IV. ON DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES. 



The Committee on Domestic Manufactures have attended to 

 the duties assigned them, and submit the following Report : — 



Although the exhibition was not so large as in some former 

 years, there were many interesting proofs of the industry and 

 ingenuity of the wives and daughters of Essex. It is a just 

 cause of complaint, that while the increase of manufactories 

 has diminished the exhibition of cloths of household manufac- 

 ture, few of the manufacturers of the county send specimens of 

 their goods to the Society's exhibition. If they would generally 

 enter specimens of their manufactures, it would manifest a lauda- 

 ble zeal for the honor of our county, and add to the interest of 

 the show, and they may be assured that their goods would 

 receive the favorable notice of the Committee. 



The Committee have awarded the following premiums and 

 gratuities, viz. 



To Mrs. Mary Pettingill, of Newbury, for best Carpeting, yard 



wide, the 1st premium, 5 dollars. 



To Mrs. Susan Kimball, of Boxford, 2d premium, 3 dollars. 

 To Mrs. Peter Parker, of Bradford, for the best stair Carpeting, 



the 1st premium, 3 dollars. 



To Mary Ann Davenport, of Newburyport,for a handsome Hearth 



Rug, 1st premium, 3 dollars. 



To Mrs. Ann Dole, of West Newbury, 2d premium, 2 dollars. 

 To Messrs. William &; Ebenezer Sutton, for a very good piece 



of Flannel, 1st premium, 4 dollars. 



To Mrs. Betsey Jaques, of Newbury, for 4 pairs of excellent 



Worsted Hose, 2 dollars.
