BREAD AND HONEY. The Committee on Bread and Honey have attended to the duty assigned them, and report that there were eleven entries of Honey, and fourteen of Bread. They award the following gratuities: COUNTERPANES, CARPETINGS AND RUGS. The Committee on Counterpanes and Rugs would submit. the following report: The Committee found on exhibition one piece of Cassimere and one of Flannel, which they considered worthy of notice. No goods of this kind having been exhibited for three or four years, no premium was offered; but they would recommend an award of two dollars to George W. Warner of Ipswich, for one piece of Cassimere and one of Flannel, No. 74. There was a very good number of Counterpanes on exhibition, some of which were very fine; one exhibited by Hannah Cleaves of Beverly, and one by Miss Caroline Baldwin of Salem, were especially deserving. In Rugs, there was a very large number, of excellent quality, exhibiting much taste and skill, many of which, although the cost of material was but a few cents, were really beautiful. The exhibition in this very important department has never been equalled, in the judgment of the Committee. The following awards were made :— Sally P.
