we do our brother Christopher no

change was tnailo by the Chl istiah
church, are iptestions mom easily
asked than answered. >
It is probable that tilt) first day
of the Week among Christians has
liecn ovserVed in plabe of the Sab-
lmtll since A. D. 325. tffnm tho
death of Christ up to that datoj
the first day of the WUOk Witt kept
by the Okristinne as a festival in
honor or memory of the rbmtri'oo-
tinlt of Christ. It seems that up
to the Unto mentioned the modem
keeping the first day of the week
was that the A|xwtles, and after
them their successors. Would meet
iu some ohrirclt arid read a portion
of the soripturek) and comment oh
it in such a mritmer as seemed bust.
As time passed on and the Chris
tians heCtlui'. more numerous and
powerful, rind the Jews enelined
in nuetribers, rind the Jewish na
tion became as it were the Ishmael
among tiations, Mils. Christians
separated themselVes os Irir as
jmi-sihle from the manners and
customs of the Jews; it naturally
happened that the first day of the-
week tool; the place of the Hubbath
of the Jews. After the edict ol
Countriuline in A. D. 321 rind the
action of the council of Nice in A.
D. 325, we suppose that the
seventh day of the week censed to
be observed altogether by the
(jhfistirinri nn a holy day. As a
matter of curiosity we give in ver
bis tile celebrated edict of Cons
tantine on this sulgcct-1
‘•The Bmperrfr Cu«stai>tiae, to
Augustus Helpidins: Let all the
judges and city poople and the
business of all arts rest onthe ven

meiitgopportu'iity the benefit grun

able to do more thym intimate a
few facts connected with this sub
ject; if however we shall have suc
ceeded in inducing our renders to
ivetnigrttethis question onr object

In conclusion wd will state that
in our judgement the fourth com
mandment of the decaloguo is still
binding upon men. At tho saffie
time, it is our opinion that it the
seventh day of eaeh week is proper
ly observed, the diviuo require
ment will have been mot. What
is the proper observance o! the
day might well form tho topio of
another paper. We will in this
oimrieutio however say, in all

seventy-five mile post, between
Stations No. 7 and 7), on Tuesday
night, it is not definitely known
atpresontwhntcaused the accident,
but the supposition is, it was the
result of the spreading of thb tails.
The train ran off the trrick, and
the engine was completely turned
over. The engineer, Simon
Kehobj was instaptly killed, being
caught between the reverse leVer
and the side of the cab, the bar
piereing his body and pasting en
tirely through) crushing the bnues
arid fiiaUgling the doth. The fire
man, Thumbs rainier, woe badly
bruised aud fiut about the bead,
and Dr. Dunotn, who examined
him on his arrival in the city yes
terday afternoon, his arrifrif in
the City yesterday alterimtfn, is of
tho opinion that, ho is. seriously
iqjured internally. The wood
passer, Tittus HaftOrS, colored,
sustained a fracture of the right
arm above the elbow, And also re
ceived a slight wound inf the body.
The remuiris of the eugioeer,
Mr. Keh00) itoro brought to the
city at 11 tl. m. yesterday and
taken in Charge by Mr. Thomas
Henderson, who prepared the
body for burial. The deceased
woe a worthy man, and leaves a
wife and child to mourn his loss.
Tho injured fireman reached
tho city at 5 o’clock p. in., in
charge of l)r. Moore, of lilaCk-
shear, Dr. Duncan, who rendered
necessary attention and examined
their injuries thoroughly.
