sagadahoc county society. 119 



Miscellaneous. 



Sagadahoc sets her sister societies an example which may be well 

 followed by all those which are situated " along shore," in showing 

 at her exhibitions models of marine architecture, ships, brigs, steam- 

 boats, &c ; also articles of ships furniture or apparatus, which con- 

 stitute a very attractive feature of the mechanical department of 

 shows in a State so deeply engaged in ship building as ours.
