This letter was mailed at Station G, No. ,G6l
Broadway. at $3.50 yesterday afternoon. Tho hand
writing was the same as that of the previous let
tcrs that were sent to DR.. Dix and IN, friends.
The envelope also bore the unusual address Of
"New-York City, Ncw-York.' which was a charac-
teristic Of the former communications.
A Tribune reporter called on Dr. Dix in the
evening. lie received word that there was nothing
new IN connection with the annoyances to which
Dr. Dix had been subjected and that II was desired
that no further reference be made 10 them. But If
DIR. Dix was dcsirous of forgetting the mat
ter. the High Churchman' seemed unwlll-
ing that he should, and the letter that
had been received was shown TO the prosecuted
clergyman. He expressed his thanks for the warn
ing and said that the letter was wholly a surprise
to him, ~ nothing had been heard from his strange
correspondent since the recent publication, which
seemed until now 10 have PUT an end 10 this singu-
lar method of revenge. or spite. or pure mischief

was similarly annoyed by letters that brought num-
bers of persons his with goods for delivery,
and false information that led people TO expect hun
to devote the proceeds of days business TO the
Irish Relief Fund and that sent the police of Pater

The perpetra!or of the outrages Mr. Buckley
was identified as being the same that had annoyed
Dr. DIX by the Use Of the name "Gcntlcman Joe,'
under which he instructed Or. Dix 10 communicate
with HIM through personal IN The Hcrdid II his
bogus offer TO cease Tor 81 600 was accepted. and
under which name several persons were told TO in

not only by the fact that DR.. DIX can
recall 40 one who could have a spite
against him, but also by hs impartial Sc

to have investigated the subject OF DIR.

he had given the matter some attention.
but that there was nothing that he could
make public. He seemed surprised 10 learn from
the communication TO The TRIBUNE that operations
had been again begun, but appeared to Oc rather
pleased that tho rascal was taking more rope, as u
offered the surcs hope of mis- eventually coming to
grief.

What new device his enemy has conceived may ap-
pear this morning: but persons who think they
have been invited by Dr. Dix to exhibit their wares
to-day will do well to make sure that they arc
wanted before they provide themselves with cum
bersome samples.
