The Spiritualisls broke camp at Lake
Pleasant last Monday, having had for the
most part a very successful meeting. The
managers of the Vermont Central Rail
road persisted in their refusal TO run sun
day trains for the accommodation of those
wishing to attend. In this respect, il

trains were, however, run on Sundays
over the Fitchburg and Connecticut River
roads, and, 50 far as is known, without
special injury to anybody's conscience. In-

TO see in what respect the running of q
train of cars on Sunday is worse than the
driving of a horse and carriage, especially
when for the accommodation of people de.
string to attend religious gatherings.
