God for them; for, by our untiring industry, we can import and profitably convert the raw materials of every other region of the globe, into valuable articles of merchandize, to freight the rail-road cars, canal boats, steam vessels, and vast commercial fleets of the Union, while we rear a magnificent monument, from our exhaustless quarries, to commemorate the Battle of Bunker Hill, and "comfort with cold," the fever-stricken inhabitants of the torrid zone. That enterprising and distinguished citizen of the Old Bay State, who has been 'legitimately" honored with the title of the Ice-King,' will not fail to extend his regal patronage to the worthy Artist, who has furnished. such a valuable implement for the extension of his dominion, wealth, and celebrity. Bee Hives, and Bee Feeders. 291. JOHN H. DENNIS, Boston. One Bee Feeder. Diploma. 863. JEREMIAH STINCHFIELD, Danville, Me. One Fancy Bee Hive. Diploma. 1014. JOHN MCCLURE, North Chelsea. One Bee Hive. Diploma. 1417. SILAS SANBORN, Boston. One Patent Bee Hive. As neither of the Inventors of the Hives or Feeder were present, to explain them, the Committee were unable to report upon their merits. Mr. STINCHFIELD's Hive, (No. 863,) combined many improvements, and may be worthy of a trial, as well as Mr. McClure's, (No. 1014.) Churns. 443. E. F. DIXIE, Worcester. One Churn. 714. HUMPHRey, Bartlett, & Co., Boston. One Model Churn. 1352. SILAS WARREN, Ashland. Three Churns. Diploma. The last-named very important appendages of the Dairy, are so formed, as to admit hot or cold water around the vessel holding the cream, in such a manner as to regulate the temperature, at all seasons of the year. They are simple in construction, easily worked, well made, and cheap. There was no person present to explain that of Mr. DIXIE. The other is worthy of trial. Washing Machines. 234. JOHN ANDREWS, Woburn, One Washing Machine. 434. STEPHEN PURINGTON, Charlestown. One Washing Machine. 1312. W. B. LILLEY, Columbus, Ohio. One Washing Machine. Diploma. 1343. MILTON HOWE, East Boston. One Washing Machine. As it is impossible to ascertain the merits of the numerous machines, which have been invented for facilitating the labor of the laundress, except from the results of actual experiments, the Committee can only state, that those which they examined, were ingeniously constructed for accomplishing the object to be attained; but, as simplicity of form, combined with cheapness, utility, and facility of movement, are of the first consequence, it may be proper to state, that the Machine of W. B. LILLEY, (No. 1312,) seemed to unite the most of these requisite elements. Miscellaneous. 6. DAVID B. ROGERS, Seneca Falls, N. Y. One Cultivator-Tooth. Worthy of being tried. 190. OTIS NEW HALL, Lynn. One Budding-Box, and Apparatus. Cheap and convenient. 304. J. L. MOTT, New York. One Caldron, or Agricultural Furnace. Made of cast iron, and portable. The Caldrons are double, and connected in such a manner, that the heat passes between them, from the furnace on which they stand. It will be found convenient for preparing vegetables for feeding cattle and swine. Diploma. 365. GEORGE E. TYLER, Lawrence. One Patent Milk Kettle. 653. THACHER BEAL, Boston. One Garden Engine, and One Marble Vase. 766. J. BRADFORD, Portland, Me. One Cutting Press and Plough. Good specimens of workmanship. 873. WILLIAM MILLER, Cabotville. One Wind Mill. The Committee did not discover any thing new in its principle. 1080. STEELE & DICKINSON, Boston. Three Brooms, and One Bucket. Both samples of Brooms, and the Bucket, appeared well made. 1090. Z. COLE, Westminster, Vt., by PARKER & WHITE, Agents, Boston. One Dozen Metallic Sap Sprouts. To the Maple Sugar Manufacturer, they must be very useful substitutes for those of wood. Diploma. 1248. O. LAPPEN, Boston. Four Specimens of Wooden Ware. Commendable. 1250. R. WARNER, & Co., Boston. Three Brooms. 1457. HENRY W. DUTTON, Boston. One Ward's Case, or Parlor Greenhouse. 1602. HUMPHREY BARTLETT, & Co., Boston. One Large Cheese, weighing 550 pounds, made by JAMES STONE, Morgan, Ashtabula Co., Ohio. So far as the external appearance was concerned, this seemed a meritorious production of the dairy; but as the Committee were not allowed to investigate its internal merits, they can of course say nothing upon that head. 1616. H. E. LINCOLN, Boston. One Case of Wooden Ware. BREAD AND FLOUR. MARTIN GAY, SIMON G. SHIPLEY, NATHANIEL BUDD, Judges. The Committee appointed to examine the Bread and Flour offered for exhibition, present the following Report. They consider the manufacture of good Bread, from flour, water, yest, and salt, and without the addition of milk, or of shortening of any description, or of carbonate of soda, alum, or of any other salt, besides common salt, as of far greater importance than the manufacture of Bread with the addition of these last-mentioned materials. And, judging upon this principle, they decide, that, ELIHU T. BEAMAN (No. 960) presented the best pure Bread, that is, Bread made solely with flour, water, yest, and common salt; and that he is fully entitled to the highest premium, of Fifty Dollars or a Gold Medal. There were several other specimens of good Bread. 890. ADAMS & MCLEAN, Watertown. Specimens of Bread. 909. NORTON & HELDENBRAND, Boston, presented pure Bread, of fine quality; and the Committee would recommend them to notice. 955. J. N. TEMPLE, Newton Corner. Thirty-three Pounds of Bread. 960. ELIHU T.
