[Boston] On receiving the above agreeable news of the
surrender of Quebec and defeat of the French army, the bells
in Town were set to ringing. . . [27 lines]
ON THE DEATH OF GENERAL WOLFE.
What honours, Wolfe, should thy brave brows adorn?
Shall fading wreaths, by other heroes worn?
Not breathing marble, nor enliv'ning brass,
Tho' there thy manly form the eye may trace;
. . . [10 more lines, signed] Massachutensis
We hear that the Reverend Mr. Cooper, Chaplain to his
Excellency the Governor and the two houses, is to preach a
sermon to morrow, before the Great and General Court now
sitting, on the occasion of the success of his Majesty's
arms in the reduction of Quebec. After divine service is
over, his Excellency and the Court are to dine together at
Fanueil Hall, and in the beginning of the evening are to be
entertained with a Concert of Music at Concert Hall, to
which the gentlemen concerned in the management have given
them an invitation. When the concert is over, they will
repair to the Council Chamber, his Excellency having given
an invitation to the civil and military officers, and other
persons of distinction, to drunk the King's health there,
&c. . .
