HIGH RENTs.-Some twenty-five or thirty
new stores are in process of erection, at this
time, in Worcester, most Of which will be
completed the present season; but, in conse-
quence of the exorbitant and unreasonable
rents that are charged, some of them will I'M
doubleday remain unoccupied until their own
ers have learned that the interests of members
of community are mutual, and that land
lords cannot, with profit to themselves, and
with benefit to the community, aspire to all
the profits of trade. We learn that sixteen
hundred dollars rent has been offered and re-
fused for single store on Main street, and
5000 is the price charged for others, of very
moderate dimensions, in which the tenants
are required to provide their own fixtures =
At these prices for rent, few traders can make
a living profit, and the inevitable consequent
ces will be, to drive some of our most valua-
bic and cnterprising citizens to other locations,
where rents are more reasonable, and land
lords less grasping.

and as it descended from near the zenith to
the horizon, it described a zig-zag course,
leaving bright train of fire in its track,
which was visible for five or six minutes.

THURSDAY, GUST

SICKNESS IN WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS,
The Greenfield Republic states that an unusual
degree of sickness prevails in Ashfeld-gen-
orally dysentery. We this week record four
deaths there, and the persons We're all corpses
at the same time. Goshen, in Hampshire
county, appears to be still worse off. A num-
Der have died there, and many are sick. The
family of Mr.. Franklin Narramore, has been
nearly swept off, Mr.. n. and four children
having died within few days. The sickness
is attributed to the drawing down of pond,
which leaves a large surface of miasmatic mud
exposed to the action of the sun. Its disa-
greeable smell is perceptible for mile and a
half in the direction of the wind. Many also
attribute the sickness in Ashfed to the ex"
ceedingly low water in the Ashtield pond.

SUICIDE OF A SMALL BoY.-At Lexington,
on Sunday morning last, a white boy, about
twelve years of age, was observed lying in a
wagon, which had stopped on the road about
three miles from Lexington. 1t was thought
he was asleep, but upon examination he was
discovered to be dead. 1t appears that his
father had promised him a severe whipping,
and to avoid being punished he had taken
strychnine. DR.. Bell of Lexington held a
post norton examination upon the body and
the verdict was in accordance with the facts.
