Tuesday afternoon an att'ray occurred
in this city between j. w. Erwin and

the death of the former. They had
been intimate friends, and had been

garding some business transactions
arising, Erwin became very much ex-
cited, and arming himself with re-
volver sought Bailey, threatening TO
shoot him on sight. When they met,
Erwin was driving span Of horses at.
tached to lumber wagon. He stopped
his team and drew his revolver, but
before he could use it Bailey caught a
spoke from the wagon and dealt him

ester, N. Y, and for many years was

Mr.. Editor

Mr.. Editor
In your issue of 25th ult. No. "a, I read with much
pleasure a communication from one of your cores
pondents upon the subject oferecting a hotel in st. Croix
suitable for the ccommodatio of the many North
erners who seek a southern latitude during the winter
months of each year. And although | perceive that
this communication was intended for nothing more
than a suggestion, yet the practicability of the
scheme thus suggested is so palpable that it has been
a source Of some wonder to me that nothing further
upon the subject has since appeared in your columns.
But while it has not been further agitated in print,
am grati6ed to learn that the enterprise has not e-
capped the serious consideration of several of our most
prominent business men, who see its practicability,
and are heartily in favor of devising means for its

less increase yearly, once the fact Of good hotel ac-
commodations here was known, therefore in selecting
a location for this establishment, it should be done
with a view that unlimited additions might be made
10 the original Edifice, as circumstances demanded.
Now, as to a location most suitable and available on
which to establish this new concern. Your cores
nondent X argues that sit should be located in some
pleasant portion of the country adjacent to town !"
the idea certainly is not a bad one, and it is quite true
as he adds, "there are several such places" But, Mr..
Editor, have thought of a place within the precincts
of town which | believe could be purchased from the
Government, and which, with comparatively little
cost, could be transformed into a commodious and
delightful hotel building-I refer to the Barracks now
occupied by the soldiers of our garrison. | do not
speak from authority, but am of the opinion that

THE COLLECTION AT TIE UNITED STATES
MINT-ANCIENT SPECIMENS OF MONEY.
The Philadelphia Bulletin contains the
following account of the cabinet of precious
coins in the United States mint: The cabi-
net OF coins in the United States mint in
this city has recently been enriched by ad-
ditions from the East. Persons who have
visited it need not be reminded of the many
interesting pieces of money gath
cred during different intervals,
not only in our own country, but
from the British Isles, continental Europe
Asia and Africa; butthere are many, bothin-
habitants and visitors-who have passed by
the building which contains the relics of ma
tons living only in inscriptions on them and
in history. Here are rem nders of the COM
mercial wealth of Carthage, of the agricultu-
raj affiuence of Rome and { f Grecian facility
of OrganiZing ornaments. Nor IS Egypt, the
land of the kings, forgotten; Persia is not
passed by; and even the widow with her mite
is recalled and her story rehearsed. Among
all the specimens, however, none are so pro-
minent as those to which present notice is
given. A piece of money about two-thirds the
size of one of our old cents, with an image
of Diana on one side and Greek inscription
on the other, is said to have been struck at
Philadelphia--that is, the far eastern city
about two Thousand years ago, or two hum
dred years before Christ. 1t is now in good
state of preservation. There is also shell
representing the means of trade in Africa,
1t is OF pure gold, quite small, and rests
upon an ordinary sea shell; and forty OF
these, it is said, will, in the land OF
dark cGmplexIOns, buy slave. The
language setting forth this important
use is "spondylus mousta." China is
