REMINISCENCE Editor'q Note.—For this article we are indebted to Mr. w J. Currie, R. R. 1, Granton, who until recently lived in. EaSt Wawanosh. In the evening of October 8th., 1868, there came a very heavy fall of snow and it remained on the ground till the spring of 1869. There was many pot- atoes, carrots and turnips remained in the ground all winter. We did not have mangolds at that time. I re- member going with my father to neighbour's place for a wagon load of turnips in the Spring. They were large turnips and of good quality they evi- dently had grown some through the winter The fall of 1884 was very dry, there was just a mere trickle of water flowing down the river in places. The farmers had to take their stock great distances for water. I had a contract of cutting one hundred and ten ..cords of wood and was in the bush every working day of February, 1885. It was very cold the theremometer stood at zero or ,below every day of the month 'but one, On the tenth of Feb- ruary, 1885 in the evening my brother and I went up the fiver with a' horse and stoneboat for about four miles, some places on the bottom of the river and others on the ice, we went out af- terwards with pails and put water on the thin places and built up a pretty good road. We teamed wood on the river till spring. 'There came a thaw in the fore part of March but our road kept good. Some of the farmers adjacent used our road to 'get to town as the other road- was very bad. One such farmer was taking in a load of • chop and a neighbour, an elderly man wished to take a ride with him but was dubious about going on the river, however he thought he would risk it, When they had got about a mile and everything going alright the old, man said "this would be a good road all summer if it was only travelled on," My brother took a sleighload of women to a quilting on the sixth of April down that road in the morning but they had to come back by the right road in the evening, Wm.
