A piece of Pottery which is one of a few found unbroken in New England, a small amount of the true Wampum, a large number and variety of Glass Beads, and some ornaments of Shell. To the east is a long case contain- ing the collection of Jonathan Johnson, a pioneer in this work and in this Association, where can be seen a general assortment of Indian fabrications. In a frame on the wall beyond is shown the handiwork of the late James Smith, of Whately, an ingenious mem- ber of our body, who coul...d outdo the natives in their own field, on a trial of skill in fashion- ing Arrow Points. In a case near the entrance, made to shelter the Old Door before it came to our hands, hangs the coarse home-made Linen Shirt worn by Samuel Allen, when killed by Indians at the Bars in 1746, — a bloody memorial of the times that tried the souls of our fathers and mothers. Lying on Case B is a Gun in a far- gone condition of decay. Generations ago it was found on the field of the Turners Falls Fight of 1676.
