mills, will he guided in great measure bv
1t. II is due to them, not less than to the
ingenious mechanics who have given time
and study to the perfecting of this class of
machinery, that the premiums should be
awarded with great oircumspection. We
trust that the committee will embody in
their report not merely the amount of lum-
Der which can be cut by either mill in
certain time, but the distinctive features of
each, the principal points of difference ia
their mechanical construction, with what
they consider their comparative advantages
or disadvantages. This may involve some
additional Is Dor for the committee but we
believe they will feel themselves fully
recompensed by the merited gratitude of all
who are interested in this class of ma
chinery.
OPTICAL INSTRUMENTS.
Among the many curiosities OF the Do
mestlc Hal, is the case of optical instru-
ments from the store of Henry Ware. No. 9
West Fourth-street. Mr.. W. has long been
justly celebrated as one of the best opticians,
and his instruments command a ready sale
wherever their qualities have been known.
His stock embraces spectacles opera
glasses, microscopes, telescopes, both re-
fracting and rejecting; besides variety of
other things too tedious to enumerate, but
which can be seen by calling at his stand on
tllo HuIl~RIOulut Ut III MS SJOrG In the CITY.
SO justly have his instruments become
celebrated abroad, that we have noticed
numerous notices of them in papers pub
lished abroad, since the commencement of
the National Fair. In his stand at the Fair
may he found fine telescope level and
theodolite for land surveying operations
msgDihers for engravers; opera-glasses for
the lovers of histrionic amusements; railway
readers for newspaper gUurmands; specta-
cles for the interesting and aged, and gog-
giles for the tender-eyed, make up the con-
tents of the case.
His prices are reasonable, and any one
can be suited with any instrument suited to
his taste and purse.
FLORAL HALL-COoKE's SELECTION OF PLANTS
The largest and finest display of flowers
in the Floral Mall, is that of J. S. Cook, of
Walnut Hills, whose skill as nurseryman
has long been known, not only in this coun-
ty, but throughout the West. Although the
Committee have not yet made their report
public, enough has been ascertained to satisfy
us that Mr.. O., and his son Frank have taken
the following, among many other premiums
For Dahlia bouquets, first premium; for Circulia
bouquets, second premium. Best Seeding DahIia
frst premium; best Seeding Verbena, second pre-.
Ill So first premium; best collection Garman
AsteTs first premium; best collection Petunias first
premiums hest collection Roses, second premium;
best collecti Pot house plants second premium.
The collection of pot-house plants had
been badly injured by the storm at the re-
cent Carthage Fair, otherwise there is no
doubt but he would have carried off the first
prize. To convey some idea of his whole
stock, we counted some of the varieties, and
found the collection to contain ninety-eight
kinds OF pot-house plants, 100 of German
asters, ffty-two of dahlias, forty of roses,
seventy-five of verbenas, l25 of cut flowers,
besides inpumerable Others, and a large COL
lection of bouquets, prepared by Frank B.
Cook, son of the exhibitor, and one of the
best florists in the West.
Mr.. @. intends to take his entire collection
to Dayton to-day, preparatory to exhibiting
them at the State Fair next week.
