=== THURSDAY, MAY 26, 1870. === The boy and I have been cleaning out some furrows in the ten-acre field to day &c. Charly has been preparing the potatoe ground. Have heard, through the day, several rumors of "fenians" through the day and to night I was told that our volunteers had a fight with them down at Ridgeway & killed thirteen. I have been unusually blessed in prayer too day. My desire has fervently gone up to God through his dear Love. The assurance that His exceeding great and precious promises should never fail was never more glorious. === FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1870. === Bro. German came out to day after his cow, she having got away last night and came home. We have all of us been busy at planting our potatoes and corn which we hope to finish to-morrow. There continues to be quite exciting news about the Fenians, from different points. There are symptoms however that it will be a short-lived raid. This is as I would wish it. But it will be of great expense to the country notwithstanding. I am happy in my Saviour.
