Portsmouth, August 3. We hear from Somersworth, that the
honourable Thomas Wallingford, Esq; of that town, at a town-
meeting lately held there, for receiving the account of
charge upon a bell lately imported for the meeting house in
that place, freely and generously gave the whole sum, by
paying the cash, amounting to twenty three pounds lawful
money; upon which the town chearfully voted him thanks, and
chose a committee to wait upon him with the same. And we
further hear, that this is the third instance of the like
generosity in Col. Wallingford to that town. . .
