Autobiography Volume 2 circa 1865
On the I was at Worcester. There was
a cattle show there on that day; and here wasere some of the finest oxen
I ever saw in my life. I saw one large ox that girted 10 feet
and weighed alive 4200 pounds; two Durham oxen which were two of
three twins calved at a time 2200 lbs each; a mamouth Durham cow
girt 8 feet, weight 2500 lbs; and other remarkable specimens in the
cattle line.
In the evening I took the cars to Northbridge
We were loaded down almost to suffocation and the cars crowded out on
the platforms until the people were in danger of falling off
I stayed with the Saints at Northbridge
over the next day and returned to Worcester. Here I visited the
insane hospital which contained about 500 occupants. Their appartments
were neat clean and comfortable. Bro ^Jesse^ Haven went through
the Asylum with me.
