the load of coal, a little after six Alan came in and borrowed our sleigh to go to Simcoe to-night with a load and left his here. This after noon we saw what we think was Faulkner's roan mare going by here on the trun hoitched to a cutter with no body in it. Presently Colin Ryerse came after it bareback on his own horse black mare and soon after came nack driving the roan and leading the black. I went dowen to inyterview him, he said a couple of girls had upset coming up the ghill which was full and the horse had got away, he caught it down at the mill bridege where it had stopped. The dashboard of the cutter was broken and it was full of snow. It has been a fine day fairly sunny and cold.
