To Josiali TiscUile of NorwooU, who dis[)hiyed his patent treadle 

 for the sewing machine the Society's Diploma, and we are glad to 

 say it is an improvement over his former exhibitions, having over- 

 come its previous imperfections. 



To Timothy Smith of Dedham, an exhibitor of Manual and 

 Drake Spring Bed, the Society's Diploma. Mr. Smith is proving 

 himself to be an indefatigable worker for the comfort of liis fellow- 

 men in furnishing substantial and comfortable beds. 



Your committee desire to thank those who contributed their man- 

 ufactures, for we duly appreciate their kindness and good will to 

 the Society, and regret that so many refrained from contributing 

 where when we had every reason to expect ; and hoping they will 

 not forget us in the future, we submit 



Respectfully yours, 



Wm. R. Mann, in behalf of the Committee. 



MANUFACTURES OF CLOTH, &c. 



The committee award to Messrs. Geo. R. and Wm. R. Mann 

 of Sharon, the Societj^'s Diploma for a very superior bolt of Cot- 

 ton Duck foundation to rubber machine belts. To the efforts of 

 the Messrs. Mann the Society are under lasting obligation, not 

 only for tlie fine exhibition in their own special branch of manu- 

 facture, but for their elforts to induce other manufacturers to con- 

 tribute to this important department. A little of the zeal and en- 

 ergy displayetl by these gentlemen, if diffused throughout the 

 county, would add very much to the attractions of our annual ex- 

 hibition.
