gratifed with the display of articles on exh
bition. The first floor Of the spacious store
room, contains some specimens of mechanics
work, which are highly creditable. We ar
surprised at the paucity of entries in this line
considering that it is a Mechanics Fair. But
without further comment, we proceed to max
a note of some of the things to be SEEN"
oAsTlNes AND MACHINERY.
There is several specimens OF cast iron ienc'
manufactured by Andrew Anderson d Co.
and entered by Mr. VIM. Stewar, which are
well made and highly credtable to the skill o
the manufacturers.
In this line, Mr. T. N. Brennan exhibits &
panel of compound fence elegantly finished
and highly ornate capital of the same mate
rial. He also exhibits al iron column, an ar
cbitectural iron cornice, window blinds, brak-
cts. &C., together with an excelsior corn mill.
These specimens commend the good taste and
excellen: workmanship of Mr.. Brennan to pc
pular favor in more expressive terms than
mere words can do.
From the Claiborne Machine Works, Mr..
hackers g. Co. show a selection OF mammoth
water pipe, and small engine, e horse pow
cry with boiler attached, IN the form OF
locomotiVe. These gentlemen have been but
a short time at work, but their specimens IN
dictate that they are masters OF their bust
ness.
From the foundry of II. P. Doris are choice
SAMPLES of their castings in the shape or a
kettle a cook stove, and an office stove equal
in point of material aud finish to any imPor-
ted
A Portable Grain Mill, entered by J. l..
Jennings. manufactured at Troy, n. Y, at
tracts much attention. 1t is Felton's patent,
and can grind any thing from gram OF wheat
to ten penny nail. Meal and flour OF the
first descriptions are turned out by it, al the
rate of from three to eight bushels per hour,
according to the quantity of power used in
driving II This mill is worthy the attention
of our Planters.
Mr. Ioree also exhibits HemingtOn's ap-
paratns for feeding fueI into furnaces of steam
boilers, another Indiana production. IL Is an
invaluable accompaniment to the steam engine
of saw and planning mills carrying the dust as
fast ss sawed into the furnace for consumP-
ton as fuel.
MI r Romans contributes steam engine,
from the mauufactory of Woodbury. d Co.,
Rochester, New York. This s d beautiful
sneoimen. and would be a favorite in any part
of the country where excellent work Is aPPa-
rent.
MANUFACTURES AND MERCHANDISE
Amongst the articles of mechanism we no
ted q watch movement complete and in oPe-
ration. and on inquiring learned that 1t was
manufactured entirely in this city, by Mr.. a.
Cochrane, and is most perfect time Keeper
as its ease of action fully indicated. On eX-
animation we understood its train to be ~ INTO
a pipion Of 1854 into pinion of $50 INTO
ninion of 500 into a pinion Of lilo into its
naIIets. which form the principal part of the
esoape. The beat is 4 times per second-24O
per minute, or IA, 400 per hour. 1t was made
expressly for his own use, by Mr.. o., in his
leisure moments, and was not intended Tor ex-
bibition or he could have had it cased and
fully completed, but that makes no difference
TO the workman, as its present state EXHIBITS
its high finish, beautiful fittings and proper
tions to better advantage. 1T shows, too, that
the maker is an ingenious and skillful me-
chanic, such q one as our city ought TO De
proud of.
