ture exhibited by Joshua Jewell of Richmond

Chase & Smith had few of their substan
tial and thoroughly machine made doors an
window sash, of butternut and pine.
We were interested in examining som
neatly woven baskets, made OF the Vernon
o,iers - branch of industry which nigh
be much extended to profit by John Cal
colt of Waterbury.
A quantity of Jewelry was exhibited b!
Fl. E. Howard, apprentice to j. E. Brins
maid among it were mosaic Earrings, mo
sale and onyx pins. crosses of Vt. marble
set in gold, gold sleeve buttons, pins, ring
&C. all made by Mr.. Howard in Mr.. Brins-
maids shop, and showing neat and tasteful
workmanship.
Mr.. j. Howe, Jr, of Brandon, was her {
again with specimens of his scales, which
took the first premium last year. This year
they found no competitors. They were
abundantly tested, however. Any one who
wished was weighed free on them, and many
tried the experiment of being weighed on
several ofthem. 1t made no difference how
ever, whether the weighing was done on
platform, portable or Hay Scales, all told
the same unerring story. The manner in
which all danger from jarring is guarded
against III these scales, seems to leave moth
ing to be desired, and their very great accu-
racy is undisputed. With these advantages
they combine others peculiarly their own.
I Thus the Hay Scales require no PIT, and
are set up anywhere in a very short
time A new combination, called the
Union Scale, has been patented and brought
out by Mr. Howe within year We have
examined it closely, and are much pleased
with it. 1t weighs on either Of hco small
platforms, tcth the same beam and poiSe,
which gives the ounces for one platform, up to
80 lbs. while for the other it reads by half
pounds up to 240 lbs. 1t is very compact,
occupying no more room than ordinary
counter scales, has a scoop, and seems to US
Just the thing for family or store. The sim
plicity of these scales enables the manufac
turers to sell them at lower prices than other
reliable scales, and their use is rapidly ex-
tending throughout the country.
We We're glad to see display of the
beautiful casslmeres and doeskins manufac-
tured by Messrs. Hardings Of Winooski, and

The Mantels, table tops, &c, of the Hyde
Vile, State Company occupied a consider able
space and secured general attention. The
imitation of various variegated marbles is
very close and it is claimed that the slate is

its cost is much less. Portions of the process |
of marblejzing are kept close secret, and
the manufacture is confined to a very few
hands

would have been still larger, could more

in this department was the Aquarium exhib-
Ited by j. S. Pierce. 1t was new sight to
many, and the people seemed never to tire of
the gold fish, and horned pouts, as
they swan slowly round amid the miniature

their little quadrangular ocean.
