SABBATH ASSOCIATION.

WHEREAS the Association in the county of Middlesex, for aiding in
carrying into effect the Laws of this Commonwealth against the
violation of the Sabbath, met at Concord in November last,--and
finding nothing which required further proceedings at that time,
thought fit to adjourn. This is to give notice, that the meeting
of said Association stands adjourned, to meet at Concord, at the
former place of meeting, in Hamilton's Hotel, on the first
WEDNESDAY in February next, at ten o'clock A.M.

A general attendance is requested.

The following notice from the "Columbian Centinel" shows that rapid
driving on the Lord's Day was forbidden in Boston as lately as 1817:--

POLICE OFFICE.

_Boston, July_ 12, 1817.

COMPLAINTS having been made at this office of dangers and
disturbances arising from the rapidity with which carriages are
driven on the Lord's Day, special persons have been selected to
take notice of this indecorous conduct, that the law on the
subject may be rigidly enforced. It is forbidden to drive, during
Divine Service, or while the inhabitants are going to or
returning from their several houses of public worship, any
carriage at a greater rate than a walk or moderate foot pace; and
masters and mistresses are responsible, if the servants are
unable to pay the penalty incurred by them in this offence.
