had been jealous of her and threatened to Kill
her. On the night in question he took knife
to bed with him, and soon attempted to take
her life. She got possession of the knife, and
stabbed and killed him in self defence. There

man is the only account of the tragedy.

the most faithful and superior manner. For
each of these pictures they prepared full
biographical sketch of its subject, with the

fixed an authentic History Of the Indian
Tribes Of North America, embracing
complete view Of all that is known of them
in their characteristics, condition, and prog

The numbers Of this magnificent work
having beer completed, they were collec-

forming three large volumes. which has
never been surpassed in this country. We

Mr.. E G. Mygatt, agent !or the 'Amer-

from whom our friends can obtain this
splendid work, of which Judge Meek speaks
in the following beautiful and compliment
tary manner;

b. In the museum chamber OF the Patent
office. al Washington City, there slavery
large collection OF portraits oil the principal
chiefs aut, warriors of the various aborl9in-
> al tribes Of our country, who have at differ
. an, times visited the national capitol. II
became the policy of our government at an
early periol to have these pictures execu-
ted by skillrul artists, as memorials ul the
.s;norIar ueople who once held entire do
.miniou but who have been steadily fading
away before the proaress OF our population
The Gallery now embraces several hundred
pictures, presenting individuals ilom al
most every ''nalion," IN their peculiar COS
tunes and decorations, and with their ap-
propriale implements OF war or peace. 1t
is altogether one Of the most interesting
,snectaces in Washington; and we have Of
ian passed hours in gazing OIL the marked
nhysionnomes OF thes, Red Pairiarchs of

Brandt, Pushmaleha, and Black Hawk,

deeds. and others, as Guess, (the inventor
nj the Cherokee alphabet) Red Jacket,
1.-The Seneca oratorl Turtle Field, THE ma
tive missionary aud Ross and Ridge, (wise
counsellors and diplomalists3 were equally
distinguished in the paths OF peace
The idea Of the Gallery was, we believe
originated by Col. Thomas l.. McKenny
when he was at The head Of the Indian Blu.
reau, attached TO the War Department, in
which the Gallery was first established
Long in that office, Col. McKenny, also, en-
paged himself in collecting. from the vari
1ous Indian delegations, who visited the
capitol, as full information as possible in
reference to the history of their tribes. the
biographies Of the warriors and chieltain'
themselves, and everything that conlt
throw liyht upon the institutions, manners
customs, languages and fortunes of the
aboriginal race. The opportunity was evi
IDENTITY the finest that could be desired fo
the purpose.
