to Littleton where he won many
friends with his ever kind and cor
dial salutation. Mr. Morrison mar

ST. JOHNSBURY CENTER
Exciting Times When the Ice Went
Out of the River-LOcaIs.

The ice in the river caused a great
deal of excitement on Sunday; peo-
pie were coming and going all day
long. Two big jams of ice located
at Bacon bridge and it was feared
that the bridge at one time would
go. The first jam went out about
two o'clock and the other a little af-
ter four. Some of the men of the
village secured long polse and after
considerable labor, started the ice
along But before it reached Hast
ings' bridge, it was stopped by the
other ice that hadn't gone out and
from the bridge to the brick yard
at different places. While the people
were busy watching the ice, the sec
ton men on the railroad were busy
looking after the Boston and Maine,
as the water came like a torrent
from the hills washing out under
meath the track For a number of
rails above the dam, it was cOnsid-
cred dangerous, also this side of
Fred Hills. The yellow flag and
red lights were used for two days
and the trains that pasesd just crept
along. On Monday morning the
bridge up by Pierce's Mills was
damaged and no teams allowed to
pass until it was repaired. Some in
the village who had wood in the
yard were busy getting it into safe
quarters.

those heretofore used, are now be-
ing made. The walls and ceilings
of Office and classroom have
also been reflnished as well as those
of the entrance hall and the tower
above it, The walls of the latter
have been done in the same cream
shade as the main hall, but the
frieze of ferns near the top of the
tower was found to be in excellent
condition, and has been left un-
touched. A pleasing story Of this
frieze well illustrates the personal
care and pride which Colonel Fair
banks had in every part of the Mus
cum. He suggested this plan of
decoration and in order to have
the plants true to life in form and
color as we'll as artistic, he selected
fronds from the conservatory at I'm
derclyffe and arranged the groups
which were painted according to his
directions.
Exhibits from Oceania have been
classified under various groups Of is
lands from which they were obtained
and are installed in wall cases in the
east balcony. These cases have been
fitted with fabric backgrounds to cor
respond with those containing eth
biological material from China, Jap
an, Egypt and South Africa. The
collection from Oceania has been in a
somewhat inconspicuous place, but in
these new quarters, the beauty and
uniqueness of the specimens show up
especially well. Several of the ar
ticIes were secured by Judge Hency
G. Ide during his term as Chief JUS
tice at Samoa, and presented by him
to the Museum. The singular ar
ticles of dress and ornamentation
worn by the people of New Guinea,
Samoa and the Mortlock Islands are
well represented, as are also the
odd suits of cocoanut fibre armor
and the sharks teeth spears of the
Gilbert Islands. An excellent col
lection of clubs, spears and boomer
angs, used as weapons in various
South Sea Islands, is to be found on
the walls in the northern end of the
balcony.
