the Awarding committee are partial
when it is not so.
About so traces of seed corn were
shown. all large ears and fat kernels, I
and but very little difference in traces.
In the Mechanical department were
exhibited, Jewett's Patent Milk Pans, !
by Martin & Seaver of Craftsbury, which
seems to be we'll known and almost in
dispensable article among farmers who
keep large dairy. Russell & Smith of
Richfcrd also exhibited patent, pan
called ''R. Smiths Improvement in But
ter Making" consisting of two large
pans in an open vessel of tin or metal,
called cooler, which they claim to be
superior to all others in durability,
cheapness and convenience. Moulton
Brothers & Co., of Morrlsyille, showed
specimens of Moulton's Patent Wooden
Water Tubing, said to be the purest,
cheapest, and most durable water con-
ductor known, and is warranted not to
burst by freezing, and SO constructed
that it will stand a very great pressure.
A sample was shown which had been I'M
der ground nine years, in sandy land,
and was perfectly sound. The 'Nation-
al Hay Tedder," by E. D. & O. Rey-
nolds, of North Bridgewater, Mass
Also the Victor Horse Hoe, by the same.
Charles J. Ufford, of Barton, exhibited
the only carriage, All open buggy, trim
med painted and ornamented in the
best style. Ufford's wagons are gaining
popularity, as the increase of his sales
testify; and why people will go a hun
bred miles, pay more, and get poorer
carriages, is more than we can tell. j
J. Hill, of Barton, exhibited sewing ma
chimes of nearly every popular manufac
ture and showed specimens of their work.
T. P. Cheney exhibited Domestic
Sewing machine and samples of its work.
It is claimed that one size of this ma
chine will do as great a range of work
as two or three sizes of the other kinds,
using the coarse three cord cotton and
linen thread which other Family"
machines cannot use, and doing the fine
sewing with the same perfection and
even greater certainty than the lighter
machines.
Judging from its size and power, the
larger size of its shuttle bobbin, the
quality of the work, and the ready off
hand manner in which it handles any
size and quality of thread, from tiny
200 cotton, to coarse Barbour's linen,
we think there is the strongest kind Of
evidence that it can maintain its claims
and that it justly deserves the patronage
of the people.
H. o. Whitcher showed some comforta.
BILE looking cook and parlor stoves, as
well as some indispensable articles of tir
ware. J. B. Fasset, of Enosburgh
shows two Taylor and Farley Organs
manufactured at Worcester, Mass, which
he claims to be the best finished anG
best sounding organ manufactured, fol-
the price S. W. Parker, of Newport
} exhibited one of Woods Parlor anC
) Vestry Organs, manufactured at Cam
bridgeport, Mass. Also one of the Ma
) son and Hamlin Cabinet Organs, made a
, l53 fremont street, Boston. The exhi
bitors of these organs favored all those
: within hearing, with vocal and instru
} mental music, which seemed to throw +;
: sort of cheerful ray on the countenance
l of those without overcoats. A HANDY
article for the washerwoman was show
, by Z. E. Jameson, in the shape of a ne7
patent Clothes Wringer, called tn
1 Providence, manufactured by tn
Providence Tool Co. Every year bring
5 improvements ON almost every paten
1 article, and this is probably the lates
| thing out in the wringer linc and no
| only the latest, but the best.
In the ladies' department, was show
