ON DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES. 



The Committee on domestic manufactures having at- 

 tended to the duly assigned them now submit their re})ort: 



The number of entiies in this department is one hun- 

 dred an 1 eighty-one, from towns in the County, being 

 about thirty more than at the exhibition of the last year. 

 The hearth rugs, as in fornier years are very numerous. 

 The various specimens of work presented are, as the 

 Committee believe, wrought with a.s much taste and el- 

 egance as those exhibited on any former occasion. The 

 Committee congratulate the Society on the continued in- 

 terest manifested by the ladies in this exhibition, in which 

 we have seen such an admirable display of the inge- 

 nuity and skill of the fair daughters of Essex. The cor- 

 dial thanks of the Society are due to them for their rich 

 contributions to-day to the pleasure of the eye in such 

 a variety of finely wrought articles, some of which, it is 

 believed, exceed in beauty any that have heretofore 

 been exhibited.
