war raging in the country. Everything
around us seemed "loyely and the goose
hung high" We then started again for
our base of supplies and arrived safely.
We wished TO make further trip and
explore a little further north or northwest,
and off we started and got along reason /
ably well some time, but the roads seem /
TO be getting narrower and our vision (.
seemed to be getting somewhat defective,
and in short time we landed in a snow
drift. This shook our faith somewhat In
the driving, because we had full faith in
the horse, though he drank nothing but
cold water and eat nothing but oats, he
seemed to understand his business better
than we did that were hunting up dclica
cies
We compared ideas then for some time,
and could not agree, one insisting to drive
and the other objecting. Our companion
insisting that he would take us safe, and
to trust to his driving, and we now be-
| lieve be would. But we rather felt like
the old Scotch lady who was about to
! cross ferry, and severe squall coming
on. The ferryman asked her not to be
! afraid, to trust to Providence. She said
she would if there was no bridge at Ster-
ling. So when we found good quarters
there, and a couple of gentlemen either OF
them willing to entertain us. We gladly
accepted of their hospitality, but our COM
panion after proceeding some further on
turned round and got back TO bis base of
supplies. We were Hospitality and kindly
treated at the farm house, and the next
morning, the farmers son drove US into
Loretto There we met again, the meeting
was most cordial on both sides. Ii was
a miniature 8 meeting of the waters,' as
celebrated by the immortal Moore. He
was just preparing to 60 after US, and we
were anxious lest he should not be there.
After some little delay in Loretto we
started home. We had to 60 round by
Cresson again, did not stay long there.
We stopped at Munster to water our
horse, and Sheriff Durbin gave Us some
water also, but we believe it was mixed.
We got home in due time and in good
order without any accident save and cx-
ccpt the running a board off the box OF
William Carneys sleigh, as we were
coming into town. His horse got frightcn-
ed at the locomotive and backed ans
drove his sleigh in contact with ours
There is something most singular il
sleigh riding from any other mode o
travel, you can change the temperature o
the weather, from cold 10 moderate b,
nutmeg or warm mills, made into punches
but it has the quality of narrowing th
road and lowering the snow drifts w
