Tliri lliiis" 2 ii pi tlont Religion, At tempted Jlurder and Attempted Suicide We have just heard of a most awful and de plorable scene, which has been enacting in Newton, N. J., three miles from Camden. About three months ago, the wife of a German laboring farmer, becoming religiously inclined, attended the Baptist Church in Haddonfield very regularly, until she became fully converted to that fanh, and was baptised without the knowl edge of her husband. As soon as the fact was known to him, he threatened to shoot the min ister and some leading members of the Church, as well as his wife. To accomplish this, ho charged his gun, shouldered it and walked to the minister's house, but not finding him at home, lie returned to his own house, and threatened 10 shoot his wife, who very fortunately escaped, and swore her life against him. He was ar rested and placed in Woodbury jail, where he remained till last week, when he scaled the wall and went back to hi; own house, in the dead of mgh:. His wife feeling alarmed lest he would lull her, fled in her night clothes to a neighbor's house, about a quarter of a miltj distant. A few nights afterwards, the police being apprised of his whereabouts, went to arrest him; as they were passing up the stairs to the room where it was thought he was sleeping, they beheld him landing at the head of the staircase, with a large axe raised, with which he threatened to kill the first that came within his reach, and, Mining the action to the word, he made a blow with great force, which barely escaped murder ing one of the officers, as the axe struck his hat, and the blade passing through it, was buried in the wood work on the side of the door. At ::ns one officer asked for "the pistols to shoot uun, wincii caused mm to reircai oacn, ana al most instantly was heard a heavy fall upon the tloor. They entered the room, and found him lying on the floor, weltering in blood, he having cut his throat with a razor. As they approach ed to raise him up, he placed both his hands in ihr gash of his throat, and dragged at it, as if determined to tear himself to pieces. He was overpowered, lied down, a physician sent for, ihe wound dressed, and he allowed to remain at hi house under guard, until he should have sn far recovered as to allow of his being retaken to prison. He grew belter in strength, although the wound still remained open, until Sunday night last, when he managed to elude the vigi lance of the guard and decamped. Up to yes terday nothing had been heard of him, and his friends, as well as the law officers, manifest much alarm at his absence. One thing is cer tain, he cannot long survive, as he is unable to eat or swallow any thing. Such a fiend de serves to die the death he is likely to suffer starvation and want of attention in some deso hte wood, afar from friends and home. Daily Chronicle. Review of the Markets.

LADIES' COMPANION! A STANDARD NATIONAL MAGAZINE. Published Monthly in the City of New-York, by lYMAIAjBr W. SMOWIMEW TWO ENGRAVINGS IN EVERT NUMBER. The Ladies' Companion, is published monthly, in the city of New York, and thus establisbed in popular favor, after a progress of many years is sued with unfailing promptness and regularity adorned with a beauty of typograpical execution which proudly challenges criticism, and with en gravings, prepared, in every instance, expressly lor the work, after a careful selection of the sub ject enriched constantly with fashionable and popular music superintended, in all its depart ment; with the most scrupulous care for its excel lence in every particular and filled with articles from the pens of the most popular, renowned and talented writers of which our own country or Eng land can boast, it is by no means an unwarranta ble presumption thus to claim for the Ladies' Com panion, the proud elevation of being a Standard National Magazine! Looking with a jealous eye to the honor of Amer ican Liteiature; as well as to emolument, it is the endeavor of the proprietor of the "Companion," to be governed by principles of the broadest liberali ty; and to offer no pledge to the public which cannot be faithfully and fully redeemed. That very prom-, ise made in times past, has been scrupulously ful filled, is confidently asserted, and for a full confir mation of this, every reader is appealed to; and this exactness, it is supposed, will be a sufficient guaranty for the future. Alter this explanation, the proprietor of the La dies' Companion proudly directs attention to the following J?r2i2ieu! Contributors. Emma C. Embury, author of "Pictures of Earlv Life," the "Blind Girl," etc.; Lydia H. Sigourney; Frances S. Osgood; Mrs. Seba Smith; Mrs. E. F. Ellet, author of "Character of Schiller," etc.; Ann S. Stephens; Hannah F Gould; Mrs. E R Steele: Mrs. A M F Annan, late Miss Buchanan; Miss A D. Woodbridge; Mrs. Emeline S. Smith; F W Thomas, author of "Clinton Bradshaw," etc.; Car oline Orne. of Wolfsboro', N H.; Miss Mary Ann Browne. England; Miss C F Orne, of Cambridge; ! Mass.; Mrs. M St Leon Loud; Professor J II In- graham; Louis ritzgerald Tasistro; Nathiel P. Willis; Theodore S. Fay; Park Benjamin; to gether with a large number of prominent writers, whose names we have not room here to insert. Among the number of the contributors to the "Companion," above enumerated, will be perceiv ed the names of many, whose charming produc tions have given lustre to our national literature, 'and whose reputation is identified with the pro , . 2" 1 I - I ' T w " 7 P f ,f , world of letters, to which they have been signally jnstrIunpntal jn ndvnnmi.cr it. n.l amnmr thorn t - a "-.v. ""'-"t, there will be fonnd the names of ladies who have established the claim of woman to the possession of the loftiest intellect, in its more refined and del- i icale characteristics, and have reared an enduring monument to the virtues and elevation of their sex. The talents of the contributors, it will be perceiv ed, are of the most varied character. By tl is it is rendered certain that every taste will be gratified that every branch of elegant literature will re ceive attention. Poetry, tales, sketches, essays the instructive and the amusing the grave and the gay will be blended, to enhance the interest of the Magazine. The UiisbeiSflsikmessts. Even in this important respect, the "Compan ion" may be safely pronounced to maintain a de cided superiority over every competitor; and in re gard to its gorgeous engravings, the work is dis tinguished above every literary periodical, wheth er in England or America. Every number is or namented with steel plates, executed by the first artists, in the most finished manner, expressly for the work! Scriptural engravings are, also, occa sionally published. The reader therefore, for the low price at which the "Companion" is afforded, in addition to its admirable literary articles, obtains a port folio of elegant steel engravings. THE MONTHLY FASHIONS are also given, illustrative of the changes of attire, in female costume and ornaments. These plates are not executed on wood, but so elaborately en graved on steel, as to be of themselves worthy of preservation as beautiful pictures; for it is the de termination of the proprietor of the Ladies' Com panion, to offer nothing to its readers that is not worthy of unqualified admiration. The fiSHsicaJ 2eparS:nesaS ; receives the utmost attention. Apiece of music is given in every number, and an experienced and competent musical professor having the immediate supervision, the selections may be relied upon as being from the most pleasing and popular songs. Criticism upon the publications which may from time to time be issued, is a matter involving seri ous responsiblencss; especially when the decision of the critic is expected to influence a large por tion of the community; and while the receipt of the books issued by the most prominent publishing-houses in the country, enables the proprietor of the Ladies' Companion to announce the reviews of new works to form one of the features in the conduct of the Magazine; the reader who consults them for guidance in the selection of books for pe rusal, mav place upon them implicit reliance. Tho basis of criticism is an impartial and independent ! judgment. Editors' Table Under this head the more important events which may transpire, worthy of comment, will be found, embracing every subject, either local or for eign, that is considered of sufficient interest to de maud attention In conclusion, the proprietor pledges himself that every effort will be expended to make the La- ; dies' Companion pre-eminent lor the beauty and accuracy of its typography the variety and high tono of its literary articles the quality and value of its music and the splendor of its pictorial em bellishments. TERMS AND CONDITIONS. The Ladies' Companion is published at THREE DOLLARS a year, payable in advance", or four dollars during tho y6ar. Two copies for Jive dol lars if current funds, in advancepost paid. The work is punctually issued on the first of every month, and is forwarded to subscribers by the ear liest mails, strongly enveloped. New volumes commence with tho May and November numbers.

Having been called upon repeatedly for infor mation respecting redemption monies on unseated . lands, which remain in the hands of ISx-Treasur-ures, I take the liberty in justification to myself, as well as for the good of Monroe county, to state that from all that I was able to ascertain at ihn annual settlement in January last, upwards of $1,000 00 was remaining in the bands of Ex Treasurers. I requested Mi. Bush, late Treasur er to render an account of redemption monies re ceived by him during his term of Office, but he refused to do so; neither could I prevail upon my colleagues, Messrs. Mackey & Staples, to go in to a settlement with the Ex-Treasurer concerning the monies feceived by him. on unseated lands. I now earnestly request Messrs. Storm & Bush, to examine page 201 of Purdons Digest, 0th edi tion, by George Stroud, wln-re they will find the act of assembly recorded, which expressly says, that it shall be the duty of ExTrersurers to j,ay over all redemption monies' on unseated lands to their successors in office, and alter convincing themselves cf the duty they have overlooked, or neglected, to pay over the same at once to the present Treasurer with interest thereon. Such a course will save the Auditors much trouble at the next annual settlement, besides showing a willingness to obey the mandates of Justice. With sentiments of respect, 1 remain Your obedient servant. JNO. MERWTNE. one of the Auditors. Chesnut Hill, Monroe county May 25, 1812. J BE.
