Boston, May 22. Monday last was the time appointed for the
publick rejoicing on the repeal of the Stamp-Act. The ardor
of the people was so great, that immediately after the clock
struck one in the morning, the bell on the Rev. Dr. Byles's
Church (as being the nearest the Liberty Tree) was set a
ringing; which was soon answered by the bells on Christ-
Church, at the other end of the town; and in short time all
the other bells of the town struck in. Before two o'clock
musick was heard in the street, the drums beat, and guns
fired.
