CJ-NH.770.017

[Boston, Jun 21]. . . On Monday night about eight o'clock
two soldiers were attacked and beat. But the party of the
towns-people, in order to carry matters to the utmost
length, broke into two meeting-houses, and rang the alarm
bells, which I supposed was for fire as usual, but was soon
undeceived. About nine some of the guard came to & informed
me, the town inhabitants were assembling to attack the
troops, and that the bells were ringing as the signal for
that purpose, and not for fire, and the beacon intended to
be fired to bring in the distant people of the country.
