Danford has manifest some dissatisfaction with the general movement of the school afairs in that school. We did not go to the examination - We all went in to our village school at the close two or three weeks since, and the school appeared very well - There were a great many visitors that day - I should think they had had a good school - Chandler is getting logs into the mill - I have worked in the woods some, but not regularly - Danford is cutting those sapling pines at the left of the new road to Samuel Goldsburg's - They are cutting them off very fast and Samuel has a two horse team with which he draws this pine timber to the sawmill near to Chandlers - Samuel agreed to draw one Hundred Cords - Samuel is very hearty & well - Little Alma & Abby were quite well Wednesday, and as I have mentioned Maria is also well - Mary & Rhoda made several calls on Wednesday here in the village - I think they call on 5 different ones - All remains about as usual with our neighbors here in the village - Mr. Goldsburg folks are well - James Jr is not at home - He is spending the winter in Georgia - Last accounts say he is well ) L.W.G & family are well - John G has been preaching all winter but is going next week to make his children a visit - He will be gone 4 or 5 weeks Mr [Tenny?] will preach the next Sunday after he goes away - They are well at Mrs. Gales, Cobbs, Widow Fullers, Whelocks, that is well as when you was here - Mr. Scott has been sick a long time, but is well again now- No special news in the village except Bently Sanger is married to Miss Allen and Martha Lawrence is married to Mr. Farnsworth - H. Draper will soon be married, I suppose & go to Chicago - William D Hastings wife is dead - William was here to and Lycum with his daughter Tuesday Eve - Some thought strange - David Ball (Young David) & family are visiting in town - Eben Ball is said to be engaged - Don't know to whom - Our Lycums are prospering finely. Rev D C O Daniels of Athol lectures next week & we expect a full house -
