FISH AND FISHING. The 10Th annual report
of the M lssachusetts Commissioners of Inland
Fisheries has been presented to the Legislature.
There were 252 900 shad Matched and turned
into the river at North Andover. A small in
crease in shad fishing may be expected in 1885,
and a still larger increase in 1886. The average
cost for Matching is about 81 cents thousand
There has been distributed during the year A.
900 young carp, 125 trout spawn, 100000 Lake
Superior salmon trout spawn and 100000 Pen
obscot salmon spawn. The 10! inch law in
regard to HOLSTERS, if rigidy enforced, is beiev-
ed to be a step in the right direction.
Two hundred and five fisheries have reported,
the reports growing less in number each year,
showing that the State is either losing in fisher
men or neglect on their part to send in returns.
There is an increase in the catch OF sea herring,
founders and flat fish, ees, striped bass and
blue-tish, but in general the catch is falling off
as compared with the two preceding years and
large decrease in mackerel and Menhaden is
noticed. The total catch of leased ponds COM
puted was about 1000 fish. The expenses of
the commission were 81 ,204.

ing in Il poor fifth. with but %. The total
number of bears killed in the state, $40, would
seem to indicate that the woods We're full of
them, but this is far from being true. Their
haunts are restricted to few remote mountain
sections from which they seldom emerge, un-
less driven out by hunger, or the dogs of the
hunter. Although tradition credits them with
being extremely dangerous and aggressive, the
number of Maine people eaten up by bears is
very, very small 1t is a fact that, while our
children have grown up in mortal dread of
bears as devourlng monsters, the bears them
selves stand equally in fear of our grown up
children. The fear is mutual. Except in de-
fence of their young they are harmless as
so many runaway dogs; indeed, the whole
Maine colony of the bruin tribe is less to be
dreaded by human kind than single trio of
grey wolves. such lis are found in Canada and
sometimes stray over the border into Maine.

The Secretary of State has sent "A commune
cation to the Senate asking for an appropriation
OF $4,000 TO get what evidence is in the French
Archives respecting the Spoliation Claims. The
communication was referred to the committee
on appropriations. whence it will probably be
reported favorably. The object of this appro-
priation is to obtain the names of claimants
which do not appear in the documents filed in
the State Department here. Many of the orig
ina claimants filed their claims against France,
where alone their names appear.

New Years day was duly observed by the
patrons Of Thespis, who assembled in goodly
numbers at the Grand Opera house at both
the matinee aud evening performances OF
"Nordeck," the new and entertaining drama
written for and enacted by the popular star,
Frank Mayo. Smooth and pleasing per-
formances were given on each occasion, the
role OF ''Nordeck'' by Frank Mayo being en-
acted IN vigorous and powerful manner,
while his support, especially in the imper-
sensations OF the Countess Wanda by the
gifted actress Miss McAuley, the part OF
Nordeck's mother 10y Henrietta Vadders, and
the role Of Withhold by Mr.. Taylor, are worthy
OF especial commentator.
The same drama will be given TO night and
at the matinee tomorrow afternoon. To-
morrow night Frank MAYO will appear In his
immortal production Of 'Davy Crockett"

WoRTHINGToN, Mimi, Dec. 30.--For the
past two weeks we have been favored with
enough snow to make passable sleighing,
which our people have been enjoying as
much as possible. Business has been good
here all the fall The large amount of fa1
harvested in this vicinity and the high price
at which most of it has sold has made ouI
farming people in good circumstances, and
the trade of our merchants has been good.
Several young farmers have done so well
with their farms the past season as to make
them feel as though they could afford to sup
port a family and several of them have con-
sequently gone and found a lady who have
united their fortunes for better or worse.
This is as it should be, and we hope more will
follow the good example.
On December % occurred the installation
of officers of Fraternity lodge 101, A. F. &
A. NJ, of this place, followed by grand ball
at the hall, the music being furnished by the
Spirit Lake string band. A fine supper was
spread by the fraternity, and very enjoy.
able time experienced by all.
On Saturday evening next we are to have
joint public installation of the officers elect
of Stoddard post No. "a, department of Min
