Yarmouth is one of the old towns of
Maine and possesses fiourtshing antigua
rian association which is acquiring large
museum of relics. The hearts of the anti
ouarians have recently been made glad by
the receipt of large donation of ancient
treasures from Capt. John Baldwin Drink
water, including the cradle in which
Capt. John Baldwin Drinkwater rocked as
a baby, and his father before him, tea
cadtly used in the days when tea was prec-
ious, pewter porringer, wooden salt
cellar, two very antiquated bell crowned
hats, the protection paper of Elbridge
Drinkwater made out for him in the year
1869, when he was fourteen years old, a
door and pew seat from the old church be-
low the ledge and piece of the balustrades
and also Of the panelng, similar in con-
struction to the church at bingham, very
ancient pair of tongs. and pair of and
irons, two high-posted bedsteads of antique
make, a skillet, spider and brass kettle, an
old time tin baker. and the mixing bowl in
which the old time Drinkwaters prepared
their bread The number of families in
Maine who could get together such col
lection, is not large.
