Deacon James Crie.

Deacon James Crie, one of our Oldest and
most respected citizens, died Saturday at his
residence on New High street. aged " wears
AT the time OF his death he held the position
OF storekeeper in the Custom House, had
charge of some six bonded warehouses. and
was considered by one and all most CON-
scientious official. He was appointed an In
spector by Collector Jedediah Jewett in 1861
and Istorekeeper in 1875 by Collector Wash
burn, consequently he had been in the customs
service continuously twenty-one years.
Some time since Deacon Crie, while attend
ing to his duties fell from hogshead of
molasses and injured his side. Later he took
severe cold which settled in his side and
caused him so much pain that he was obliged
to give up work on the 11th inst, and since
that time he has gradually failed till death en-
sued as above stated.
He was a deacon of the old Third Parish
church, and later of Plymouth church mn to
the time Of his death. He was man of
sterling integrity, of a genial disposition, and
had very wide circle of friends. He was
very active worker in church circles, among
which he will be greatly missed. He leaves
widow, two sons and daughter, children by
his first wife.
Collector Dow has directed that the Custom
House be closed at 230 o'clock this afternoon.
as mark of respect for his memory.
The funeral will take place this afternoon at
O'Clock, from Plymouth church, Rev. DIR.
Seward officiating.

attempted, but the decorations were in excel
lent taste. There were banks of flowers taste
fully arranged on either side Of the desk, vines
were trailed gracefully from the same, and a
beautiful star made of roses, memorial en-
blem, was hung from its centre. Potted plants
were grouped attractively about, and several
memorial emblems beside the one above men,
toned were furnished by friends. The exer-
cises were interesting and enjoyed by the large
audience present
The programme consisted of responsive
Scripture readings, with singing by the prim-
AIRY department and the church choir. Ad-
dresses were made at their conclusion by DR..
A. X. p. Small Of the First Baptist church.
and Rev. James McWhinnie, the pastor
The report of the Superin .endeht, A. s.

ing condition. In the Secretary's report the
total membership OF the school was given as
3lS, with an average attendance OF 173. Two
members Of the school have died during the
past year, and nine from the school have
united with the church.
The Treasurey's report gave the receipts OF
the school for the past year as 1920 G3. and
expenditures $223,52 The report of the
Librarian showed the library to be in good con-
ditiou. The school enters upon the fortv-
eighth year of its existence with excellent
promise of usefulness.

dealers hands are materially reduced. The
shore feet landed 1900 barrels at
the various outports for the week closing Sat-
urday, bat all were quickly disposed of at an
advance on previous prices. The fishin sea-
son is rapidly drawing to close, and there is
little prospect of much larger catch, though
the vessels which arrived early in the week
brought in large fares. AT the high prices
now ruling the lucky vessels are doing well,
and some of them will realize large sums for
the seasons work, but the great bulk of the
feet are still without a catch and the average
earnings will be very small.
The quantity Of mackerel landed by the
New England fleet at all ports for the week
was 13,103 barrels against 5000 barrels for
same week in 1882 and II ,23S barrels in 1881.
There has been short supply of nearly all
kinds of fresh fish during the week, and deal
ers found considerable difficulty in filling
orders.
