Fishing Interests of Hartford County

The Htcre Republican gives some interest
ing facts in relation TO the fishing interests of
Hartford county. 1t says:
"The following is list ofshores and floats
in Hartford county, together with the names
oftheir owners or proprletors:
"Shores-Spesutia Island, two, Mr.. J NJ
Simmons and Mr.. Littleton Green; Cranberry
Though situated in Cecil county is opera
ted by Hartford county lim) Messrs j. II.
Carver & Co.; Snake Island, MIR. T. Spencer.
Floats--One each by Messrs Coalc Il Bailey :;
MessrsJ Osmond 4 Co, two, Mcssrs. A. +.
Brown Il Co.; Messrs. j. Spencer IL Co;
Messrs. VIM. b. Michael X Co; Messrs VIM
Ewing a. Co.. Messrs. Penning & Serricks ;
Mcssrs. Silver ~ Courtney; making in all
four shores and nine floats, the original cost
of which .approXimates $4,000 To manage
the shores and floats 600 men are employed
The combined catch of these shores and floats
last season was in the neighborhood of15O,OOO
shad, and 1 200 900 herring, the value of which,
rating shad at $12 per hundred and herring
at 50 per thousand, would amount to S20,-
000
an addition to these shores and floats there
are about one hundred boats engaged in fishing
gilling nets, which give employment to near
" 1876 men. The boats, nets and outfits rep
resent at least value of $4,000 The aver
age catch we suppose at 1000 per boat dur
ing the season, making in all 100000 shad
caught by gilling boats, which at same rates
as heretofore estimated would represent n
value of S24 600
"a brief summary of the foregoing shows
that the amount Of capital invested in the shadl
and herring fisheries in Hartford county to he
nearly $4,000; the employment of over 900
men, and an annual catch of 100000 shad and
about 100000 herring, representing none
tary value of nearly 100000. The revenue
derived by the citizens of Havre de Grace and
Hartford county from the bosom and the depths
ofthe old Susquehanna and broad Chesapeake
is large, and to it do many of our people owe
their livelihood, and that their labors in the
| future may be abundantly and richly reward,
| ed is our earnest hope.
ON this connection it may be well to add
that Cecil county, on the opposite side of tho
river, has some eight or ten shores and floats,
and about $50 gilling boats, which give en-
ployment to nearly 800 persons and represent
q capital of at least $4,000.
