First Railroad Train in America.

We were shown, recently, at the depot
of the Lebanon Valley railroad, by one of
courteous officials, a copy of photograph
in the possession of prominent officer of
the above road, representing the frst rail-
road train run in the United States. The
picture represents locomotive, tender,
and two passenger coaches. The photo
graph has the following description printed
upon it, underneath the train:
"The First Steam Train in America.
Mohawk and Hudson River II. r.
Photographed from the original picture
in the hands of the Connecticut His
torical Society, Hartford, Conn.,"
"The engine was the John BuH import
ed from England, 1881. The cylinders
were 81 inches in diameter and stroke 10
inches wheels Al feet In diameter the
boiler had 80 copper tubes, each feet long
and / inch in diameter; connecting rods
worked on double cranks on front axle
weight Of engine 4 tons; John Hampson,
an Englishman, engineer"
The train represents an excursion train
on its first trip from Albany to Schenee-
tedy, New York, composed of fourteen
pabbeDRcrb anu Ono enBhiooIi hlOecn per
sons in all. The list of passengers was as
follows:
Louis Benedict; James Alexander, presi-
dent of the Commercial bank OF Hartford
Mr.. Dudeley, Of DUDLEY Observatory
Jacob Hays, high constable; Mr.. Meggs,
sheriff Billy Winnes, penny postman
Thurlow Weed, and Ex-Governor Yates,
and seven others, whose names were not
given.
The boiler (of course unique and out OF
place when compared with the splendid
thirty ton " Baldwins' of the present day
looks Like the smoke-stack Of hard coal
burner, placed on wheels, with an odly
shaped dome or drum rising up from the
centre. The smoke-stack rises up from
the extreme front end, and resembles a
stove pipe resting on the cross head. There
is nothing visible in the shape Of pilot
or cow.catcher. The driver, who acted
both as engineer and stoker, stood on a
very narrow platform, in the open air.

A Tennessee Horror.

In the county of Hancock, Tenn, there
lived a family consisting Of a father, moth
er two sons, daughter, and son-in.law.
Some time ago the father, Dan Sutton,
separated from his family, and with his
son John took up his abode with woman
living in or near the Hawkins county line.
From this place frequent forays were made
by the father upon the old homestead and
from time to time much property was con-
veyed to the womans house. They sub
mitted patiently to these depredations un-
til the father took away the last horse on
the place.
The son, William Sutton, who had re-
mained with his mother, procured a re-
plevin writ, and with his brother-in- law,
Barnett, went to the woman's house, and
took possession of it. They were on the
point of leaving, when the father, Dan SUIT
ton, came out of the house, and with rifle
fired at William Sutton. The old man
seized an axe and split open the skull of
his son-in-law, who sank down in pool of
blood and expired in few moments. The
father next advanced upon William Sut-
ton with axe uplifted. William drew his
pistol and fired, killing the old man in
stantly.
In the meantime John Sutton, seizing
Barnett's pistol, closed in with his brother.
Thus they fought muzzle to muzzle, till
every shot was expended. After knocking
each other with the butt ends of their pis-
tolls, they threw them aside and drew their
bowie knives. In short time John lost
one Of his hands, and another stroke from
William cut off his chin, and thus the
bloody affray eplkd. John is thought to
be dying. William was hurt in several
places, but has managed to escape.

How to Avoid COntaglOn in Small POx

How TO Avoid COntaglOn in Small POx.
1. On the first appearance of the disease
the patient should be placed in separate
apartment as near the top of the house
as possible, from which curtains, carpets,
bed-hangings, and other articles Of furn-
iture, should be removed, and no person
except the medical attendant and the nurse
or mother be permitted to enter the room.
2. A basin containing solution of chic
ride of lime or carbolic acid, should be
placed near the bed for the patient to spit
in. -
3. Handkerchiefs not to- 9be used, but
pieces of rags employed in stead, for wip-
ing the nose Of the patient. Each piece,
after being used, should be Immediately
burned.
4. A plentiful supply of water and towels
should be kept for the use of the nurse,
whose hands, if necessary, will be soiled by
the secretions of the patient. In one hand
basin the water should be impregnated
with Condy's fluid of chloride, by which
the taint on the hands may at once be re-
moved.
8. Outside the door of the sick room a
sheet should be suspended, so as to cover
the entire doorway; this should be kept
constantly wet with solution of lime.
The effect of this will be to keep every
other part of the house free from infection.
g. The discharge of the bowels and kid
neys of the patient should be received into
vessels charged with disinfectants, such as
the solution of carbolic acid or chloride ol
lime, and Immediately removed. BY these
means poison thrown off from internal
surfaces may be rendered inert, and de.
prived of the power Of propagating disease
Z. The thin skin or cuticle which peelt
off from the hands, face, and other parts OF
body in copvalescent patients, is highly
contagious. Baths should be continued
every day for some time, when the disin
fection of the skin may be regarded as
complete. This, however, should not bC
done without first consulting the medical
attendant
