Your committee do award to Mr. John Brocklebank, of Row- 

 ley, the first premium o^ fifteen dollars. 



To Mr. Joseph Osgood, of Dan vers, the second premium of 

 ten dollars. 



They would further remark, that the four-year old steers of 

 Mr. Jeremiah Hathaway, of Marblehead, were very large, and 

 worked in a manner highly acceptable to the committee. 



That the steers from the farm of Hon. S. Putnam, in Danvers, 

 were handsome and worked well. 



And that the same may be said of the steers owned by Mr. 

 Billy Emerson, of Topslield. 



It is to be regretted, that our farmers should pay so little .it- 



tention to the training of their cattle. The object in offering 



premiums is rather to produce skill in management, than 



strength of Muscle. Nature gives the one, art the other. 



For the Committee, 



BENJ. T. REED, 



Chairman.

No, IX.— ON DOMESTIC MANUFACTURES. 

 The Commiitee on Domestic Manufactures respectfully 



REPORT : 



That the articles exhibited for their inspection were gene- 

 rally of good quality, and superior to those of the same kind 

 produced the last autumn. The number of articles exhibited 

 were so small, that the Committee did not feel at liberty to 

 award the full amount in premiums authorised by the Trustees 

 on this subject. They were much pleased with some cloths ex- 

 hibited from Crowninshield's Factory in Danvers. In the col- 

 ouring and finish they were very superior. 



For articles of domestic manufacture, they have awarded the 

 following premiums: 



To Mr. James Howarth, of Andover, for Flannels of very su- 

 perior quality, equal to any imported, a premium Cff six dollars.
