Philadelphia, June 28. . . At a meeting of a lodge of Free
Masons, in order to celebrated the Festival of St. John's
day, it accidentally happened that exactly thirteen members
met, that at dinner they have thirteen dishes of meat on the
table; they drank thirteen loyal American toasts, sang
thirteen songs; their bill for liquor was thirteen bottles
of wine. . . [5 lines, remarkable in that it] was in some
degree emblematical of the union, friendship, harmony, and
freedom of the Thirteen United States of America.
