Myron , Novembe Adams, of Rochester, who is charged. by efrom Mr. some of his congregation with heterodox Mrs. Gzo opinions on the subject of eternal punish- Northey, ment. Mr. S. D. Porter defended Mr. gers : Adams from the charge of heretical When teaching, his belief in the inspire- steamer ton of the scriptures, the divinity which th of Christ and the- indwelling of the. away, an Holy Spirit being often asserted. On the question of future retribution and eternal punishment, he disavowed. the ;doctrine of endless sufferings for sin. He was still a searcher for the truth, a sincere and earnest man, who spoke plainly what he believed. The Church should not be intolerant of private -judgment, as that was the founda- tion of the Protestant faith. John Tal - man -and A. M. McLean also defended the pastor. Hon. Williard IIodges took the opposite side, claiming that Mr. Adams had seriously departed • from the true aith, liad taught that the letter of the 'lime is nee ee anuended upon, and that the hidden meanings or tn. tures could could only be found by profound searching, had explicitly denied the doe - trine of endless punishment, and taught that of the annihilation of the wicked. So openly had he proclaimed these views that orthodox clergymen would not admit him to their pulpits. The prosperity of Plymouth was endangered by such teach, in.gs. The association went into secret sessiou and considered the paper from the Buffolo Presbytery accusing Mr. Adams of preaching heterodox doctrines in a, church of that denomination in Dunkirk, taking the pulpit by forceeand allowing his brother, a depesed Presbyterian minister, to preach in Plymouth church. Mr. A.dams' reply to - these charges w.as also read. ,No conclusion was reached, the convention adjourning until 9 o'clock nextm6rning. Truth Stranger Than Fiction. "What else?

I Many householders are sorely troubled by the growth of fungi in damp rooms, to ; which they communicate, in a short time, an unpleasant smell and. an unwholesome atmosphere. It is not only our cellars that e are apt to be affected by fungoid growth, but the walls of the adjacent rooms, and re many bed -rooms on the ground iloor are similarly rendered use14,ss after a moist season. Many remedie have been pro- posed to destroy this fi*goid growth, or to prevent its occurrence, but hitherto these remedies have been too expensive or totally inefficacious. Recently an alcoholic solu- tion of five grammes of salicylic acid per litre of water for washing the walls of rooms has been recommended. This is exactly e per cent., or one part salicylic acid for 200 parts liquid. No doubt the ;• mold may be destroyed temporarily by this, as by many other solutions, such, for instance, as corrosive sublimate or carbolic acid. The true remedy, however, is not this temporary expedient, nor attempting to hide the dampness by enamel paints etc.; it is to cut off the source of mois- ture, and to put the waterproof materials outside, and not inside, the walls.
