1867
Wednesday, January 16. 
  Clear. At 7 A.M. ther. at
6[degrees] below zero, at 10P.M. 6[degrees]
Got a ride from the gymnasium
to the mouth of Craigie St.
Rode up to Dan's in P.M.
and R. Deane went with 
his sleigh. Dan had
gone shooting but I rode
through the fields and met 
him: he had fired twice
a quails and he had a
grey squirrel stuffed
which he had shot last
Saturday. Started from
there at about 5.15 and
was as usual very late
to dinner. Went up to the
Russell's in the evening
and coasted down on my sled.

Thursday, January 17.
  Cloudy all day. At 8 AM.
ther. at 14[degrees] at 10 P.M. at 18[degrees].
When I woke up it was
snowing hard but only about
two inches had fallen. It
snowed all day harder than
I ever saw it before, indeed most
of the time it was impossible 
to see more than eighty yards.
Our school was dismissed an
hour early and the snow was
then nearly two feet on a level
and some of the drifts 7 feet.
It stopped snowing a little
after dark. Spent all the P.M.
in fixing my birds. Studied
from 6.30 P.M. to 8. Read till
9.30 P.M.
