Cambridge [Massachusetts], May 22.  The following is taken
from a manuscript account of the fire that happened in
Boston last Wednesday night. . . [20 lines]  Instead of
ringing the bells as usual, the soldiers beat to arms, by
which the people were in great confusion, not being used to
such signals in time of fire.
