work done at his establishment. The style is the most mod- 

 ern, but in it good taste has not been sacrificed to fashion 

 and inconvenience. In neatness, it is all the most fastidious 

 could desire. In richness of material, and style of finishing, 

 it is worthy the most refined taste. A neater and better job, 

 we have never seen, East or West. 



A Loom was exhibited by C. S. Mendenhall, which is very 

 simple in its arrangements, and easy in its operations. The 

 whole labor consists in pulling forward and returning the 

 beam, by which the treadles are worked and the shuttle 

 thrown. A child eight years old can work it as well as a 

 grown person. We understand he has applied for a patent. 



The Bran-Duster, patented by James S. Hughes, of this 

 county, was exhibited in a small model, but entirely sufficient 

 to test its superior merits for divesting bran of every particle 

 of flour that may attach to it in ordinary bolting. It re-

 them as much better than Collins' best. 



The CoRN-S HELLER, made and exhibited by W. D. Wilson, 

 of the Richmond Foundery, is one the most efficient of this 

 class of machines. The workmanship was good and run with 

 light force. It will shell 25 bushels an hour, by the force of 

 one person. 



The CiDER-MiLL, put up and submitted by Mr. Wilson, is 

 one of the most convenient things that can be had on a farm. 

 It occupies a space of only about four feet square — can be 

 easily removed from the fruit cellar to the orchard, or else- 

 where, as convenience may require. It grinds and presses 

 by the same power. 



The Bee-Hive, exhibited by S. M. Cook, received a certifi- 

 cate of merit, and is regarded by those who have used it as
