5th I walked to Bran Green & while on the way I
called to see a woman that was sick at red Marley, &
while sitting in the house I saw a curiosity, a man
called at the door accompaned with a small dog, the
man held in his hand a small bag containing three ferrets
& inpuired of the woman if she wanted her house cleared
of rats she answered yes, the man then opened the
bag & took out three ferrets about the size of a large
rat around the body & twice als long, & put them into
the rat holes & they immediately drove the rats from under
the house out of their holes into the room whare we we
were & the little Dog stood watching & cought them &
killed the rats as they came out of their holes
I preached at Bran Green & walked to Haw Cross & spent
the night at Priest Wm Symons. Distans of the day 6 miles
I was accompanyied during this days walk by Brother Job Smith
he was but 11 years of age but he had the longest head I ever
saw upon a boy & the most in it. he had a great mind & it was
well stored with knowledge & understanding, he is almost
a proverb among the people whare he is known, & I think he will
be a useful character in his day & generation. Born Dec[ember] 28, 1828
