The Journal in an article Yesterday, urged
upon The people Of IndianA. the importance Of
promptly Offering to the Bombay Fair Der 10
allment Of specimens Of mechanical skill. - but
IL says further, ''hos far our implements and i'm
provements may be adapted 10 India. We have
yss "a learn" Yet the argument IL GseS Toe
sending these specimens Of our mechanical skill
is that "ia no other way can men secure to
themselves and their wares 30 extensive an ad-
vertisement for churns, horse hoes, re.Pers. and
steam engines made in Indiana, will be ex

induce Indiana to contribute specimens of be,
mechanical skill TO the Bombay Fair il pu, in
the following words:
