TERRE-HAUTE, INDIANA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1853.

Restrictive Lavs of OMea t'iaws. Wp were readsng. recently, a hi«tory of Connecticut, from its first settlement under Geol Fenwick, down to the Revolution.—, The volume was originally published in London, in 1781. and reprinted at new Ha ven fh 1829 and we found some curiou* enactments tlieisein'

?"Here

are some of the

taws: •Whoever w«ars clothes trimmed wttfv told, silver, or bone face, above two shifltngs by the yard shall he presented by the grand jurors, and tbe selectmen shall tax the offender at £300 estate *A debtor in prison, swearing he hath no estate, shall be let out and sold to make satisfaction.' 'No one shall read tbe book of Common Prayer, keep Christmas or Saints days. Oiake minced pies, dance, pla? cards or play on any instrument of music* except !the drum, trumpet and Jewsharp.* 'The Sabbath shall begin at sunset on Saturday. •No woman shall kiss her children on the Sabbath or fasting day.' 'No.one shall travel, cook victualsr/'tnake beds, sweep house, cut hair, or shave on the Sabbath daw

•Xo one shall, run on the Sabbath day, or walk in his garden, or elsewhere, except reverently to and front meeting."

Wefound the following account of a punishment inflated for entertaining heretics on one Deacon Potter, whom Cotton Mather says was very guilty, and thet he had a fair legal and candid trial and was convioted on good and scriptural evidenoc: •Deacon Potter,' says Mather.'^'^was haog6d for heresy 8nd aposlacy which coniifted in showing hospitality to strangers who came to his house during the night, among whom were Quakers, Anabaptists and Adamiies.' His wile betrayed him for hiding the spies, and sending them away in peace. There was also a political offence, the remedy far which is worth noth

'No man shall hold oilicf who is not sound in faith, and faithful to this dominion and whosoevor gives a vote lo such a person, shall pay a fine of one pound, for a second offence he shall be disfranchised.' 'The Uev. Geo. Whitfield, in one of his jsarmons gives the people of Connecticut the following character "Tliey ere the wisest of any on th^f continent, the best friends, end the worst enemies they aro hair brained bigots on all sides, and they njay be compared to horse end mule without bit and bridlt*. In other colonies 1 have paid for my food and lodging, but never could spend one penny in fruitful Connecticut, whose banks flow with milk and honey, and whose sons nnd daughters never fail to feed and refresh the weary traveller without money and without price. On Suturduy evenings the poofie look sou r, and sad, and on the Sabbath they appear to have lost their be^t friends, and are almost speechless, and walk softly.

Quaker ^preacher once told them, with much truth that they worshipped the Subbath aud not the God of the Sabbath. Those hospitable people without oharitv, condemned the Quaker as a blasphemer of the holy Sabbath, fined, tarred and feathered him, put a rope around his neck, and plunged him into the sea but he escaped with his life, though he was above seventy years of
