Replacing The Broken Butter Pot

Tuesday, April 4, 1854: I went to Election  to the house of Mr. Mason what is called Hiram Brown’s old stand and Randal A. Brown was elected supervisor over James W. Glass, the whig candidate. I paid six cts to Wm. L. Brown’s store for maple sugar.
Friday: I and all my family went to Stephen Van Rensselaer Jolls house to the funeral of his son Stephen.
Tuesday: Today a peddler from Williamstown called his name is R. Berry, he took 23 pounds of carrot seed on commission at 75 cts per and we agreed to take store pay or tin in payment and we paid him 30 cts in rags for a tin teapot that his price was 37½ cts and today Patrick Mority came and paid me the 75 cts that I trusted him for a bushel of potatoes last week and we trusted him again for a dozen eggs 12½ cts.
Thursday: I walked over to Appolas Rollo’s to let Mr. Davis know that Geo P. will let him have his fat oxen at 4½ dollars per hundred live weight and said Davis said he would take said fat oxen next week on Wednesday.
Friday: I spread manure and John F. plowed with my horse and his horse old ground in the young orchard. Tonight quite a snow storm.
Saturday: This morning I took my horse and cutter and my wife and daughter Charlotte E. and started to go to brother Samuel Beers but the snow was so soft and bad sleighing and we returned home, only going nearly a mile, as far as Mr. Horton’s.
Wednesday: Towards night I took my horse and wagon and rode to Hancock and paid six dollars and six cents for one hundred and thirty two pounds of super fine flour  and the barrel it was in and I paid 25 cts for two pounds of maple sugar, and I sold a stone pot of butter for Geo P and took a due bill at 18 cts per. I, going to the mill after Edwards Manying grist, broke Geo P’s butter pot and on the way coming home I called to R. A. Brown’s store and got trusted for a stone pot, 3 gallons, 63 cents and agreed to pay in corn and carried the pot  to Geo P. and fetched home the broken pot.
