| was manifested. There was not q
large display of any kind Of manu-
featured articles, but those on exhibit
ton were very good. In the northern
hall we noticed a large number
of articles on exhibition, manufac
tured at the brass foundry of W. Z.
Turnock & Co., of this city, such as
| faucets, whistles for steamboats,, mills
and manufactures, which were
creditable indeed to the manufac-
turers. These articles attracted con-
siderable attention. In finish they
showed the skill of superior work
men. Passing along further in the
hall, we observed a patent sliding
gate. on an improved plan, which for
convenience and durability, we would
say is superior to all others presented
to the people. The gate may be
adopted to farm use, or constructed
for use at a mans private residence
in the town or city. 1t is cheap as
we'll as convenient and durable. The
Rust Bros of this city, are the agents
for Indiana and Kentucky.
Brittan's lightning conductor at
tracted considerable notice. 1t is
certainly an excellent lightning con-
ductor, and is recommended by a
large number of scientific gentlemen
; Of our State, as well as by others,
where it is used. 1t is fat copper
/ ribbon, and can be made of any
length, thickness or width. 1t is con-
tinuous. having no joints, and is GER
tainly a safe conductor of lightning
!. Mr.. Asa Nortaam, of Indianapolis
. who may be found at Lodge, jenkins
& Tenders, is the agent.
Further along in the hall may be
found quite a display of machine and
/ lard oil, and soap of various kinds
all of Evansville manufacture. A
number of cooking and heating stoves
also of Evansville manufacture, were
found in the hall above named, anC
further on there were specimens o.
saddlery and harness work, and o.
+. household furniture, chairs, sofas &C.
all the products of Evansville me
; chanics. With the addition of some
!, samples of wagon felloes. spokes, sc.
the above concludes the list of articles
found in the northern hall, yesterday
} There were but few buggies on thu
4 ground. One manufactured by Messrs
| Lannert & Barenfanger, of our city
o single horse buggy, attracted mucl
notice. 1t is a piece of splendid
workmanship, certainly equa in fnisl
and beauty of pattern to any worl
- brought to this city from the East
The one on exhibition is of the mon
J itor pattern. 1t is really beautiful
: and reflects credit on the manufac
' turers.
{ In the Southern Hall the display O
r quilts, needlework. &C., was very
}. meager. We noticed a beautiful
6 tablecloth, valued at about $400-the
work of lady of our city-whict
with few other specimens of needle
work, patchwork, &c., completed the
list of articles on exhibition in this
I department. In this ball, however
there was a fair display of greer
fruits, apples, ounces. peaches, jellies
: preserves, and canned fruits, together
with samples of wheat, corn, &c.
On the grounds there were various
I kinds of pumps, and quite a small
display of agricultural implements
mostly of Evansville manufacture
: The display of agricultural nipple
: ments was by no means large or at
: tractive.
