HOUSEHOLD MANUFACTURES. 



FIRST DIVISOX. 



In the absence of the committee duly appointed by the society, we the, 

 acting committee upon household manufactures, have attended upon the 

 duties resting on a committee of award, and beg leave to report. 



Although your committee were called together entire strangers to each 

 other, and also to the competitors, yet we have had a very pleasant inter- 

 view with each other, and we trust have endeavored to distribute to the 

 several competitors, unbiased, the amount in our hands for their benefit. 

 Your committee were extremely pleased to notice that the spinning wheel 

 and the hand loom were still in use, and that nice flannel sheetings, heavy 

 durable carpeting, extra nice blankets and robes, as well the more beautiful 

 products of the needle in its various uses and forms are still offered for our 

 inspection and encouragement. There were 16 entries of flannel sheeting, 

 all good, some better and others best, as we are disposed to signify in our 

 awards. We wonld make particular mention of a lap robe by Mrs. IT. D.
