.. Three pieces Of clsih from he Alpha
woolen Mills were on exhibition. They ~srs
Of different eolors. VIZ: brown. black. and steel
mixed. The steel-,nixed Was Manufactured 70
order. from wool raised BY Mr.. George A. Ne
bane. Of this county. The elOsh was Of excel
lent quality. the texture good. and the eolors
dxed and handsome. II our fa'mers would de-
vote more attention TO the probable business
Of shegp-raising. they would have il in their
paz4er 10 closhe themselves and their families
with but little expense. and at the same time
greatly promote their domestic comfort and in
crease their means Messrs. j. G. Shields &
VIM. Nelson are the enierPrising PrOpdeson Of
these Mills.
\ 3. A Smut Machine and Corn Shelter. By
Rev. ]. A. M.siannen. This Smut Machine,
manufactured in this county, has a reputation
throughout the State. which renders il almost
indispensable TO the success Of Flour Mil 10
have one. The Corn Shelter appeared 70 be Of
a good model. but we did not see il in opera
ton, and therefore cannot say how il works.
4. The Picture Frames, BY Mr.. r. y. Webb,
attracted considerable attention. and were much
admired. Mr. Webb is skilfai workman. well
trained to his business No one need send
abroad for such work, when Mr.. Webb. in our
own county. can furnish as good as they can
get any where.
4 s. Ploushs were exhibited by Messrs. Alex
ander Dickson. John u. Lynch, catlet G. Tin
men, and David 4. Tinnen. These ploughs
were well made aud to each one Of the makers
was awarded premium BY the Society. ID is 70
be hoped that the business Of making ploughs,
and other agricultural implements, viii soon be
so extended that our farmers will not have need
to send abroad for any Of these things. Mr.. J.
E. Lynch also exhibited Cutting Machine
with three blades; but not having been fortu-
nate enough to see il tested, we cannot say
more of it than that il passed the inspection Of
the committee, and the premium was awarded
TO It.
G. As specimens Of mechanical skill and in
genuity, the Cutlery, &c. exls1l(cd by Mr.. q,
c. Packard, the mechanic employed in the Cot.
ton Factory Of Mcssrs. webbs & Douglas, were
quite equal to any thing on exhibition. They
consisted Of Carving Knife and Fork a Ra-
zor, with movable blade; Screw Plate; a
Chisel; and a Factory Spool. They attracted
much attention. Mr.. Pickard is a native o.
old Orange, and was never out Of the STATE
until recently. With proper advantages b,
would attain high reputation for mechanical
skill and ingenuity.
z. The Claw Hammer and Hand Axe, ma
nufacturcd by Mr.. II. p. Guess, were highl,
creditablc to his workmanship. He was award
cd premiums for them, as he deserved.
II 8. The Vehicles exhibited by Mcssrs. Hurdle
& Hurdle, and Mr.. Andrew g. Murdoch, wcr'
creditable specimens of work 10 their line. TIL,
) former entered two horse Carriage and fou
r horse Wagon; and the latter Rockaway ana
|, Buggy. Premiums were awarded to both es
adjustments. This is an important branch o
: less than to the credit, of the community, tina
: it should be encouraged in preference to goint
abroad for such work. We believe this motion
is beginning to prevail pretty generally, and tina
this branch Of industry is much better sustaine,
than formerly. Our citizens no longer think j
, necessary to send to the North for a comforta
bic vehicle for their families as good as they
: desire can be got at home, and from one WHIT
will take their labor in exchange for his own
and whose prosperity will increase theirs. Th'
consequence has been, that many families hay'
i comfortable convcyanccs, who formerly moyet
: about only in the road wagon. A distinguishe.
, friend remarked to us last summer, that he ha,
noticed more improvement in Orange in thi
: respect than in any other.
I 9. Messrs. A. w. Hedgpcth and D. d. Phil
) lips, Of this town, each exhibited Saddle, an,
: the latter Bride and Martingales. They wer,
good specimens Of work, and to each premi
: um was awarded-to Mr.. Phillips, for the bes
: gcntlemans saddle and bride; and TO Mr.
Hedgpcth for the best lady's saddle. It's tt
be regretted that there was not greater mum
