O'Z ON DOMESTIC MANUFACTUKES. 



ON LEATHER, 



AND ARTICLES MANUFACTURED THEREFROM. 

 The Committee on Leather, and articles manufactured there- 

 from. Report : that they were pleased to find more Boots and 

 Shoes exhibited, than last year, although they cannot but ex- 

 press their regret that in this department more interest is not 

 manifested. This department includes articles of the largest 

 manufacturing business of the county, and we cannot but ex- 

 press the hope, that a larger display of specimens will be ex- 

 hibited another year. 



The committee were not authorized to give any premiums 

 for manufactured leather, and would take the liberty to recom- 

 mend that premiums be offered in future years for the best 

 specimens of both Sole and Upper Leather, also for specimens 

 of curried Goat and Kid skins. 



As these articles are so closely allied to our understandings, 

 it seems important that sufficient inducements should be offer- 

 ed to secure to it that notice which its importance requires. 

 The Committee have awarded the following premiums and 

 gratuities : 



To Jacob Dickinson, Georgetown, for the best thick boots, 3 00 

 " D. B. Stickney, Groveland, for the 2d best " " 2 00
