Marj. saw by yesterday's paper that the Murry Dillon's have twins a boy & a girl, which brings the total of their progeny up to five head.

Saturday January 16th

We were very late getting to bed last night as Marj. went in for a sewing bee and made a great number of waists for Harry B and aprons for herself and I don't now what all while I snoozed in my chair, but we were late getting around this morning so consequently I haven't done much to-day. I went over and swept the school house this morning and got the snow shovel over there and shovelled out the lane. The drift was not deep but it was a long one and took me over an hour to cut a canal through it. We sat around for awhile after dinner and Marj. read Bleak House while I rocked Harry B to sleep and then we went out and took a couple of pictures of the baby. Marj. had a busy day cleaning up the house and making pies and worked till midnight and after to-night cutting out shirts and bands for the baby out of some goods Mrs Bagley gave her which she had saved from the wreck of Elton's mill. The mill property was to have been sold by auction to-day in Simcoe. Very much milder and very sunny. It has thawed a lot.

Sunday January 17th

Marj. stayed in bedf all morning and oart of the afternoon as a precautionary measure so as to avoid a reetition of last month's mix up. I have just chored around the house all day and this after noon wrote a letter to Dorrie to thank her for the book shensent me for Christams. Marj. got up about four and stayed up all evening but felt pretty tough. Harry B woke p about ten o'clock and pitche dup all he had eaten all day. I think it was the first time in his life that he veer vomited. He ruined all his bedclothes so slept on the dining room sofa all night but was veryrestless. Very soft, mostly cloudy and some rain. The ghorses got out into the barn this after noon & upset the pat chop and spilled all the oats & bran but forunately there wasn't much to spill.
