An improved Scythe Nib by A. J. White, of Foxboro', seems 

 worthy of commendation. Being adjustable, it can be set to suit , 

 heavy or light grass, and as near as your Committee could judge 

 without actual trial in the field, will make the labor of mowing 

 much easier. 



George Coolidge, of Boston, exhibited Bailey's Patent Spring 

 Roll, Cog Wheel, Washing and Wringing Machine, which will 

 commend itself to every housewife as a great labor saver, not 

 injuring or wearing the clothes, and making the severe labor of 

 wringing out heavy pieces easy and pleasant. The machine is 

 very durable, and should be in every family. 



Your Committee would recommend diplomas to Messrs. Whitte- 

 more, Belcher & Co., of Boston, for Agricultural Implements. 



A. J. White, of Foxboro, for Improved Scythe Nib. 



George Coolidge, of Boston, for Bailey's Patent Spring Roll, 

 Cog Wheel, Washing and Wringing Machine.
