The question whether 1t is siu to sleep
in meeting is being discussed in some Of the
journals of Connecticut. The Killingly
Transcrip! puts il in general and imper-
soual manner, by asking whether it is a sin
for Mr.. Smith to sleep in meeting; add goes
on to answer, as follows; "We should call
it sin of inarunity, not OF intention, and
regard 1t as his duty to use every means in
his power to overcome this inarmity." We
refer to the subject TO express hope that
when the Senatorial election in Virginia ia
over, Mr., Greeley will give us his views
upon sleeping in meeting. We suppose there
may be men in 'the United States who have

concerning it wond be listened to with st
