To be seen at the house of John Williams in King-Street
Boston, in addition to the operations in electricity which
are still performed there, a curious Musical Machine, which
plays several tunes, chimes and changes, and various
movements; being performed by clock work in imitation of Bow
Bells in London.
  Likewise a posture master boy, who performs most
surprizing postures, transforming himself into various
shapes.
  Also a living creature called a fiery lynx, or Tyger Lyon,
worthy the sight of the curious.
  Attendance will be given from 10 o'clock 'till 12 at noon,
and from 2 till 4 afternoon, and from 6 to 8 at night, to 10
or more in company.
  N.B.  The said posture boy and the other articles will be
but a very short time in this place, those who incline to
see the same, are desir'd to give attendance at said place,
as soon as they can with conveniency, where they shall be
well received.
