[Boston. Journal of Occurrences, continued] A gentleman at
New-Port writes--"As I am a very great lover of Liberty, of
beauty, of music, of my country, and of all those who
endeavour to promote and establish, by good oeconomy its
wealth, peace, prosperity and tranquility, and being at the
sign of Pitt's Head in this town, on Tuesday last, was
extremely pleased by having admittance into the company of
eleven of the daughters of liberty, ladies of character, and
lovers of British freedom, and industry; each being laudable
employed in playing on a musical instrument, called a
spinning wheel, the melody of whose music, and the beauty of
the prospect, transcending for delight, all the
entertainments of my life.

as "honor to America".]
