went through here to-night armed with shot-guns. They have spent what I suppose they call an ideal holiday unless it would have come nearer perfection if they had had more than the two rabbits which bulged the back of Nanny's coat to show for their tramp. Cloudy and raw.

Dad. took the big team and started to plough in the corner field this morning and I hooked the little team to the waggon and took Mr. Clarke's barrels down to old Maneer and he promised to ship them to-morrow. I left some oats at the mill for chop on my way down and went back that way to get them but had to wait a long time for them. When I got home I went out and got three shocks of corn (all I could pile on the waggon) and hauled them into the barn. It turned out a very rough after noon and Dad. and I just did chores. I had intended getting in the rest of the mangels but it started in to snow about noon and this after noon developed into a heavy snowfall and to-night the ground is covered several inches deep with it still storming

Marj went down with the church money soon after dinner and stayed at Aunty's for tea going to the girl's auxillary to-night. I walked down after tea and as it was such a stormy night we both stayed at Aunty's all night. Old Dover looks to-night like old Miss Newrickh with a new set of jewels as she is gorgeously illuminated with the Hydro Electric which was turmned on tis after noon. It is hard to judge just how grand they are to-night as the snow makes the night quite bright anyway, but it is loke being in a lighted room in te immediate vicint=ity of the lights. They areplace dhigh upon the poles and ,make the few gas lamps of which we were once so proud and which are now nearly o=all out of commission look like puny candles in compart=rison. That the latter are still lighte dis a great source of grief to Aunty Alice who consoiders it a shameful wast eof gas when it is so scarce. Dad found the black & white heifer out backmof the barn with a calf this morning.
