MECHANICS AND MANUFACTURED ARTICLES. 



& Brown, to the merits of which most of our citizens 

 *' out of their own mouths can bear testimony," claimed 

 the admiration of the Committee, who awarded them a 

 gratuity. 



The excellent daguerreotypes of J. C. Moulton, were 

 also highly deserving of notice. 



There were several specimens of juvenile ingenuity 

 exhibited, and among them, a miniature locomotive 

 and tender, manufactured with a knife, by Charles E, 

 Pitch, which gave promise of a high degree of mechan- 

 ical excellence in the future. 



Among other articles, a clothes frame, invented by 

 our fellow townsman, Mr. Dexter Henshaw, deserves 

 notice for its simplicity, cheapness and convenience. 

 When folded it occupies so little space, and it is in 

 ^very way so well adapted to the chamber and nursery 

 that it cannot fail of a general introduction into use. 



Messrs. Daniel R. Haynos & Co., of Leominster, 

 exhibited a Piano from their manufactory, whic'h for 

 elasticity of action, purity and evenness of tone, and 

 finish and beauty of case, richly deserves the gratuity 

 which was awarded it. 



The cloths displayed by the Fitchburg Woolen Mill, 

 well sustained the high reputation they have so long 

 possessed. 



The show of boots and shoes was very good. 



The paper hangings of Messrs. Lowe & Proctor, were 

 of admirable quality and finish, and the copper works 

 of Z. P. Spaulding were well and thoroughly executed, 



A work-box by Milo Whitney, elegantly inlaid with 

 more than three thousand pieces, attracted the attention 

 of the Committee by its workmanship and artistic 

 finish.
