sT The new "three-cent piece" or
dered to be struck by the last Congress,
has been issued, and great numbers are
now in circulation in Philadelphia, New
York, and other of our chief cities. A
few have penetrated the interior, and we
saw one of the little jokers" the other
day. 1t is about the size of a FIVE cent
piece; though thinner. On one side it is
circled by the words United States
of America, 1851" with single star
filling the centre, and on which is the u
sual representation of the shield. On the
reverse side is the circle of thirteen stars,
with large G enclosing III. When
this new coin first appeared in New ork
the rush for them was SO great that one
broker sold over thousand at four cents
each. Great difference of opinion exists
as to the adaptation of this piece to gen.
eral use. The Philadelphia Ledger says
it promises to be general favorite;
while the n. Y. Tribune pronounces it
the meanest coin that ever bore the i'm
press of the U. S. Mint, and admirably
calculated to deceive, being very similar
in size to the ive-cent piece

Revolving and Horrible Affair.--
Murder of a Wife by Starvation.

NASHVILLE, May 10, P. M-Much
excitement has been created among a
portion of our citizens, by the arrest on
Friday evening, of man named Butler,
who is in the employment of the Gas
Company, charged with attempting to
kill his wife by starvation. Butler lives
on the corner of Spencer and Gay streets,
and it seems that the suspicious of his
neighbors were aroused by certain mys-
terious proceedings about his house.
These suspicious increased until Friday
evening, when several persons determined
to enter Buffers house, and satisfy them
selves in regard to the matter. The
house was entered by window, the doors
being all fastened, and woman was
found lying in the bed, covered with
filth, in a most emaciated condition.
She was extremely weak, and it is stated
she declared that she had not eaten any
thing for a weak or more. She spoke
but little. She died to-day at noon, and
the Coroner held an inquest over her bo-
DIV, and rendered verdict.
There are a hundred flying rumors re-
garding this; all of which present the
case in very shocking aspect. Butler
is now in Jail, in default of giving bail in
the sum of $4,000
1t is stated that several humanely dis
posed ladies had repeatedly tried to OBJ
tain admittance to the house, during his
absence, and were driven away by the
dauohtar of Mrs Rutlar who set f;arca
house dog upon them. On one occasion,
lady passed by, heard faint cry of
"water! water" On Thursday morning,
the wife of neighbor who had sought,
several times, to explore the mystery,
seeing the husband of the woman passing
by on his way to the city, asked his per-
mission to see her, and was refused
This refusal further excited suspicion.
On yesterday several young men went
TO the house and were also set upon with
the dog by the little girl, when they final
ly succeeded in forcing their way in
They found that her person bore the
marks of violence, and about her limbs
were black marks of cords, by which it
is supposed she had been bound to the
bed. She was so much reduced that the
bones in many places had worn through
the skin.
He alleges she was sick of the typhoid
fever, and was also very Incorporate in
her habits, and he kept people away to
prevent them from supplying her with
drink.-LouiSvile Courier.
