large assemblage of Ladies and Gentlemen. After which they repaired to a dinner prepared by Jacob

lhere were 6 or 8 toasts more Qffered, some of which were neither drank or cheered; but all of

which have been handed in for publication, but knowing that they were offered to subserve some personal pique, or malign feeling, our journal is not the source through which they can give them publicity.

A Notorious Villain. The New York papers give the particulars of a villain by the name of Sterling, who has married, and deserted or killed by his brutality, 4 or 5 women in the course of as many years past. His last wife died in that city a few weeks since, when he abandoned her infant child in the street, but was detected, and multiplied atrocities exposed. The N. Y. Times thus traces his history, as developed at the police office: It appears that Charles M. Sterling was born at Mount Desert, an Island off Hancock county, Maine, where he resided until he attained to man's estate; but it seems that the unenviable character he had acquired was the cause of his removal soon after that period. The next place to which he was tracked is Baltimore, where he appears to have been in possession of some capital, commenced business, and prosecuted it successfully. While there he married an interesting young lady, whom he soon after abused, and with whom he some years since removed to Boston, where four Years since he lived at

the head of Rowe's Wharf, wfth his wife and two fine children. His continued and still increasing abuse, however, soon drove her from him, to seek a home among his relatives at Mt. Desert carrying with her an infant. The vessel in which she embarked, however, was lost at sea, and the injured wife, with her infant, and all else on board perished in the wreck. The schooner was afterwards found at sea, and a large amount of clothing and property taken out and carried into Cape Cod. Thither Sterling, proceeded, claimed and obtained possession of nearly all the goods, and instituted suit against other persons for the residue, and hadtfiem held under recognizance to answer his complaints. He never, however appeared to prosecute the suits to trial, but returned to Boston with such

ot the property as he could get possession of. Here he, after a courtship, again married. His second wife was a Miss Elizabeth Gales,

a tailoress, a tall, darkish complexioned girl, though extremely good looking, and from

wnomtic obtained about 8300, the savintrs of

her previous industry. In a short time after!

ner marriage, she was driven from him by ill

treatment, but was afterwards persuaded to

return and accompany him to this city, " where they for some time boarded in Wash

ington street, but afterwards kept a confec

tionary in another part of the city. In the mean time his abuse of his wife had increased almost beyond female endurance, and his affairs again becoming unprosperous, they determined to give up their house and again board out. For this purpose his wife packed up her things, and all her clothing with the exception of a very ordinary suit in which he introduced her to a boarding house, where he left her, and stealthily shipped every article of furniture and clothing of his and hers, except what she had on her at the time, to Nyack, Rockland co. leaving her utterly destitute of money, clothes, or means of subsistence. From Nyack he proceeded with his spoils to Masonicus, in the same county, and took boarding with a Mr. Furman, whom he

shortly left to board with a Mr. Harper, at

Rampo. He however, soon returned to Mas

onicus, and boarded with a Mr. Krempt, at

wmcn place he reported that he had been

robbea of $ 800 while there, and then it is said, himself robbed Mr. Harper of 25, with

which he made off. His next location was in the township of Franklin, Bergen county, N.

J. where he boarded with a Mr. Christopher, who had a daughter twenty years of ace, who

fell a victim to the seductive arts of the visit

er. He also persuaded her to leave her pa

rental home, and accompany him to this city.

They boarded together in Washington street, but he soon abandoned her, and again returned to Rampo. The unfortunate girl was

again taken to the hearth of her stricken fa

ther, where she, with the misplaced attach ment and her shame continued to remain.

At Rampo, Sterling again entered the mat

rimonial state with a Miss Rose with whom he lived six or seven months, when she was taken very suddenly ill at midnight with vomiting, and died at seven o'clock in the morning. Her death is very generally attributed in the neighborhood to poison. After the death of this lady, Sterling returned to Masonicus, where he soon became very attentive to a young widow lady named Henderson, who was possessed of some property ; but she had either the good luck or the good judgment to reject his offers of marriage. Foiled in his attempt he next laid siege to the heart and hand of Mrs. Sitcholt, a wealthy Dutch widow, but from her, also, he received a repulse which he had not the sophistry to over

come. Finding he could make nothing of

eitner mother or daughter, he improved a fa

vorable opportunity, it is said in the winter of '33, and robbed the latter of the clothing of

ner deceased husband, and 10 m money, and disappeared. The next we hear of him is in this city where he, nearly a year since, married a Mrs. Hamilton, the mother of the infant whose desertion has been the means of bringing this double distilled villian to the knowledge of the world.

Deau Sir: We were visited in this city yesterday, with one of the most terrible tor

lured or destroyed. The Methodist cliurca

is entirley destroyed, the Catholic partiall' so. Houses of all descriptions were prostrated, or their materials carried about in the air. Such a scene of ruin is presented here as is seldom witnessed. Four persons have been killed, and many more injured some

of them very seriously. The loss we can jet.
