WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1870.

Charley has been cuting wood too-day in the woodhouse, on account of the rain. I attended School meeting too-day. I got through with my part of the business all right, But instead of geting liberty at the close of my first time I was re-elected. We went up to John Matthew's too-day to dinner and had a great dinner and a "musical time" generally. Some of the neighbours beside us were there. Too-night I attended the meeting as usual. It is certainly increasing in interest. Souls are being converted.

THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 1870.

Still the weather remains stormy and cold. This forenoon we worked in the woods. This afternoon, as soon as we could get ready ma and I went out to Dover so as to be at the tea-meeting. I expected to have seen my friend S. M. S. too-night but was doomed to disappointment. I was relieved however in receiving a note from him stating Making his reasons for not Coming. He expects to be able to come in a week or so. The tea-meeting was a decided success. There was a large number of people there. Proceeds were about eighty dollars.
