Obituary.

Through the death of Miss Myra A, Barker
who died at the home of her parents in East
Troy, Nov. 2Sth the Advent church in
Waterville loses one of its most energetic
wor ers and her companions true and kind
friend. Miss Barker had lived in Water
Vile for something like 10 years, having
made her home with Mrs. f. H Barker.
During the summer she went to ride and
through an accident was thrown from the
carriage. AS the result of the injury she re-
ceived at that time, she suffered slight
shock of paralysis. She steadily improved
until short time ago when she contracted
a slight cold. AS the result of the cold and
the injury she received during the summer,
meningitis set in which resulted in her
death at her home in East Troy, where she
had gone on visit. She was a prominent
worker in the Advent church in Waterville,
and had always taken great interest in the
affairs OF the church, until the time of her
illness. She was young woman of the
highest character and one who had won the
respect of all. Her age was 80 years and
months. Three brothers and three sisters,
besides her parents, survive her. Kennebec

Horace 5. Wadlin, chief of the Massa-
chusetts bureau of labor statistics has
just issued part first of volume six Of the
State census for 1895. 1t deals with the
fisheries and commerce and shows that
the aggregate value Of fish products for
the entire State during the year named
was s., 703, 143, of which S546, 351 came
from shell fish and more than 81, 800. 900
from food fish. The working capital in
vested amounts to $, 800, 900 and the APP
paratus is worth nearly 81, 800, 600 more.
Cod brings an income of more than 81,
800, 600 yearly to the fishermen. Next in
Importance is the paddock, whose annu-
al value foots up S622, 900. Then in or
der of value comes halibut, S514, 900;
mackerel, $50, 600, and Holsters, Sl07, 900.
The years production of whale and seal
products amounts to only S331 ,613, the
larger part of which comes from whale
bone and sperm oil. In point of locality,
the supremacy in Importance in fisheries
still remains in Gloucester.
The commercial statistics give the en-
tire investment in coastwise and ocean
commerce under the American flag for
the state an aggregate Of S14, 394, 49,,
which is shown to have earned during the
year 80, 329, 321 The shipping invest
mentS under foreign flags for the port of
Boston aggregate little more than the
figures just given for domestic marine
ownership in the waters of the State.
