MARLs, MINERALS &c.
The articles on exhibition come under
three divisions, Lime, Mari and Manipul&-
ted Phoephetes.
The Lime was exhibitedby Geo. d. Par,
ker. 1t is manufactured from oyster shells,
and is very white and apparently pure.
Phosphates wero exhibited by the Ma
vassa, &c Companies, of Wilmington, ID.
Nj. Brice & Co. and Worth u Worth. Oh
course no estimate of the value of such
articles is possible in the absence Of chem
ical analysis. But as they are manutac-
tnred from the Navassa and South Carroll
ma phosphates, which are the basis OF
nearly all similar manufactures in tins
country, there is no reason why they
should not be equal to the best. Yoac
committee are much gratifad to sec sucE
evidences CT enterprise in this new and
most important industry, and earnestly
recommend that our farmers shall give
them fair trial.
Specimens of Mari were exhibited by g.
Z. French, D. Bowdon, &. III. Roberts,
