FISH STATISTICS.
A Falling OFF the Past Year of More
Than one-quarter from the Aver
age.

The past yeal has been an off one in fish,
ing followed by the New England, Nova
Scotia and Newfoundland fleets, and the
catch at most of the leading fishing ports
from Provincetown to st. Johns shows q
falling off of more than One-quarter from
the average. Gloucester shows smaller re-
auctions than almost any other port. Fol-
lowing is the summary by Messrs. Proctor
Brothers, with sufficient data for COMPARE
son with former years. The falling off of
the Western Bank fishery in the past few
years is worthy of note, also the gradual de-
cline i'd the Georges catch, while the Grand
Bank codfishery receives more attention.
Cape North codiishery during the early part
OF the year proved successful. The Green
land halibut fishery has :glven place to the
Iceland fishery, where there are less govern
mental interferences and better prospects
for successful voyages. The mackerel fish
cry comes nearest absolute failure, the cat CHI
having declined steadily the last half dozen
years until the product is only a nominal
one. A portion of the catch was secured by
resorting, for the first time in many years,
to the old time hook and line fishery, but
for which result the seasons work would
have proved more disastrous. The main
products of Gloucester vessels following
winter fresh fisheries, marketed in Boston,
do not appear in the table. neither do occa
sional bank and mackerel fares of Glouces-
vessels landed at Boston and Portland, or
incidental products, such as tongues and
sounds. The receipts at Gloucester the past
year as compared with previous years were
as follows from all sources:

ton as captain of the Guards.
He enlisted Oct. 4, 1873, as charter men,

bers appreciate the good work he has done
for the company and will regret his deter
mination to serve his connection with the
Guards.

novating their armory. Plush-covered furni-
ture has been placed in the large parlor. 1t
was made by Tibbetts. The armory is one

An Investment Bond

The Equitable Life Assurance Society an.
nounces new contract which combines the
elements of life assurance with those of an
Investment Bond. By this combination Ger.
tain novel advantages are secured, while the
indemnity furnished by life assurances en-
HANGED in value.
This Bond seems worthy of special atten-
tion.
The Equitable Society reports a surplus of
twenty-five and half millions and its ma
turing policy contracts show such large prof.
its, that these bonds are claimed to have the
double advantage of offering the greatest
security coupled with the certainty of large
profits at maturity.

0snif,ing Engine Off the Track.

Shifting engine No. lis of the Grand Trunk,
Charles Pearson engineer. was pushing some
coal-cars down Randall 6 McAllister's wharf
just as the engine passed the switch the
driving-wheels ran off between the tracks
and left the engine on the ties. After con-
siderable cordwood had been piled under the
wheels and good deal of steam had been ex.
pended, the engine was brought to the iron
again. The only damage that was done was
the blocking of the track so that the 3.1o
train from Lewiston could not pass over to
the Boston & Maine.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
FANTASIA.

FANTASIA.
This is what the Albany Argus said of
"Fantasma" which will be produced at Port
land Theatre next Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday. Thelsale of seats will begin
tomorrow. 1.-The success of the Hanlon
Brothers in "Fantasma" last season at their
Albany visit, assured them warm reception
for the present engagement. 1t surprised
no one, therefore, to find one of the largest
opening audiences of the season at the Le-
land last evening. Many changes have been
made in the play and startling new mechani-
cal and scenic effects have been introduced.
The most notable innovation is In the second
act which now represents the bottom of the
sea. A realistic bit was the diving of man
headfirst from the flies to the stage. Indeed,
all through the play the law of grayitation
seems to be suspended, for spirits flew
through the air as II they had wings, and
even inanimate objects occasionally took
aerial flights. The cyclone, during which a
village is swept away, was rendered even
more striking by an illuminated Transparent
cy at the back of the stage representing a
storm. In the third act some very clever
specialties were introduced. For such very
heavy play to mount, the stage management
was unusually good, there being but one or
two slight bitches for an opening perform
ace. "Fantasma" seems to delight old and
young equally as well. and crowded houses
are certain to rule"

The Green street Fire.

The fire in Libby's stable broke out again
yesterday morning and hose was called out
to extinguish it. A hydrant stream was put
on from the hydrant on Oak street and the
smouldering fire extinguished While the
iremen were at work on the fire it was dis
covered that the cellar No. 80 Oak street was
full of water and the Machigonne engine
was sent for to pump it out. The engine
took its place in the next yard and went to
work.~VJ1uss as the cellar was cleared and
the engine was about to stop work, the right
hind wheel sunk in the ground and the en-
CINE stuck fast. After working some time
with planks and jackscrews she was pulled
out and all was we'll. Taking all things into
consideration, the fire Wednesday morning
was bad affair and nothing but the absence
of wind and the promptness of the depart
ment prevented disastrous confiagration.

Cold Waves

Are predicted with reliable accuracy, and people
liable TO the pains and aches of rheumatism dread
every change to damp or stormy weather. AL
though we do not claim Hoods Sarsaparilla to be
positive specific for rheumatism, the remarkable
cures it has effected show that it may be taken
for rheumatism with reasonable certainty Of bene-
fit. Its action in neutraizing the acidity of the
blood which is the cause of rheumatism consti
tutes the secret of the success of Hoods Sarsa-
parilla In curing this complaint. If you suffer
from rheumatism give Hoods -arsaparilln fair
trial we believe it will do you good.
