The President, on his return to New-York from his late tour,
through Connecticut, having missed his way on Saturday, was
obliged to ride a few miles on Sunday morning, in order to gain
the town, at which he had previously proposed to have attended
divine service.--Before he arrived, however, he was met by a
Tythingman, who commanding him to stop, demanded the occasion of
his riding; and it was not until the President had informed him
of every circumstance, and promised to go no further than the
town intended, that the Tythingman would permit him to proceed on
his journey.

This Sunday question has been so often discussed of late years, and the
opinions expressed on the same are so diverse, that it may be well to print
a few selections on the subject from some of the old newspapers, that those
who are interested may see, as a matter of curiosity, if for no other
reason, what views have been entertained within the past century, more
especially in New England, in reference to Sunday.
