A tragedy occurred near Franklin, Tenn., week before last, which, for fiendish brutality, throws the recitals in Uncle Tom's Cabin altogether into the shade. A woman named Ellen Borden, having had her jealosy aroused by some unexplained conduct of her husband, seized one of her negro slaves, and after tying her up and whipping her until weary of her work, poured boiling water over her abdomen and legs until the skin was all scalded off, and the fatty tissue cooked, leaving the muscles bare. The poor victim was then locked up in a smoke-house, where she remained over night, and the next day was strung by a rope attached to one of the smoke-house joists. When her dead body was taken down, it was found that in addition to the other cruelties inflicted upon her, her skull had been fractured by a blow on the temple with some sharp pointed instrument, which penetrated to the brain and that two other gashes had been made with the same instrument, on the back part of the head. The woman Borden made no attempt to escape, and manifested the utmost indifference as to the affair.
