TO THE EDITOE. Sib, — I believe six days we are appointed fc^work, but on the seventh we are ,to rest, but that rule was not observed m the locality known — more so on a Sunday — as lower modesl Carnar.von.- Taking a walk last Sunday, not a hundred miles away from a hay stack, I saw two amiable young men" that do very, little m the weejc, making up for it ou Sunday, by sowing and harrowing m grain. I do "not think for a moment they .could have forgotten the day, for as I went a little further up the road, I 'met part of the family coming from very close to where church is held. I hope if the pastor of the church hears of it he will try and remedy the existing evil. Sir, I think when anyone sees a thing of this sort it is his place to make it known, especially when there was not the slightest necessity for it, and m very good circumstances. We have had a deal of rain, but not sufficient to take advantage of the Sabbath. Apologising for space m your valuable columns,— l am, &c, r ' Fifth Cora vndment.
