Hard frosts every night freeze ice strong enough to carry a home, Every place le full of teeter when the sun ie out a while, and there ie lots of sketiug in the mornings. Our horses came through pretty good as they were 11 days and 12 nights o0 the road. We cannot get out to see the lane where we intended going for about two mouths as the water will be so high When the snow is gone, that is if it goes this eummer, and the grass was all burned last Fall so that there is no feed for horses. The trip is too long to carry hay enough so we will have to leave it off till the grass grows. I have been ad- vised by Commissioner McKellar to wait till the first of June as there is plenty of good land there yet to be surveyed and cumin be all surveyed this season.
