Boston, April 12. We hear from Cambridge, that on April
Fools Day, was married there by the Rev. Dr. Appleton, Mr.
Thomas Reed, aged 89 years, to the aggeeable Mrs. Alice
Pierce, aged 87 years, who for a long time supported the
office of College Sweeper with great dignity and to general
approbation of the students: but has lately resigned that
post and retired from business with a handsome fortune. --
In the evening an elegant supper was provided, at which were
present some eminent personages. -- During the ceremony,
minute guns were fired by the whole artillery of that place;
and a bell was rung for three hours on the happy occasion.--
The next morning by day break another royal salute was
given, and the bell rung as before. . . . Expectations of a
numerous progency are very great.---
Happy ! Happy ! Happy pair !
None but the brave,
None but the brave,
None but the brave deserve the fair.
