TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 1870.

Charley has been threshing oats too-day. I have been busy at sundry jobs. We had visitors out from Dover. Mrs. Hall and Kate Riddell. I had to spend part of the time with them of course. Kate is quite a fine girl, in a good many respects. To night there came an old brother, to stop with us, by chance. He proved to be a good old man--a local preacher of our own body. His name is Henry Fox. He lives near Toronto. I was quite proffited with his company.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16, 1870.

It stormed this forenoon more like February than March. Charley has been threshing oats &c. this afternoon I went out to Dover this af Bro. Fox went out with me. I took him to Wilsons and to Mrs.{?} German's. At the latter place there happened to be a lot of my young lady friends in to tea, I was induced to stay with them. Had a very pleasant little visit with them. Among others were Annie O.{?} & Helen {illegible}. I attended a lecture and Concert to night in the town hall. The lecture was on Affrica Livingstons travels &c by Charlton of Lyndock.
