To day the ladies from home in company with Ed. Jones went out in hunt of black berries. they had not been gone long before the winds came and the rain descended in torrents when they all returned looking more like drowned rats than human beings. The Steamer Mary Lenard came down the river and in attempting to land carried away part of the lower landing and lost over board a part of her cargo but effected a landing finally against the steamer Swan.
Thus closes my notes for the month of December and also for the year just passed and gone and now numbered with the things that were. Whether the Almighty will spare me to chronicle the daily events of the incoming year is more than I know but trusting in Him I shall enter upon the pleasing task, which is useful as a reference and may be profitable to those who have an interest in me.
