of the" Michisran improvement to their celebrated plows, 

 ■which combine ease of draught and efficiency of labor. 

 They also showed some very stout specimens of implements 

 of their own manufacture — amono; them an improved culti- 

 vator — none of them sleeked up for the market, but all in 

 their field jackets and plain and good-looking. 



The Manchester Machine Company exhibited some very 

 ingeniously constructed weighing machines, of assorted sizes ; 

 many of them were carefully tested. 



Messrs. Liscom & Dearborn offered for exhibition some 

 home made pianos of very superior manufactm-e and tone. 

 They are one of the only two piano manufacturing firms in 

 the State. Melodeons and seraphines were shown by sun- 

 dry other parties, all of them, of course, the best that inge- 

 nuity and science could unitedly construct. 



Some much admired cooking and furnace heating appara- 

 tus was exhibited by A. D. Shaw, of Concord. 



Pumps of many descriptions, and some of them possessing 

 the great desiderata of cheapness and efficiency were on 

 show. Preferences seemed to be so equally divided between 

 them, that it would be injustice to all the otliers to particu- 

 larlize any one of them. 



Salmon's Patent Grain and Seed Separator, a most com- 

 pact and efficient implement, was examined with great inte- 

 rest by many hundreds. It has received the chief prizes at 

 several State Fairs, and is worthy of examination by the 

 farmer. 



Clarke's Union Bee-Hive and its tempting companion 

 specimens, filled witli white and most delicious honey, at- 

 tracted a good deal of attention from the apiarists present. 



Mernam & Merrill, of Concord, exhil)itcd some fine speci- 

 mens of blank books, pocket almanacs, and diaries, of their 

 OAvn manufacture. 



Many other articles on cxhil)ition were deserving of spe- 

 cial notice, if it were practicable to make reference to them 

 in this report.
