In looking over the volume of Industrial Statistics of Massachusetts, taken May 1st, 1865, we find an interesting Table which gives the statistics of the State for two periods of ten years interval, viz.: 1855 and 1865.

In 1855 the productions of 245,908 persons engaged in industrial pursuits were valued at $295,820,682, showing the average of each person to be $1202.97. This result was most satisfactory, but in 1865 the progress of the preceding ten years was shown by the official returns to be quite astonishing; for in the last year the statistics revealed the fact that the value of the productions of 271,421 persons was $517,240,613, or an average of $1905.67. This last, it should be borne in mind, was in a time of war, during the progress of which 159,000 of the men of Massachusetts had been engaged in the work of suppressing the rebellion, some for the whole four years and others for a shorter period. The leading and most valuable articles of manufactures or productions were the following: Cotton goods, $54,436,881; boots and shoes, $52,915,243; woolen goods, $48,430,671, calico and delaines, $25,258,703; clothing, $17,743,894; tanning and currying, $15,821,712; hay, $13,195,274; paper, $9,008,521, &c.

DURING the late rebellion Massachusetts contributed to the Federal Army and Navy, an aggregate of 159,165 men, and she expended for the war out of her own Treasury, $27,705,169, besides the expenditures of her cities and towns.
