[Joseph Smith Diary] ... Elder Hyde prayed [and] I preached to a large and attentive audience 2 hours from 19 Rev[elation], 10 verse and shewed them that any man who denied his being a prophet was not a preacher of righteousness.

While waiting a moment Mr. Crane's horse (for he went with our company) which was behind ran and jumped into our sleigh as we jumped out and thence over our horses and the fence sleigh and all, fence 8 rails high and both horses ran over lots and through the woods clearing themselves from the sleighs and had their frolic out without hurting themselves or riders. It was truly a wonderful feat and as wonderful a deliverance of the parties. ...
