Compliant comes to us from several quar-
tiers that there is a disposition on the part of
two or three of the village BARRIERS to return
to the old practice of keeping their shops
open on Sunday mornings, although there is
square agreement that no one of the shops
shall SO open without giving fair warning to
all the others Up to this time the matter
has probably only gone 80 far as to accommo-
date few belated customers but the ten
dency, nevertheless, is one which should be
resolutely discouraged. The Sunday closing
arrangement has worked to universal satisfAc.
ton thus far, and the responsible members of
the craft are very much averse to seeing it
done away with. There is no good reason
why the BARRIERS should not have one day of
rest out of the seven as well as other crafts.
men, and the beet public sentiment sustains
them in demending it. We observe that in
st. Adams the authorities have recently taken
the matter in hand and compelled the closing
OF the shops on Sunday.
