A SHOCKING ACCIDENT. Mrs. Susan

dence of her son, John II. Stokes, ESQ.
near Lunenburg Court House, met with
q most deplorable fate last Sunday week.
One of her granddaughter left her up
stairs. sitting up in chair before the
fire, and went down to dinner. Some
hours afterwards, the scent OF something
burning attracted the attention of a
;neaber Of the family, and on ascending
the stairs to her room, imagine the indie.
soribable horror in finding all her hair
and clothes burnt of, and the chair in
which she was sitting badly burnt. DR..
Henry May was Immediately summoned
to her assistance, but arrived only in
time to see her breathe her last. Mrs.
Stokes was about eighty years OF age,
had been paralyzed for some time, and
was partially deaf and dumb; hence her
inability to signal her situation.

IHE KATE OF lNTEREST-THE STORM
SIaNAL.-The Boston Traveller presents
some sober thoughts on the prevailing
high rate of interest-the rate of ten to
twelve per cent. being uniform through
out the country, the great money centres,
Boston and New York. alone excepted.
This journal says: 1.-The gradually in
creaslng rate of interest should make
people wary of borrowing money for
speculative purposes. and especially Of
hiring it for the purchase Of unproduc-
tive property, or in the expectation of
obtaining permanently high rents. It
Is the high rate of interest which every
te| years Causes Q general breaking up
OF business, when property and products
fall in price. This also it is which causes
wealth gradually but steadily tD concen-
trate into the hands of comparatively q
few persons in the community. Take
any series Of ten, twenty or thirty years,
or moro, and the longer the series,
the more positive and conclusive be-
comes the evidence of the fact, and it
will be seen that the most profitable
business in the world is the lending of
money. The high rate of money, high
taxes und high rents must, in the course
Of few years. tend to such concentra-
ton of wealth us cannot fail to be inju-
rious to society, and will ultimately so
straiten the debtor classes as to necessi-
tate to very great extent the process Of
wiping out old accounts and beginning
anew"
In our own section, the rate Of inte-
rest is suoh that no man can afford to
borrow money, except for u speculative
purpose. No man IN regular business
Gun afford to pny from fifteen to twenty
per cent. per annum, or return to the
lender sum aa interest, equal to the
whole amount borrowed, and tho princi.
pal beside, in four or five years. Sooner
or later, there will be q collapse, and we
fear with much suffering
