January 6	1879			We just passed through some of the most, cold and sever weather known for some time. Storm commenced on Thursday, Jan. 2 and kept up with unabated fury until Sunday. Roads in northern part of township so blocked with snow that travel is impossible. Such drifts were never known before with the depth of snow we now have. Instead of Christmas Trees this year there was an arch in the church on New Year’s eve (Does he mean Christmas Eve?) which was neatly arranged and hung with many fine presents. Some of which were very valuable. The Sabbath School scholars getting some nice presents from their teachers and the teachers in turn getting some nice presents from their scholars.
