WnMNGroS AND MANCHESTER RAILROAD
Our readers will perceive from an advertise
mcnt in our issue to day, that the Cars will not
run from Sumtcrville hereafter on Sunday, This
is wise and prudent regulation, and will be
productive Of much good. BY this arrangement,
they make the sabbath what it ought to be, a
day of rest, and avoid many serious accidents
which would otherwise be unavoidable.
We think this practice ought to become more
general inasmuch as there is no absolute necessity
for Sunday travelling. Business will no the hurt
bv it, and human and divine laws will be regar
dcd with that respect which is due them from the
wise and holy origin from whence they sprang.
