To add to the interest Of the exhibition we
noticed that the merchants and traders OF
both places had sent in specimens Of their
goods. rwambly 4 Smith exhibited q case
containing articles of silver Of most beauti-
full and elaborate workmanship. Hamilton

Furnishing goods arranged with great care.

establishment Of CALEB l.. GILrArMcK, in
this city. These garments were made with
great care, and looked Us though they were

We missed the usual number Of bed spreads,
from which we infer warm winter, and
the stock Of tidys, was limited, from which
we argue that these Articles have been dis

Our limits will not allow of further de-

were several musical instruments from the
workshops of Chickering 4 Co., placed in

In one of the rooms in the basement story
was exhibited a number Of sleighs, together
with light two wheeled carriage from the
mandatory Of Chadbourne & Carey, in
Saco' We notice that the committee on
carriages have done justice to the merits of
these articles, yet We think that as highly

sleighs bore highly finished and striking
likeness Of the Pathfinder Of the Rocky

The exhibition Of fruit, compared with
what it has been some years, was quite
measrc, and the same may be said OF yegc-
tables. \ large portion of the rarer kinds
