I had the honor of entertaining her under my roof, sending her in my carriage to Lake Ontario, just eighteen hours before your arrival: hence my willingness to have you search my premises." Like the varied combinations of the kaleidoscope, the scenes in our social life at Peterboro were continually changing from grave to gay.
During the earlier days at Peterboro he composed in a music room which was joined to the main body of the house by a covered passage; in this way he could hear nothing of the household workings, and was unaware of the chance caller. No one was ever allowed to intrude upon him, save his wife. Yet certain outside noises were still apparent; so the log cabin in the woods was built.
The Sarnia Observer, Sherbrooke Gazette, Stratford Beacon, Perth Courier , Lindsay Post, Guelph Mercury , Yarmouth Herald, Peterboro Review, St. Thomas Journal, News of St. Hyacinthe, Carleton Sentinel, Maritime Farmer, are among the many journals which display no little vigour in their editorials and skill in the selection of news and literary matter.

In the fields the hay-cocks and corn-ricks were just showing themselves above the water.
I was told two amusing anecdotes of the late Bishop Macdonald; a man whose memory is held in great veneration in the province, which I will give you here. The old bishop was crossing the Rice Lake in a birch bark canoe, in company with Mr. R , the Presbyterian minister of Peterboro'; the day was rather stormy, and the water rough for such a fragile conveyance.
