40 MECHANICS AND MANUFACTUR|:S. 



cutter-heads, emery wheels, or any small tooll which it is desirable to 

 use. This would be a very valuable machine in shops where other 

 motive power could not be had. 



Mr. Greorge A. Henry had a beautiful miniature Steam Stationary 

 Engine of about one-fifth horse power, which was driven by steam that 

 was conducted through a f pipe from the main boiler some 60 feet 

 distant. This attracted large numbers by the beauty and neatness of 

 its finish and the rapidity and stillness of its working. 



A. McAllister showed, to the evident satisfaction of all who had the 

 pleasure of examining his improved Mitre Box, that he had reached 

 the desideratum in this invention. 



The New England Machine Co. have recently brought out a beauti- 

 ful design for an arjuarium. They had two of them in full running 

 order, containing a few handsoma brook trout. 



A. D. Waymoth & Co. had upon exhibition one of their improved 

 Wood Turning; Lathes, desio;ned for turnins: all sorts of small work, 

 such as tassel moulds, sleeve buttons, wooden jewelry, rings, pill box- 

 es, and, in fact, nearly every conceivable form. They have built these 

 Latbes upwards of 14 years, arid have lately secured an extension of 

 their patent. This Lathe furnishes the most rapid method of turning 

 small wooden articles yet invented, and hand work cannot stand be- 

 fore such a machine, cither in rapidity or nicety of product. These 

 machines are made in the best and most durable manner, and are sold 

 at a price so low that no wood turning establishment can afford to be 

 without them. 



Charles Fessenden had in this department a very neat " Concord" 

 wagon. 



Edwards & Stockemer, of Fitchburg, showed a specimen of their 

 work in the way of a light Express Wagon, which was a model of 

 beauty combined with strength. The painting upon this vehicle was 

 decidedly good. 



George Tisdalc of Leominster, amused a large assemblage of people, 

 especially the ladies and children, at his table, where he was busily 

 engaged in Glass 'Blowing, to the great enjoyment of all who had the 

 satisfaction of seeing him. 



Messrs. Dow & Starbuck had upon exhibition a very large variety 

 of Heating and Cooking Apparatus, consisting of ten Stoves and one 

 Furnace. A very prominent feature of this collection was the celebra- 

 ted Peerless Cooking Stove, which took the gold modal at the Paris 

 Exposition in 1867. This Stove, so far as finish is concerned, is the 

 most wonderful specimen of workmanship in this line which we have 

 ever seen, and Stoves of this make which are put upon sale, though 

 not so elaborate in outside finish, are still, marvels of neatness, while 

 all their working parts are exact duplicates of this beautiful Stove, 

 having been cast from the same patterns. They also exhibited their 

 New Peerless Furnace, which is said to contain more valuable points 

 than any other Furnace yet offered to the public. This Furnace pos- 

 sesses an unusually large amount of radiating surface, is very strong
