HORRIBLE MURDERS.

A most barbarous murder of d uehoie family near
Port Golden in Warren Co, n. j., was perpetra-
ted on Monday last The head of the family was
Mr.. John b. Parke, an aged single man who was
in the habit of Boosting that he had large quantities
of specie on hand. In his house lived John Cart
ner, who worked the farm, his wife, who was
Parke's sister, four children, and servant On
Tuesday morning the ncghbors thrown into
CONSERVATION by hearing that all these persons,
cept the maid servant, who not at home the
preceding night, were murdered On reaching the
spot the most dreadful spectacle presented
Cartner, who appears 10 have been decoyed out of
the house, was found partially thrown into lime
kiln, his head literally beaten to fragments
with rail, which picked up close by, with all
the horrd marks OF the use that had been made OF
it, On entering the house MIR. Parke was found in
his bed, dead, with his throat cut from 10 ear.
His sister, Mss Cartner, and The igfrnt at her side,
were in like manner murdered, and little of
or 5 years old stabbed in several places-and only
not dead There were two other children, but they
slept in distant part ofthe house-unknown prob
ably, 10 the murderers The house was riflcd COM
pletely but what amount of plumber was obtained
no could yet conjecture. The news spread
rapidly the country is raised, and handbills al
ready circulating in all directions, offering, in the
name of surviving relatives, $1,000 for the arrest
and conviction of the murderers. Plumber, un-
doubleday, was the motive, and universal opinion
ascribed the horrd deeds to strangers, who must
have come from distance. As there must have
been two or three concerned the hope seems rea-
sonable that clue will be found, and due punish
ment awarded TO this unparalleled massacre.

THE NEIeHBoRs.-By Frederick Bremen. Transla-
tod from, tho Cnonieh lv Mary Hewitt

Tux NEIeHBoRs.-Iy Frederick Bremen Transla-
ted from the Spanish, by Mary Hewitt.
Monroe & Co. have published series Of "Tales
of Every day Life" translated from the Swedish
language, of which this is one and the only one we
have II is story Of domestic and social life,
illustrative of National manners and customs, at
the same time that it. is the vehicle of the purest
morality. Miss Bremer's object appears TO I've sim
liar TO that of our own Miss Sedgwick, whose de-
lightfu little tale, "Tlome,' is now advertised as
the 18th thousand; though in the execution of her
object Miss Bremen mingles more Of the Poetic and
romantic. The interest of "'The Neighbour" turns
wholly upon domestic life and social intercourse
The characteristics of the Swedes and of their
peculiar customs, are strikingly portrayed. That
cold far off country, which confess to have felt
little interest in before, is by the reading OF this
beautiful tale, brought near to our bosoms. In 1t
we the beatings of the ''great heart ofhumani-
ty," under new and interesting costume. The
style is lively and humorous. The Swedes are
the French of the North. Gay, polite, hospitoble
and fond of amusements, of which dancing is the
chief They are much addicted to the use of to-
bacco and brandy, which appear to be their worst
habits. We anticipate much pleasure from the pc
rusal of the remaining volumes of the series, and
wish we could close our brief notice by saying for
sale at the Brattleboro Bookstore.

An EXAMPLE FOR RicH MEN-Mr. Ridgeway,

to his memory. He has bequeathed TO Messrs
