RAILROAD PRosPERITY 1.-The Now York
Courier says that an analysis of a copious
list eff railroad bonds issued in this country
shows that the result of their liabilities for
annual interest is as follows: OF seventy
six different kinds of railroad bonds, issued
by the ffty-two different companies, thir-
teen pay an annual interest of . per cent.
fity-fge pay z per cent, seven, pay 8 per
cent, and one pays 10 per cent. The to-
tal amouut ofthe bonds Represented in thil
ella ssiacation, is $fso,476,OoO. Even this
does not show the entire amount of rail-
road bonds issued. We should add at least
one-third in order to arrive at the actual
sum outstanding, making the aggregate one
hundred and sixty millions dollars.

A Tale of Suffering.
From the Toronto Colcnis'.

FROM the Toronto COlcnS'.
\ very extraordinary circumstance occurred
recently in Garafray. John Butler, of lot No
II, on the 18th concession, in that township,
whose wife had been confined in the Lunatc
Asylum, Toronto, took her home some time
in May 1854. She remained with her husband
and family until August 9th, when she left her
home and started into the woods having scarce
ly any clothing on her person and never was
heard of till the 9TH of last month, (Sep-
tembcr,) when a Mr.. London. happening to
be in the woods seeking his cattle, DISCOVERED
her alive, but entirely naked with the excep-
ton of some rags on her shoulders the rest of
her cloths she had torn off and tied in knots in
her hands. Her husband took her home, and
tried to make the best of her for little time :;
but it was said she threatened to destroy her
family with an axe, when it became necessary
to send her to goal for safe custody. We are
told that she was reduced to mere skeleton
when found. She has six children; the eldest
between thirteen and fourteen years old 1t is
supposed that she could not have existed so
long without food but from the fact of her be-
ing enciente at the time. The family are from
Yorkshire. England, and have been in this
country seven years.
