VALUABLE ANTIQUE
COLLECTION AT Y. M. C. A.
General Secretary Has Assembled
Many Articles of Local His
torlcaI Interest

Among the many interesting things
about the Bennington Y. NJ. C. A. can
be found the various collections Of
antiques belonging to the general sec
rotary, Mr.. Winslow. There are Ave
distinct classes which are exhibited
at present: Bennington Pottery,
ancient glass, doctors books, spin.
ming wheels, and shells, sponges, etc.
Attic the collection is no so large as
that of some OF the professional col.
lectors, still it is well worth inspec-
ton.
In the list OF Bennington pottery
can be found Hare and Hound
pitcher, Benjamin Franklin toby, a
COW, two mugs, two books, and a
wash bowl and pitcher. In addition
to this, there are two pieces of Parian
ware, This ware is very old and con
sequently very valuable. OF the two
p tchers in the possession of Mr. VIM
slow, one pitcher is one of three OF
its kind in existence. Another rari-
ty in this same line Is door knob
which had lain, buried In tie ruins of
! the old pottery works for hundred
years or more. 1t shines with pc
culiar lustre and is very valuable.
A treat is in store for the lover OF
ancient glass, If one wishes to run
over the pieces in this collection. In
cluded in this group are Bohemian
decanter and two drinking glasses.
samples of Swan2ey, Venetian, and
q English Steigel, crystal gob,ets,
hand PAINTED china. and some old
blue china There Is also a sample
lof Tuscan glass which would be
worth many times its present value
but for slight imperfection, How
ever, as it is it Is valuable. A mul;
berry pitcher and a Wedgwood cup
and saucer round out the collection.
In addition to these, there are many
ether rare and costly pieces which
are not vet cata!ogued.
IN another case appears doctors
books, surgical instruments, medicine
cases, splints, etc, used by Drs Ben
nett and Morgan, practitioners in
Bloomington half Gentry ago. This

by tAis profession in short space Of

The First Snow.

There's nothing anywhere ! so
That beats batch OF country snow,
The sort for which you don't prepare.
But when you wake, you feel it's
there;
There's lots more light inside the
room,
That noise is grandpa with his
broom;
A-towards the barn your eye you cast
And say, We'll. wife. it's here at last;
The way the hitching post sticks
through
It's sifted down foot or two
There nothing like it, high or low,
A fall OF good, domestic snow.
You hunt your frock and bet your
form
And bring the headstalls in to warm .
A crop OF snow is jest the thing
Until the wind begins to sing
The dog jumps in and makes a track
Around the little barn and back;
The stock enjoy it. every head,
The colt wakes up and kicks the
shed;
The hens, come out, the fiirty things,
And powder up, their bills and wings
Jim Blood goes by with face aglow.
Hurrahl for good, old-fashioned snow.
The chores done up-it's middling
still
You guess you'll slip grist to mill,
And drive around and see Slim Dorr
And get that buck you bargained for,
| And find Mel Meiggs, he's pretty
good
At helping haul the winter wood.
And fetch the mail and range with
Rice
To blacksmith up for snow and ire;
It's sixteen corks, but what Of that!
You can't provide each boss mat;
/ TIE snow is here and wise men know
THAT there's business side to snow
Tomorrow, if the stage gets through
You'll see the wood teams starting,
too;
You'll see the boys with dovetailef,
heads
Discussing various sorts of sleds,
And taking bout the outs and ms
or wooden versus iron pins;
Besides. twill take EN-. several days
To settle on the neatest sleighs;
But LIES JOY, though ehllblains
bite,
The world is lovliest Wien it's white;
There's nothing from LaMotte to
Stowe
That beats good, old, domestic snow.
