In this department there was
quite a display of very old China
ware and other valuable relics. We
give the reports on the different ar
ticles as nearly as possible.
Sarah B. Brallier, 2 quilts, one 60
and the other 40 years old, unexcep-
ton ally well preserved, and fine
workmanship. A large lot of China
ware by the same lady. 45 years old,
deserving of a premium for the su-
perior quality and age of her ware.
C. C. Musselman, a rebel hat from
the battlefield of Antietam. The hat
is worthy better cause. Specimen
Of penmanship by C. c. Musselman,
81 years old, of more than ordinary
merit for the day in which it was
written.

old and two head dresses of about
the same age, remarkably well pre-
served and shows the unique style |
of that day.

a stuffed Rocky mountain Wolyer-
eene, a black bear, a cinnamon bear
and cayote skin, 3 sets of very
large elk horns, Rocky mountain |
sheep skin, white weasel and sew

more than ordinary notice and the
department which his exhibits cov-

years old and brass coffee pot 35
years old.
