THURSDAY, February 3, 1870.

Bro. Furgesson & I started for the Square Station this morning as soon as we could get ready. His sister Belle went with us. I left them at the Station from whence they went to Hamilton and I went back to Springers. Spent the afternoon there and to night went with Frank & His two Sisters to a social at the first brick house on the mountain west of their place. There was a big turn out and the Social netted something like forty six dollars. Got home about twelve.

FRIDAY, February 4, 1870.

This morning as soon as convenient I started for home from Springers. Left there all right. Drove over to Hamiltons and made a call at Dr. Furgusson's. I have formed a very favourable opinion of Mrs. Dr. F. I received there my companion brother George F. and we made tracks for home together. We took dinner at Caledonia and fed our horse. Arrived home just as the sun was seting. We conversed a good deal, while on the way, about matrimonial matters, and I for my part felt myself much proffited by the conversation.
