- (continued from previous page)great custom to go to where two townlands met and make a lath of rushes and take it home and not speak to anyone in the house and go to bed and leave the lath up against the bed and during the night the person you would be married to would appear on the rushes.
Another trick was to go to some river and take a stick and mark the stick at the height of the water and if the river would rise during the night the price of food would rise (during the) that year.- Informant
