Our first snow storm came this forenoon but it melted as fast as it fell or nearly so. We have not been able to work out any but have been working in the barn husking corn &c. I comenced a letter to Frank Springer this morning. To night I have been away on School business, down to Smiths. We finished making out the Assessment List. Godliness with comtentment is great gain. So says the Word of God and the Christian can prove it at every turn of life.

Charley has got to ploughing again to day. he finished up another field this morning next to the road. This makes about twenty five acres in all that we have got done. I have been busy doing chores as usual. I have constant need of crying out in the words fo teh Cananitish{?} woman, "Lord help me'! Those words of Christ are indeed, "Without me ye can do nothing." But the prayers of the righteous availeth much Thank God, He hears my prayers Daily.
