Boston, March 7. Tuesday last being the anniversary of the
melancholy Fifth of March, 1770, when Mess. Gray, Maverick,
Caldwell, Carr and Attucks, were killed by a party of
soldiers in King-street: The bells of the several
congregational meeting-houses were tolled from XII o'clock
at noon till I. . . [30 more lines describing exhibition at
the house of Paul Revere.] At nine o'clock the bells tolled
a doleful peal, until ten, when the exhibition was
withdrawn, and the people all retired to their respective
habitations.
