The World's Fair. —Two View*. 
But either Rochester, Syracuse, or Albany could 
have heaten the whole show in Farming Tools 
generally. 
Yet there aro many good things in the American 
department. In Daguerreotypes, it seems to be 
conceded that we beat the world, when excellence 
and cheapness are both considered—at all events, 
England is no where in comparison—and our Da- 
guerreotypists make a great show here. New Jer¬ 
sey Zinc, Lake Superior Copper, Adirondac Iron 
and Steel, are well represented, either by ores or 
fabrics, and I believe California Gold is to be.
