liquor, struck him q
powerful blow on the side Of the head,
which caused him to fall to the floor. He
then ran away, and when the doctor recov-
cred himself he found the fOrceps in ons
corner of the room and near the instru-
ment lay the bullet, which had been ex-
tracted by the force of the blow. The doc
tor says that, as a surgical operation, It was
a complete success, but still he IS not
partial to the method

Severe Accident.

We regret to learn that one of our

night before last. He had driven a new
horse TO town, and upon arriving at his yard
gate about four miles from the city, on the
Charlotte pike, got out of the buggy, and
while opening the gate the horse took fright,
running over Mr.. Sperry, who was caught
under the buggy and had his left leg broken
in three places between the ankle and knee.
Being unable to rise, the horse made cir
Gle, breaking the buggy to pieces, and came
very near running e second time over Mir.
Sperry, who was unable to- move. DR..
Madden went to see Mr.. Sperry, who suf-
fered very much from his injuries.
