A lot of wood Screws was exh bed, decided
ly superior to those generally imported. The
utility of this branch of manufactures and the
excellence OIthe article, induce tho Committee
to recommend the allowance Of ten dollars to
the maker, Mr.. Liscom Bellows of Olneyvillo.
The Committee examined Solar Microscope
of great perfection, made by Mr.. Wm Hamlin,
of Providence. an evident improvement on the
one lately exhibited in this vicinity. 1t must
give peculiar satisfaction to the Society, TO see
one of our own citizens attaining high degree
of perfection in the manufa cture Of Instruments
requiring great mechanical ingenuity and skill.
The Committee, therefore, recommend that
Mr.. Hamlin be allowed twenty dollars, for this
second evidence of superiority in his profession.
Respectfully submitted by

HOUSEHOLD MANUFACTURES.
In this department, the Committee regret TO
say, there was not as great a variety, or as good
specimens as on former occasions. The fancy
articles, &c. were rich and tasteful, and dis
played the usual embellishments of female irgc-
nuity. OF subst antal and useful manufactures
there were but few specimens. The Com
mitee are not aware that the ladies can COM
plain Of want of suitable appreciation Of their
skill in these productions, and as they rely con-
sideraby on the co.opelation offemaIes, to rem
der tho Show Interesting, they trust that this
branch will not be suffered TO fall into dlsdredit
from a neglect to supply tho materials that have
heretofore rendered 1t as complete as any other
part of the Exhibition.
