the decisions of the Portland and
Washington assemblies were wrong
and should be reversed. He was de-
ciared to have gone further than DR..
Briggs in his views, holding not only
that errors may have been contained
in the original Scriptures, ut
even specifying them. He was
also accused of throwing dis
credit, not only on the books of the
Bible, but also upon the author of the
same, who he claimed was alleged by
the confession to be God himself. He
closed by saying that if Professor
Smith will retract his errors the Pres
bytery of Cincinnati will make haste
to take him again in full confidence
The refusal of the assembly to sit
tonight was due TO WEAKNESS, out it
will give ample opportunity for the
preparation of a large number of briet
speeches which promise to prolong
the sessions of the assembly by sew
eral hours.

FARM NOTES.
Wide Tires and Roads.


In New York state the experiment
was made of using wide tires on a road
about five miles wide leading to stone
quarry. The heavy wagons used
thereon were equipped with rear
wheels having tires six inches wide
and forward wheels having tires four
inches wide, the forward wheels track
ing just inside the rear wheels. Each
wagon was thus transformed into a
roller covering 20 inches in width
every time it passed along. Smaller
wagons were equipped with wheels
similar in principle. The road, which
formerly rutted necessarily and
deeply, was covered with stone chips,
which these wagons soon rolled into a
hard mass. The road now supports
loads of from 5000 to 10000 pounds,
and consequently has a hard, compact
and regular surface. The cost OF haul
ing loads over this road is reduced
about 90 per cent.
