A Ranid Increase in the Catch of| UVackere! and Lobsters.

ABSTRAUT OF INSPEOTOR’S REPORT FOR 1880.

ACCORDING to newspaper report, Profes- | sor Baird, of Washington, U. 5., last year, | prophesied that, this year, good mackerel would be as plentiful in the Bay of St. Lawrence as ‘‘ tinkers” were last. There sult has proved the correctness of the Pro- fessor’s views; for the product of the Island fisheries, calculated at official rates, shows an increase of $272,787.50 over the unpre- cedentedly large catch of last year, mainly in mackerel and lobsters. The total value for the year is set down at $1,675,083. 90, as against $1,402,301.40 last year. Of mackerel, 82,570 barrels were taken, being an increase of 12,485 barrels ; and of lob- |

sters che very large quantity of 3,551,050 |

cans, against 2,272,825 cans last year, | ; ; "2 905 a; —being an increase of 1,275,220 cans. |

These two have now become the staple fisheries of the Province, to the growing neglect of other sea products. The fact 1s, the Island fisheries have undergone a change since 1877—the year of the Hali- fax award—and many men then engaged in sea fis ling, now devote themselves to sup- plying the lobster factories. The returns of 1875 were the latest published when the Fishery Cormamission sat in Halifax in the summer and autumn of 1877, and it is pre- sumable that these returns were the basis on which the value of the Island Gulf fish- ery was estimated to the Americans in fix- ing the award at $5,500,000. Lobsters alone are now worth more to the Island than the mackerel on which the award was made, These returns of 1876 show a total official value for mackerel, cod, hake and haddock, together with sounds and fish oil, of $423,050.96. This year’s return for the like products shows a value of $852,467. Total value of all the Island fisheries in 1876, 3494,967.08 ; in 1880, $1,675,088. 90. This rapid increase is sufficiently remark- able.

Mackerel have been of fairly good quality from ‘he beginning of the season, in some localities the grade being one-third of num- ber one’s, and one-third of number two’s. A few were taken unusually early on the east coast and a few remained unusually late on the west. Very few American fishiny vessels were in the Bay, and as the schooling was over early, they did not do well.

Codifish show a decrease of 7,414 cwt. on the product of last year; hake and had- dock alsu show a considerable decrease, amounting to 9,246 ewt., which produces a correspondidg deficit in sounds and oil. Herring show a deficit of 6059 barrels. There is but slight change in the other sea- fisheries or in the product of the rivers. Fresh. water fish were abundant, which the

better preservation ef the streams.

Salmon have been extraordinarily scarce in New Brunswick. and Nova Scotian waters, so much so that in some localities formerly well supplied, none have been seen, and a famine exists for ova for the hatcheries. We hear that all the hatch- eries in the Dominion are on short allow. ance. The waters being so low in the Island rivers caused anxiety to the fishery officers ; but by great exertion 500,000 eggs have been procured for the Dunk River establishment. Winter River was tried without effect. Salmon were there, but they had spawned on the shallows. It is probable a receiving house and trap will be built on the Winter River before another seazon, so as to keep up a supply for the Dunk River Hatchery.

The following figures are given for the sake of comparison of the staple fisheries :

Tie Inspector’s annual report is lengthy and exhaustive, and touches on several points required by the changing nature of the fisheries.

It is to be remembered that the Prince Edward Island fshery is a boat fishery only. The full expansion of the Island fisheries is yet to come.

Brush Manufacturing by the Blind.

The brush-making establishment of Wil- liam Smith & Co., a firm ef which both members are blind, is in Scott’s Hall, Kent Street. Here, yesterday, we found Mr. D. M. Reed, une of the firm, at work. He kindly gave us all the information regarding the business which we desired lishment consists of two which is used as a store room—the other as a workshop. The store room is partly supplied with ready-made brushes, and the material for their manufacture. The work- shop is fitted with the machinery necessary for making these goods, viz.:~-A turning lathe, two work benches, two pairs of large shears, vices, ete.

We learn that the firm has been carrying | on quite aremunerative business in the city during the past three months. Since their commencement they have manutac- tured over one hundred dozen brushes, which have commanded a ready sale in Char- lottetown, Summerside, Pictou and New Glasgow. They make three different kinds and four different qualities of brushes, viz. : Stove, Nos. 2, 3, 4and 5; Shoe, Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4; and Scrubbing, Nos. 1, 2,3 and 4; which are quoted at the following prices per dozen:—No. 2 Stove Brushes, $3; Noe. 3, $2.40; No. 4, $2; No. 5, $1.60. Shoe Brushes, Nos. 1, 2. 3 and 4, are quoted at the same price as Nos. 2, 3, 4 and 5 of Stove Brushes, while the prices of Scrub- bing Brushes per dozen are quoted at from $2.80 to $1.44.

Regarding the quality of the brushes manufactured by the firm, we learn that they are, in the different classes, equal, if not superior, to the brushes imported. Tf. S. Sims, the large brush manufacturer of St. John, N. B., visited Smith & Co.’s establishment while in the city, and pro- nounced the brushes manufactured by them equal to those turned out at his own factory. The goods sold by the firm to dealers in this city, we are told, give gene- ral satisfaction, being made of excellent material and being durable.

Besides Brush Making, the firm carries on a business in Piano Tuning, and in re- caning chairs, Mr. Reid is a piano tuner of experience, and has certificates of com- petency from Mr. Leaverman, the piano dealer in Halifax, and also from Mr. C. F. Fraser, Principal of the Institution for the Blind, Halifax. He tunes pianos for Messrs. Miller Bros. of this city, and C. P. Fletcher, music dealer. His terms are $5 a year, and $1.50 for an occasional tuning.

William Smith, the senior member of the firm, is a native of Norton, King’s Co., New Brunswick. Ho lost his eyesight when two years of age, He entered the Institution for the Blind, Halifax, in the year 1874, where he completed his educa- tion and studied the trade of brush making. Mr. Reid, the jenior member of the firm, is a native of Pictou, N 8. He lost his eye- sight when six years of a He entered the Institution fer the Blind in 1872, where he was educated and learned the piano tuning and brush making business.

It is a pity that the spirit which animates these young blind men, making them in- dustrionus, enterprising, successful, honest and happy, weuld not enter into some ot the lazy fellows with eyes to sve, who loaf at our street corners, drink at onr tap rooms, and go about complaining of hard times.

The Fall of Duicigno. The latest advices from the East state that during the fighting on the 23rd Nov., which preceded Dervisch Pacha’s occupa tion of Dulecigno, the Albanians made a resolute stand in the olive plantations out- side the town. A despatch from Ragusa says the Albanians lost in this fight twenty killed and fifty weunded. The Turkish loss was considerable. It was believed at Ragusa that all the Albanians had risen against Turkish rule and that the wires had been cut. Dervisch Pacha having in- formed the Prince of Montenegro that he was prepared to hand over Dulcigno, the latter has replied that he cannot accept a mere surrender, but requires a formal ces- sion, and that he has invited the repre sentatives of all the Powers to he present at the negotiations and sign the protocol of cession. Adespatch to the Times from Bodsic says the Turkish delegate informed the Montenegrin delegate that the Mon- tenegrins must occupy Dulcigno on Fri- day, as Dervisch Pacha could not remain custodian of the town, and the Montene- grin delegate acquiesced. General Petro- vic, the Montenegrin commander, will march on F:iday, with all the troops he can collect, to take possession of Duleigno. Dervisch Pacha has issued a proclamation stating that the Porte will grant land to any of the inhabitants who wish to quit Duleigno with the Turkish troops. Ata meeting of the Ambassadors, M. Onon, the Russian representative, proposed that the Powers should guarantee to Montenegro the district of Dulcigno.

After laying up, the crew were paid off and the negroes furnished with transportation tickets to Cairo. Before leaving, however, they made aun attack on the mate and four white men went to his assistance. A bloody fight ensued, in which two negroes were shot and seriously wounded. Five others were killed with a monkey-wrench and an axe, after which the remaining negroes were driven from the boat.
