It is well known that some large flocks along 

 the Genesee river, have, for some years past, 

 deteriorated rapidly ; and it is not unworthy of 

 inquiry, how fai" the cause assigned, may have 

 occasioned this deterioration. It will aflbrd ine 

 pleasure, to communicate, occasionally, for the 

 columns of the Genesee Farmer, any information 

 which my rural pursuits may enable ine to give 

 and which may be deemed interesting to the public.

Take Notice. 



At a meeting of the Blue Hill Turnpike Corporation, 

 held at Randolph, January 2d, 1832, on a motion to con- 

 tract with some person to set up a wagon as a repaireraf 

 the road, ot the following dimensions, viz : rims of tie 

 •wheels not less than eight inches in width, one axeltne 

 sixteen inches long-er than the other, —to pass from Boi- 

 ton to New-Bedloid: 



Voted, That the Director.^ contract with some persoi 

 or persons, lo run such a wagon, on such terms a< thcv 

 may think reasonable ; also, to correspond with towis 

 or individuals, as they may think proper, to accomplish 

 the oliject. 



Any person disposed to contract as above, may apply 

 to NATH'L TUCKER, Milton, )

Jan. 27, 1832. 



The public are respectfully requested to give the 

 above their attention, and reflect whether this siibject 

 might not he worthy the consideration of the Legislature, 

 at their present session — especially as so much is now 

 doing throughout the United States to render travellimr 

 more cnmloi table and expeditious ; and it is a known 

 fact, that a large portion of our most public roads, al- 

 though constructed and repaired with the best materials 

 that can be obtained where said roads are located, ar^' 

 subject to the very great inconvenience of deep ruts. It 

 is presumed if the General Court would offer a bounty to 

 individuals, to establish a given number of the above 

 described wagons, to travel on the most public roads 

 throughout the Commonwealth, as repairers of the same, 

 and for transportation of goods, it would be the means of 

 filling the ruts, and save a large portion of the almost 

 useless expense of repairing roads, and also reconcile tlie 

 public to the utility of the broad wheel law. 2w
